Finding Forever

Finding Forever Pt. 2

Three men. All single. All honest. Strong on the outside…still wrestling with what it really takes to love someone else. On this episode of PERSP3CTIVE, I sit down with three men who aren’t hiding behind ego, pride, or surface-level answers. This is a real conversation about dating, fear, expectations, and the internal work most men avoid. This isn’t a “men vs women” debate and it’s not feel-good relationship talk. It’s raw. It’s challenging. It’s real grown-man dialogue. • Why do men say they want love but struggle to commit when it shows up? • Are some expectations of women unrealistic…or are men simply unprepared to meet them? • What does it truly mean to “die to yourself” to become a partner instead of just an individual? • Can you really lead in love if you haven’t mastered yourself first? I get to hear unfiltered truths about ego, fear, accountability, and the uncomfortable reality that becoming the right partner requires letting go of who you’ve been. 🎙️ Episode 7: Part 2 “Finding Forever” Because love doesn’t just require chemistry. It requires change. If you’ve ever questioned your readiness for a relationship, struggled with commitment, or wondered why modern dating feels so complicated, this conversation is for you. No filters. No fluff. Just real perspective. 👉 Press play. This one might challenge you more than you expect. Like 👍, Share ▶️ & Subscribe 🔁

Finding Forever

Three women.  All single.  All intentional. Beautiful, driven, and not settling for anything less than what God has for them. On this episode of PERSP3CTIVE, I sit down with three intelligent, ambitious, and discerning women who are navigating love, career, faith, and femininity all at the same time. This isn’t surface-level dating talk and it’s not a complaining session about relationships. It’s bold. It’s honest. It’s real grown-woman dialogue. • How do you stay soft and feminine in a world that rewards hardness? • How do you chase purpose and still leave room for love? • What does it actually look like to follow God while dating today? • How do you avoid settling when time, pressure, and emotions are real? I get to hear their unfiltered thoughts on standards, discipline, patience, and trusting God’s timing even when it doesn’t make sense. Episode 7: Part 1 “Finding Forever” Because I believe the right love doesn’t compete with your purpose. It aligns with it. If you’re single, dating, focused on growth, or trying to figure out how to do relationships the right way without losing yourself, this conversation is for you. No filters. No fluff. Just real perspective. This one is going to hit different. Like 👍, Share ▶️, Subscribe 🔁

Show Me The Money

At 17 years old, Carrington Powell was told he had brain cancer. Most people would have let that diagnosis define the rest of their story.  Carrington refused to let it define his. On this episode of PERSP3CTIVE Podcast, I sit down with Carrington, now a 25-year-old private banker at Chase who beat brain cancer, built a career in finance, got married, and purchased his first home before most people his age even understand how money really works. But life took another unexpected turn. Eight years after beating cancer, Carrington just received the news no one wants to hear again. The cancer is back. Instead of shrinking, he leans in. In this conversation we talk about faith under pressure, the responsibility of stewardship, and why most people completely misunderstand their relationship with money. Carrington breaks down the discipline of defining every dollar you earn, shares practical investing insight, and explains why financial clarity is one of the most powerful forms of freedom a person can build. This isn’t just a conversation about money. It’s about purpose, perspective, and what changes when you realize tomorrow is never promised. Season 1 Episode 6 “Show Me The Money” Because how you manage what you’re given says a lot about what you believe your life is worth. Like👍 Subscribe🔁 Share▶️

Never Goodbye, Just See You Later

Can you imagine becoming a father, becoming a husband, and burying your own father all within the same season of life? On this episode of PERSP3CTIVE Podcast, I sit down with rising afro-beats and rap artist John Patrick as he walks me through one of the most emotionally violent transitions he’s ever experienced. While the world was expecting new music, performances, and growth in his career, real life was demanding something completely different from him at home. In a short window of time, John stepped into fatherhood, committed to marriage, and suddenly lost the man he looked to as his real life superhero. No warning. No preparation. Just pressure. We talk about what grief actually looks like when you don’t have the luxury of breaking down because your family now depends on you. What happens when the person who taught you how to be a man is no longer here to help you become one? This conversation gets uncomfortable fast as John opens up about seriously considering retiring from music, redefining purpose, and learning how to lead while still healing. Episode 5: “Never Goodbye, Just See You Later” Because sometimes growth requires you to keep going without the person you thought would be there to see it.

Oneness

“Nobody tells you what marriage really costs. Not when you’re 25. Not on your wedding day. Not even a few years in. On this episode of PERSP3CTIVE Podcast we sit down with George Jackson and Ally Jackson, a couple who said “I do” at 25 and just survived their first decade of marriage. Ten years of wins, wounds, lessons, and uncomfortable truths most couples avoid. Joined by my wife and co-host Amanda York, newly married ourselves, the conversation turns raw fast. No rehearsed answers. No sugarcoating. Just real people talking about real pressure. We go where most conversations don’t: • Money and the silent resentment it can build • Faith and what happens when it’s shaken • Food, routines, and how small habits expose big cracks • Infidelity, temptation, betrayal, and the long road back • Intimacy and what changes when life, stress, and time show up This isn’t a “how-to” marriage episode. It’s a “here’s what actually happens” episode. Some moments are uncomfortable. Some answers might surprise you. And some questions might hit closer to home than you expect. If you’ve ever wondered: “Are we normal?” “Is this worth fighting for?” “Does it get better or just harder?” This conversation doesn’t dodge those questions. There are three sides to every story. Your side. Their side. And the truth that shows up when you’re honest enough to talk.”
