It's the first #MakeYaMoveMonday of June—and we're kicking it off with a question that demands honesty:What are your flaws—and how are they actually helping you win today?In this episode, I take you inside a moment of raw reflection that started with a long car ride and a deep convo with my girlfriend. I unpack one of my biggest flaws—caring too much—and explain how I've transformed it into a competitive edge in business, education, and leadership.

This week was heavy—but necessary.Today on the Move Swiftly Podcast LIVE, I recap three powerful days of reflection, reality checks, and raw truth about Black Fatigue and leadership:

This episode gets deep. Real leadership doesn't start with a title—it starts with the tone you set.I'm opening up about one of the most defining lessons of my life, taught to me by the greatest coach I've ever played for—Coach Bryant Davis. A man who laid the foundation for my mission today when he said:“There are no N-Words out here.”In this powerful conversation, I unpack:

In this powerful and necessary episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a topic too many avoid: Black Fatigue—not as a trend, but as a trap.We're not sugarcoating. We're unpacking the Top 5 reasons why this mindset lingers and why it's being passed down like a generational curse:It's the Invention of an Excuse – From the locker room to the classroom, I've seen it all: missed practices, skipped assignments, and a never-ending stream of justifications.It Caters to Laziness – Don't confuse rest with neglect. Laziness disguised as “burnout” is killing momentum.It Keeps You in a Comfort Zone – The term "Black Community" gets thrown around, but are we enabling mediocrity instead of demanding progress?It Becomes Entertainment – The Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese drama is a distraction. Let's stop mistaking clickbait for cultural advancement.It Creates a Bond with Children (That They Don't Need) – Your child is not your friend. They need guidance, not a partner in complaining.This episode is about truth over trends and accountability over applause.

It's Memorial Day 2025—but around here, there are no days off.In this Make Ya Move Monday episode, I unpack one of the most uncomfortable, overused, and misunderstood terms floating around right now: Black Fatigue.Here's what we get into:Why "Black Fatigue" is not a condition—it's a crutchHow I graded myself (a hard C+) for May, and what I'm doing differently in JuneWhy excuses are easy, but ownership is powerWhat it really looks like to be a Black man who leads from the frontThis is not about blame. This is about Black Ownership.

What do you do when the people you work with don't see the world like you do?In this episode, I take you inside a pivotal lesson I learned during my four years as a boxing trainer. I constantly clashed with two male co-trainers who saw everything differently—training methods, values, leadership… all of it. But after one intense workout, it was a female member—who we all called Gator—who dropped the real wisdom.She looked at me and said:

Welcome to another #MakeYaMove Monday!In today's episode, I dive into one of the most important questions you can ask as a leader, entrepreneur, or teammate: How do you define your worldview?After a deep (and brutally honest) exchange with ChatGPT, I came face-to-face with a truth I didn't expect—I'm a centrist.
