As the conversation on values continues, R.E.M.E discusses how self-awareness created his unique perspective on life. Shaquan elaborates on how breaking outside of social norms allowed him to gain self freedom. Unknowingly, the brothers realize how the two values are interconnected and can help to support the other.

Values are the basic fundamental beliefs that guide and motivate attitudes or one's judgment of what is important in life. R.E.M.E and Shaquan explore this definition and discuss the values they uphold most in their lives.

From brotherhood to the erasure of the middle child (it's real), R.E.M.E and Shaquan discuss their dynamics as siblings with a six-year age gap and how it has grown throughout the years. Talking through the changes in parenting styles and everything in between, while it all ties back to why two brothers now have a thought-provoKIN' podcast.

Often a topic not talked about or seen as taboo, death is inevitable and cannot be avoided. So let's talk about it! Instead of letting fear guide us away from the conversation, let's add value and appreciation to death and everything that comes with it, which is life.

Through life, we establish our own legacy and determine how we'll be remembered. And it is through the legacy of our cousin Meichie that we bring you Provokin' Dialogue. This first episode is dedicated to you and how your stamp on our lives will be passed forward to be a blessing to others. R.I.H. and Happy Birthday Demetrius 'Meichie' Sanders!
