In this episode, we break down the legendary Colombia trip with the crew, the good, the wild, and the unforgettable. From last-minute airport chaos to MVP moments, spicy Airbnb drama, street food adventures, and club nights that blurred into morning, nothing’s off-limits. We talk about the real cost of fun, who packed light (or didn’t pack at all), local culture, language fails, and yes… the women. Plus, hear what we’d change next time, who made the invite list for the next trip, and why this trip was one for the books.

If you’ve ever wondered what really goes down on a guys’ international trip — this is the one to listen to. 🌍🍻💃

In this insightful and personal episode, Reggie takes us on a journey through his life, from growing up and navigating identity, to finding purpose in education and community. He shares the story of how he met the host, what shaped his decision to attend USF, and why he joined Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

As a self-proclaimed “professional student,” Reggie reflects on his academic path, definitions of success, and how relationships, fatherhood, and family values have influenced the man he is today. Finally, he paints a picture of what the world would look like if it were truly lived “the Reggie way.”

I sat down with Carlos, a PhD candidate and professional in higher education, to explore the evolving landscape of career preparation for today’s students. Our conversation focused on the central question: Should students pursue a college degree or consider alternative pathways?

We discussed the value of traditional college degrees, particularly in fields where they remain essential, such as healthcare, education, and engineering. Carlos highlighted the benefits of higher education, including critical thinking development, professional networking, and long-term career mobility.

At the same time, we examined the growing appeal of trade schools, certifications, and skill-based learning. With lower costs, shorter time commitments, and strong job prospects in skilled trades and tech, these alternatives offer compelling options for students seeking faster, more direct entry into the workforce.

Ultimately, we agreed there is no one-size-fits-all answer. The best path depends on a student’s goals, interests, financial situation, and desired industry. Whether degreed or not, success today is increasingly tied to skills, adaptability, and lifelong learning.

Toxic Talk!!!!

In this Toxic Talk conversation, I sits down with two young women to discuss modern relationship dynamics. The conversation dives into key topics including:

• Marriage today – whether it’s still a priority or just a social contract.

• Cheating – if it’s expected in today’s dating culture and how people view loyalty.

• Deal breakers – what instantly ends a relationship for them.

• Body count – whether someone’s sexual history should matter.

• Settling down early – if women should prioritize marriage young or focus on personal growth first.

The talk is raw, honest, and reflective of how many young adults view love and commitment in today’s world.

Sit down with Sam and discuss how our biggest examples come from our experiences. Rough patches can be characterized by challenges, setbacks, or problems that disrupt the usual course of life and sometimes make us smarter.

It's true that our experiences, both positive and negative, often provide the most impactful and memorable examples that shape our understanding of the world and guide our actions
