Podcast appearances and mentions of al pete

Peace, Neighbors and Groovers. I'm here to present a special series of Clear Visions. If you've been following for a minute, you remember that I explained how I use this platform to experiment, create freely, and to inform the people of my thoughts and/or lessons I've come across.This series is informative, and in my opinion, a simply conversation. A conversation that I felt needed to happen, so why not put it in a podcast format? *shrugs*This three-episode series is about connecting the dots. It's an observation of how people have the proper situation to connect two resources, but for whatever reasons, it doesn't work. Now, on a good-bad day, I'll say that people be gatekeeping and hating, but on a reflective day, my first thought would be that people aren't aware of HOW to facilitate a connection. Enjoy the series. I hope this helps someone in their journeys. I more so hope that it helps that person that drops the ball when making said connection. Prayerfully, I'll have the other narrative shows done to present to you all...soon. #TOTHETOP******************Follow all socials and subscribe to Mr. Al Pete's website: https://mralpete.com and subscribe to The MPN Network website: https://mpn-llc.com. Instagram: @mralpete Threads: @mralpeteMPN YouTube: https://youtube.com/@alpete Substack: https://substack.com/@mralpete Discord: https://discord.gg/HVZCDEPY   Powered by The MPN Network*************************Follow The MPN Network socials and site below:Website: https://mpn-llc.comInstagram: @mpnmanagement Threads: @mpnmanagementFacebook: The MPN Network YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mpnmanagementDiscord: https://discord.gg/HVZCDEPY#mpnnetwork #blackpodcastnetwork #medianetwork  

Round 2 for the Neighbors and Groovers. In this episode, we're focusing on the gatekeepers and bridge builders. For me, I have moments where I don't want to admit that someone is simply gatekeeping a situation, a connection, and a new relationship forming. In this moment, we have to call the spade out. On the flip though, there are people who make sure the connections happen...and I want to make sure to point out what they ideally look like. It's easy to spot the bad (the gatekeeper) and miss the values of the good (the bridge builders). Let this be the reminder. See you on the final episode of this series. I hope you all are enjoying and learning from this. #TOTHETOP******************Follow all socials and subscribe to Mr. Al Pete's website: https://mralpete.com and subscribe to The MPN Network website: https://mpn-llc.com. Instagram: @mralpete Threads: @mralpeteMPN YouTube: https://youtube.com/@alpete Substack: https://substack.com/@mralpete Discord: https://discord.gg/HVZCDEPY   Powered by The MPN Network*************************Follow The MPN Network socials and site below:Website: https://mpn-llc.comInstagram: @mpnmanagement Threads: @mpnmanagementFacebook: The MPN Network YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mpnmanagementDiscord: https://discord.gg/HVZCDEPY#mpnnetwork #blackpodcastnetwork #medianetwork

Listen up, culture. We need to think more on who and why we're canceling so many people and situations. At this point, we're going to run out of people and things to cancel. Crowned ReRe and Mr. Al Pete are over canceling retail stores, actors, singers, and...everyone for that matter. Where does it stop?!?!*laughs*...with that, ReRe and Pete take this episode to go through a few circumstances where someone has been canceled...for a/all ridiculous reasons. They took the Cactus segment and made it the main section! Now, they also give their traditional Black Joy and A Rose is a Rose moments, but baybeeeehhh...they had to make it known about a few questionable cancellations.So culture...get rid of the stale bread and enjoy the show *laughs*!Stay connected and keep the flowers blooming.

Yep…I feel a way. Per usual and on brand, the people, or “community” didn't look out for me…on a simple term: to make sure I'm in places that fit me and my brand. So…Grits and Eggs Podcast came to Duval County and I tried to get media passes, and ultimately attend the event. No luck on the passes (no one answered back…from the pod to the venue, etc). No luck on buying a ticket…and to go further…no luck on my community getting me access to the event……but let me see something of worth to people. I'm on it. I'm not mad. I'm aware though. Anyway…Enjoy the show and thank you for listening to my second rant. *laughs*******************Follow all socials and subscribe to Mr. Al Pete's website: https://mralpete.com and subscribe to The MPN Network website: https://mpn-llc.com. Instagram: @mralpete Threads: @mralpeteMPN YouTube: https://youtube.com/@alpete Substack: https://substack.com/@mralpete Discord: https://discord.gg/HVZCDEPY   Powered by The MPN Network*************************Follow The MPN Network socials and site below:Website: https://mpn-llc.comInstagram: @mpnmanagement Threads: @mpnmanagementFacebook: The MPN Network YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mpnmanagementDiscord: https://discord.gg/HVZCDEPY#mpnnetwork #blackpodcastnetwork #medianetwork 

FFTC Gang! When you're alone in your room, do you stare at the walls? Does your conscious call? Does it tell you to cut on a RomCom? If so, does it tell you to cut on Just Wright or Deliver Us From Eva? *dies laughing*…well, you better watch both, and give it up for the Queens of RomComs: Queen Latifah and Gabrielle Union!!On this episode, Queen Crowned ReRe guides Mr. Al Pete and the audience through a moment in time when Queen Latifah and Gabrielle Union were casted for some of our favorite romance comedies. This was inspired by International Women's Month. Also, you know they had to go through their staple segments: A Rose Is A Rose, The Cactus, Tyler Perry sightings, and more. Enjoy the show and catch these laughs!

Greetings. What's the (or your) thoughts on wasting time with people, things, etc., vs. learning the lessons that come with wasting the time? A day prior to this pod, I was Positive Pete and thinking...'Pete, don't say you wasted your time...think better than that and say that you learned a lesson'. While recording this, I was not Positive Pete and said...'I really wasted my time with [said person/event/etc]'. With that, I stand on this being cool to think. I don't hold any heavy feelings to the things that wasted my time. I actually feel better with simply acknowledging that it happened. Now...the lesson that was learned the first time was enough for me to not do it again. On the flip, my humanitarian side kicks in and...at times...my time is wasted. *sniff*Enjoy the show and thank you for listening to my rants. *laughs*******************Follow all socials and subscribe to Mr. Al Pete's website: https://mralpete.com and subscribe to The MPN Network website: https://mpn-llc.com. Instagram: @mralpete Threads: @mralpeteMPN YouTube: https://youtube.com/@alpete Substack: https://substack.com/@mralpete Discord: https://discord.gg/HVZCDEPY   Powered by The MPN Network*************************Follow The MPN Network socials and site below:Website: https://mpn-llc.comInstagram: @mpnmanagement Threads: @mpnmanagementFacebook: The MPN Network YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mpnmanagementDiscord: https://discord.gg/HVZCDEPY#mpnnetwork #blackpodcastnetwork #medianetwork

Peace to you and yours. I'm here to share a lesson that I taught the students of my Intro to Mass Media class. This week, we're learning the history of mass media. For me, learning the history of said person, event, culture, etc. is important to me, but while growing up, history (or social studies) was my least favorite subject. I use to always ask…”why am I'm learning about unrelated things??” It wasn't until I took an African American History class in high school that made me enjoy learning where I came from, who came before me, etc. So I led with that energy while discussing the history of mass media. I pray it resonated with the students. With that, I shared with them how important it is to know the history of the things you're involved in, strive to be, and more. I took time after class to share with you all. I hope the same for you all. P.S. THANK YOU for the 2,500 downloads. I'm THANKFUL. More to come. #TOTHETOP ******************Follow all socials and subscribe to Mr. Al Pete's website: https://mralpete.com and subscribe to The MPN Network website: https://mpn-llc.com. Instagram: @mralpete Threads: @mralpeteMPN YouTube: https://youtube.com/@alpete Substack: https://substack.com/@mralpete Discord: https://discord.gg/HVZCDEPY   Powered by The MPN Network*************************Follow The MPN Network socials and site below:Website: https://mpn-llc.comInstagram: @mpnmanagement Threads: @mpnmanagementFacebook: The MPN Network YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mpnmanagementDiscord: https://discord.gg/HVZCDEPY#mpnnetwork #blackpodcastnetwork #medianetwork

OHHHH…Crowned ReRe and Mr. Al Pete got fancy on the culture…and did a episode…a week after the last one dropped?? Is the culture ok?? Is something wrong?? Of course not! Everything is cool, but in the past week, the culture has been POPPIN' BABY! ReRe found it appropriate to shine some Black Joy light on a few things that happened! They took time to acknowledge Lynn Jones-Turpin, a news reporter and the Associate Editor for the Jacksonville Free Press from Jacksonville, Florida that went viral for her comforting words during a press release to Liam Coem, the Jacksonville Jaguars head coach. OHHHH…some of the culture was BIG MAD about that…*clocks*!Next up, they give praises to Teyana Taylor's Golden Globes win, the snubs Sinners movie is and will be receiving. They elaborated on how to conquer these activities and possibly shaping the way the culture view these incidents. Lastly, ReRe and Pete visit Druski's mega church skit. It was…interesting *laughs*. Did he get it right? Was he out of order for this? Share those thoughts.Enjoy the show and look out for another show after this. They'll have an update on the culture…pretty sure of it! Stay connected and keep the flowers blooming.

It's been a week, Neighbors. Work through me, Lord. Thank goodness that I'm around a group of people that love the same thing I love: media and the communication field. It's been helping. In this episode, I give a rundown of what has occurred at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) 50th convention. I was there reppin' the Northeast chapter, as well as the NABJ Entrepreneurship Task Force. I had the opportunity to speak, moderate, conduct a meeting (all with the help of Shernay Williams, chair of the Task Force and our mentor, Brett Chambers). **a moment happened after this recording and it was excellent. I'll speak on it on the next go 'round** I also speak about how the city of Cleveland was welcoming to the organization hosting their convention there. They're screaming for more and I'm with giving it to the people! With that, most folks wasn't aware of NABJ's existence, so I spend time speaking about the importance of Black media. Last moves was spent on being a service to the underserved. It was a discussion that was touched on during a session. This thinking is important when creating a brand and it's a great way of living. This show is dedicated to my stepfather Griffin Young, Jr. I dislike 'step' in this case because he taught me everything. Rest in Power and you're truly missed.

Peace, Neighbors. I'll go into details later on where this is coming from, but I wanted to get this out to keep consistency going (even though I don't like the video...I'll explain that later as well) and I wanted to relieve my brain from ALL of the thoughts occurring. Share any thoughts in the comments about how you handle not taking things for granted. Talk soon. Be good to others and to yourselves. #TOTHETOP*********************************** Follow Mr. Al Pete socials and site below: Website: https://mralpete.com Instagram: @mralpete Threads: @mralpete Facebook: Mr. Al Pete YouTube: https://youtube.com/mralpete Substack: https://substack.com/@mralpete Discord: https://discord.gg/HVZCDEPY Powered by The MPN Network. *********************************** Follow The MPN Network socials and site below: Website: https://mpn-llc.com Instagram: @mpnmanagement Threads: @mpnmanagement Facebook: The MPN Network YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mpnmanagement Discord: https://discord.gg/HVZCDEPY

...I'm here...late and inconsistent *laughs*. In this round of talking, I talk about the lack of support I experienced from recent events I hosted. I give some points as to how to deal with not receiving love from people you expected to support you. FYI, it's not healthy at all to depend on people to support you. Please acknowledge the feelings that come with it, BUT, find ways to deal with it and keep fighting your way TO THE TOP...!!! I also speak on the recent defunding of public media and public radio. It's an unfortunate situation that Congress and yall president pushed, but there are ways to support your public stations in your city. The news and music that comes from these stations are important to have for communities to be informed. Take notes and read up on the article for more awareness: https://protectmypublicmedia.org. Enjoy and see you on the next 'round. *********************************** Follow Mr. Al Pete socials and site below: Website: https://mralpete.com Instagram: @mralpete Threads: @mralpete Facebook: Mr. Al Pete YouTube: https://youtube.com/mralpete Substack: https://substack.com/@mralpete Discord: https://discord.gg/HVZCDEPY Powered by The MPN Network. *********************************** Follow The MPN Network socials and site below: Website: https://mpn-llc.com Instagram: @mpnmanagement Threads: @mpnmanagement Facebook: The MPN Network YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mpnmanagement Discord: https://discord.gg/HVZCDEPY

This was an extension of my Thankful Thursdays thoughts and doings. I wanted to speak (more) about having, and ultimately finding gratitude in the things that surround us. Granted, it's very easy to focus on what factors aren't assisting specific systems and environments, but it seems difficult to find the small, or big things that serve us. In this state of things, we have to learn to lean more in what serves us greatly. Even if it's a little gesture. In this episode, I share my thoughts on how I show gratitude and grace to what I've been fortune to experience. Hopefully, it'll resonate with others.

Great day or evening, Neighbors and Groovers. This is a short one. I took an article that I wrote about this podcast and made it in an audio version. Boom for the short work...even though writing the article was quicker than recording it. Over on my Substack page, I'm writing articles about the numerous components that make up The MPN Network. I believe this is my fourth article that I've written. More will come, for sure. The plan is to write an article up until December 2025. We're celebrating the whole year in content creating style, and Clear Visions is definitely part of the reason why MPN exists. Again, if you read the article...cheers to 5 years of MPN and the creation of everything around it. Cheers as well to Clear Visions.
