What if greatness isn't about the rank you achieve... but the lives you leave behind? In 2004, Brigadier General (Ret.) Dr. Sheila Baxter became the first African American woman in the history of the Army Medical Service Corps to achieve the rank of Brigadier General.But that's not the story that stayed with me. The story that stayed with me was the young basketball player from Franklin, Virginia who simply loved serving people.The lieutenant whose commander challenged her to write a 20-year career plan.The officer who almost left the Army... ...and didn't. The leader who discovered that the higher you rise, the more humble you should become. And the retired general who could have spent retirement anywhere but instead chose to serve unhoused veterans, build affordable housing, and continue changing lives.In this conversation, we talk about:▪️ Why passion matters more than titles▪️ The mentors who changed the course of her life▪️ How to stay humble while leading at the highest levels▪️ What it really feels like to carry the weight of being "the first"▪️ Why she believes Army leadership prepares you for anything in life▪️ The importance of listening before making life-changing decisions▪️ The transition from commanding thousands of Soldiers to serving veterans on the streets of AtlantaOne quote I haven't stopped thinking about:"The higher you go, the more humble you should become."This isn't just an episode for Army leaders.It's for anyone trying to become a better leader, mentor, parent, teammate, or human being.I left this conversation inspired and I think you will too. Sheila R.

On today’s episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast, the crew tackled breaking news, Hollywood rumors, real-talk about intimacy, and major updates in the Charlie Kirk shooting case. The RSMS crew digs into a string of terroristic threats that forced lockdowns and class cancellations at multiple historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) across the U.S. Institutions such as Alabama State, Hampton, Virginia State, Southern, Bethune-Cookman, Spelman, Clark Atlanta, and Morehouse were affected. Although no credible threat has been confirmed, the timing—shortly after Charlie Kirk’s shooting—has many students and administrators on edge, with heightened security in place. Rickey and the crew sat down with a sex and intimacy therapist, who broke down how open communication, honesty, and vulnerability can deepen relationships and help couples keep the spark alive. And during the last hour, the crew revealed that a suspect in the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk is now in custody. The suspect has been identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson of Utah, arrested after a tip from someone close to him, according to Utah law enforcement. Authorities say Robinson acted alone, and there are indications in messages and bullet engravings that the shooting was politically motivated.

At least six HBCUs — Alabama State, Hampton, Virginia State, Clark Atlanta, Southern University in Baton Rouge, and Bethune-Cookman — were forced into lockdown after receiving threats. Alabama State officials called them “terroristic threats.” Georgia's Spelman College also told students to shelter in place after Clark Atlanta was targeted. So far, police say no injuries. The incidents underscore the fragility of campus safety for historically Black colleges and universities.

“I told you so starts here” Over the past 200 days (the first 200 of the second Trump term) many details have come to light that confirmed things that for years had been dismissed as “conspiracy theories.” Just this week, details that show that the FBI, under Trump's own AG, Jeff Sessions, had whistleblower testimony that they failed to follow up on regarding classified document leaks from then-Congressman Adam Schiff that were leaked to trigger embarrassing investigations into the President in time to impact the 2018 mid-term elections. Also this week, the Capitol Police Chief finally spoke out and confirmed that the President had asked for the National Guard be deployed to the Capitol building on January third. Three days before the deadly riots. Stories like this come from courageous independent investigative reporters like John Soloman at ‘justthenews.com' our guest, Walter Curt of ‘WCdispatch.com' who shares with us two stories. The first is of two teenage girls who allege that they were taken to get abortions by Fairfax County school officials without alerting their parents. Just now, we are learning that Governor Youngkin has announced that he is “directing the Virginia State police bureau of criminal investigation to open a full criminal investigation.” The second regards a group of former US intelligence officers that call themselves “the Steady State” who have endorsed their former co-worker in the intelligence field, Abigail Spanberger, for Virginia Governor.

In this gripping, unfiltered interview, Banky Pound shares the raw truth about surviving 33 years in some of Virginia's most dangerous prisons. From witnessing murders on his first day to navigating the brutal inmate hierarchy and corrupt prison systems, Banky opens up about what it really takes to make it out alive. Raised in Washington D.C. during the 70s and 80s, Banky fell into a life of armed robbery as a teenager. A botched robbery led to a devastating sentence: life plus 100+ years. What followed was decades of violence, betrayal, and survival behind bars — including building a prison hustle, dealing with systemic racism, and the emotional toll of incarceration. Now free, Banky is using his story to uplift others and steer young people away from the same path. This is one of the wildest, most eye-opening prison stories ever told. Go Support Banky!

Who else should be pardoned? The FBI has BEEN the Feds, and horrific prison conditions in Virginia.    This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum are all about Criminal Justice Reform. President Biden pardoned his son and all the breathless media coverage has completely missed the point. Who else could he pardon–and why hasn't he??    Meanwhile, conditions inside of American prisons are so inhumane, that prisoners at one Virginia State institution have been lighting themselves on fire in protest. Tiffany guides us on a deepdive into Red Onion State Prison.    And Trump has proposed a new director for the FBI, Kash Patel, who's threatening to disband the FBI's Washington bureau and fire its leadership. Sometimes politics makes for strange bedfellows…    Does the hypocrisy of Mitch McConnell know no bounds? He's been sounding off on Federal judges who have reneged on retirement since Trump won, calling it “naked partisanship.” Mitch, please.    And of course we'll hear from you, our #NLPFam listeners.
