On this episode of Truthpaste I get into a strange story out of Woodside, California where the residents wanted to stop duplexes from being built. So they claimed the area a mountain lion habitat to stop the builds. Sounds like a creative way to redline folks.

Also, we're unfortunately back in Minnesota talking about "no-knock" warrants and the resulting death of Amir Locke. I share my own story of when I was 11 years old on the couch when the SWAT team came to my home.

I recently became a homeowner, and it wouldn't have become possible without the help of Movement Mortgage loan officer Sondra Manjau. What probably felt like a two month process working with me to get myself ready to buy, but this process was a year long for me.  Listen to the story of how I went from losing my job weeks before moving into a home, how I leveraged that into a home purchase, and how that purchase plays into financial plans of my family later on. 

Ultimately, I want the take away to be that it's possible, even in a crazy market like Seattle, Washington.  #Truthpaste, brush up!

Long story short: I've been gone dealing with a few things, so I thought I'd spend an hour and some change talking about what I've been doing the past two years away from the podcast.

2019 is off to a hot ass start with this Surviving R. Kelly series my goodness! I wasn't sure if this was a topic that I should have dived into, but man if that documentary didn't have me on the edge of my seat. I'm gonna talk about what it was like for me watching it, and my thoughts about what's gonna happy to Nasty Rob moving forward. #BrushUp
