I WILL... Power
It all started with a phone call. The phone call based on a thought that I put out into the universe. To bring me the people that I needed to help quantum leap me into a new stratosphere financially. I'm super glad I took the call.

Teammates
Turns out the cliche is true. Teamwork makes the dream work. It's important to believe but it's even more valuable and powerful to have a partner. Someone who agrees with you in order to go from oh no to oh YES.

Nostalgia
While waiting for food I didn't expect to do it but I ended up reflecting on my college days and what it means to let things go. My glory days are not in the past but rather in each moment as I move forward. God takes us from Glory to Glory.

Ownership
"You are what you choose to accept and what you refuse to give up." D.R.O.P.S. Ownership gives power and opportunity. It is a powerful tool to either build you up or to tear you down.

Where it all Started

June 17, 2021

Aboot time

June 10, 2021

Inspired to inspire
Starting my own master class has been a desire for mine I think for some time. Just recently all the dominoes are starting to fall very rapidly towards its creation. I have my first client and I'm super excited to see where she takes it.
28:53
June 03, 2021

Own Your Future
In order to own your future and create the world that you see fit, you must address and understand your past and your role in it. You must forgive and choose to forge a new life, a new version of yourself and that all starts in your mind.

DAY1
Not too long ago God let me know that he was going to pull the rug from under me and make some big changes in my life. He was going to replace what we have with so much greater than we could imagine. He was going to give us the desires of our heart, my wife and I. It's so awesome, exciting and thrilling to be in this place.

Youth
They say, "youth is wasted on the young". I believe this is false. You are born with all the tools you'll ever need for happiness and success. The aspects of our child brains can be tapped into to create an amazing personal reality.

May 06, 2021

Faith, Finance, & Perception
Belief in yourself will open up doors that you never thought existed. Action will allow you to step through those doors and to see things you've never seen. On this episode I catch up with Zaanish Pirani, who was instrumental in building the brand Commonwealth and now is contributing to the success of Fintech in Medellín, Colombia.

Peace is a big one

Heehaw
An impactful conversation with my Uber driver at the New Orleans airport led to this conversation on my podcast. My guest is a lawyer, a public speaker, and a self-proclaimed heehaw man. On occasion, life gives you opportunities to enhance your bubble and to add a member to your tribe. This seemingly chance encounter was one of those moments. We catch up to talk about purpose, ripple effects and so much more.

April 01, 2021

The Training Camp
As new opportunities present themselves to me I am often confronted with a bit of concern and even fear. Knowing that the life that I really want is on the other side of that fear causes me to keep going and to find solutions. Having God on my side, and knowing that he wants me to win allows me to experience the clarity I need to move forward.
17:22
March 18, 2021

The Trouble with Always
When you think about always when it pertains to your life you have to be very careful. Having an always mindset will keep you in a box. People often say things like it's always been this way or that's the way it's always been done. My family has always struggled with money. These phrases are dangerous and we must get past them in order to achieve long-term success. Change and adaptability are key.
06:31

Lessons in Manhood
From time to time I give my son lessons in Manhood. While most of what it is to be a great man is understood through observation, I wanted to really hit home a few staples that will never change.

Bridges
In this episode, we're talking about bridges. The ones you do with your body and the ones you build with the bodies and personalities of other people. Bridging has opened up my world and helped me to heal my body. Bridging has also opened up my mind and my heart to the fullness of life, the life that God has for me. What I once took for granted I have the utmost appreciation for and that goes for the people that I once took for granted as well. Knowing when to build bridges, knowing when to rebuild bridges, and knowing when to set bridges on fire are key.

Toyotas, Fires, and Fitness
I had the opportunity to talk about fitness and growth with another FNX ambassador, Helen. After a year of covid-19, she hasn't lost her dedication to herself and the firehouses she spends so much time in. It turns out, cliches are true, and "when you put effort in to yourself, you always win."

January 28, 2021

No distractions over Here
After 20 years of my injury I'm realizing just how many benefits that I've gained because of it. The ability to not be distracted and to stay focused on my path to success no matter what I'm doing, has been one of those strengths. This is the how in the why, the what and the win.
05:19
January 24, 2021

Réalisation

24:39
December 11, 2020

Focus on the What
Ray & I you talk about how the pain and recovery have shaped us. Knowing what we wanted ultimately was the key to keeping us going. Turns out the cliche about perseverance paying off is true. We're better for all the challenges and all the difficulties. So are you.
55:48
December 06, 2020

Take a Look Inside
On this episode I'm going through one of the drops in my book that says your dreams came from you so don't look to someone else to complete them. Far too often we're looking outside of ourselves to someone else in order to accomplish what we know is ours. Our ideas and dreams are inside of us in our imaginations and it's up to us to put in the work to realize them.

Notice More to Live More
I'm recounting my day yesterday and the mental journey that I went on. Reminding you that each day is meant to be a renewal of your mind. Reminding you that, to think what you want to think despite your circumstances is being a mastermind. You can't nor should you try to change other people. Your focus should be on changing yourself, noticing the things in your own life & the way you think about them. That way is the best way to affect change for the better.

The Cure
I do a deep dive into the cure for laziness. The cure to getting what you want out of yourself and out of life. The importance of self-talk, decisions, and actions go hand in hand. Enjoy.

September 10, 2020

Oh, it's everywhere
Bias can be a simple literary trick or it can be the first step in a series of detrimental elements of a person's life. Knowing this, my faith can never be based on the circumstances that surround me but rather on the fielty of God
26:09
August 20, 2020

Permission Granted
A quick 20min is all you need to self-talk your way towards the next step. Or at least you'll be able to calm your nerves a bit enough to step out of God's way. I mention my clothing brand DDH Apparel Co. as I'm struggling with what to do about its growth. Turns out giving advice is a lot easier than receiving it.

Back Where We Began

Heck yeah, I'm going

From our Family to Yours
We go into the realities of Black America through the family stories of Rosalind Pierce. Turns out there's hope overall when you have a strong base.
43:41
July 08, 2020

Esse Quam Videri
Esse Quam Videri: to be rather than to pretend. The truth is, we all pretend to be or not to be something from time to time. However, it's those of us brave souls that refuse to live a version of ourselves that isn't true. Being means honest expression. This can be difficult however and the opposition is sure to come. Like it says in D.R.O.P.S., "happiness is a reflection of an honest you".
01:01:08

14:26
July 15, 2019

Within Reach
So often we get focused on the big picture of things. The things we see down the line. Those things often seem so far-fetched it convinces us that we cannot achieve those things. However if you do the things that are within reach, the things on day one, then you will have the things you see down the line when it is time.
26:15
July 06, 2019

MLAAWA
In this episode I dive deeper into the name MLAAWA which is the acronym for My Life at a Weird Angle. I was hoping after a little bit of research, that I would turn up something interesting with that word rather than something weird or unuseful. Once again God exceeded my expectations and the definition behind MLAAWA was even more than I could imagine. Proof that following my prompts is the best way to live.
17:04
