Sippin On Excellence

This week on Sippin On Excellence, we hand the mic to the incomparable Tonya Renee Banks—actor, author, reality TV icon, and all-around truth-teller. Buckle up, because Tonya didn't hold back. She takes us deep into the world behind Little Women: LA and even deeper into her new book (which inspired this episode's title). Tonya shares what reality TV never shows: family dynamics, her upbringing, and the gritty, unfiltered moments that made her who she is. No topic was off-limits. From the challenges and triumphs of growing up as a little person, to the way her family kept her grounded (and hilarious), to her hustle in Hollywood—Tonya drops gems and realness in equal measure. Get ready to laugh, reflect, and maybe even rethink what resilience looks like. If you've ever faced adversity, judgment, or just needed a reminder that you can carve your own path—this episode is for you. Grab a drink, settle in, and let's sip on some real excellence.   Questions, reviews and topics you would like to hear on the show: Website: podcastsoe.com.   Instagram: @soe_podcast     YouTube: @sippinonexcellence3736   Connect with Doc!

Welcome to the rawest episode we've done yet. This week on Sippin' on Excellence, Coach KJ and Doc Hunt dive headfirst into the silent war most men are losing: their mental health. We're unmasking the high-performing man who looks like he's winning… but is emotionally drowning. We're challenging outdated definitions of masculinity that keep men locked in shame, stress, and silence.And we're breaking down why that “strong, silent type” image is killing men from the inside out. From performance pressure, suppressed emotions, to the emotional cost of pretending everything's fine, it's time to rewire how we see strength.   If you're a man, know a man, love a man — this episode is your permission slip to go deeper.   Questions, reviews and topics you would like to hear on the show:   Website: podcastsoe.com.   Instagram: @soe_podcast     YouTube: @sippinonexcellence3736   Connect with Doc!

In this powerful and no-holds-barred episode, Coach KJ and Dr. Hunt sit down with none other than The Honorable Judge Greg Mathis—the streetwise icon who turned a troubled youth into a lifetime of service, justice, and unapologetic leadership.   Judge Mathis opens up about his past as a juvenile, the moment he knew education would be his weapon, and how he used the courtroom as a platform to fight for the voiceless. We dive into the major influences that changed his trajectory, how he stayed grounded in his community roots, and why he never traded in his authenticity for respectability.   This isn't just a story of redemption, it's a masterclass in reclaiming power, building purpose, and giving back with a vengeance. Whether you're a fan of justice, the underdog's rise, or real talk about Black excellence, this episode is a must-listen. “I'm still the street guy... I just made it.” — Judge Mathis   Questions, reviews and topics you would like to hear on the show:   Website: podcastsoe.com.   Instagram: @soe_podcast     YouTube: @sippinonexcellence3736   Connect with Doc!

In this week's episode Coach KJ and Doc set fire to one of the most overused and under-delivered concepts in personal development: work-life balance. The truth is, for high-performers and purpose-driven people, the idea of true balance is not just unrealistic… it can be a trap.   We dive into the myth of balance in work, relationships, and the pursuit of success. What society sells as “peace” often feels like pressure. Friends, family, even well-meaning strangers love to offer advice, “Take more time off,” “You need a vaca,” “You're doing too much.” But often that advice has more to do with their discomfort than your burnout.   Instead of chasing a picture-perfect version of balance, this episode challenges you to create your own version of rhythm, alignment, and intentional chaos. Because sometimes your grind is your therapy. Sometimes imbalance is exactly what your growth demands.   It's time to redefine what your life should look like. And no, you don't owe anyone an apology for being obsessed with building something great.   Questions, reviews and topics you would like to hear on the show:   Website: podcastsoe.com.   Instagram: @soe_podcast     YouTube: @sippinonexcellence3736   Connect with Doc!

We were so honored to have a powerful and in depth conversation with Dr. Mitch Besser. Dr. Besser is not your typical Ob-Gyn. He has dedicated most of his career to serving the underprivileged around the world, mostly spending over 20 years in South Africa empowering pregnant women living with HIV to have better lives. This was a very soulful conversation that will pluck at the heartstrings. Rest assured. We will have him back for round 2.  We truly only scratched the surface of his vast experience navigating the waters of this thing called LIFE!

Your belief system isn't just a vibe—it's a GPS. But what happens when it's leading you off a cliff? In this week's episode Coach KJ and Doc Hunt dissect the line between the risks of challenging your belief system to succeed and the very system you thought was keeping you grounded… that might be keeping you small. We jump into some thought-provoking conversation. Is not challenging your belief system one of the riskiest things you can do? Is there a difference between beliefs that serve your success and ones that sabotage it, or are they the same? Are most people's belief systems their own, generational hand-me-downs, or socially influenced? This isn't just mindset talk. It's a street-level, soul-deep callout of the stuff you believe that's either building your legacy, or burying it. If you've ever asked, “Why does it feel like I'm sabotaging myself just as I'm about to win?”… this one's for you. Pour it up, press play, and prepare to call yourself out.   Questions, reviews and topics you would like to hear on the show:   Website: podcastsoe.com.   Instagram: @soe_podcast     YouTube: @sippinonexcellence3736   Connect with Doc!

If you've been coasting, overthinking, or playing small, these 10 questions will hit you like a reality check you didn't know you needed: 1. Are the people around you pushing you forward or holding you back? 2. If the next 1,000 days looked like yesterday, would you be closer to or further from your dreams? 3. If a stranger studied your routine, what would they assume your priorities are? 4. If someone else had your daily habits, would you bet on them to succeed? 5. If you knew you couldn't fail, what dream would you go all in on? 6. If your 12-year-old self met you today, would they be proud or disappointed? 7. Have you been consistent enough to deserve the results you want? 8. What's the biggest lie you tell yourself about why you aren't where you want to be? 9. What's the #1 thing you're procrastinating on that you KNOW would change your life? 10. Are you making choices today that your future self will thank you for—or regret?   This isn't just another self-help chat. Coach KJ and Doc put each other in the hot seat… now it's your turn! Let's together expose the mindset traps that keep us from leveling up.   This episode will make you reflect, rethink, and, most importantly—take action.   Ready to face the truth?

Death is an inevitable fate that we all face in many forms… work, relationships, but the most feared is our last breath. It's understood that most of us truly don't want to die. That being said, are you scared? Why do we grieve so hard after a loss? Why do we fear even discussing it? Well, we decided to take a stab at it and show the world how this assumed morbid topic can be a calling for living a more fruitful life. Take a seat and pay attention. This one gets deep.

Gratitude...What's sad is that most people have no idea how to live in that space. There is nothing wrong with wanting more out of life. However, problems arise when the chase for more overshadows the appreciation for less. Some call it ambition. Others will say it is greed. No matter how great life is, we all hold on to the hope that it will get better. Understanding that life could always be worse no matter how difficult things may be, this is where true gratitude lies. Be grateful for life's triumphs and be even more grateful for the disappointments and failures for this is where the best life lessons are found. Happy Thanksgiving from Coach and Doc!  Questions, reviews and topics you would like to hear on the show: Website: podcastsoe.com.   Instagram: @soe_podcast     YouTube: @sippinonexcellence3736 Connect with Doc!

Something is in the atmosphere and it's not good! Whether it is (un)social media, political differences, generational gaps, or whatever… people have lost the simple art of talking to each other.

Do you have an ego? Of course you do. Every human does. The real question is how fragile is it? Do you exude a quiet confidence while checking your ego at the door when necessary? Or do you plonk your ego around the room like a boomerang covering up your inadequacies? Who has the bigger ego, men or women? The ego can be a monstrous beast… if you let it! With this episode, we are trying to help you tame your beast, or at least put it in check, so you can have better connections with those in your orbit.

Every human on this planet has needs, and that's a fact! But when do needs become well… TOO NEEDY? How do women get what they want without turning off the very person they expect to serve those wants? Is a controlling man a needy man? Is your line of communication in alignment with your desires?

There seems to be a discrepancy in understanding the difference between being broken and being broke as it relates to men. Is a broke man BROKEN? Can a man of financial esteem be internally fractured? Sip Boyz tackle in depth and with curiosity the understanding, meaning and direction of the broken man.

Relationships are about harmony and balance as a unit. Often when there's a jolt that incites chaos within that relationship, it usually comes from an external stimulus, meaning… who shook the bottle? Where did this acute battle between the sexes come from? Is social media become too “triggering”? How have family and friends been the divider? This is a conversation between two brothers that just might help you get to the root of some of your most mind-boggling conflicts hurting the connections with the ones you say you love!

Social status is everything, and we are all guilty of chasing it. Do you have as many options as you think? What's valued more...fame or wealth? Social status, financial capital, sexual capital... what holds more value and for who...men or women? This episode was dynamic with many twists and turns for so many reasons. Man, we went everywhere with this one, and, as usual, tied it all together!

The word friend is tossed around way too easily. Would you agree? It's understood that using friend can be used as a quick term to give identity and connection… but what does being a friend truly mean to you? What defines a true friendship? Who do you think has better time-tested friendships, men or women? What are your friendship expectations? Do you meet those expectations? These are just a few of the questions you might want to ask yourself before you declare “YOU MY FRIEND”!

Do you ever ask yourself, “what are my intentions.” If you're trying to get a job that may be temporary for you, do you state to your potential boss your future plans? You're happy in a relationship but you or your partner may want more, do you share what you envision between you two? The subject of intentions comes up quite often these days without truly defining what it means. Well people, Coach and Doc have put a tag on it to give you a better understanding of intentions and the need for better communication. LET'S GO!

We all have wants. We all have needs. Is there always a difference? It's crazy how we can want something so bad that we convince ourselves of the need. Wants and needs can change with time and life experiences. Where you decide to focus your energy will often dictate your level of happiness. It's ok to want it all as long as you don't try to convince yourself that you need it all. Coach and Doc get deep and personal as they open up about focusing on what really matters.

We have all faced conflicts both internal and external. Whether at home or at work… conflict is inevitable. How do you handle a potentially irritating or volatile situation? Do you face it head on, or do you run? Do you add fuel to the fire or do you extinguish? Most importantly, how do you handle that most troubling of conflicts...you vs. you? This is one for both men and women alike to better understand the importance of skillful conflict resolution.

You worked hard to get where you are. You bought the house. You got the car. You created the lifestyle. But most importantly you got the haters! Haters come in all different fashions.

So ladies, you say you can't find a good man. Or as many say, there are no good men available. Now let's be real, is that true? Are you even able to recognize a good man if you see one?

This show is a straight shot, no chaser! Men are men, and women are women… period! But are too many men housing their masculine traits to cover the cost to enter a woman's heart? Do women take on masculine traits too often to suppress their need for a man? Men and woman think differently, work differently, and move differently because we are DIFFERENT! Simply understand that everyone brings something to the table which can create harmony and respect for all. The Boyz are going to dice this one up, so let's ride!

It's safe to say that in true human nature fashion, we all want more in life… more money, more things, more, more, and even more! But is it the desires of our own ambition, or is it the chase of wanting what others have? Are shiny objects and luxuries seen as sources of motivation or envy? This is a timeless subject that never gets old, just more volatile and egregious with our societal excessiveness.

This topic came from a viewer that really got us saying hmm… Is it ok to be content with where one is in life or is that considerd failing for not wanting more? Is being content the same as settling?

Kenny Rogers said it best, “You gotta know when to hold ‘em. Know when to fold ‘em. Know when to walk away. Know when to run!” This question is a constant in everyone's life, right? How long am I going to stay in this thankless job? When will he treat me better? When we get married? These questions are just a few of the many that even Coach and Doc can't answer. Only you can decide the when. Some walk too soon while others walk too late. However, this episode is about searching for your boundaries and facing whether situations are exceptions v. needed rejections of your life story.

In the moment of crisis, grievances or specs of personal intrigue are you able to navigate how you're feeling or just reacting emotionally? Are your emotions intact or do you wear them as a badge of honor? The Sip Boyz get in-depth with the ebbs and flows of your emotional intelligence v. your emotional reactiveness.

The idea of mutual reciprocity is on the table today. You receive goods, services or benefits in exchange for personal interests. That is the definition of a transactional relationship.

“They made me a better person.” This statement gets tossed around way too easily and frequently. People love to lay claim to the glory of other's success, but we hear nothin but crickets for the failures. Men and women are very different in this mindset. Why?

Mama always said never call someone “stupid”.  Sorry mama, sometimes we have to call ‘em like we see ‘em.  Let's just face the fact that in an ultra politely correct world, the use of the word stupid can't be denied when there is nothing else that applies. If able and capable, yet never doing the job hired for, that's stupid! Posting HD, overly-edited pictures just hoping someone will see you for you, that's stupid?  Keep giving money to family or friends texpecting payback that you know will never come, that's stupid! We are all entitled to have glimpses of ditzy behavior. However, when the behavior becomes costly due to repetition, ignoring, or denial, that's a problem. This episode will dissect the word and actions/inactions that follow… in the most unpolitically correct/PC way we could!

Nothing plucks at the heartstrings like a great love story.  On the other hand, what's more gut-wrenching than a love story broken? This episode will most definitely poke at your perspective of love.
