    Part two of my series “The Journey” focuses on how I became a prisoner of my own thoughts. There was an experimental study conducted by a few college Universities to study the effects of placing monkeys in a cage. The monkeys became enemies and kept each other from leaving instead of helping each other. I spent YEARS trying to break myself free of this mentality, and it wasn't until I surrounded myself with positivity that I realized how important it was to have a community of brothers. 0:40 - Breeze's attire 2:50 - Deontay Wilder 4:00 - Introducing Manny 7:50 - The Cage Mentality 17:00 - Responses from Manny and Breeze 35:00 - How do we break the cycle? 55:20 - Prayer --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Most people rave about the destination because it gives them a reason to keep striving. The journey actually encourages more people because it teaches us how to remain strong, even when the destination isn’t in sight. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

    How can you tell if the weight you’re carrying is strengthening you or hindering you? Physically, heavy weights can be a sign of endurance. Emotionally, a heavy heart can be a sign of burdens that we are not meant to carry. I’ve learned that God is willing to help me carry heavy weights whenever I’m willing to ask for it.

What happens when a boy doesn’t know how to treat women respectfully, because he never saw a man treating his mother respectfully? How can we encourage those who grew up without a father (or father figure) in a society that has diminished the true essence of manhood? I brought my father back for another episode to discuss the importance of masculinity, NOT the way we define it, but the way God ordained it. #TSM

    Today, I was joined by Larry Smith jr (IG: @lsmithii), Calvin Carey jr (IG: @kinghearted_cal), and Kenneth Loney jr (IG: @_mrkenlo). We reflected on the impact of this quarantine, particularly in the black community, while offering our perspectives on how we as Men can continue to uphold our faith, morals, and responsibilities during a crisis. “The first unaccomplished goal of the day is hitting the snooze button to an alarm you set the night before.” Many of us use the snooze button to collect ourselves for a few additional minutes before beginning our day, but the encouragement is to prevent forming a “snoozing” pattern in your life: never accomplishing goals on time, but always saying you’ll get them done eventually. Make the best of the time you have during this quarantine. Your future self will be extremely grateful for the mindset you learn to possess today! -TSM

    Today, I had a very in-depth discussion with my military brother and best friend, Matt Rajt. Our goals have always been similar, but our paths have always been different. Your upbringings, morals, principles, and values don’t make you any better or worse than anyone else. It just makes you different. A table of diversity only works if everyone at the table is willing to understand before being understood. When you can ask the right questions, it prevents you from assuming the wrong answers.

    Being selfless is a great attribute to have. It means you value the well-being of everyone you’re connected with. It’s just as important to understand that being selfless does NOT mean you place everyone else’s happiness before your own.

    Being a PK (preacher’s kid), I often get questioned, interrogated, and even ridiculed by peers. I openly answer any questions they have regarding the church. But to me clear and direct, being a PK does not mean I automatically agree with everything being done and said in the church. It’s quite contrary. The church has slowly turned into a court room, where people will be a judge of your sins, but a lawyer for their own. I’ve decided to bring my Father/Pastor (Larry A. Smith Sr) on this episode to discuss the hypocrisies of church. It’s better to hear it directly from a Pastor to remove the stigma of assuming all Pastors operate the same.
