In this one, Coach Lawson peels back the curtain on a different kind of truth — the generational pattern of systems, institutions, and organizations wanting everything Black folks create, but nothing that honors where it comes from. They’ll take our work, our culture, our intellectual fire, our grind, and our brilliance… but they don’t want our names on the blueprint.

This episode speaks to the exhaustion of being depended on but not valued, praised in private but ignored in public. Coach touches on workplaces that use you as the engine but never put you in the driver’s seat. He talks about reclaiming space, building our own tables, and protecting the legacy our ancestors bled for.

Powerful, unfiltered, and rooted in truth — this episode reminds listeners that legacy is not what they give you… it’s what you choose to build, protect, and pass on.
