Before You Touch Your Phone Tomorrow, Watch This! EP #079

On this episode of The Unplug Podcast, we ask a question most people never stop to consider: When was the last time you were truly alone with your own thoughts? No notifications. No scrolling. No distractions. Just you. Somewhere along the way, checking our phones became more natural than checking in with ourselves. We reach for them when we're bored, uncomfortable, anxious, lonely, or simply because we don't know what else to do. The scary part isn't that we're using our phones. The scary part is that most of us no longer notice we're doing it. This isn't an episode about deleting social media or throwing away your phone. It's about awareness. Because if you can't control your attention, someone else will. Episode 79 is now live.

Black Men In Business: Barrier Or Excuse? EP #076

In this episode of The Unplug Podcast, Freeman and JP have one of the most uncomfortable conversations they’ve had so far — what it really means to be a Black man in business.Not the filtered version.Not the social media version.The honest version.They break down the pressure of constantly needing to prove yourself, the silent discrimination many Black entrepreneurs experience, and the feeling that the standard is sometimes higher before trust is given.The episode explores the reality of racism in business, subtle bias, lack of access, stereotypes, and the emotional pressure of representation.But it also asks the harder question most people avoid:At what point does a real barrier become a dangerous excuse?Freeman and JP discuss the difference between acknowledging discrimination and hiding behind it, why poor execution cannot be blamed on the system forever, and why discipline, competence, proof, and consistency still matter no matter how unfair the playing field may be.They also talk about Black culture, Black influence, and how being underestimated can either destroy your confidence… or become fuel.This episode is not about pretending the system is fair.It is about becoming so undeniable that even doubt has to respect the standard.Episode 76 is now live.Watch now on YouTube and stream on Spotify & Apple Podcasts.New episodes drop every week at 7PM.Time Stamps:00:00 — Introduction to the debate: racism, discipline, and business realities00:39 — Welcome to the Unplugged Podcast and episode topic revealed01:17 — Is racism still real in business in 2026?02:07 — Discussion on institutionalized and “corporate” racism03:15 — How the internet and social media changed opportunity access03:49 — Does being a Black business owner create more pressure to succeed?04:30 — Blocking out outside pressure and controlling your mindset05:27 — Do Black people still need to work harder than others?06:37 — Difference between corporate life and entrepreneurship07:35 — Can being Black actually be an advantage in business?08:17 — Using uniqueness and visibility as a personal advantage09:54 — When racism becomes an excuse instead of motivation11:00 — Story about a family business and misunderstanding customer behavior12:04 — Focusing on what you can control instead of external barriers13:17 — Discipline vs discrimination: mindset and success14:01 — Personal experiences as Black entrepreneurs15:56 — Story of alleged racial bias during a job interview17:21 — Ageism and discrimination in property business deals19:19 — Racism and stereotyping inside corporate workplaces21:17 — Plug Bites: motivational quotes, lessons on failure, and final thoughts🎙 Follow The Unplug Podcast & Our Hosts:Instagram:The Unplug Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/theunplugpodcastFreeman: https://www.instagram.com/freeman_richardsJP: https://www.instagram.com/johnjppatrickTikTok:The Unplug Podcast: https://www.tiktok.com/@theunplugpodcastFreeman: https://www.tiktok.com/@freeman_richardsJP: https://www.tiktok.com/@thejohnjppatrick #fyp #black #podcast #london #lifestyle #business
