Finally family we back! And it feels so good. After a well needed recharge I can honestly say I missed y’all and we better that ever. I’m joined by “the fam” K. Raashad, Chris Avery, and Bully Tha Kidd. We talk about everything from Lebron really being the goat, Astro boy boots, traits of all beautiful women, the awesome movement going on in Detroit, nursing scandals, and much more! Laughs are a guarantee. Come commune with us. When you here your family.

Okay picture this. After killing it in high school in both academics and athletics your sights are set on playing in the NFL and graduating as an engineer. But of course you know what they say. Telling God your plans is the easiest way to make Him laugh. This was the case for Ramon Smothers. This once engineer now turned designer is leaving his legacy in a different way. We sit down and talk about his upbringing and the pressures that come with trying to be great and leave a mark for a family. He talks about overcoming anxiety and depression in the face of adversity. And betting on himself by not only becoming a life coach and author, but also making a smash in the fashion industry with his brand Legacy Lapels. Empowering men with style. I appreciate you for taking time out to have this convo with me! 

Well, after a much needed unplug, we’re back and this conversation gets personal. Did you know the month of June is men’s health month? Neither did I! So to end it the right way, I’m joined by my guys Chris Avery and Spec! to discuss something near and dear to my heart. Male mental health. As time has passed and I look on my own journey it’s imperative that we talk about this. We touch on everything from the culture surrounding male mental health, the benefits of having these uncomfortable conversations, and changing the narrative. Please listen with an open heart and mind. And share this with everyone that needs to hear this. My hope is that everyone that sees this makes it a priority to make sure that you’re OK and check on the ones you love.

Yes family we back again! This time I’m joined by my guy Dre from the BBQ Talk Podcast and my boy Supa Dre, host of the Supa Dre Podcast.

We discuss how important it is, the elements of the process, and finally understanding your “WHY”.  Another great one in the books.  Family tap in! I hope you enjoy.

So sit back, relax, grab a snack and enjoy! Or For my audio listeners play this where are you at the job you don’t like! He may just give you the push to make something happen.

What’s up family!  We back again with another episode and yes it’s an intimate one. After receiving a few testimonies I knew I had to give y’all another one. In this episode, I speak on this major cheat code I learned that has changed everything I do. This one concept allows me to manage my emotions, make clearer more fleshed out decisions and operate at an optimal level. This concept is called “it is what it is”. You know how I do with these. We keep it short and sweet. Learn it! Apply it! Begin living a more peaceful life.

What’s good family?! It’s been a minute since I chatted with you all directly. Usually I’m on here with a guest and they’re dropping gems. But I thought it was time to switch it up a bit, make things a little more intimate,  and just give you some insight on few of the things that I’ve been thinking about lately. These conversations definitely allowed me to see different areas of my life, that I need to improve on. I’ve become more thoughtful, more calculated, more intentional and I would honestly say more understanding and caring. I thought I would share one idea with you that has really impacted my life. TAKE THE SHOT!! Three simple words that are so powerful. I want to discuss the power of adopting those words to your mindset and how “dangerous” of a person you become when you don’t leave anything on the table. When you step outside of your comfort zone for the things, dreams, and goals that you want. And how sometimes the blessings that you’ve been praying for are right on the other side of you taking that shot. I keep it short and sweet on this one!  So let’s get into it!

What’s up y’all! And just like that! We’re  back and this one, WE GET DEEP. In this episode, I’d like y’all to meet a good friend of mine and very talented artist Rashad Thomas (@yafavoritenigga). Better yet let’s use his artistry name, Damiere. Now don’t let the IG name fool you. Even though that’s a pretty bold statement to make, my guy hasn’t always been that confident. Having the raw talent to rap has been a gift of his for as long as I can remember but the confidence to get on stage or on tracks, not so much. We speak about his growth and how transparency not only gave him the confidence to step into his dream but ultimately improved every other part of his life. Also how he found therapy in an unexpected place. The visuals aren’t exactly how I wanted but THIS ONE IS TOO POWERFUL! I couldn’t keep it from y’all. So get ready! LETS GO!!!!
