You Good? With Mike Brown

“Well done is better than well said.” - Benjamin Franklin Thanks for listening. #YouGoodieMob Flow breakdown vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8h6IMYRoCZw&t=7s Michaela Coel Emmy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FI6kwRFRtU&t=28s Check out Lux DeVille: https://pvdmusic.bandcamp.com/album/lux-deville Check out the JWesley Collection: https://jwesleycollection.com/

This is the second to last episode of You Good. And it's one of the bests. I probably should leave on this, because it's raw and felt great to record. Instead, I'll come back with the major exit episode to complete the chapter and give something to the listeners and the community at large. Or, at the very least, plug my IG one last time. -Mike Follow @YouGoodPod @YoMikeBrown Music By @PVDMusic

New post! This episode's about living past 25 and the stigma that existed. Mostly from my perspective, but as I asked a friend about it, he never thought of it. So, there's my bit on it. Let me know what you think. I'm curious. -Mike Follow @YoMikeBrown @YouGoodPod Music by @PVDMusic

Whatttup! Here's the thing... I recorded a great episode, but I had the echo effect on. I'm remotely recording, used a different mic, it's a mess. So, I re-recorded a shortened version of it... and put the mess at the end. Choose your own adventure. This episode is about Systemic problems outside of your own therapy/mental health work and a lil' bit of Loki (No Spoilers!) Enjoy! -Mike Follow @YouGoodPod @YoMikeBrown Music by @PVDMusic

This episode is inspired by @THEAlishaNicole's tweet: "The hardest part of coming out of a anxiety/depression fog is coming back into reality. While you feel better you're instantly faced with the people and tasks you've neglected. No one talks about the guilt that comes along with that." I dig into that idea and how we can get out of it. Hopefully.

I got a guest! Rob Santos is a comedian from CT that I hit mics with back when I was starting out. Over the years we've developed a kinship of learning from each other and pushing each other. He's on the brink of recording his first special 860 and I wanted to get him on the pod for some promo and share my audience. I'm getting my best "The Daily" impression on to make the audio usable.

I'm talking about Kanye West and the presidential bid. It's a take you won't hear anywhere else and it's a great listen. As Kanye once said "My greatest pain in life is that I'll never be able to see myself perform live."
