Episode 100!!, I was fortunate to have a great conversation with super Creative Will Banks. A proud Memphis native with so many slashes he could be a one man artistic agency. Banks and i spoke about his effortless individualism, and how that has translated into his work, staying true in moments where doubt succumbs and Will gives his classically trained opinion of the self proclaimed King of R&B...

This week is a special episode, its the end of the year and its time to pickup better habits, specifically men's grooming habits.

This week I have a Georgia native now a Chicago transplant, Donte Thrasher. He is a young educator teaching at a charter school on the Southside.
