Year Eight greets me as a parent with a new perspective into coaching females, being a Girl Dad brings a softer side to my coaching! I am back once again coaching volleyball and through our losses I realized what I need to prepare my daughter for! Year Eight now in November, consists of a couple waltrip students past and present deceased! I would like to dedicate Year Eight to Niguel Monroe Hayward a graduate of 2017 who helped me get my podcast a thousand plus views! From that podcast, I realized that opportunities are birth from your persistence! I forgot to play Good (Live Your Life) from Christina Denae “These Days (Life Love and Lessons).” She has the best independent project in Houston, Texas in the last 5 years! This episode is dedicated to my daughter Harper Avery Ross Dike, I love you and my son John Ross Dike II bka Baby D, I love you, rest in paradise/Heaven; when I see you again I would have served my purpose! Sit back, relax and enjoy Episode 137 of the Whats Next!? podcast a production of Still Visionary, Inc.

Peace and Blessings!!

The bible says "Study to show thyself approved" 2 Timothy 2:15. In lieu of 2 Timothy, my podcast is a mixture of The Joe Budden Podcast, Tax Season, Drink Champs, Million Dollars Worth of Game and My Expert Opinion! This episode is all about Christina Denae's EP entitled These Days (Life Love and Lessons)! It took a year to get this podcast done; so while I was editing the episode I wanted to shorten it for your viewing pleasure but thought "give them the whole episode" after all it has been a year! It's important to allow the creative space to articulate what the driving force was behind creating their life's worth! When I first saw Christina Denae, I knew I wanted to podcast with her for a couple reasons one being the record she performed 'Let Me Down' was a banger and two the crowd she brought knew all the words to her songs! HOUSTON just a side bar this is a music episode! Check 'Just Friends' (20:25), 'Walk Away' (34:56), 'Let Me Down' (44:28), her new single 'Woman" (59:20), I purposely wanted you all to hear this body of work the way I heard it! Christina Denae is honest and transparent about (These Days Life Love and Lessons)! DOWNLOAD HER ALBUM AND SHARE IT NOW!! This episode is dedicated to my daughter Harper Avery Ross Dike, I love you and my son John Ross Dike II bka Baby D, I love you, rest in paradise/Heaven; when I see you again I would have served my purpose! Sit back, relax and enjoy Episode 136 of the Whats Next!? podcast a production of Still Visionary, Inc.

Peace and Blessings!!

My seventh year in the classroom came to an end at Sam Houston High School this year. I have heard people say that the grass is greener on the other side; I realized that that isn't true. Sam Houston was cool and interactions with some student reminded of how dope of an educator I am and also how good I have it at Waltrip! In the seventh year of my career, I say that understanding that all my creative ventures have a 50/50 chance of coming to reality; I had my second child, the class of 2025 won district in basketball, I had 16 students get mastery on the Math STAAR exam and I realized that maybe I am a career educator! I learned Loyalty this year, I learned structure, I learned repetition! Aside from being a Husband, Father, educator and coach; I want to get back in shape and thanks to the Golden State Warriors I will back in front of the lens soon! This episode is dedicated to my daughter Harper Avery Ross Dike, I love you and my son John Ross Dike II bka Baby D, I love you, rest in paradise/Heaven; when I see you again I would have served my purpose! Sit back, relax and enjoy Episode 135 of the Whats Next!? podcast a production of Still Visionary, Inc.

When something doesn’t seem right, sometimes your have to step away and re-strategize! If you’ve followed me through this journey you know when I got married I was podcasting! When Baby D was born, I was podcasting! When I laid Baby D to rest I was podcasting! The last time I dropped an episode there were 75 days left; now with 3 days left I wanted to end 2021 the same way I began PODCASTING! I want to thank Ashley Pellerin for the jewel of investing in myself and taking a chance with Patreon! This episode is dedicated to my son! I love you John Ross Dike II bka Baby D rest in paradise/Heaven; when I see you again I would have served my purpose and Sit back, relax and enjoy Episode 129 of the Whats Next!? podcast a production of Still Visionary, Inc.

I want to thank my director Contrina Jala Jenkins and the author of Black Lives Matter Ashley "Neotorize" Young for editing my poem. I want to thank Patrick Davis for choosing me, Phil Adesulu of JPR Styling for the suit, Wayne Willis of Well Groomed Man for the Bowtie and Still Visionary Inc. for the accessories (1:47)!

With 75 days left (29:18), I want see my way to 3 maybe 4 thousand dollars! This episode is dedicated to my son!
