In this episode of the BYOK Podcast, I sit down with my nephew, Andre Quinn, as he shares his powerful story of resilience, growth, and transformation. When I asked Andre what he wanted to talk about, he simply said, "I've been through it all and then some — and I'm ready to share my story." And he truly delivered.We dive into topics like the power of influence, working within systems to create real change, and his perspective on how Black people are portrayed in the media. Andre also shares his thoughts on quantum physics, black holes, emotional intelligence, and the disturbing news surrounding the 85,000 missing children — with Child Protective Services (CPS) now under pressure for answers.This conversation is filled with wisdom, real talk, and reflections that will leave you thinking long after the episode ends.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jill Lanier, the founder of Mindful Renaissance. Our conversation centered around the power of mindfulness in our daily lives, and how it can help us make sound choices based on our emotions.

Through her Mindful Renaissance Framework, she has helped countless people unlock their ability to shift their consciousness and embrace a more mindful way of living.

The topic of Friendship tends to become more defined and specific the older we become. Let's be honest: life has a way to re-tailoring expectations and/or who fit in our life.
