What's Your End Game?
Have you ever wanted to strike out on your own, make a change, open a business, do something amazing... but something, or someone, talked you out of it? We'll get into why that happens and what you can do to avoid and move forward... also, BIG NEWS that I'm SOOOO happy to share!
Expressways or City Streets? A Guide to Living in a New World
This was not intended or even planned; this whole episode was written, edited, and previewed and ready to be published. But then something happened; something told me to scrap the whole thing and just speak from the heart. This episode, the first in the new season, is all about perspective and how to approach the hills and valleys of life. I hope you enjoy this introspective journey into appreciation of life.

This is Part 2 of a 2 part series on where we can now go as communities and a nation as we attempt to move forward from all the chaos and issues we've experienced in the past 2 months.

Something from the Heart / It's OK
A special, unscripted, unedited, unscheduled episode that touches on how we're really feeling; it's ok not to be ok. You don't have to learn a new language, open a new business, fix your home life, write a book, or fix all the world's problems to consider this extended time a success; if you just kept your mind together and didn't get sick, YOU WIN!!! Take care of yourself and those around you... see you Saturday!
This Weight is Heavy...
We're halfway through the year and LAWD... 2020 has been one helluva year! From pandemic to social distancing to politics, its enough to drive you crazy! Here's my take on a few issues that have dominated the airways for several weeks and my view on the 2020 Election Silly Season that is swinging into high gear, headed to November....
THE RETURN!!!
What's up family!! Ya Boy G is back in the building!! Sorry for my extended absence, but I needed a little time away to get things together and do some reorganization and shuffling within my own business, which will bring you the best content in the best way possible. I hope you enjoy the changes! Hit me up with comments at themorningsmokeclt@gmail.com or on IG at The Morning Smoke CLT...
LOVE ALWAYS WINS
In a very special episode, I completely got away from the normal format and I'm giving you some honest heat... take a listen... it'll do your heart some good...
SINCE WE'RE BEING HONEST...
To Thine Own Self Be True... but oftentimes, we just lie to ourselves and pretend everything is all good. One of the best things we can do is find someone who can make us take another look at ourselves and be completely honest... we may even find better versions of ourselves than we even thought was possible! Also, we'll take step two into the examination of the business of college football in our weekly installment of SERIAL SPORTS. Plus another edition of, "FA REAL THO?" and some thoughts in the upcoming Presidential Election. All this week on the Morning Smoke CLT!
TOO MUCH, TOO SOON?
All over America, States are easing restrictions and lifting stay-at-home orders in an efforts to "restart" the economy and preserve jobs and small businesses. But are we moving too fast? Are we potentially jeopardizing the health and safety of the most vulnerable among us just for the sake of the economy? Also, new segments, new music, the return of "FA REAL THO?" and the birth of a new project and website... all this week on the Morning Smoke CLT!
**PARENTAL ADVISORY** - EXPLICIT THOUGHTS
"They are just angry because the truth you speak contradicts the lie they live..." - Author Unknown
So a few of my listeners wanted me to talk about my true feelings on certain issues in society and give a true account of myself; well given the scope and depth of events that have happened over the past few days, it was time. Join me for ride into the subconscious of our nation, attempting to find what really makes us who we are....
Y'all Bored Yet??? #QUARANTINEBURNOUT
Depending on where you are, we are somewhere between Day 44 and 60 of the Covid-19 Lockdown... are y'all bored yet? Surely I'm not the only one aimlessly searching for the next fun thing to do... maybe I'll count my T-Shirts today... or maybe just take a nap. ALSO... a new segment called "FaRealDoe??", where dive into some of the most WTF moments currently circulating the virtual playground.
The End of Arrogance
What Coronavirus Taught Me That Life Couldn't
These are truly unsettling times in which we live... but, depending on your perspective, there are things that we can learn and positives we can take from it all. Also, I'll take you on a trip into me and what molded me into who I am today...
Episode 2 - Is This Normal?
America is supposedly “reopening” soon... is it for the sake of the economy or something else? I’ll tell you what I REALLY think...
PLUS... We’ve lived without live sports now for 24 days (seems SOOOOOO much longer)... can we get the good vibes back or are our getaways from real life changed forever? I’ll give you my thoughts...
The Morning Smoke Premiere
The Morning Smoke is podcast dedicated to easing the boredom we're all feeling right now... we'll talk about the world from MY point of view (which can be scary at times... not the world, MY POINT OF VIEW), life in these uncertain times and how we're adjusting, news, life hacks, mixing in a little food and beverage, with my cigar of the day mixed in every episode...
