In Episode 9 of Every Day a Better You, Flip and Boo sit down with Omar — a media entrepreneur, real estate professional, and financial leader who embodies the word hustle.

Born in Puerto Rico and raised in the Bronx, Omar shares his journey of grinding through setbacks, building businesses, and creating opportunities where there were none. From banks to trading floors, to launching a media company, Omar’s story is about representation, resilience, and the power of believing in yourself when nobody else does.

We also dive into the importance of seeing role models who look like us — and how representation fuels belief for the next generation. Omar keeps it humble, credits his team, and reminds us that hustle is more than just working hard — it’s about vision, discipline, and never stopping.

He talks about why functional strength matters, how to train the right way, and why he gives all the credit to his team and community instead of himself.

This isn’t just about fitness — it’s about grit, humility, and finding the people who help you get it right.

In Episode 7 of Every Day a Better You, Flip and Boo open up about their childhood relationship with food—and how nutrition just wasn’t part of the conversation growing up.

When you’re raised in survival mode, your meals are whatever’s cheap, quick, and available—corner stores, canned goods, processed food. Health wasn’t a focus. Hunger was.

In this episode, we reflect on how we started learning about food, fitness, and fueling our bodies later in life—and how that shift changed everything. From cutting back on sugar to prioritizing protein, from water over soda to helping our kids build better habits than we had…

This episode is about reclaiming our health, unlearning what we were taught, and making choices that match the life we’re building.

In Episode 6 of Every Day a Better You, Farid (“Flip”) and Henri “Boo” talk about what they didn’t learn growing up: how to manage money.Raised in environments where it was all about making it to the next day, conversations about saving, credit, investing, or building wealth were non-existent. We weren’t taught how to manage money—we were taught how to survive without it.We break down the financial lessons we wish we had earlier, the mistakes we’ve made, and how we’re teaching our kids and communities differently now.This one’s real, honest, and needed—because generational wealth starts with breaking generational silence.Real stories.

In this episode of Every Day a Better You, Farid (“Flip”) and Henri “Boo” dive into the often-destructive power of perception.

Whether it was being seen as the “bad kid,” “the angry Black man,” or “the one who’ll never make it”—we’ve both carried labels that didn’t match our truth.

We unpack how the world saw us growing up versus who we really were inside. We talk about the teachers, cops, even family members who judged us based on where we came from or how we looked, and how those false narratives almost became real.

Most importantly, we break down how we pushed past those labels—and how we now make sure not to place them on the next generation.

Real stories. Real results. This is Every Day a Better You.

In Episode 4 of Every Day a Better You, Farid (“Flip”) and Henri (“Boo”) talk about one of the hardest lessons to learn: sometimes the people closest to you are the ones who doubt you the most.

From childhood friends who laughed at our goals, to family members who told us to “be realistic,” we break down what it feels like when your dreams aren’t supported—and how we used that negativity to fuel our progress.

This episode is about self-belief, inner fire, and the art of turning criticism into clarity. Whether you’re building something from nothing or trying to shake off old labels, this conversation will hit home.

In this episode of Every Day a Better You, Farid (“Flip”) and Henri ("Boo") reflect on the youth programs that changed their lives. From basketball courts to rec centers and afterschool programs, these places were more than just somewhere to be—they were sanctuaries that kept them safe, focused, and motivated.The people who ran these programs—often neighbors who cared—became role models, teaching discipline, teamwork, and hope when it was hard to find.We talk about how these experiences shaped us into the leaders we are today, and why creating safe spaces for kids is one of the most powerful tools we have to enhance our communities.
