Somebody's Son

One of our favorite people on the pod, Russ, will soon be a father. While we are happy for him and his beautiful wife, Tiara, we also want to take this time to shine a light on the amazing work they are doing as entrepreneurs in Petersburg, Virginia. 

Some of you have complimented our podcast set, and might’ve wondered where do we film? Thanks to Kris and Tiara, we have filmed all of season 2 at there creative studio. Sit back, enjoy hearing about how they are building their real estate empire, the love and partnership they lead with everyday, and if you’re ever in Virginia, stop by Haus on Market, where creatives live.

To achieve what we want in life, we have to make sacrifices. Small deeds such as being kind and polite to others and prioritizing them when you don't have to is not always convenient but will make you feel good doing so. Tim Crews, based in Virginia, does just that. He helps others find physical homes, but he's equally interested in making sure his actions help others find a spiritual home as well. Enjoy this episode, and be sure to share it with a friend.

We have a responsibility to encourage and uplift the voices of young people. Moe Music is one of those voices. Anyone fortunate enough to listen to him recognizes his melodic approach and vocal potential. Based in Richmond, Moe credits his family and community for provoking the beginning of his singing career. Like Dr. King, Moe has a dream, and he's doing all he can to make that his reality. Please sit back and enjoy the rise of a celebrated young artist long before the world recognizes he's worth celebrating.

Richard Duncan is the epitome of encouragement. The Virginia Tech alumnus serves as the associate pastor for Faith and Family church in Richmond, Virginia. Every day Rich looks for reasons to encourage the community, especially youth.

Out the gate, Richard salutes his father, Calvin Duncan. [2:01]

Has streaming helped the church connect with the community? [10:20]

Rich tells the fellas why it’s essential to have a business approach to organizations focused on the community. [14:59]

Whatever  spiritual places of worship you engage in, leverage that  social hub to create a greater sense of proximity to your local community. When you do, watch how your efforts bear fruit.

QUOTES

As a man, I came into this marriage knowing you had two kids. If I cannot take care of all yall, I do not need to be here. [1:58]

You have to be genuine to cut through the noise. [12:02]

Some pastors portray  a perfect ideal which is why some people do not want to come in the doors. [19:16]
