The Uptown Xperience

Ep. 5 | "Untitled"

So this episode isn't the typical episode we would normally record due to us being in the middle of the end of the world -- however, here's an impromptu short episode where we just (Gary and Trav) sit down and shoot the shits mostly about nothing and a little bit about why we do this, why men should be centered in love, social media facades, learning from losses & the way we process things. I guess we did speak about a lot -- the range! We hope you enjoy!  Please remember to rate & subscribe and let us know what you think on whatever platform you listen on.

Intro | "We're all just mirrors". How the need for control and/or lack thereof affects one's, self-love (04:30). How you're able to block out energy that isn't conducive to your growth (10:46). What self-love meant for us and our parents and how that changes a romantic relationship. Fear of not being in control of yourself and other things affects the relationship (15:05).

Ep. 2 | "Mamba Mentality"

Ep. 1 | “Who Are We?”

What happens when you have a room full of men with stories to share? You get openness, our truth and some insight into a fraction of what the male population go through on a daily basis. From intros to new discoveries, Trav and Gary dive into their own personal backgrounds, while bringing Darrell (@bypeacock) and Radhy (@radhymiranda) into the fold. We touch on everything from fatherhood to how our household dynamics shaped us into the men we are today, for better or for worse.  This is The Uptown Xperience Podcast!  Connect with us on Social Media: Instagram: @TheUptownXperiencePod @travistremayne @whoisgaryb Email: info@theuptownxperience.com
