Queen Ruby Lee is back and before I could put together my thoughts on how to approach this episode; I had to go back to listen to Episode 31: Burn The Ships where she expresses that you have to go for what you want and rid yourself of any back up plans. I find a lot of value in hearing Ruby detail her experiences. She is one of the few professional actresses I know. She explains understanding her position in our fight for equality and going back to who she is with blogging and writing; she explains the auditioning process (34:20), the celebration of the 4th of July (29:50) and her take on leadership (52:10)! On this episode people should take (7:54) that if you could fathom the thought its possible! Creativity Comes from experiences... (16:24), what songs on your mind!?

Let me start out by asking you this, do you have 33 minutes to spare. I purposely made this episode short to reel you in and get you caught up with the previous now 16 episodes. I am only speaking on the episode from 56 to 72 because that when I pulled out the big guns. There are no features today, its just me! On this episode people should take (5:38) that I drop a podcast EVERY Tuesday at 6 PM Central Standard Time. Creativity Comes from experiences... (6:58)I felt in my gut that there was a possibility of getting sick and I didn't want to make my wife or anyone sick because I had a goal in mind! For the songs that are on my mind!? (20:50) I'm going to go with Still Feel Me by Jadakiss and Sacrifices by Fabolous in lieu of the Verzuz battle that happened yesterday and finally with 185 days left (22:24) I plan on writing out this script!

Its Tuesday again and I'm back; this time with a different twist. My podcast is predicated on talking to creatives. I haven't done a decent job of seeking all varieties of creatives because at times creation for me involves art. Everyone isn't an artist and creativity can be more than just art. Today's guest is a father, businessman and brother of mine. In a few words, James is a product of his environment who made it out and used his experiences both good and bad to create a better life for him and his daughter! On this episode, James tells us what people should take (6:51), which is to never give up; creativity comes from experiences (12:56), where he details how being unemployed and refining his resume but receiving rejects made him create an opportunity by being inquisitive and forming a DBA; what songs on his mind (33:57) for James Black Parade by Beyonce and Otherside of America by Meek Mill and for me Diamond Chandeliers by Tre Rogers; and lastly We have (insert number of days left) days left (50:45). I also play Echol Remix's "You" during the segment Is it A Vibe (19:32). This episode is also dedicated to my son! I love you John Ross Dike II bka Baby D rest in paradise/Heaven!

Happy Juneteenth Ladies and Gentlemen. I told you all Pierre Simon would be back in June and I'm a man of my word! This is a serious episode, less air horns and more conversions, no music and more dialogue. This is the state of the culture no pun intended! In episode 68: Against All Odds I stated that we would be back in this moment of mourning another black soul lost! Two days later Rayshard Brooks was shot dead in ATL! On this episode, Pierre and I talk about Atlanta Lose, Lose Position (2:36, 9:11, 18:53), Outward War vs Inward Battles (22:22, 31:14, 39:47) and Dear White People (45:52, 58:21) We recognize that change is due to come but in order to change we have to take the steps to addressing the problems head on. I feel like these kind of episodes help push the range of my conversation. I thank Pierre Simon for urging me to open up and utilize my platform to address what is going on in our nation.

I have to give a lot of credit and express my gratitude to Cleon Solomon III for allowing me to record my podcast in his establishment! It was at LFTP studios that I met Torrance and Nick. Nick and I exchanged information with hopes to have a conversation soon about the movie that they were getting scored and we finally converse right before their Juneteenth premiere! The word relatability is used throughout the episode. I'm reminded what a journey to debuting a premiere can be. Torrance a graduate from HCC Town Country and the Texas Southern University was fired from his moms job and began his journey into film making. Nicolas his colleague was given an opportunity to become an actor. On this episode, people should take!? (11:47) the issue of relatability and that reality is incorporated into each character, Creativity comes from experiences... (21:14) where Torrance states that being fired from his moms job and enrolling into community college helped him start his career. He continues by saying that the idea of Vitiates is 13 years old and lastly We have (insert number of days left) days left (56:33) where they both would like for the film to be picked up!

A product of his environment, my VIRGO brother has elevated to a point in life where his story needs to be told. I believe that telling Yolan that he is a phenomenal actor is not doing him Justice. Watching him become the characters he's portrayed further exemplifies how is upbringing cultivated him! I want to say its an honor to know him and have acted across from him! On this Episode, people should take (8:33) that he was born into gang violence and that poetry and spoken word gave him an escape, Creativity Comes from experiences (14:23)... where he attributes taking the track shoes off and running in your own lane. What songs on your mind!? (36:44) for Yolan Shed a Tear by Nipsey Hussle, DNA by Kendrick Lamar, Anderson.Pakk and Public Enemy.

Strange times that we're in. Everything needs to be calculated, planned and well thought out. Strange times that we're in when déjà vu occurs every day now. The déjà vu in seeing that yet another black man has been killed. Kalaiah describes this recurrence as trauma porn! On this Episode, people should take (10:33) where she states that the experiences that we are facing as black people should come out in our art and We have (insert number of days left) days left (53:47), where she states that in telling George Floyd's story a creative should begin with how black kids are raised!

I want to start out saying that my condolences to the family of George Floyd! We say that all the time, yet I believe that as a society we're quick to react and not inquire first on how the family feels! Rest In Peace King, your family, Cuney Homes, 3rd ward and Houston, TX understand what we lost. May your soul rest eternally in paradise. There is no question that the issue of race and what those racial injustices have done to the African American mentality lingers like a foul stench. Is rioting the solution!? Some would agree. Is looting the solution!? Some would agree. I don't agree with acts of violence because the focus moves. Pierre a published author who graced The Whats Next!? Podcast on episode 33 entitled The Rise of the Phoenix is back to educate people. We did things a little differently this episode guy. We spoke on what people should take (6:16), for the what songs on your mind (1:02:08) segment today I played The Niceguys record entitled "Bloodshed" of the Green Room EP all episode.

I reference my first time is California a lot. I believe it to be a life changing experience for me! Not only did my homegirl Ajia Munns hold me down in a way i can never forget but I was able to say I have been been to California! It was a cool night if my memory serves me correctly when I pulled up to a McDonald's drive thru in Northridge, CA a suburb outside LA. It was there I met Marco Lopez a Jazz Musician. I told him I had a podcast and asked if he would check me out! He told me he would and almost a year later we have managed to stay in contact.

My first time in LA was quick. To quick to recollect but long enough for me to do four episodes of the podcast. If I could have linked with Sandra that would have been five. I am glad that things happen when they are supposed to happen in that I didn't link with Sandra and now here she is on the podcast! An event planner who didn't feel that she was valued back home found a job in NYC and with a great friend by her side, moved to Jersey City, NJ to fulfill a dream! When she met her ceiling, she looked to either return home or move somewhere else. Houston still didn't have jobs so she called on another friend and found herself in LA. LA is now home for her but she will always be a Houston chick! On this podcast, we talk about What people should take in regards to Sandra's journey (5:53), Creativity comes from Experiences (17:27), What Songs on your mind!?

This is what I intended this platform to be! A place of refuge for a creative to come and detail the journey towards creating their hearts desire! As God is my witness, every time I link up with my people, my contemporaries, I level up. For that I got to say THANK YOU! When my son passed last year, Kenedi and Damaria appeared on the show.

The stigma of Therapy has plagued the African American community for decades. With the passing of the NBA Legend Kobe Bryant, the issue of Mental Health is a prevalent question. Three African American women who are pursuing their doctorate degrees came together to for a podcast called On The Couch. They stress the importance of Therapy in the African American community as well as define the differences between Mental Health vs Mental Illness; the former being how you feel and the cause and the latter the result of staying in that state of mind.

The last episode of the forties goes to my people Blackbluez and Courtney Elaine. They have begun the process of starting their podcast entitled Birthing Truth Podcast. The name of their podcast came from the classic 90's show A Different World! We talk about the inception of it and how they strategically came up with segments to highlight their extraordinary relationship! They site me as the mind who gave breathe into the possibility of them starting their podcast! The Birthing Truth Podcast is where individuals can give their naked, honest and unvarnished truth. We discuss their own truths, the songs that's on their mind, what people should take away from the podcast, what they hope to attain in the 340 days remaining in the year and what fear they had to let go of to be able to be able to create their podcast!

I have to admit, in thinking about my target audience, I believed in my core that a portion of it was the students I teach! They didn't seem to find value in my podcast. Let me say the majority didn't but there are students who listen to the music I do that like the podcast! True story I coach high school basketball and there is an athlete that said he wrapped! I was a skeptic until we were weight training and I heard a track of his! I was jamming so I said he needs to be on the podcast! Welcome ADRIAN ZUNIGA. I ask him what he wants people to learn about him is that he is going to work hard for it! He wants to prove to the haters and people that didn't believe in him that he will eventually get it done! He hails from the historic neighborhood of Acreshomes and began rapping from a suggestion his father made! (6:02)! Adrians goal is to get his music to the top and sites his influences as Slim Thug and X-ro. We talk about his music, the length of his records, his upcoming music and all.

You're going to want to listen to this episode this go round rather than to watch it because the visual was cut short; that's my mistake. If you are reading these episodes notes, I started out asking Eli what he wanted my fans (yes fans) or listening audience to take from the podcast concerning Him. He said that he had the courage to stick with something and see it all the way through, he stuck with whatever he wanted to do. He never looked a failures as if they were failures. He looked at failures as learning experiences and something that he could build on for the next thing! Eli wrote Teach like a Christian to Inspire teachers in Christ. He states that he was a good writer in 4th grade! I find out that Stumbling Blocks (33:08) was his favorite chapter in the book! He reference script by saying that “Wow to those who actually bring the stumbling blocks.” A stumbling block from the conversation I gathered is a hinderance! Something that we subconsciously teach kids! Stumbling blocks is a chapter that highlights what the individual does in the hinderance of kids! He states that with 354 days left he wants to inspire teachers! Most importantly He tells us Whats Next!? This episode is dedicated to my son!

Happy New Year and welcome back to the podcast! I’m going back to my roots with the podcast; the very reason why I decided to get out of a studio is the very same reason I need to get back out in the environment! I learn a little bit about marketing 101. Marketing is being yourself! Marketing is getting a consumer to want to do something! Branding is what you see marketing is what you do! We sit and talk about her influences, I learn that she works out of quarters instead of looking at the full year. So in the next 87 days she wants to roll out her next event, do her next IG master class, rolling out an e-book as well as initiate her public speaking!

I have been told before that I have a nice voice! I in turn have agreed subconsciously and have echoed the same sentiment about others. I remember meeting Zen Ase at the I Am A Survivor Seminar sometime earlier this year and I thought; Yo her voice is nice! I approached her after the show and introduced myself saying "Your Fathers are not disposable piece was incredible" I went on to say, "I think you have a beautiful voice; I do a podcast and would love to have you on sometime!" Well the moment is finally here! Meet Zen Ase a spoken word artist from the great city of Houston! We talk about her beginnings in poetry and how she started her LAUGHZ AND LYRICS show. She performs two pieces called "My Name is Zen Ase" (8:40) and "Fathers are not disposable" (28:39) which by the way will be posted on my instagram later today (12/24/19)! In my name is Zen Ase, she details the origins of her name and sites that in college people enjoyed her voice! She mentions finding purpose in her life during the time! Its the way she performs her poetry that has me locked in. She just flows as in speaks and it sounds like she personalizes it! Get Zen, Stay Zen, Spread Zen is her slogan and her show is an escape she claims! We talk about branding through Merch, we talk about the late great Nipsey Hussle, we talk about the award I was nominated for on Malcolm X day and more during Get Zenned! Then she tells us Whats Next!? This episode is also dedicated to Victor Cyrus a Performer that Zen Ase knew who committed suicide and my son!

Ladies and gentlemen I'd like to introduce Skytop & Evo, together they form The Midnight Watcherz. Their mission is to bring reviews of various media outlets to your front door! My brother who I reference a lot in my work mentioned his a little brother Evan before and told me he wrote films.

I know without a shadow of doubt that episode 41: South Tower is the best Episode I have done this year. I will have my wife on the last episode of 2019 so for sentimental value that episode will be great! Listen if you don't know who I am, allow me the opportunity to introduce myself. I'm John Ross I, I came up in the college scene and one of my biggest influences musically was The Niceguys a super hiphop group formed at the University of Houston. One of the members of the group made his first beat at my apartment back in the day! He would go on to create more beats and be apart of a conglomerate that would set the University Houston campus a flame.

Finally out of the 30's, I'm back on the Whats Next!? podcast in my father's office. This week I talk to the illest poet in Houston, TX. He sites the likes of Maya Angelou and Saul Williams as the celebrity poets; along with Houston's Spit Kodak and Self the poet as local poets that motivate him. You may have heard Courtney and me reference him in episode 39; so we had to bring Vincent "Blackbluez" Johnson out! We find out that Bluez has been writing since he was younger and a piece he turned into his teachers became the blueprint to his classmates. It was there that Blackbluez found his gift! His song on his mind during the episode was Fear by kendrick Lamar (19:51). I went with K.O.S. (Determination) by Black Star and Lately by Tyrese. Blackbluez spits his "Identical" (21:05) piece where he states that the motivation to write it came from Caucasian people telling him he looks identical to every black actor. So he decided to write the poem according to that association. Vincent explains how to get more recognition as a poet. He gives us a snippet of the poem that is brings acclaim in Houston! Due to wanting to keep the traffic in one place we will only play a minute of Fabric of my Life (29:50)! The rest can be viewed here https://youtu.be/i3_s-YJ1I5c; on the Write about Now youtube page! Vince talks about his relationship with Courtney and Jala! We talk about the remaining 36 days in the year. Then He tells us Whats Next!? This episode is also dedicated to my son!

There are not many people that match your hustle. I use that statement in reference to Helen Hadnot- Williams aka Mz Blue because if there were a female me it would be her! She's always grinding, always promoting but most importantly she's always supporting. It's a pleasure to have her back on the podcast and we sit and talk about her radio show and her hit single "Go Off". I chose to do this podcast in The White Room so see if I could connect two emcees together. We talk about the change in her Social Media handles, making 2020 a better year, her new direction and Whats Next!? for Mz Blue. This episode is also dedicated to my son!

I'll do what I need to do to remain consistent that means getting my projects together to talk about them with you when I do the podcasts by myself. The immediate thing thats next for me is BEING A BETTER HUSBAND. I have to admit I'm not the best because as a creative I'm always focused on what I need to do to get better. Truth is my wife has given me everything a man could want and more! My Father always said a word is enough for the wise. I love you Kiz! Everything I do is no longer for me.

Through The Artist's Eye; I talk to Julie P White a musician photographer from Montreal, Canada! Julie is the first photographer to grace the Whats Next!? podcast. We get off into her love for photography and find out that it started out as a hobby! Julie states that her biggest support and the first person she shot a picture of was her husband Oscar White. He bought her her first Canon camera for her Christmas gift; she then went on to shoot upcoming rappers (@beeisthefuture & @bongiethayungn).

We discuss tempesttlives.com (9:23) & (14:34) and it being the one thing that she is doing for herself. A part of Tempestt being my editor like I said in Resiliency (Episode 23) is that she is there to redirect my projects.

Collegiate athlete, Pageant winner and now published author. H.B. Pierre Simon Jr. more frequently referred to as Pierre Simon is a dude I knew in college from days of playing intramural in the recreation center! The part that i didn't know is that over the course of 10 years, he was writing a book. He said "I wrote a book for 10 years." I was honored to sit across from this creative and relish in his accomplishments. Creativity though abstract is a fun thing to try once you have your direction. Pierre stated that he didn't write a word without inspiration and that his travels from 2007 until helped cultivate his experiences. We talk the reason for writing the book, when he decided to publish it and his end goals. He describes the purpose of naming the book The flight of the phoenix and imparts advise to inspiring authors. We also find out that there will be a book 2 and 3.

I’ve been back in the city for a while! Truthfully I only spent a couple days in LA and it really wasn’t work it was me enjoying what I aspire to do in life! Simply put I want to make money through Still Visionary, Inc. This episode was recorded in The White Room at LFTP studios... “The Pentagon.” Let me start out by saying that Edric and I will be connected for life and after as well and now Three and I share that same bond! Edric is a Lodge brother of mine! We are active members of Kings of Israel #19 AF & AM (5:30). He made it a point to consistently reference his childhood brother who was the emcee in their crew. I listened to Three and became of fan not only because of the talent but because of constant reminder of his skill level! We talk about Three’s inception! He attributes everything to Sunnyside, TX. He attributes his skill to the Southside legend Lil KeKe, Jay Z, Nas and a few others. The strongest part of their bond is the non yes man role that Edric plays. Three doesn't hesitate to state that Edric was there helping him every step of the way! He credits Edric for the constant push. I would have been remised not to mention that I have been a fan of Three's for a while that in August I texted him to congratulate him on CREATING LFTP studios and he politely states that he couldn't have completed the studio without the help of Edric. Three explains difference between a Boss and a Leader (1:12:00)! It feels good to be back in Houston for another episode. This episode is also dedicated to my son!

I took my podcast to the entertainment capital of the world. I took my podcast to Los Angeles "L.A." I want that to sit for a minute and soak in. My podcast has no MAJOR sponsors yet, it's independent; it's self produced, black owned and its the number one podcast in the city of Houston! I took it to L.A. and I linked up with FOUR AFRICAN AMERICAN women who are nothing short of amazing. This episode is the fourth podcast of the four that I will drop from my L.A. run! Circa 2014, I had completed my first independent. I had done the stage play four times and when it came time to level up a young women auditioned and got the lead role. Her name is Ruby Lee Dove II. I remember telling her its your time and that she's in that position for a reason! She went on to get an agent and move to LA. She sites that the move to LA was due to the fact of stagnation! She sites that you have to come to LA as an actor and not an aspiring actor! If you cant get the role create it (24:30). We talk about her 1944 project (26:11) under her production company Life After Life. The project was about the wrongful death of an African American kid named George Stinney Jr. by electric chair (27:10) in 1944! She talks about the time spent writing 1944, the amount of drafts written for 1944 and finally the perception of 1944 when it premiered! We look at the very first project she booked when she moved to LA and Ruby gives a bit of advice to young women of color who may follow her foot steps! This is the last episode from my LA run. The knowledge and conversations i had with these four African American women is indescribable. All I can say is thank you for your time! Again I am so appreciative of Ajia and the extended arm she gave me with the previous three podcasts. This episode is also dedicated to my son!

I took it to L.A. and I linked up with FOUR AFRICAN AMERICAN women who are nothing short of amazing. This episode is the third podcast of the four that I will drop from my L.A. run! In this episode I sat with JaNae Thomas of Glamorous Drinks and we chop it up about her journey! One thing that I have to point out is that JaNae mentions in the interview that she's not the type of person who knows what she's gonna do next! She sites listening to God and seizing the moment as to how she came up with Glamorous Drinks. I enjoyed the honesty in JaNae's conversation because with being a creative your journey can be abstract at times. She sites the current general manager at Pappasitos Paul Vaughn and Jr Martins and key contributors to her growth in bartending and customer service and upscale hustling inside the club on bottle services. Again I am so appreciative of Ajia Munns and the extended arm she gave me with not only this podcast but episodes 28 and 29 as well. This episode is also dedicated to my son!

It’s story time! By yours truly. “How Does It Feel Living In A Delusion” is a creative way of pointing out the way our society accepts and promotes being at odds. We see it in people, things, places, companies, and so on. The episode just ends like one of Tierra Whack songs because I alone don’t have the answers. The answer is in unity, it takes all of us to make a change. So wake up! Produced with Still Visionary inc.

This week I with another Texas Girl who unlike Ajia Munns from Episode 28: L.A. Inspired (Creativity), is a Writer and was a fellow educator like myself. She states that although she had a high paying job and the group of kids that would prove to be great scholars she wasn't fulfilled! She sites that attending a church different from her family church became her inspiration to move to L.A. so she gave everything away and set out for what Ajia called 'The Lonely City'. During this L.A. run the commonality of these episodes is that they are all from TX and moved for a better opportunity! We find out that Kalaiah is a poet and that she no longer claims to be just a screen writer! She now prescribe top being open to everything!

This episode is the first podcast of the next four that I will drop in L.A.; so its like your first child going off to college parents. (Rest in Peace to my boy BABY D!) My first stop in Tinseltown was to a college friend. Ajia and I were psych majors at the University of Houston. The gems that Ajia gave on this episode were priceless! Gems such as the best advice that she got as an actress was to keep acting or If you want to act you Must act in stage plays, theater or college films! Which doesn’t strictly pertain to living in LA! She broke LA down into three things 1) the Culture of LA which would be that everyone has a relative who knows someone in the film industry whether it be directly or indirectly! She mentioned that film as well as the up incoming actor feeds the city of L.A. 2) the Fantasy of LA meaning it’s not as glamorous as people would think and the tourist spots become watered down as you as the Actor begins to deal with the grind of LA and 3) the Basic survival of LA in it being a dog eat dog mentality! She refers to LA as the Lonely City and her advice to those embarking on an acting career is to get your head shots, get a reel for to the film schools on college campuses and be in the student films and market online! We talk about her podcast Stories & Poems Podcast on SoundCloud and Apple Podcast. A fact I was reminded of was that’s the opportunity is far greater in LA! She tells me what brought her out to LA and states that she’s out there for a reason and LA isn’t home!

I spoke about support in episode 26, I think its quintessential to the growth of an artist on the independent level. With that said I am an avid listener to Harold's podcast on Thursdays! From the first day I was invited to come to the live airing, I loved the way that they incorporated the audience and their topics. It takes a lot to talk about the pop culture and in the great city of Houston He and his cohosts are leading the way! Harold is originally from San Diego, CA and packed up to attend Grambling State University. Upon completion looked up rental amounts and decided to move to The Loan Star State (14:30)! Harold sited that the process of building your brand is what Houston allowed Him to do and his advice to Houston actors specifically is to build your brand here (16:00)so that when you move to the New York's, LA's or Atlanta's you're not starting from the bottom! In LA all you need is one shot, in Houston you can self build! Harold created the 1989 Dreams Productions and they have a 90's theme party at the Midtown Art Center on September 6-8, 2019, tickets are available online at the link below. Again, Harold I have to say thank you for sharing your platform! Thank you for acknowledging my strength in a delicate time in my family's life! To anyone who has buried a loved one more especially a child, know that I pray for you all daily! We may have never met but we are in the same boat! God be with you!

I swear to y'all I will be a pro at this in the near future lol. My editor's url address is https://www.tempesttlives.com. not org! My fault T! I love what I do, there hasn't been one creative that I brought on that hasn't felt the same about themselves and what I am doing! I'm a very perceptive person! In this lane, I am constantly watching and looking out for the creatives! That's when I peeped what Monique was doing! She's a U of H Delta who graduated with a Communications degree! She sites that from the age of 9 she always wanted to write! She wrote a book entitled The Graduate and polished it up! She sent me the refined version and that version is what our discussion was about! I found the piece to be descriptive! I found that Monique writes as if she is a well known author and during the conversation I heard how trained she is and what helped her get to this point in her career for example being certified to ghost write. This isn't a book review but more so an opportunity to invoke praise in a powerful creative! A woman of purpose Monique stated that she will hang up her hat on writing her own projects to become more focused on screen writing! I want to interrupt this description to say that The vocalist and R&B powerhouse Damaria gave me her blessings to play her video on my podcast! Y'all know I love her EP, I love her music and I gotta play her stuff on my podcast! Enjoy that video y'all (33:36)! Its a blessing to sit and talk with Monique like I said I've been watching her creatively! There was no perfect episode to put her on I'm grateful that she came out even though I was tardy! Monique states that she outlines before she starts to really write (45:30)! Big ups to Fela Monique's husband and my wife Kizzie! This episode is also dedicated to my son!

Episode number 25, wow I'm getting up there! Let me start out by saying that this is the first official episode to be dropped on SPOTIFY; yes on Spotify so stream this there if you are on the go or chill and watch me here on my channel or my website! So, welcome, this episode is all about the relationships that we cultivate. I wanted Coach Waller to be my first guest because I felt that the relationship is the key component to partnerships and was what you would see in each episode!

I have learned so much about that sport and grown to understand the complexity of it. Her slogan is "I help people heal their relationship with themselves to heal their relationship with others" which means that the change has to come within you! She sites child hood experiences as the cause for present day behavior. She speaks on how to she was able to monetize he creativity. There are so many gems in this episode.

I want to start out with a correction, my mother's birthday is the 4th not the 5th and this episode dropped today 08/06/19 which is my brothers birthday! So happy birthday to my brother Bobby and happy birthday to my mother, Virginia! Welcome to episode 24! On this episode I sit with Michael Aigbedion of The Waterboys. I keep reiterating this, if you read up to this point you need to block out time to initially stream this episode. Around the one hour and one minute mark the video cuts off. That means that the convo went over a certain point. Listen I have know Michael for some time now. When I met him initially, I knew that he was a little ahead of me. I won't say US because I don't want to offend my homeboys or anyone! I think the most important thing of this episode is that Michael attributes his success to his mother (10:55 & 24:39)! I find out that his mother who was in business guided his thoughts into business. When he talks about The Waterboys (22:41 & 26:26) it was a flyer that started the process of his mobile car wash! Mike's biggest lesson (29:43)"Not everything you give to somebody, like people are ready for" There are so many gems in this episode. Mike I think you are ahead of your time! I am honored to know you and also to call you my friend! I appreciate you!! This episode is also dedicated to my son! I love you John Ross Dike II bka Baby D rest in paradise!

I had to record fresh from NYC so that the residue was still on me. NYC was amazing and beautiful as always and the greatest part of that experience was that I got to spend it with the most important person in my life, MY WIFE! 'Where you walk, love, I kiss the floor'.This is a very emotional episode for me. During the duration of Whats Next!? I have spoken about my son abundantly. On June 25, 2019 my wife and I laid him to rest! My son taught me a lot, I recollect back to how I started off the description in episode 19: ["Resilience is very different than being numb. Resilience means you experience, you feel, you fail, you hurt, You fall. But, you keep going." Resiliency! That’s the word that I have been hearing in my head! Thinking of my son, I recollect on how resilient he was! In the face of doubt and he never gave in! My hero, everything I do is for him Rest In Peace John Ross Dike II... 05/20/19-06/25/19!] It's important to be the best at whatever you do in life! No matter what be the best so that you know without a shadow of doubt that you gave it your all! This is episode is my best episode thus far because I didn't hide from my emotions I utilized them! Man, my son could have been anything he wanted in life! That belief will plague me forever but GOD heals all things in time and I am at peace with Baby D having served His purpose!

Episode 22 I left Lewisville, TX and went to Dallas, TX to talk to a woman who i have personally watched grow up! I feel connected to her family because I was one brothers groomsman, i went to another brothers wedding and I love the other brothers music. Destiny and I talk about Destiny Unveiled. I find out some intimate things about Destiny and also shared the tragic experience of loosing my son! Let me begin with creatives gone create, Destiny sites being broken as a life circumstance that led her back to Dallas. It was in Dallas, that Destiny Unveiled came into fruition. Uncovered or unveiled is what came to Destiny from the Lord. Their mission is to see women walk in freedom! This episode is also dedicated to my son!

Episode 21 I'm in Lewisville, TX with Ade and Brie Ogundipe! Together they run Addy Daddy Seasoning. Let me begin with creatives gone create, I think its important to say that a key ingredient to my podcast is I like to go into the creatives home and do the podcast in their space. I do that for a couple of reasons, 1) I feel that some of the energy in the room touches me; I get to see how the creatives moves in their personal space. Do they have kids, do they live alone, etc. 2) I want the creative to not have to move much when they come on. I want them to be comfortable! Ade sites that discovering that he had high blood pressure pushed him to work out more consistently! He went from Tonys Chachere's, to Mrs. Dash to Webbers but still felt it was salty. Ade ordered bulk of seasonings grind it by himself! He smoked his own turkey and according to him it came out good. Ade sites that he loves to cook but doesn't like all those ingredients and His goal is for people to get the flavor without all the saltiness. One thing I love is that Brie and Ade work jointly to produce this creation. He spoke on the fact that there were no obstacles in bringing her on! She was a 100% in from the jump. I find out that Ade was against sample packs! God is Grand remember that! This episode is also dedicated to my son! I love you John Ross Dike II bka Baby D rest in paradise!

I am finally out of the teens! Here it is, Episode 20 and I recollect of the emotion Nas had in Time is Illmatic when he had completed his debut and He said and I quote "Here it is, this is song number 1" except this isn't an album but the 20th episode of my podcast. Its surreal because of where I came from. I wanted to express this is the show credits for Love Overdxse (Ep 19), but I had other feelings for that episode. On this episode, I speak to the second Booker T. Washington Alumni to be on my podcast! Rodney and I have been going back and forth about doing this episode for 2 months. Timing and everything is critical. We speak about the authenticity of his IG page verses his gym (7:30). He sites Primetime 3000 for the imaginary and ability to capture the most intricate moments while his trainers are MOTIVATING, COACHING, INSPIRING and CORRECTING actions of his clients. I was captivated by the gym for the simple fact that there are individuals in HOUSTON who have come from ground up to create visions that have changed their lives! His level of professionalism inspired me to speak more eloquently. He recollects on journey and sites that he worked for a few gyms (13:50) and upon meeting a client whose father was working as a regional manager for precision drilling (14:45)! That clients father would later give Rodney a job and that's where Rodney got his financial backing but his passion for fitness had him purchasing a piece of equipment every time he when to a Walmart. Rodney constantly site his faith as the source that provided him opportunity after opportunity! The most important thing that Rodney said was that you have to make up in your mind you that you can do it. It starts with the preparation of your mind! (22:00) God is Grand remember that!

In Purpose, which is episode 14 of my podcast I was introduced to Damaria, Kenedi (Sir Ja Monét) gave me an EP. That EP is entitled Love Overdxse, I listened to Love Overdxse twice and was connected to it! That EP is what this episode is about. We dive into it. We listen to the music and zone out! The first track that we talk about is Questions (17:37) I randomly played it on Purpose (EP 14), there was a visual (19:42)! We learn about the intro track Damn Pride (24:56) and find out that that was how the EP got its name! Never Find Another (41:27) was a woman’s declaration for a man to understand that she is unique and irreplaceable and she’s not with the bs so put up or get out the way! Friday Night (42:51) “A crowd favorite” Damaria states is an interlude which left me wanting more but I find out that the beat was created like that! Thinkin (47:44), my favorite record on the episode features the only hip hop artist on the EP. Damaria credits the fact of she and Jamie Hancock going to PV together as a source to their compatibility! We didn’t get to the segment ‘Songs On Your Mind’, to be honest I forgot about it and the video was cut short because i ran out of space on my SD card, everything happens for a reason! I realize that this episode may be too long but there was no wasted second this episode, I took my time working this episode so I could fix every concern I had! This is the best one I have done and I’m grateful to be apart of her story! God is Grand remember that! This episode is also dedicated to my son!

I love what I do! I know that that’s the case because I’ll work a millions job to be able to have an opportunity to be an artist! The last couple of years I learned a few things about myself! The most intriguing thing is that I am resilient! You give me the resources and I will find a way to get the job done! This episode is a prime example of my resilience! We had to re-record it because the audio was terrible! Long story less long we re-recorded and it came out better than the first one! I want to introduce you to my editor! Tempestt Green and I started our teaching careers at the same time! It was that summer that I convinced her to help me make my projects whole! We talk about her love for reading and writing, although Tempestt has said that she doesn’t consider herself a creative I disagree! You don’t have to have published anything to be considered a creative! We talk education, the plight of the African American Man and more! This episode is also dedicated to my son!

I want to start out by saying that this is not a sports podcast unless the creative is starting up some team or a jersey printing company or something of the sort. With that being said Phil interrupts the episode to give us an update concerning the Los Angeles Lakers. (I hope you get to that point of the episode!!!) It feels incredible to be back, shoutout to my SON John Ross Dike II. When he was born everything stopped. I was able to produce two episodes that week but dealing with HIM I had to skip a week! That skip was good, it helped me secure this conversation with my brother Phil Adesulu Jr. of JPRstyling. When I think of being creative it involves some piece of art. Whether it be drawing, painting, writing or acting, my vision of creativity falls in that realm! What happens to the creatives that are not artistic but find creativity in knowing exactly what to wear and when and how to wear clothes or outfits! I find out that the most important thing in a man's closet is CONFIDENCE! Phil recalls his first couple of experiences with fashion detailing back to his youth. He describes what he would recommend a guy who just came home from jail to buy to be current to the time period; as well as describes how JPRstyling got its start.

You have to be careful as a creative not to get stuck trying to make your creations perfect; it can consume you and make you think that the mistakes made are not apart of the journey. It’s good to strive for perfection, but perfection comes with attempts, meaning one episode doesn’t make you perfect but continuing to drop episodes helps you work on perfection! With that said, I wanted to re-record this episode cause I made the same audio mistake as I did before in episode 15. K.A. Wright gave me some gems during this episode that I found invaluable. He spoke on his journey on why he wrote Perfect Just Like You! He spoke about his beginnings and how His artistry is derived! The experience for me that made me forget about second guessing this episode was the fact that He personalized a note and autographed a copy of Perfect Just Like You for MY SON with a date and time stamp! Somethings can recreated but moments like that, that I can speak to my son about I couldn’t recreate! This episode is also dedicated to my son! I love you Baby D!

I've heard I'm finding purpose, I've found my purpose, I'm walking in my purpose but I never knew what that meant. To be honest, I'm still searching for what it truly means to walk in your purpose. Things in society have changed. People have found ways to make money and grow their brand! People have found ways to change their lives. As this podcast grows, you'll understand why I say I have the hottest podcast! I bring creatives like Kenedi (Sir Ja Monet) on the podcast and hear first hand what I as a creative have been doing for the past 7 years. I don't want to draw this out, Sir Ja Monet and I talk about Purpose, we talk about her passion, we talk about why and what she started on her journey, we talk about the sacrifice!

I don't know if any siblings in entertainment history ever sat down to talk about their journeys. On this episode, I get the opportunity to talk to my baby sister about her creativity. We find out that she has an allure for make up and skin. She mentions that she got her start using her best friend as a guinea pig and word of mouth got her more opportunities to do what she loves to do. Her process to getting dolled up takes about an hour and half. With it being prom season she attempted a prom give away were she would gift four high school girls a care package that consisted of make up, shoes, hair and a dress. She sites that charity to having a surplus of money and wanting to give back to the youth. Although plans didn't go as she had intended; we understand that being creative doesn't mean being perfect. Within the attempts that you make perfection is attained. She also describes her process of applying make up! Sit back, relax and enjoy Episode 13 of the Whats Next!?

Everyone remembers Katrina. That name is synonymous with destruction and loss. Hundreds of thousands of New Orleanians evacuated from New Orleans with nothing but a portion of their families, a few hundred dollars if that and despair. It leaves to question if anything good came out of Katrina. The answer I move to motion is Chef Nureka Chapman-Henderson. Throughout our conversation, I heard disappointment and frustration then I witnessed her Victor Lap. Chef attributes her craft to her city, being selfless, her upbringing and her grit. We talk about her humble beginnings in the 9th ward, how broken relationships caused her to close her first restaurant and regroup; the moment of the episode is when she has to answer if her skills surpass her mom, aunt and grandmother. Finally we learn that she is closing in on her cook book and gearing up to opening another restaurant! Sit back, relax and enjoy Episode 12 of the Whats Next!?

Women have come a long way from where they used to be! I mean we can all agree on that! Without going to deep into that spill Blue's hustle is inspiring. I said this on this podcast "It's very seldom that someone's hustle parallels to yours" This woman embodies some many hats. She's an actress, emcee, poet, business owner and entrepreneur. We talk about her humble beginnings in all her ventures, we check out a scene in a movie she did and lastly jam one of her singles. She talks about the importance of taking some opportunities off to be able to nurture her kids and more! Sit back, relax and enjoy Episode 11 of the Whats Next!?

I haven't acted in a while so believe me when I say this, Saturday (04/13/19) was magical. I love that feeling of being watched and cheered on stage. Film lasts forever but stage gives you spotlight and applause in that moment. In episode 10, I continue to talk to the talent and creatives from "Forever Yours". We were blessed to acquire Corrigan as an addition to the cast. The role of Caleb Dawson became his and he turned up during the weekend of the showcase. It was his Instagram that drew my attention; his drawings are so authentic,its as if he traced the imagines and put them on canvas. He assured me that tracing was his thing and he talks about seeing artistry and it being God given to him. He harps of repetition and finding the vibe as the factors that helps him create his master pieces. Sit back, relax and enjoy Episode 10 of the Whats Next!?
