Small Town Big Minds Podcast

We're back with season 2 and a new community project. Outdoor community Ice Rink. Click the link in the bio. The state of Hip Hop today and the cost of owning your masters. How grateful we are for the huge turn out for our kickball tournament, and more.

This episode spoke on some touchy subjects. We stepped away from politics for a week to have some table talk with our people. Can men forgive women the way women forgive men? Whats worse to "Get It & Lose It" or to never have it. Nick Cannon & Desean Jacksons statements and of course how boring would life be without a couple entanglements. These thoughts and ideas are our own and have nothing to do with 2XL.

We had the honor of having Dunkirk City Attorney Richard Morrisroe who is running for County Executive. We talk about the positive and negatives growing up in small town community, politics, generational differences, and how does government evolve as quickly as society.

We go over everything we are involved with currently in the community and all the upcoming plans for the 2XL Youth Program, Art Mural, Child Mentorship, and a couple other random topics thrown in there. Tap In.

Special Guest Champion Boxing Coach Tommy Roque Sr. comes on our show to talk about the resurrection of the 2XL program in our area. The positive influence it had on our youth at the time, why it had stopped, and our goal as men to be positive influences in these young children's minds.

This episode was real special because we brought a local boxing champion Elon DeJesus talk about his journey in boxing. He talks about how he got started in boxing with the local 2XL program, self discipline, and what his future aspirations are. We also got into a passionate conversation about the trending Hip Hop topic of 69 and snitchin. As well as talking about the local project in the works to help bring the youth a central location for mentors and after school programs parents can trust. This episode was sponsored by the local 2XL organization.

This episode we have special guest David Alvalle from Kingdom Talk Podcast. He gives his insight on his podcast and faith. We talk about a big topic that is always brought up in our community, "There isn't anything to do for the kids." We also touch base on the money we raised for the Art Mural and the steps we are taking to communicate with the city.

We go deep into the subject on the quarantine and the effects on our mental health. We talk about moments in our lives we dealt with depression and some self reflecting solutions on how to deal with it.

In this episode we lighten up the dialogue and talk about music and which artists we like and dislike especially pertaining to a certain artists recent release from jail. We talk about sports on a panel with a Miami Dolphins fan, Baltimore Ravens fan, New York Giants fan, and of course the best fans in the NFL a Bills Mafia VIP Legion fan. Of course we bring up the underlying topic on everyones mind Covid-19 and what we are all doing during Quarantine?

This episode we shout out a bunch of local inspirations and local businesses. We also talk about ways we can better organize the community to uplift and motivate our people to be proud of where they are from.

Young men approach a difficult but beautifully deep conversation that most people try to avoid, mental illness. Other topics that get discussed are relationships and polygamy.

Young Kings speaking on the low standards of their small town community and how we can raise the bar, the definition of an O.G., and their failures when it comes to relationships and their personal life.
