Have you ever tried to grow your social media following legitimately without resorting to bots or buying fake followers? I'm dropping some real knowledge today with my "hand-to-hand combat" method for Instagram growth – a simple strategy that involves following 50 people daily from legitimate accounts in your niche, letting it sit for a few days, then using data comparison to strategically unfollow those who didn't follow you back. This technique builds authentic engagement while keeping your account in good standing.

My cinematic journey took me to Arizona Mills to see "Sinners" in 70mm IMAX format, enduring those old-school, straight-backed theater seats that reminded me of midnight premieres from years past. The experience was completely worth the back pain! I also caught "Final Destination: Bloodlines" and despite my skepticism about that 94% Rotten Tomatoes score (which felt like a payoff!), the storyline was solid even if the acting made me grimace.

The most surprising development in my life? Picking up my first book since dropping out of school. Starting with "Good Morning Beautiful" by Daines L. Reed on a recommendation from a Barnes & Noble employee, I discovered my imagination could actually visualize what I was reading. Now I'm hooked, reading "Molly the Maid" and ordering Stephen King's "Later" – though my frugal decision to buy used might mean that book never arrives! Every morning, Winston (my dog) and I have a routine where I read aloud while he gazes out the window. It's a peaceful ritual that's opened up a whole new world for this formerly book-averse guy.

Working in nightlife promotion for over a decade has kept me surrounded by 21-25 year olds, which explains why being called "Unk" feels like a Jigsaw trap moment. It's the brutal reality of aging, but at least my job has prevented the typical midlife crisis – no sports cars or motorcycles needed when you're still in the mix. Share this episode if you've ever felt the sting of an age-related nickname or if you're looking for legitimate ways to build your social presence!

In a world where everyone’s quick to blast their opinions online, Thaddeous Shade keeps it real, unpacking the wild ride that is 2025. From the rise of keyboard warriors to the fallout of viral negativity, he breaks down how social media can either uplift or tear down small businesses faster than a one-star Yelp review.

Plus, a wild story about breaking into his own car with a wire hanger (and trying not to look like a car thief), the generational disconnect when TI and Tiny hit his club, and why respecting musical legends shouldn’t be a lost art.

Tune in for a raw, unfiltered take on staying connected, staying positive, and staying out of trouble — one post at a time.

Remember that feeling of escaping into comic books and Saturday morning cartoons as a kid? Comic-Con is the adult version of that same magic — a place where imagination takes center stage and your inner child can roam free without judgment.

For me, growing up in rougher neighborhoods, I found solace in X-Men comics, Ninja Turtles episodes, and movies that transported me far from reality. Discovering Comic-Con as an adult felt like finally finding a home for that same wonder and enthusiasm.

With Phoenix Fan Fusion (June 6-8) bringing heavyweights like Hayden Christensen, Kevin Smith, and Elijah Wood, and San Diego Comic-Con set to take over July with its can’t-miss reveals, it’s not just about star sightings — it’s about reconnecting with the kid inside who still believes in heroes, villains, and epic storylines.

This episode, we’re diving into how Comic-Con can be that bridge between the nostalgia of our childhood summers and the responsibilities of adult life — and why we need those moments of pure, unfiltered enthusiasm more than ever.

Tap in, share your own Comic-Con memories, and let’s keep that inner kid alive.

Ever been so locked into a playoff game that even your soul was sweating? That’s exactly what Warriors vs. Rockets Game 4 delivered. Jimmy “Buckets” Butler turned cold-blooded, Draymond danced through foul trouble, and Steve Kerr pulled a Hack-a-Adams move that felt like chess against toddlers. This wasn’t just basketball—it was drama, strategy, and survival.

But that same passion? I feel it counting down to Marvel’s Thunderbolts—dropping this Thursday and already sitting at 91% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s giving Guardians of the Galaxy energy: misfit anti-heroes, layered redemption arcs, and a real shot at reviving the MCU’s heart.

This episode is about that feeling—the moment you know something lights your fire. Whether it’s hoops, superhero flicks, or hitting record on a mic, we all got something that grounds us when life throws dragons, leprechauns, and algorithm updates at our heads. Like Greg Popovich said, you’ve got to play with “an appropriate amount of fear”—not to hold you back, but to keep you sharp.

This podcast? It’s mine. What’s yours?

🎧 Tune in, subscribe, and chase that “Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis” level passion with me.

Every episode is a shot at the life we actually want.

Sat down with my friend, my Brooklyn buddy NA, who is a former lyricist turned Personal Trainer, and who is fantastic at both. We talked about his journey into becoming a personal trainer. He also told me there is more to a personal trainer than just teaching you the right form... there is so much dopeness in this video. I hope you enjoy!
