In episode 8, I dissected both of Rick Ross's books "Hurricanes" his Memoire and "Perfect Day To Boss Up" his most recent project. Both books were beautifully written. A lot of knowledge was given at the expense of the boss, furthermore, it's up to us to be practitioners of what he was preaching in those books. The principles themselves are top tier, but we have to do our best to see them through. There were a couple of points that bridged the gap between the two books, how his big homies being locked up prompted him to go all out for rap, Dj Sam Sneak being a brand ambassador for him before he brought him on the team, and the correctional officer debacle. 

In episode 7, I sat down with my guy Brandon and we discussed, business, politics, and mindset development. All areas that people in urban communities need to acquire knowledge on. Ultimately, this will increase the mental awareness and agility of our people who have been oppressed and socially engineered into the bottom of the totem polls.

In episode 6, I exploit the term "Close Haters", which is people who have witnessed you struggle and may have been apart of your support system, but as your dreams materialised they started to hate or they fell into the entitlement trap. This causes intense disagreements and conflict within your inner orbit and now these individuals don't get chance to enjoy your dreams with you. Some of us deal with "Close Haters" differently, you have people who treat those people aggressively and then you have others who take a more passive approach. The case is, some of have these people in our circle, but we're too blinded by love to identify them. 

In episode 5, I posed a question "Are you mature enough to double back and save those who weren't supportive of your vision initially?" After expressing my sentiments I opened the floor for callers to come in and give their perspective on the subject. All in all, the bottom line is there will be people who support your every endeavour and there will be others who will be more prudent, but your vision is your vision, whether people support you or not It shouldn't affect you supporting yourself. Lastly, once you materialise your vision those who were indecisive will be at the mercy of your discretion. "PROTECT YOUR VISION."

In this episode 4, I talk about how essential visionaries are from the trenches and the impact they have on these harsh environments. These individuals have the ability to see past the rat race, social comparisons, and all the other things that usually prevent people from constructing visions and seeing them through. Visionaries give life to the dead not literally, but figuratively, by inspiring the people around them to dream. They also understand the importance of producing results to persuade those who are nearsighted. 

In this episode, I try my best to pinpoint the perspective of the weak mind. They hate anything that looks like or have the potential to be successful because they themselves fear success, and the best way to cope with their mediocrity is the create other weak minds. So they prey of those who are chasing greatness, projecting their fears on to those individuals who are in pursuit for more. What's crazy is, this method works for some. As a culture we suffer because some people need to satisfy their ego. That my friend is the greatest intent behind the crab in the barrel mentality.  

In episode 2, I talk about the importance of character. People of society have a bad habit of accepting what's most apparent to us, instead of searching beneath the surface of the facade an individual may showcase. Adversity reveals the true essence of an individual, anybody can portray to be good when things are going well, I call that "Front Running." Ultimately character can put people in places, build relationships, or create opportunities that money can't and that's what I wanted to depict with this episode. 

For me it's always been and will always be about Savant Talk. Someone may ask, "What is "Savant Talk"? and to answer that question it is engaging in or cultivating conversations that are about progression, security, solutions, empowering others, furthering the culture, and bridging that gap between corporate and street personnel. I coined this phrase which states "Savant Talk Over Small Talk" because that's what I vow to impart to you all with my content. I hope you all can get on this journey and grow with me on my quest to ultimate poise. 

In this episode, I sat down with Brandon Powell, Wide Receiver of the Atlanta Falcons. He indulged in a little retrospection when I asked him to expound on his early career. He pinpointed the people who served as shapers in his life who made his transitions to newer levels easier than most. Finally, as a third year player on the professional level Brandon delivered insightful information on being a football player in totality and giving sound advice to the youth.

In this episode, I dissected a phrase that was introduced to me by one of the most influential people ever in my life. Coach George "Tic" Price. What he presented me upon with this semantic was unlimited opportunity. Because of this term I started to be more audacious, courageous, and calculated with my goals and objectives. My goal with this episode is to propel individuals to unlock the chains of tradition, deter from the conventional methods in their environments, and ultimately aim higher.

In this episode I sat down with the Founder of  The brand " Deck Life" Lewayne Grant. This is a brother who I consider to be a foxhole friend, considering the fact that we've endeavoured the severities of the trenches together. He recently just launched his self-improvement brand that endorses reading, exercising, meditating etc. It's amazing what happens when a person becomes fixated on challenging the challenge, they began to unlock the chains of tradition, ultimately propelling themselves to their culmination point. We dissected this topic thoroughly in this interview. 

In this episode, I sat down with one of my favorite college coaches Brian Burton and we dissected our player-coach relationship. My aim was to give less experienced college coaches a feel for what it takes to be a transformational leader and shaper on the collegiate level. As for me I wanted to be powerfully vulnerable in expressing my real life application of the principles, lessons, and skills my coaching staff taught me. I hope players who listen and view this podcast episode understand the importance of being radically open
