I don't know about you, but being a sports mom or dad can be challenging! Back in the Fall of 2022, I signed my son up for football and it was practice galore plus games on Sunday during the same times as the NFL games. Where they do that at?? I heard Buffalo, NY has all of their games on Saturdays and Sundays for the Bills. Anyways, I digress. After my son was done playing football, I signed my daughter up for basketball and her season was for three months!! I have a full-time job, a full-time side business, grad school, and other things on my plate, but my kids are important and I want them to have experience playing sports. Especially since they came to me about it. 

In this episode, I talk about my experience with being a sports dad and serving as a glorified taxi service for my kids to get to and from practice. I also share three tips I found to be important for keeping my sanity the next time around when football and basketball start up again. If you have any tips, I'd love to hear them!

In this episode, I provide information about the Gallup CliftonStrengths assessment that I use with my students and clients. I first came across the assessment in my doctoral program last year and I have not looked back since. From there, I became certified as a coach and I am loving the fact that I get to work with people to help them develop their strengths. It is my goal to help 100 people this year develop their strengths using the assessment as a guide.

How can we sustain ourselves by loving our spouses, raising a family, and getting ahead in our careers?? Sometimes I just want to go back to being a kid again because, for me, that time in my life was easy. I didn't have any bills or responsibilities and it was great! In this episode, I am getting all of my thoughts out about life(ing) because it can be hard to be an adult. Am I right or am I right?? 

How many of us have a story to tell?? I am 100% sure everyone who is reading this message is nodding their heads yes. I had the opportunity to pay it forward by telling parts of my story and pouring into the young black and brown men still in high school and trying to find their way. They are tasked with navigating a world that has repeatedly shown them that their lives are dispensable, which is not valid. It is our duty to hold these young brothers up and to let them in on the wisdom that has carried us through the good times and the hard times. Let's continue to fight for our young black and brown males. Enjoy the episode. 

Hey Folks! 

I would like to thank you all for supporting the "People Our Age" podcast. I enjoyed sharing my thoughts and feelings with you all and am excited about the next phase of my life. POA is ending, but I am now partnered with two of my fraternity brothers with a new show called, "bRHO tAlk" where we discuss the triumphs and challenges of manhood, brotherhood, and fatherhood. We are on FB Live at 8:00 PM every Monday and we'd love to have you as part of the conversation.
