This week the original gang is back as we talk on everything from the Allstar game to how we feel being 3 years in the podcast game and what it means to get old quick. We talk about a lot in between, listen for the conversation, stay because you like what you hear, share because you want to help the platform grow.

I know its been so long but when tragedy strikes and it's emotional I want to talk about it. Listen Like Share.

It's 2019 and I'm still talking about the same things I did back in 2017. Colin Kaepernick, Donald Trump, and the way people treat women... Why aren't we doing better by now.

The Point of this quick pod is that life is a walking contradiction I can both like something and hate something from the same person at the exact same time. And guess what that is perfectly ok, that is what free will and choices are all about.

Rule #1 Networking should always be free. Rule #2 if someone wants to charge you then you're in the wrong space. This week I sit down with a bunch of creatives and mostly listen to how we describe navigating the world of connecting with others while black. We got something for the introverts and the extroverts and the people that flip flop in between. Stay for the conversation, Share with a friend if you like it.

What happens when the creators create in one space? We have a conversation about support and what we need and how we give it to everyone else. Use the background as white noise but stay for the conversation. Next week maybe you should pull up too

Sometimes you have to use your platform to empower others. This week I choose to get behind a person and his cause. Salute to Chris for all that you're doing in the city, it matters.

Salute to my guys the Art Hype and Joey for a conversation that went way left of what I originally had planned. Started at a place with 3 creatives try to understand the thirst trap to how we have each grown in very different ways but our paths all intersect.
