Modern Growth

I need some ME time! Modern Growth had the privilege of bringing back Kenah Lyons creator of ‘Mental HELLth’ podcast to discuss the importance and benefits of “me” time. Sitting with yourself is not an easy thing to do. Inside of “me” time, you face self-reflection and self-analysis which begets self-improvement. Each sub-component is vital for personal growth as YOU are your biggest investment, and flex. In this episode we deep dive into routine, and how vital it is to establish selfishness. We also dove into fatherhood; more specifically, when men have a renewed mindset on the way they treat ALL women. Tap in and share this podcast with one friend who needs to make their mental health a priority. We’re all in this together. ✊

Are you ready for the NBA playoffs?! Well before we get there, Adam Silver decided to bring back the play-in tournament that debuted last year during the NBA playoff bubble. Gabe and I discussed the details of the play-in tournament and shared our predictions of who would make the playoffs if the standings for the play-in tournament started today. The NBA has never been more exciting as the talent is at an all-time high which provides great entertainment night in and night out. Jokic vs Embiid, reviewing the top 3 picks of the most recent draft class, and buying or selling whether the Lakers can run the table regardless of their seed are just a sneak peek of what we dove into this episode at Modern Growth. Gabe has the Suns beating my Lakers in the playoffs so we have our own internal bet potentially on the horizon! Share with us your thoughts, predictions, and feedback as we look forward to another exciting postseason!

Following our most successful “How To Say I Love You in Black” podcast, we decided to have counsel with a couple of our friends Stephen Becton and Will Brown. In this podcast, we will specifically be discussing the “hard” topics that are prevalent to black men in society. As black men we’re told to hide our emotions behind our masculine persona, but why? What is preventing black men from being open and vulnerable with one another and the people closest to us? Ultimately, we aim to be vulnerable enough as black men to have these hard conversations, and discuss topics that don’t get talked about nearly enough. As conscience, in-tune and emotionally secure black men, we hope that these open discussions help our fellow brothers on their journeys to becoming secure, strong and emotionally emancipated friends, spouses, and loved ones. Thank you for growing with us. Tune in and give us you thoughts here at Modern Growth!
