As we launch into Season 7 of Entrepreneurial Appetite, I'm sitting down with one of my favorite co-hosts, Lloyd Kuykendoll, founder of Black Cabinet Education, to preview what's coming in 2026 and reflect on the books and conversations that are shaping our thinking.Lloyd shares the four books that changed his life this year: The Black Jacobins by C.L.R. James, I Have Avenged America by Julia Garfield (exploring the true legacy of Jean-Jacques Dessalines), The Wounded World: W.E.B. Du Bois and World War I by Chad L. Williams, and the rare bibliophile treasure Damn Rare by Charles Blockson. We dive deep into Du Bois—not just as an intellectual, but as a flawed human navigating mistakes like his controversial "Close Ranks" article, and how Anna Julia Cooper pushed him to write Black Reconstruction in America.I share my favorite interview from last season with Julius Garvey, Marcus Garvey's youngest son, discussing Justice for Marcus Garvey—an interview that happened just before President Biden pardoned Garvey.What's Coming in Season 7:We're previewing conversations with authors and entrepreneurs who are pushing the boundaries of Black economic thought:Dr. Rachel Laryea on Black Capitalists and what Pan-African business really meansTrey Baker and his blueprint for Black economic development in In the Black 2050Dr. Julia Gaffield on Dessalines and rewriting Haiti's narrativeOji and Ezinne Udezue, Nigerian-American tech leaders who wrote Building RocketshipsPlus book reviews of Banking on Freedom: Black Women in U.S. Finance Before the New Deal and Mentorship UnlockedLloyd reveals his dream interview: Dr. Greg Carr, Chad L. Williams, or Gerald Horne. I share mine: Demaurice Smith, former NFL Players Association executive director, on his book Turf Wars: The Fight for the Soul of America's Game.This season, we're also evolving—more live events, more book reviews, and a challenge for you: share your favorite episode with six people to help us grow this community of Black entrepreneurs, intellectuals, and dreamers.Lloyd closes with his powerful origin story—from being a "functioning illiterate" who feared reading aloud to building Black Cabinet Education, where his books became his greatest friends and his ancestors spoke back to him when he was lost.Welcome to Season 7.

Comedian Godfrey is joined by Dean Edwards, Eva Evans, Akeem Woods, Dante Nero, and Vishnu Vaka and have an intense, unfiltered conversation after a shocking video from Bangladesh sparks a heated debate. What starts as a discussion about mob violence quickly escalates into a deeper argument about context, historical trauma, race, religion, and why certain comparisons cross a line. The panel wrestles with false equivalencies, lived experiences, and how empathy can break down when history is ignored, before shifting into broader discussions on Black American trauma, immigrant assimilation, modern political rhetoric, culture wars, Hollywood gatekeeping, independent comedy, and Godfrey's special Rebel With a Cause, making this a tense, emotional, and unfiltered episode that moves from global news to personal experience and behind-the-scenes industry stories.Legendary Comedian Godfrey is LIVE from New York, and joins some of his best friends in stand up comedy, Hip-Hop and Hollywood to talk current events, pop culture, race issues, movies, music, TV and Kung Fu.

Okay family, pull up a chair because we need to talk. Washington State recently became the third state in America to fund a reparations study for African Americans, and it should be a moment to celebrate. The Legislature allocated $300,000 in seed funding, and the Washington Equity Now Alliance — a community-based organization doing the real work — raised another $450,000 to ensure this sacred study is done right. Governor Ferguson signed the law that spells out who’s qualified to lead the study: a PhD focused on reparations, peer-reviewed publications, expertise in calculating uncompensated slave labor, and lived experience. So far, so good, right? But here’s where it gets messy. The Department of Commerce is creating its own procurement rules, and its decisions are now preventing the community from securing qualified consultants for this work. Somehow, an “apparent successful bidder” has been named – a company called Truclusion that doesn’t appear to meet ANY of the legal requirements got through the procurement process — while the nation’s leading reparations scholar, an UCLA endowed chair and Howard University department head who literally wrote a BOOK on Reparations, was denied due process on a technicality when he asked for his legal right to a debriefing. How is the state this incompetent with something this important? Sisters Audrey and Melannie sit down with Attorney Jesse Wineberry Sr. — former five-term state legislator, first Black House Majority Whip in Washington’s history, and Chair of WENA — to break it down, shed light on the matter, and invite the community to take action. Somethin’ ought to be said. What say YOU?

He now must incur legal costs to challenge this injustice.

Hey lady! You know we’re all about our gentle growth and continuous improvement over here so we’re excited to share an episode that will help grow your toolkit for whatever life may bring your way.As we heal and process it’s common to notice where your childhood has yet again shaped your behavior and caused patterns that at one time seemed normal but now no longer serve you. Growing up in environments where our caregivers were doing the best they could with the tools they had means that we may not have always had the space to be your full self. And, if you grew up in a Black household it’s entirely plausible to not be allowed to feel your feelings and bury them instead.But, we’re grown now and you are not only allowed to feel your feelings but you are encouraged to and there are frameworks that can help. This week, Dr. Dom and Terri present the RULER method, a powerful tool that can help you make your way through difficult and complex emotions so that you can remain in your sovereignty and stand in your integrity.This five-step method can help you meet life as it comes, which will help you loosen the grip of needing to control life. Understanding your emotions offers you more choice in your experience, which can lead to feeling more stable, grounded and having increased capacity to feel the richness and beauty that life has to offer you. Using RULER in Real Life· Recognizing: “How do I know what I’m feeling? What signals does my body send?”· Understanding: “Where did this emotion come from? Is it layered with past wounds?”· Labeling: Talk about the power of language—using words like “disrespected” vs “angry.”· Expressing: “Who is safe to share this with? What’s an empowered way to show this?”· Regulating: Tools and tips (breathwork, journaling, therapy, movement, prayer, etc.)Quote of the Day:“If you don’t know what you’re feeling, it’s hard to know what to do with your feelings.” – Dr. Marc Brackett Goal Mapping Starter GuideCultivating H.E.R.

Send us a textPackers Exposed, Kill the Parlays, and Why LeBron's Legacy Is Bigger Than Hoops | @ConcreteGeniusPodDescription:Concrete Genius Pod — Sauce Mackenzie breaks down everything from Monday Night Football to manhood and mindset. He called it: Eagles 10–7 over the Packers. In this episode, Sauce explains why Green Bay's window might be closing, what the “Tony Dungy move” could mean for Matt LaFleur or Sean McDermott, and how NFL coaching cycles repeat themselves.Then we pivot to betting: the truth about parlays, why they build casinos (not your bankroll), and how to flip your money with discipline, patience, and strategy. No gimmicks. No 12-leg fantasies. Just real game from someone who's been in it for decades.From there, Sauce speaks on LeBron James and why his greatness extends far beyond the court — his leadership, his marriage, his fatherhood, and what it means to be a symbol of Black excellence in an era that craves humility over progress.Finally, Sauce closes with a powerful reflection on Gary, Indiana — the culture, the teachers, the unity, and why Black people must stop the jealousy and self-hate that's holding us back. It's an episode that blends sports, truth, accountability, and love for the community.What You'll Hear:Eagles vs. Packers recap and what's next for Green BayThe “Tony Dungy move” theory and coaching changes to watchBetting game talk: how to really win without chasing parlaysLeBron James' off-court greatness and family legacyGary, Indiana pride and the truth about Black unityTimestamps:00:00 – Intro and gratitude01:10 – Eagles vs. Packers breakdown05:30 – Is the Green Bay era over?10:00 – The Tony Dungy move and coach hot seats15:30 – How parlays build casinos25:00 – Betting discipline and bankroll growth33:00 – LeBron, Ali, and the standard for Black excellence42:00 – Gary, Indiana pride and breaking self-hate cycles50:00 – Closing thoughtsKey Takeaways:Smart bets risky bets.

In this radiant episode of Choosing Joy, host Deborah Joy Winans Williams sits down with the one and only Gabourey Sidibe—award-winning actress, director, and mother—to talk about choosing self-worth, navigating colorism, and embracing joy in a world that often tells you you’re not enough. From her unexpected journey into stardom with Precious to raising twins and reclaiming her own story, Gabby opens up with humor, honesty, and an unshakable spirit. She shares how her mother’s influence, her unconventional path into Hollywood, and her deeply grounded sense of self have kept her centered through fame, criticism, and cultural expectations. This conversation goes beyond celebrity—into what it means to love yourself loudly despite the noise. Expect laughter, real talk, a few tears, and a reminder that every person deserves good things. Whether you're an artist, a parent, or just someone trying to find peace in your own skin, this episode is for you. ✨ This is Choosing Joy at its most soulful and powerful.
