The Board Meeting

We're baaaaaaack!* It's March so you already know what time it is.

As always, we have a 3rd party sit down to discuss with us and who better than friend of the podcast Danny Foxworth to be a tie breaker! Some of us have listened to all of the songs in the bracket, while others... not so much.

In the words of John Maxwell, "leadership is influence. Nothing more, nothing less."

A bond between brothers is truly a special thing, and that’s evident in our interview of Gerard’s “little” brother Brent Droze. Brent sat down with us to talk about what it was like growing up with a big brother, how his experience at the Air Force Academy and as an Air Force Captain helped shape him, and how parenting has changed him.

Our guy Danny Foxworth joins us again to help crown a champion in our 90s Hip Hop One Hit Wonders bracket. (Yes, we know a couple of the songs aren’t actually from the 90s. Just go with us.)

When you find your groove you’re unstoppable, but if your sweet spot is sugar on grits or the NBA dunk contest, we have questions. As usual, Mike is oblivious to the online sugar vs. salt in grits debate, but that doesn’t stop him from having a strong opinion. We also talk about the dunk contest vs. the 3 point contest, and what we’ve learned after a year of quarantine. Support our sponsors for this episode, Myriad Naturals!

Its been a long time since you last heard his voice. It’s been partially because he couldn’t speak during that absence.

It’s been a minute, but we promise there’s a legit reason. It was a pleasure to have Danny Foxworth back with us again sitting in for Mike as we talked about all things South Carolina.

In this episode we talk about the steps we’re taking personally to grow our finances and how our environments haven’t always prepared us for this knowledge.

What if I told you back in May 2020 that Nike and other companies would make Juneteenth a paid holiday, ABC would cast a Black Bachelor, and NASCAR would ban the confederate flag from their race tracks? After the murder of #GeorgeFloyd, Wrangler and John Deere would release statements in support of black people (and make donations to the NAACP!), Care Bears would come back to the national consciousness with a #BlackLivesMatter bear, and even BabyNames.com would #SayTheirNames and list the names of people killed by police brutality?

From gasoline to sneakers, prices are dropping across all markets due to the affects of COVID-19. After a brief hiatus we joined back up to record another social distanced podcast ep. We apologize for the sound quality, but like we discuss in the episode we’ve had to adjust to this new life under quarantine. Working from home, acceptable laws to protest, and all the things we miss are all discussed in episode 114 of #TheBoardMeeting!

The world as we know it is changing, so we must change with the times. In effort to flatten the curve of the Coronavirus, we’re practicing social distancing and recording our first episode apart from each other. We talk about how the world will be different after this, all the times we’ve ignored germs, and cheap flights!

We didn’t let the outfits we were wearing affect our performance during this recording! In this episode we break down Wilder/Fury II, and get in to a meandering discussion that starts with country/old phrases and ends with finding scholarships. Yeah, we don’t know either, but there’s *IS* a lesson in here.

Steve Harvey. The Houston Astros. Deion Sanders. What do they have in common? Cheatin’! From stealing baseball signs, to dying beards, to hair pieces, we break down all the cheating.

The Birkman Assessment is a personality, social perception, and occupational interest assessment. We discuss our usual behaviors, stress behaviors, and interests to see where we’re alike and where we differ.

If a podcast could be chopped and screwed, it would sound like this. Mike tried to make a good impression and got rewarded with TWO yellow jacket stings! So this episode was recorded under the influence of of Benadryl. We also discussed whether or not we believe aliens are real, and continue to get HYPED for #TBM100!
