You Better Hear Me

Join me for a discussion with Eric Campbell, the man behind some of the music for several television shows and commercials. Eric shares how he persevered through years of learning, personal tragedies and missteps before finding his groove in the business. 

Wrapping up our conversation about our first cross country trip and the importance of planning. We also talk about that trip from Daytona. The road will humble you. 

In this continuation of the story of the Kingdom Knight's first cross country trip and how important personalities are for a successful trip. 

I am a proud biker (motorcycle) and the love I have for the lifestyle is strong. While I am in the season of not riding as much as I like, mothering Little Chick is more important, I STILL LOVE it so. I am blessed to be a part of terrific group - more like family - the Kingdom Knights Motorcycle Ministry. In this episode, I talk to Lydell "Hustleman" Hagans Sr. and Jacques "Moose" Wilson. We talk about our love for biking, our road names and the difference between a motorcycle club and a motorcycle ministry.   

Statistic show that about 75 percent of all suicides are men. That should concern you. Men are more likely to hide or not address mental health issues due to some misguided notion that it would be weak to admit to needing help. So not true. Hear how Angelo D. Jones II came to grips with his need to take care of his mental health and he share some signs that you or the man in your life could use some help managing their mental health issue. 

Join me as I take a few minutes to talk about Mental Health Awareness Month and some upcoming episodes. 

Hear how Mike Hill beat cancer and started the DAWG Culture to encourage others that they can overcome and be what they think. He shares how his drive to live and his passion to help others is fueled by a determined, never-quit attitude. 

You will be inspired and awe-struck by Mike Hill's story. This life-long athlete has fought more than just the battle in the mind needed to be a top-performing athlete. He has waged war against the very vehicle needed to get him there, his body. Hear how this determined man beat Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma with Desire Attitude Will and Grind and how he lives each day encouraging and uplifting others. 

Race relations continue to be a hot topic in this country, and it is only fueled by stories of black people dying at the hands of white police officers. In the 1960s, people protested to show their support for civil rights and the need for change. Today, people are still turning to protests for the exact same thing. It appears that more people need to realize Black Lives Matter. Canyon Hunt knows this is true. Hear why and how he shows his support for a movement that is far from over.     

Conversations around race relations have ebbed and flowed in our country for decades. They bubble up to the surface as the pressure gets to be too much, and they blow when there is injustice, brutality and senseless violent acts that sometimes try to hide behind a badge. In this episode, I wanted to share a conversation I had with my 21-year-old Goddaughter Tyla Holoman because it gave me hope that not all young people are mesmerized by photo filters and social media trappings. There are some young people who believe they have a role in much-needed change in our society. Listen to Tyla's thoughts on race and why defunding the police is a good thing. You Better Hear that change needs to come. 

*Note: This episode was recorded in Jan. 2021 before the Derek Chauvin trial and the protest in Minnesota after another young black man was killed by a police officer.
