Ep. 19: Hey, what's your routine?

Ep. 19: Hey, what's your routine?

Following up requires routine, remembering to write things down takes routine. Making a podcast or creating content of any type and being consistent at it takes routine. And once you find your routine, once you find a pace that works for you, you’ll start to slowly get into a groove that can help you intentionally fulfill your goals. The only thing I ask is that you be patient with yourself. Routine does not happen overnight. Sometimes it takes failing, forgetting, or even reaching a breaking point. BOOK OF THE DAY! The Compound Effect, by Darren Hardy Today’s Topic? Hey, what’s your routine? Then it all went left: When I first started to make it a habit of going to the gym, the first few days I was not feeling it. So What did I learn from this? A routine is easy to have, but finding the right routine for you takes time.  100 Commandments of Confidence: Thou shall try again. Trying in itself takes courage.

Ep. 18: Hey, do you have a meaningful career?

Having a career is great but is it meaningful? Today we’ll discuss more on what it means to have a meaningful career with my friend Tobi Shannon!   BOOK OF THE DAY! Pleasure Activism by Adrienne Marie Brown   Today’s Topic? Finding a career that is meaningful to you Then it all went left: Thinking my job was one thing and not vetting it enough, then it turned out to be another thing. The company, people, job description–everything you deal with on a daily basis is based in how you vet these three things.     So What did I learn from this? Don’t be afraid to ask for what you need and what you want, especially for something you’ll be spending the majority of your time doing   100 Commandments of Confidence: You deserve to live your life abundantly–and you are worthy of a career that allows you to do that.

Music is a universal language that brings the world together. Today, I invited my friend Dom Savant to talk more about his music journey and how networking played a part in creating a major project where he found an independent artist in each state.   BOOK OF THE DAY! As a Man Thinketh Book by James Allen Then it all went left: 1- Putting different sounds together. 2- Being able to stand on your feet as a man.   What did I learn from this? Just do it, learn from it and reflect on what could be improved the next time. 100 Commandments of Confidence: Thou shall not bite off more than they can chew.

Today I invited my friend Kendall Camp on the podcast to talk about how networking shaped his undergrad experience as a graduating Senior at HBCU Morehouse College.  BOOK OF THE DAY!   Why I left Goldman Sachs by: Greg Smith Then it all went left:   My GPA being a 2.8 GPA at Morehouse and turning it to still find internships in media, tech, and VC and how I am now graduating with a 3.4 GPA  So What did I learn from this?

Ep. 15: Hey, are you ok? (Self-Reflection)

When’s the last time you’ve checked in on you? Has anything changed? Has your body or mood changed because of it? While it’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of life, taking a step back to evaluate how you’re doing mentally, physically, and spiritually is also important. Self reflection is self care.
