- How Travis Lloyd was raised in foster care and now public speaks professionally to make a difference in the system! | EP 11On today's episode, I am happy to bring my homie Travis Lloyd on to share his story. Travis is a mental health professional, public speaker, foster care expert, hip-hop artist, Author, and mentor. Travis grew up in and out of foster care, group homes, and was even institutionalized at one point. Growing up in and out of the system, he was often told that he would be dead or in jail before he was 18 and able to graduate High School. He had very little support to push and drive him to succeed in life, but - creatively, Travis created his own lane of success. Not only did Travis graduate high school, but he went on to graduate college with a bachelor in science.Through a series of events, Travis has made it his personal goal to empower young people, the adults in their lives, and the professionals who work with them to reach their full potential. He now travels all over the world speaking and even sharing his poetry and raps that he wrote as a coping mechanism when he was going through the struggle. There is a lot to learn here in this conversation, Travis and I go back several years and before I moved to LA, I would fly all over the country with him to shoot and create content at these events. I’m proud of this dude and believe he has A LOT to offer. I hope you enjoy our conversation.Support our show:http://www.bwnc.com/podcasthttp://www.bwnc.com/joinhttp://www.instagram.com/blackwithnocreamhttp://www.shopbwnc.comWeekly Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hfi5LvHow To Charge a Client Guide: https://bit.ly/30WNSFn1 hr 46 min

Andrew is one of the main reasons I have any success in Los Angeles and has been a dude I've literally been with day in and day out since I moved to LA, putting me on since I got here.

In this Podcast, Andrew talks about growing up as a childhood actor and his early interest in film, how he started his own production company in college, and how networking landed him his first big producing gig for Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj.

- How rapper Cal Scruby went from living on a farm to making songs with Chris Brown | EP 07My seventh guest on the Black With No Cream Podcast is Cal Scruby which is actually really tight for me as he is my first musical guest. Cal is a rapper/songwriter originally from Columbus, Ohio and is now living in Los Angeles, California. His story is sick. He has had millions and millions of plays on all of his songs and videos including his biggest record to date, titled Ain’t Shit Change featuring Chris Brown (which I actually edited the music video and shot the drone footage swag). But nothing has come easy for Cal and he’s still working day and night to achieve his goals. In this interview, we talk about how Cal grew up on a farm listening to rap, how in college he decided to give up being an Engineering major to focusing on music, how he was able to get the state of Ohio to fuck with him on a big level, and he even shares a story about one of the lowest points in his life when he had considered giving up on rap, but by chance was given the golden ticket which took him from rapping for fun in Ohio to landing in a studio session in LA with Chris Brown and Drake like wtf? Life can change in the blink of the eye and Cal is a clear example of that. I’m proud of Cal. We both moved to LA around the same time which is when we became friends and have been grinding since. I'm excited for you to hear all of this and more, on the BWNC podcast today.Support our show:http://www.bwnc.com/podcasthttp://www.bwnc.com/joinhttp://www.instagram.com/blackwithnocreamhttp://www.shopbwnc.comWeekly Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hfi5LvHow To Charge a Client Guide: https://bit.ly/30WNSFn1 hr 58 min
- How JR Strickland went from sleeping in his car to winning TWO MTV VMA's | EP 06My sixth guest on the Black With No Cream Podcast is JR Strickland! JR is one of the most talented VFX/Editor/Director's I know. His credits range from Nicki Minaj, Big Sean, Logic, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, Spotify, and many more. When I had just moved to Los Angeles, JR was one of my first friends and we worked closely on several major projects together, so I am excited to finally share his story! We talk about how JR was using Premiere when he was SIX years old (shout out to his pops), how he was rejected in college of an opportunity to create a short film and spend a semester in LA which forced him to be self-taught while in Chicago. He then moved to LA to work with some of the biggest names in the music business and started his own VFX company. This story is super incredible.Support our show:http://www.bwnc.com/podcasthttp://www.bwnc.com/joinhttp://www.instagram.com/blackwithnocreamhttp://www.shopbwnc.comWeekly Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hfi5LvHow To Charge a Client Guide: https://bit.ly/30WNSFn2 hr 4 min
