August 25, 2025 Final NFL Cuts & The Shedeur and Shilo Skinny | EP 045
Ask a question for the show
In this episode, we break down the chaos and storylines from the NFL preseason finale.
Shilo Sanders made headlines after throwing a punch that led to his ejection in the Browns’ final preseason game. We talk about what really happened, what it means for his NFL future, and how one moment can shift the perception of a player trying to earn a roster spot.
Meanwhile, Shedeur Sanders found himself caught in the middle of late-game politics. With the Browns driving against the Rams, Shedeur was pulled from the final two-minute opportunity—a decision that raises questions about trust, evaluation, and how organizations handle young quarterbacks.
From final cuts to the Sanders brothers’ headlines, this episode dives into the reality of NFL business, politics, and the fine line between opportunity and setback.
If you’re looking for raw insight on what these moves mean now—and down the line—you don’t want to miss this conversation.

August 20, 2025 Finding Purpose & Power Through Adversity w/ Melissa L. Atkinson | Ep 043
Ask a question for the show
On this episode, we tap in with Melissa L. Atkinson. I ran across Melissa on Threads with the simple notion of her wanting to sit on the other side of the table as an interviewee. I checked out her podcast and on the first episode, I had to stop and see what episode I was on. She gave out so much of her life experience in the very first episode I knew this was a person that was perfect to have on the show.
Enjoy this episode as we dive into adversity, finding her passion/purpose, and what music we throw on when we have the aux cord.
Melissa L. Atkinson is a podcast host, content creator, and authentic storyteller who turned her life-changing trauma into triumph. As a multi-platform creator, she reaches 800K monthly views across social media while hosting "Hard Wig, Soft Life," a podcast that has grown to 1000+ downloads since its relaunch 10 weeks ago.
A veteran and former HR professional, Melissa's story includes overcoming homelessness, multiple arrests, and literally splitting her face open in a car accident. Instead of letting these experiences define her, she built a platform where she shares heartbreaking realities while showing growth and resilience - sometimes even laughing at things that once brought her to her knees.
Through her podcast, Melissa creates space for others to share their stories, featuring Emmy nominees like Tracey Baker-Simmons, and Giovonnie Samuels, CEOs, pastors, and entrepreneurs who've turned their pain into power. Her audience connects with her raw honesty about rebuilding life completely while building authentic community.

August 18, 2025 I Just Saw Denzel’s Highest 2 Lowest + Disneyland This Week & Ask Drew | EP 042
Ask a question for the show
In this episode of the podcast, Drew shares a spoiler-free review of Spike Lee and Denzel Washington’s newest movie, Highest 2 Lowest. Hear his first impressions, thoughts on the performances, and why this film is already sparking conversation.
Then Drew shifts gears to talk about his upcoming Disneyland trip—the so-called “most magical place on earth.” But here’s the twist: Drew’s not a huge fan of Disney or the rides. Still, he gives a candid peek into what he’s expecting, from the food to the atmosphere, and why he’s willing to tag along for the experience.
And of course, no episode would be complete without the Ask Drew segment, where listeners send in their questions for real talk and practical advice.
Whether you’re here for the Denzel Washington movie review, curious about Drew’s honest take on Disneyland, or looking for answers in Ask Drew, this episode mixes it all: movies, a little Disney magic (with some skepticism), and meaningful conversation.

Coach Dr. Oliver Lucas was my high school football coach for 3 years at Montbello High School in Denver, Colorado. He instilled wisdom and confidence in each and every one of his players. More importantly, he gifted young men lifelong lessons that we could take and apply to the aspects of our lives. The 4 S's is one of my favorites.
