Whats Next!? Podcast

There are not many people that match your hustle. I use that statement in reference to Helen Hadnot- Williams aka Mz Blue because if there were a female me it would be her! She's always grinding, always promoting but most importantly she's always supporting. It's a pleasure to have her back on the podcast and we sit and talk about her radio show and her hit single "Go Off". I chose to do this podcast in The White Room so see if I could connect two emcees together. We talk about the change in her Social Media handles, making 2020 a better year, her new direction and Whats Next!? for Mz Blue. This episode is also dedicated to my son! I love you John Ross Dike II bka Baby D rest in paradise/Heaven! Sit back, relax and enjoy Episode 37 of the Whats Next!? podcast a production of Still Visionary, Inc.

Do me a favor, visit http://www.stillvisionary.com/apparel and grab some merch from my company. Everything I wear is produced by me! I don't have much for you all this episode. I'll do what I need to do to remain consistent that means getting my projects together to talk about them with you when I do the podcasts by myself. The immediate thing thats next for me is BEING A BETTER HUSBAND. I have to admit I'm not the best because as a creative I'm always focused on what I need to do to get better. Truth is my wife has given me everything a man could want and more! My Father always said a word is enough for the wise. I love you Kiz! Everything I do is no longer for me. I do it for the one person that will never benefit. I do it for my son! I love YOU NOW and FOREVER John Ross Dike II bka "Baby D"!! Rest In Paradise my boy! When I see YOU again, I would have served my purpose! Its to YOU I dedicate Episode 36 to YOU! YOU graced your mother and my's life for 36 blessed days.

We get off into her love for photography and find out that it started out as a hobby! Julie states that her biggest support and the first person she shot a picture of was her husband Oscar White. He bought her her first Canon camera for her Christmas gift; she then went on to shoot upcoming rappers (@beeisthefuture & @bongiethayungn). We talk about Her influences (@88.shotz, @gregnoire)and the fact of her wanting to specialize in artist profiles. This episode is also dedicated to my son!

Salutations, I'm back with another episode. I have my editor Tempestt Green is back to update us with what she's got going on! I mention the term CONSISTENCY and it has become the fabric of my podcast. The fabric of my creativity! Can I make it to see another episode to continue dropping. We discuss tempesttlives.com (9:23) & (14:34) and it being the one thing that she is doing for herself. A part of Tempestt being my editor like I said in Resiliency (Episode 23) is that she is there to redirect my projects. We discuss the idea of team building and how necessary a team is to building a brand! This episode is also dedicated to my son! I love you John Ross Dike II bka Baby D rest in paradise/Heaven! Sit back, relax and enjoy Episode 34 of the Whats Next!? podcast a production of Still Visionary, Inc.

Collegiate athlete, Pageant winner and now published author. H.B. Pierre Simon Jr. more frequently referred to as Pierre Simon is a dude I knew in college from days of playing intramural in the recreation center! The part that i didn't know is that over the course of 10 years, he was writing a book. He said "I wrote a book for 10 years." I was honored to sit across from this creative and relish in his accomplishments. Creativity though abstract is a fun thing to try once you have your direction. Pierre stated that he didn't write a word without inspiration and that his travels from 2007 until helped cultivate his experiences. We talk the reason for writing the book, when he decided to publish it and his end goals. He describes the purpose of naming the book The flight of the phoenix and imparts advise to inspiring authors. We also find out that there will be a book 2 and 3. This episode is also dedicated to my son! I love you John Ross Dike II bka Baby D rest in paradise/Heaven!

I’ve been back in the city for a while! Truthfully I only spent a couple days in LA and it really wasn’t work it was me enjoying what I aspire to do in life! Simply put I want to make money through Still Visionary, Inc. This episode was recorded in The White Room at LFTP studios... “The Pentagon.” Let me start out by saying that Edric and I will be connected for life and after as well and now Three and I share that same bond! Edric is a Lodge brother of mine! We are active members of Kings of Israel #19 AF & AM (5:30). He made it a point to consistently reference his childhood brother who was the emcee in their crew. I listened to Three and became of fan not only because of the talent but because of constant reminder of his skill level! We talk about Three’s inception! He attributes everything to Sunnyside, TX. He attributes his skill to the Southside legend Lil KeKe, Jay Z, Nas and a few others. The strongest part of their bond is the non yes man role that Edric plays. Three doesn't hesitate to state that Edric was there helping him every step of the way! He credits Edric for the constant push. I would have been remised not to mention that I have been a fan of Three's for a while that in August I texted him to congratulate him on CREATING LFTP studios and he politely states that he couldn't have completed the studio without the help of Edric. Three explains difference between a Boss and a Leader (1:12:00)! It feels good to be back in Houston for another episode. This episode is also dedicated to my son! I love you John Ross Dike II bka Baby D rest in paradise/Heaven! Sit back, relax and enjoy Episode 32 of the Whats Next!? podcast a production of Still Visionary, Inc.

I took my podcast to the entertainment capital of the world. I took my podcast to Los Angeles "L.A." I want that to sit for a minute and soak in. My podcast has no MAJOR sponsors yet, it's independent; it's self produced, black owned and its the number one podcast in the city of Houston! I took it to L.A. and I linked up with FOUR AFRICAN AMERICAN women who are nothing short of amazing. This episode is the fourth podcast of the four that I will drop from my L.A. run! Circa 2014, I had completed my first independent. I had done the stage play four times and when it came time to level up a young women auditioned and got the lead role. Her name is Ruby Lee Dove II. I remember telling her its your time and that she's in that position for a reason! She went on to get an agent and move to LA. She sites that the move to LA was due to the fact of stagnation! She sites that you have to come to LA as an actor and not an aspiring actor! If you cant get the role create it (24:30). We talk about her 1944 project (26:11) under her production company Life After Life. The project was about the wrongful death of an African American kid named George Stinney Jr. by electric chair (27:10) in 1944! She talks about the time spent writing 1944, the amount of drafts written for 1944 and finally the perception of 1944 when it premiered! We look at the very first project she booked when she moved to LA and Ruby gives a bit of advice to young women of color who may follow her foot steps! This is the last episode from my LA run. The knowledge and conversations i had with these four African American women is indescribable. All I can say is thank you for your time! Again I am so appreciative of Ajia and the extended arm she gave me with the previous three podcasts. This episode is also dedicated to my son! I love you John Ross Dike II bka Baby D rest in paradise/Heaven! Sit back, relax and enjoy Episode 31 of the Whats Next!? Podcast a production of Still Visionary, Inc.

I took it to L.A. and I linked up with FOUR AFRICAN AMERICAN women who are nothing short of amazing. This episode is the third podcast of the four that I will drop from my L.A. run! In this episode I sat with JaNae Thomas of Glamorous Drinks and we chop it up about her journey! One thing that I have to point out is that JaNae mentions in the interview that she's not the type of person who knows what she's gonna do next! She sites listening to God and seizing the moment as to how she came up with Glamorous Drinks. I enjoyed the honesty in JaNae's conversation because with being a creative your journey can be abstract at times. She sites the current general manager at Pappasitos Paul Vaughn and Jr Martins and key contributors to her growth in bartending and customer service and upscale hustling inside the club on bottle services. Again I am so appreciative of Ajia Munns and the extended arm she gave me with not only this podcast but episodes 28 and 29 as well. This episode is also dedicated to my son! I love you John Ross Dike II bka Baby D rest in paradise/Heaven! Sit back, relax and enjoy Episode 30 of the Whats Next!? Podcast a production of Still Visionary, Inc.

My podcast has no MAJOR sponsors yet, it's independent; it's self produced, black owned and its the number one podcast in the city of Houston! I took it to L.A. and I linked up with FOUR AFRICAN AMERICAN women who are nothing sort of amazing. This episode is the second podcast of the four that I will drop from my L.A. run! This week I with another Texas Girl who unlike Ajia Munns from Episode 28: L.A. Inspired (Creativity), is a Writer and was a fellow educator like myself. She states that although she had a high paying job and the group of kids that would prove to be great scholars she wasn't fulfilled! She sites that attending a church different from her family church became her inspiration to move to L.A. so she gave everything away and set out for what Ajia called 'The Lonely City'. During this L.A. run the commonality of these episodes is that they are all from TX and moved for a better opportunity! We find out that Kalaiah is a poet and that she no longer claims to be just a screen writer! She now prescribe top being open to everything! She credits DeVon Franklin with "Provision is God's confirmation you're doing the right thing" Again I am so appreciative of Ajia and the extended arm she gave me with not only this podcast but episode 30 as well. This episode is also dedicated to my son! I love you John Ross Dike II bka Baby D rest in paradise/Heaven! Sit back, relax and enjoy Episode 29 of the Whats Next!?

I took it to L.A. and I linked up with FOUR AFRICAN AMERICAN women who are nothing sort of amazing. This episode is the first podcast of the next four that I will drop in L.A.; so its like your first child going off to college parents. (Rest in Peace to my boy BABY D!) My first stop in Tinseltown was to a college friend. Ajia and I were psych majors at the University of Houston. The gems that Ajia gave on this episode were priceless! Gems such as the best advice that she got as an actress was to keep acting or If you want to act you Must act in stage plays, theater or college films! Which doesn’t strictly pertain to living in LA! She broke LA down into three things 1) the Culture of LA which would be that everyone has a relative who knows someone in the film industry whether it be directly or indirectly! She mentioned that film as well as the up incoming actor feeds the city of L.A. 2) the Fantasy of LA meaning it’s not as glamorous as people would think and the tourist spots become watered down as you as the Actor begins to deal with the grind of LA and 3) the Basic survival of LA in it being a dog eat dog mentality! She refers to LA as the Lonely City and her advice to those embarking on an acting career is to get your head shots, get a reel for to the film schools on college campuses and be in the student films and market online! We talk about her podcast Stories & Poems Podcast on SoundCloud and Apple Podcast. A fact I was reminded of was that’s the opportunity is far greater in LA! She tells me what brought her out to LA and states that she’s out there for a reason and LA isn’t home! I’m so appreciative of Ajia and the extended arm she gave me with not only this podcast but episode 29 and 30. This episode is also dedicated to my son! I love you John Ross Dike II bka Baby D rest in paradise! Sit back, relax and enjoy Episode 28 of the Whats Next!? Podcast a production of Still Visionary, Inc.
