The R.A.N.T. Podcast

Cesar and Jono are two of the most positive guys around! But sometimes that inner hater loves to come out and play. In this homage to an old an comedy skit, we focus our attention on the things that piss us all off! Let's talk about it as we embrace the hater from within. 

It's not often we meet people whose lives seem to be based more in fiction than reality. But with the arrival of his new cellmate, Jono uncovers more than he bargained for as he learns more about this strange man with the eerie past.

Sometimes people will scold you for welcoming change into your life. These haters range from family members, to friends, to coworkers, etc. The expectation is that you'll always be the same person you were. Frankly, we think that's BS! How can one get better while staying the same? Welcome to another episode of The RANT Podcast as we discuss this classic question: "Yo, why you actin' different?"

Today, the RANT team dissects a phenomenon that many pundits have been harping on since the pandemic started. A phenomenon that is visible, yet it is not quite understood. We are referring to the very real shift in attitude towards employment. Job loyalty, and the way that people view their relationship with employers has changed. What led to this and how deep does this issue go? Are people burned out, unsatisfied, or not valued? Lets talk about it!

In today's episode, we discuss the issue of recidivism. Over 70 percent of people that get released from prison end up re-offending within 5 years of being released. This staggering statistic is worth discussing. Is this the case in other countries or is this problem unique to the United States? Is the goal to rehabilitate these individuals or to ensure that they come back? We take a close look at this problem and use the R.A.N.T. team's lived experience to understand how complex this problem really is.

We've all had those moments when we feel inadequate. When we feel like we don't belong, regardless of the work and preparation that went into it all. In this episode we address something that effects most of us; the imposter syndrome. The RANT team discusses their own feelings of inadequacy and how those lived experiences have shaped us. Cesar and Jono offer a solution to a problem that has plagued most of us. Join us and enjoy!

In honor of International Women's Day, Cesar and Jono welcome Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, Kendra. Kendra has over a decade of experience in the field of mental health, especially when is comes to individuals that are dealing with substance abuse. In this episode, Kendra helps the RANT Team break down the complexities behind trauma, therapy, coping mechanisms, and stigmas surrounding mental health. 

Season Two will now commence! In the first episode of season two, your favorite tag team returns with a succinct conversation on the art of recalibration. Cesar and Jono take a deep dive on the concept of regularly stepping back and evaluating your mission, goals, and life. Join the team as they return from a healthy and productive hiatus.

Uncharted waters are rife with potential. In the case of business, grappling with the unknown is lucrative; the capacity for success, in some cases, is unfathomable. In this episode of R.A.N.T., we discuss one aspect of business that is forgotten, neglected, and often not considered at all: spirituality. Some question its relevance to business while others consider it a cornerstone of their success. Join the R.A.N.T. crew and returning special guest (from Episode 15), Miss Felicia Leatherwood, as they discuss spirituality's role in business.

"Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live." Is physical health relevant to entrepreneurship? In this episode, we discuss the relationship between your body and your aspirations. Your future is determined by the choices you make today. So remember, "if you think lifting is dangerous, try being weak."
