Thanks for tuning in and enjoy.

There is still a lot going on today.  It seems like each day some things are changing, but yet,  things still remaining the same.  During this pandemic era, because we are going to be dealing with this for a while now, we have time to make changes.  With these changes, we can now reflect on somethings that we can strive to make better, to understand what we are dealing with in life.  On this episode, I wanted to put out a message that we cannot drop the baton as we are living life.  A lot of people have made tremendous sacrifices for us to live the life that we are now living.  We cannot forget about this and also we have to make sure that we are handling and passing the baton to future generations as well.  We have not made it, we still have work to do.  Resident guest, Gary Combs, checked into the show for this discussion.  Let's continue to make progress and keep on marching.  Thanks for tuning in. until next time. 

We are witnessing changes during these pandemic times.  Some of these things that we put off, are now right in front of us.  What's the next move or idea, coming from? What can we do to change things currently? How active can we be? These are some of the challenges that we are facing.  With the NBA playoffs starting up, the political race, the unemployment, the pandemic crisis and the country reopening,  we all have some sort of concern.   Every system can be fine tuned.  On the latest episode, "Never too late to change the system, "  resident guests Cornel Archer and Dave Perkins came through to discuss some of these topics.  Thanks for tuning in and enjoy.

On this episode, I got in touch with my friend Zahir Imhotep Wahid.  This young man I've seen grow over the years and he always was focused on our community.  With some of the issues that we are seeing and experiencing today, it was only right that I would bring on Zahir for a podcast.  We will discuss some topics concerning our communities during this pandemic and also promote Zahir's up coming event on August 30, 2020,  Los Angeles, California (Leimert Park Village), "For The Culture."  Thanks for tuning in and enjoy.  

Damn...WTF is going on with the pandemic, the testing, social justice reform, the systemic racial policies or society, the re-opening, closing, or is this the new normal standard of life? What's going on with the schools, universities, the NCAA, the NBA, MLB, Soccer or Futbol? WTF, definitely describes our current situation. We are in a mess right now! Resident guests, Cornel Archer and Dave Perkins, came on the podcast to discuss some of these situations that we are currently in.  Thanks for tuning in and enjoy. 

We are still social distancing ourselves with the pandemic still continuing to spread throughout our country and the entire world.  On this episode (#33), of The B-Side Podcast, I sat down with a good friend of mine, Burnzlo, who is a business owner (Harris Fire Protection), rapper (Burnzlo) and a comedian.  I've known Burnzlo, for like over 20 years, and he has always been an independent, entrepreneur, beat maker, rhymer, athletic, hip hop head.  With all that's going on in our world today, I sat down with Burnzlo, to see his perspective on some of the issues that surround us today.  It's always nice to have some conversations with good friends.  Thanks for tuning in and enjoy. 

This episode is the first installment of our "Cousins," episodes.  I have a lot of them but they are all interesting people and characters (no disrespect) but it's the truth.  We keep it all the way live on The B-Side Podcast, even with family, especially family.  With this installment, had to hit up my cousin Aaron Matthews.  This guy has always been funny, I mean always! However, there is a serious side to him that I had to connect with during this pandemic and some of all this other crazy stuff going on in society today.  We hail from Ohio, so I had to get some Buckeye perspective.  Thanks for tuning in and enjoy listening. 

On this episode of , "Let's Rewind The Tape, " featuring Gary Combs, we discussed some topics associated with Juneteenth, 2020.   Being that Gary is a Dallas, Texas native.  I wanted to get his input on the meaning and some dynamics concerning Juneteenth.  Now, we all know about the Independence Day of July 4, 1776, however, as for Juneteenth, aka Juneteenth Independence Day aka Freedom Day, June 19, 1865, should be recognized as well.  It is American History! Thanks for tuning in and enjoy listening. 

I caught up with a childhood friend, Andre Crockwell (Barber, Music Artist, Entrepreneur), about some of the social issues that are going on within our communities.  Sometimes, things change while others remain the same.  I think that we have the marching down, but after the marching, the challenges of plotting, planning, strategizing, organizing and mobilizing falls short with our agenda.  What's next on the agenda?  I haven't talked to Andre in months, but we just picked up on some of the challenges that are ahead of us during this pandemic and social unrest.  Thanks for tuning in and enjoy. 

On this episode, I sat down with Mr. Blakhair himself, Geoff Betts (Mr. Blakhair/blakhair.com/distributor).  We discussed issues concerning the hair care industry.  African Americans have a tremendous spending power, over $1 Trillion annually, and there is a lot of money left out there in the hair industry that African Americans should be able to capitalize from.  I had to get Geoff Betts on the show to find out what's going on within the industry and also how can African Americans position themselves within the market.  Thanks for tuning in and enjoy.
