In this episode, I discuss how I first began thinking about investing and ownership. Not from a place of having money, but from wanting more and realizing there had to be a better way. I share how my mindset around Black ownership evolved over time, how I utilized YouTube to begin learning the basics of investing, and why starting small mattered more than trying to be perfect.

I reflect on working in college, doing manufacturing one summer, and earning commissions at Sprint. I talk about how taxes, withdrawals, and having to pay things back taught me discipline and forced me to save. Those experiences changed how I looked at money and pushed me toward the stock market in a more intentional way. This episode is about learning through experience, starting where you are, and building a foundation instead of chasing quick wins.

In Part 2, I go deeper into how stepping back from sex and relationships at different points in my life changed the way I viewed women, dating, and myself. I talk about periods where I chose not to be involved, not out of fear or lack of options, but because it wasn’t aligned with who I was becoming. That space allowed me to focus on myself, my discipline, and the things that actually mattered. I also speak honestly about intention, being clear whether something is just physical or something more, and recognizing that both men and women are not always honest about what they want. This episode is about self-control, clarity, and choosing growth over impulse.

In Part 1, I talk about the pressure men can feel having to show up in certain ways because of women’s past experiences. I reflect on how the way I move, treat women, and show up has often been different from what they were used to, and how that difference can create new expectations I didn’t ask for. From dating experiences to conversations with friends who questioned how certain situations even happened, I break down how being intentional, respectful, and consistent can sometimes feel like both a blessing and a burden. This episode isn’t about blame. It’s about explaining the reality of navigating expectations you didn’t create, and what it feels like when your character shifts the dynamic.

In this episode, I reflect on a question that hit home: what’s something you’ve been able to do recently that once felt impossible? For me, it’s the discipline and consistency I’ve built with my weight loss this year. I talk about how locking in mentally changed everything and how structure replaced motivation, and consistency became my baseline. This one’s about recognizing growth in real time and understanding that sometimes the biggest wins don’t look flashy, they just feel different.

In this episode, I talk about how getting laid off forced me to slow down, reflect, and realign. That moment made me start leaning into the things I actually enjoy, my food brand, vendor events, and creative hobbies that had been sitting on the back burner. What started as a setback turned into a chance to rebuild on my own terms.

I share how security work became more than a side gig. It opened my mind to new ways of thinking about business, freedom, and ownership. It made me start thinking broader about 1099 work, entrepreneurship, and the power of having multiple lanes that align with who I am. This season taught me that sometimes you lose something so you can create something that’s yours.

I talk about how I’ve been working on structuring everything I do from my tech goals to my food brands in a way that builds long-term stability and independence. This episode is about turning redirection into growth, embracing new lanes, and taking pride in becoming the kind of person who can create opportunities instead of waiting for them.

In this episode, I talk about what it really means to love the alone season. There’s a difference between being alone and being lonely, but even in that space, those small moments of loneliness still hit. I share how I’ve learned to appreciate that season instead of running from it and how being alone helped me dive deeper into myself, expand creatively, and start connecting with people who are aligned with the same wavelength and purpose.

I share my transitions, my growth, and how learning myself has opened doors I never expected. From moments in isolation to working security, I’ve found new outlets and new clarity in who I’m becoming. This one’s about embracing the quiet, trusting the process, and realizing that being alone can be one of the most powerful chapters in your evolution.

In this episode, I talk about what it really means to embrace independence and find appreciation in isolation. I share how learning to enjoy my own company has been one of the most freeing parts of my journey and not from a place of loneliness, but from peace.

A lot of people fear being by themselves because they’ve never slowed down long enough to actually hear their own thoughts. For me, that isolation became where I found clarity, creativity, and direction.

This isn’t about being anti-social or shutting people out, but it’s about learning to stand on your own, make decisions from your own mind, and be solid within yourself. I open up about how this season of independence has made me stronger, more grounded, and more intentional about who and what I let in.

In this episode, I talk about what it really means to invest in yourself and not just with money, but with time, energy, and intention. I break down how, in my 20s, I’ve learned to take pride in giving myself the space to grow, rest, and recharge instead of constantly moving in survival mode.

Investing in yourself might look like taking a day off, learning something new, trying different facets of your creativity, or just giving yourself grace. I share my own experiences, the lessons I’ve learned about balance, and how I’m unlearning that nonstop hustle mentality to finally start hustling for me.

In this episode, I talk about what it really means to invest in yourself, not just with money, but with time, energy, and intention. Money comes and goes, but you it's something you can get it back. Time is equal. You lose the time you don't invest in yourself, so why not make it count today!

I break down how, in my 20s, I’ve learned to take pride in giving myself the space to grow, rest, and recharge instead of constantly moving in survival mode. Investing in yourself might look like taking a day off, learning something new, trying different facets of your creativity, or just giving yourself grace. I share my own experiences, the lessons I’ve learned about balance, and how I’m unlearning that nonstop hustle mentality to finally start hustling for me.

In this episode, I break down my full weight loss journey and not just the numbers, but the mindset, discipline, and real-life shifts that came with it. People always ask how I did it, so I give the full spiel: the ups, the downs, the plateaus, and the moments where I had to push through when nobody was watching.

This isn’t a highlight reel; it’s the process that shaped me mentally, spiritually, and physically. I talk about what helped me stay consistent, what nearly broke my focus, and how I’ve grown into a version of myself that’s still grinding, still evolving, and still learning to give myself grace through it all.Have you endured a personal weight loss journey? How has your experience been, and what did you learn from it? Losing weight isn't always easy, nor is keeping it off. The experience is one you have to learn to embrace and one where loving every version matters.

In Part 3, I talk about unlocking newer versions of myself and the changes I had to make to get there. From muting stories and distancing myself from certain people, to accepting that some relationships have to fade for you to grow.

This part is about releasing what no longer fits the person I’m becoming. It’s the season of pruning, protecting peace, and stepping fully into the next version of me.

I continue the conversation on the growing pains of my late 20s! Here, I dive deeper into how I’ve had to adjust, stay grounded, and keep faith while evolving through uncomfortable transitions.

In this episode, I talk about what my late 20s have really looked like, uncomfortable but hella fruitful. I share how the experiences I’ve had since college, working, learning, and just figuring life out, have sharpened me into who I’m becoming. From relationships that had to change, to financial challenges, to building discipline and finding peace in chaos, I break down what it means to grow through discomfort.

Living in New York has tested me, but it’s also shown me that every season, even the hard ones, is shaping me for something bigger. This episode is all about learning to be comfortable with the uncomfortable and realizing that growth doesn’t always feel good, but it’s always worth it.

In this episode, I talk about the power of speaking positively to yourself even in moments where life or people try to test you. I share how I’ve learned to lean into self-love, affirmation, and intuition, especially when I know I’ve been showing up the right way.

I touch on a letter I received recently from someone I once had a deep connection with, and how it reminded me that when you move with genuine intention and character, respect always comes back around. I also discuss the 29 things I wrote to myself, which were reminders of who I am, what I stand for, and how I want to continue growing. This one’s about self-talk, accountability, and knowing you’re dope even when others forget to acknowledge it.

In this episode, I talk about a previous cycle of fasting and what it taught me about structure, flow, and self-discipline. I share how I’ve learned to build my days with more purpose and how fasting forced me to slow down, pay attention, and move with intention instead of chaos. This one’s about more than food; it’s about balance, self-control, mindset, and creating systems that keep me grounded. It’s a reflection on growth, on learning yourself through stillness, and finding power in routine when life feels unsteady.How has fasting been for you? Have you taken time to sit still with yourself and practice further self-discovery? Feel free to share with me!

In this episode, I get real about the difference between clarity and closure. For a long time, I felt like I needed closure. Like somebody had to explain themselves or tie things up for me to move forward. But what I’ve learned is that closure comes in how people treat you, in the decisions they make, and in the situations that play out. That’s all the closure you really need. What I’ve actually been chasing is clarity. Trying to understand the “why,” trying to dig deeper into the lessons and into myself. I talk about leveling up through those moments, owning my own wrongdoings, and realizing that clarity isn’t something someone else gives you, but it’s something you pull from the experience.

In this episode, I’m talking about something most people wrestle with but rarely unpack - regret.

I break down the difference between short-term regret and long-term regret, and why I personally don’t carry a regretful mindset. That’s not ego - that’s clarity. When you move with intention, make peace with your decisions, and stay honest with yourself, you learn - you don’t dwell.

Most people who live with heavy regrets never took control in the first place. They let life happen to them instead of stepping up and directing it. I talk about how I flipped that narrative, how I process lessons, and how I refuse to let my past define my present.

And here’s the real flex - It’s knowing the difference between something you could’ve changed and something life just threw at you. Regret comes from inaction. But pain? Tragedy? That ain’t the same. Some moments hit outta nowhere, no signs, no warnings, and that’s when grace has to meet reality. You don’t grow by regretting the hard shit…You grow by processing it with intention.

If you’re stuck in cycles of “what if” or “I wish I had” - this one’s for you. Regret doesn’t come from failure. It comes from staying passive when you had the chance to move.

In Part 2, I go deeper, not just into the mindset, but into the actual work that’s helped me shrink imposter syndrome down. This episode is about the actions I’ve taken - putting myself out there before I felt ready, challenging the voice in my head, and proving to myself over and over that I’m really him.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about learning how to move even when you feel unsure. I talk about how I still check myself in the middle of doubt, how I’ve built evidence to silence it, and how every step forward makes that voice quieter.

This is for anybody tired of waiting to feel “ready.” At some point, you gotta decide to move, and let the confidence catch up later.

In this episode, I open up about my battle with Impostor Syndrome - not just in business, but with family, friends, and the pressure of constantly showing up. I’m not here to give you a packaged solution; I’m giving you what’s real.

I talk about what it felt like when Impostor Syndrome ran 80–90% of my mind and how that number dropped over time through real action, not just mindset work. From calling myself out to releasing content before I felt "ready," I break down how I’ve shifted my confidence, even as new levels bring new doubt.

This one’s not about being cured - it’s about learning how to move with it, shrink it, and show up anyway. Part Two continues the conversation on how I keep pushing myself forward in real time.

In Part 2, I get even more personal. I dive into what it was like growing up without a strong crew of people pushing me forward. No older heads putting me on game, no mentors consistently checking in. Just me, a few real ones, and my self-discipline.

I talk about how that shaped me - how I was built differently because of it. The way I keep pushing myself through discomfort, challenge, and growth is when the world around me feels too stagnant or too quiet.

This one’s for the people who had to lead themselves. You ain’t crazy, you’re just growing past the noise.
