“Chasing greatness is grieving the person you once were.” Tyriq Withers Ryan, Channing and Fred chop it up with Tyriq Withers, a rising actor making his mark in Hollywood, for an honest conversation about perseverance, processing grief, risk taking and how his journey is proof that purpose doesn't always follow a straight line and what's meant to be will always be. The conversation starts off with a fun story of Tyriq, a Jacksonville native, sharing how his childhood idol was a FAMILIAR guest speaker he had as a kid in elementary school... one guess? And you already know Chan and RC had a field day with the age jokes of Freddy T being that guy 20+ years ago! A die-hard Jaguars fan excited for the playoffs, he also opens up on the special meaning behind wearing a custom made "144" Shedeur Sanders jersey and how the bible verse he had imprinted on the sleeve changed his thought process. Yes, his love of sports starts long ago and before stepping in front of the camera, Tyriq's first love was football as he walked on to Florida State where he was part of the Seminole team (along with Dalvin Cook and Derwin James) that won an Orange Bowl in 2016. Ball was his life and taught him discipline, resilience, and what it takes to perform under pressure. That foundation helped fuel his transition into acting, where he's now making waves starring in the upcoming film Him, along with roles in other notable projects. Tyriq breaks down his journey into acting, the sacrifices it took to chase his passion, and the mental resilience required to survive an industry built on rejection and uncertainty. From navigating auditions and staying grounded to defining success on his own terms, he shares what it really means to pivot when the path isn't guaranteed. He talks about what it was like working with Donald Glover, shares who is on-screen inspiration is and the full circle experience of learning from Marlon Wayans, who he admired growing up and then became a big brother to him during the filming of Him. But Marlon wasn't just an on-screen mentor, he also helped Tyriq navigate life during one of the darkest and difficult times after he lost his older brother unexpectedly and was met with a new wave of grief and responsibility he didn't know existed. Emotional and honest, Tyriq shares how he dealt with it while still being able to pursue his dreams and balance the success with managing deep pain. Pivoting from sports to Hollywood to betting on himself in an industry built on rejection, this episode takes a deep dive on staying grounded while navigating new levels of visibility and expectation. From embracing discomfort to redefining success beyond the scoreboard, this conversation goes deeper than credits and highlights. It's a powerful discussion about identity, faith, work ethic, and trusting the process — on and off the field.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1662"My father would wake up in the morning, study the Bible, say a prayer, rub his knees and look up to God like, 'how am I going to feed these 10 people today?' Then he'd go. And he'd come back with dinner." - Marlon WayansMarlon Wayans grew up watching his father combine faith with relentless action. Every single morning started the same way: Bible study, prayer, then that moment of looking up at God before figuring out how to feed 10 kids that day. His mother taught him something equally powerful but different: how to find joy in poverty, how to stay vulnerable when disappointments could easily make you bitter, how to love hard even when life is brutal. These weren't abstract lessons. They were daily survival skills that shaped everything about how Marlon approaches his work now. When Hollywood tells him to wait, when networks say they're booked until 2026, he hears his father's voice: don't wait for anyone to tell you you're ready.That mindset led him to self-fund his own comedy specials, film them on his terms, then license them to HBO and Amazon while keeping ownership. He's the guy who works three extra hours with his acting coach after a 14-hour shooting day because he refuses to show up unprepared. He drops a new hour of standup material every year, writing it live on stage while audiences think they're just watching a show. Most people fixate on what their parents did wrong. Marlon studied what they did right. That shift, that choice to extract wisdom instead of resentment from his upbringing, unlocked something fierce in him. His father taught him God and grit belong together. His mother taught him that joy is a choice you make, not a circumstance you wait for. Now he lives by a simple truth: everything is God, every closed door is redirection, and a thousand new doors are already open if you stop staring at the one that shut.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B, alongside super producer A-King and journalist Jayson Rodriguez, dives into a timely and layered conversation about the fine line between critiquing and hating — and how that distinction shapes modern culture, creativity, and discourse. The episode opens with an introduction and book promotion [00:00], followed by a warm welcome to Selective Ignorance [00:38] that sets the stage for an engaging and introspective discussion on the culture of critique and haters [00:57]. Mandii, A-King, and Jayson unpack the difference between constructive feedback and negativity, especially within the entertainment industry. Their conversation transitions into a broader dialogue on Black art and criticism [02:35], where they examine how cultural expression often faces unfair scrutiny compared to mainstream counterparts. The tone remains conversational yet insightful as they introduce the super producer [03:37] — with A-King adding a behind-the-scenes lens to the discussion — before diving into language learning and cultural references [04:16], exploring how global influences shape both art and perception. The hosts briefly pivot to Bad Bunny’s political commentary [06:16], discussing how artists use their platforms for activism and the public’s polarizing reactions to it. The energy stays dynamic as Mandii shares career updates and her new radio show [09:11], giving listeners a peek into her professional growth and reflections on navigating media spaces. This leads naturally into a deeper conversation about the music industry [16:24], the blurred lines between artistry and business, and the constant evolution of creative identity. As the dialogue progresses, the hosts examine the power of social media and public perception [21:35], analyzing how online platforms amplify both critique and hate. They consider the challenges artists face when every opinion becomes public property and every misstep a trending topic. The group transitions to expectations and criticism in art [28:23], exploring how audience bias, nostalgia, and personal preference influence what’s celebrated and what’s condemned. The conversation takes a cinematic turn as Mandii, A-King, and Jayson begin diving into film critiques [40:43], starting with Marlon Wayans’ film Him [41:39]. Mandii praises the project for its symbolism and layered themes [42:23], describing how it thoughtfully examines identity, faith, and self-reflection. The discussion briefly detours into football culture and American society [43:53], drawing parallels between competitive spirit in sports and the cutthroat nature of creative industries. Next, the team tackles critiquing the critics [46:27], reflecting on how discourse itself can become toxic — especially when audiences conflate differing opinions with hate. This meta moment sets up their review of Spike Lee and Denzel Washington’s ‘Highest to Lowest’ [52:49], where Mandii delivers an unfiltered yet thoughtful analysis of the film’s creative shortcomings and emotional intent. They analyze ‘Highest to Lowest’ in depth [56:15], exploring how execution, storytelling, and audience expectations intersect in shaping reception. As the discussion unfolds, they reflect on the art of critique and audience reactions [01:01:57], questioning whether social media has made honest conversation about art nearly impossible without backlash. The hosts then share their favorite films and personal preferences [01:13:43], grounding the discussion in a shared appreciation for storytelling and diverse perspectives. The episode wraps with final thoughts and an outro [01:19:17], where the trio emphasizes the value of open-mindedness, empathy, and balance when engaging with art — reminding listeners that critique, when done with care, is an act of love, not hate. “No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!Sale Link Follow the host on Social MediaMandii B Instagram/X @fullcourtpumps Follow the guest on Social Media Hey Assante Instagram @heyassante Follow the show on Social MediaInstagram @selectiveignorancepodTiktok @selective.ignoranceX/Twitter @selectiveig_podSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
