Black Men Think Podcast

In this powerful episode of The Black Men Think Podcast, we sit down with performance coach and founder of F42 Empowerment, Daron "Coach Frank" Franklin. From his roots in Gentilly Woods, New Orleans to his journey as a professional athlete and educator, Coach Frank shares how his life experiences shaped his mission to help others overcome obstacles, rebuild confidence, and lead with intention.

In this episode of The Black Men Think Podcast, the crew gets honest during our Homeboy Check-In and uncovers a shared truth — that being middle-aged Black men often comes with a silent struggle of figuring out who we are and what's next. We talk about the pressure of finding direction, the easy trap of looking to social media for validation, and how generational differences shape how we show up in the world. We also break down the importance of developing real-life interpersonal skills in a time when everything feels digital. In our #AskABlackMan segment, we answer a heavy question: “How do you handle being in a relationship where you're expected to lead, but your leadership is constantly questioned?” It's a conversation that sparked real transparency and reflection.

In this episode of The Black Men Think Podcast, the crew dives into a conversation around convenience—how it shapes our decisions, habits, and finances. From food delivery apps and subscription services to shortcuts in relationships and parenting, we explore what we gain (and lose) by prioritizing ease over effort. Is convenience helping us live better, or is it quietly costing us more than we realize? Tap in, subscribe, and don't forget to leave us a voicemail with your own questions at 404-939-6477.
