Brian's World

It's crazy how life works! The dominoes fall from the very beginning of our lineage and those genes carry on to us today. For me that gene was writing! My parents are writers! We all have things that can help us get our thoughts together and purge the clouds in our lives. If not, just find something that does! Writing saved my life and here's the story.

Just keep swimming! There will great resistance on your journey but you have to keep swimming against the current! It'll make you stronger. @briancxvi @briansworldlive

Happy July 4th! Oh, and throwback Thursday! I want to get more consistent with the Throwback Thursday interviews and I couldn't wait to share this one with you. Let's flashback to 2016 when I was living in Indianapolis. Award winning actor and heartthrob Michael Ealy called in to Brian's World to talk about his new film that had recently released. He also offered some key advice about being consis...

Happy to be back in the podcast world! Here's the first episode from Season 3! I've been falling in love with construction sites and the process of building something beautiful. Let's chat about that!

Got the chance to sit with "Leave Me Alone" rapper, Flipp Dinero, over the weekend. Not only were the vibes supreme, but we got the chance to talk about the power of music.

I've been thinking about this the whole government shut down and couldn't wait to do this episode. Trust no one! We are in the captain of our ships, we cannot trust managers and government officials to provide for us. BUILD YOUR HUSTLE NOW! @briancxvi (Soundcloud, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook) briancxvi.com

I hate how we get trolled just to get our attention. Your attention is the most valuable thing you can offer and big companies and celebrities abuse that. Can we tackle 'troll culture'?

And now, 'The Dirty Jays Theory'! This is an ideology that I adopted in Buffalo, NY after realizing that I was spending thousands of dollars on new shoes. We waste money trying to impress people who we won't even know next year. Temporary highs, man. Gives me the jitters just thinking about it.

It's so taxing to think about trying to make the same mistakes that some of our role models make. I know for me, I found myself comparing my mistakes to theirs and beginning to believe that I had to make the same mistakes. In fact, we have our own lives and stories of success. @briancxvi (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter) briancxvi.com.

Let's end the year with probably the best lesson I've learned so far. Crazy how you can go through the entire year and get the best understanding on the very last weekend of the year. Either way, I'm blessed to make it to this point and want to share this revelation with you. Get busy by hitting play! GO, HIT PLAY! @briancxvi (IG, Twitter, FB) briancxvi.com

Merry Holidays! One of my favorite interviews of ALL TIME! Let's journey back to 2013 for an interview with a good friend of mine, Alex Elle. She talked heavy about remaining inspired and faithful in our passions for the world. I feel like this happened just yesterday as her words STILL have a strong grip on my life. You've got to dive into this! Be inspired! @alex_elle [IG] @_alexelle [Twitter] @...

I had a double epiphany this weekend about this whole "brand building" thing. It's so irritating and has really watered life's moments down. I hate feeling like everyone is trying to sell me something. Brah, just be human. You should hear this episode, you've been warned.

If someone asks you about what we do on the podcast, just send them this link. Here's a recap of the #SZN2 we've had so far. Thanks for being along for the ride!

Been looking forward to this episode for a while! "Generational curse" is a term that has been thrown around everywhere but yo, IT'S REAL! There's science behind it! It's called Epigenetic Modification and you should really listen to this episode because what you may decide today can kill your great grandchildren one day(why sugar coat it, right? Let's just be honest). Clips courtesy of ECommerse...

Been DYING to do this show. I wanted to explain what I meant about how believing in yourself isn't just about the big goals. In fact, the big goals can be a distraction. Issabout the baby steps it takes to get there. This episode features Jaylon Smith, Linebacker of the Dallas Cowboys. Clip courtesy of ESPN.

Nope, not about penis size. This is about the size of our egos. There is so much power in understanding that our goals and visions are bigger than us. Be of SERVICE, not self. Click play and dive in!

Yo! STOP IGNORING THE PROCESS! It's like the biggest disservice to ourselves and our visions when we ignore the process. Get into the beautiful feeling (process) of creating and carrying a child. Think about how proud those parents are. Be like that! The process of our success is beautiful! At least from I've learned so far.

It's Thursday and I can't stop thinking about the advice that my girl Ta'Rhonda Jones gave us about never giving up. You're going to like the way this one tastes and if you don't, then good because you probably needed to hear it. Understand that we are going to struggle before we shine, that's life. Pay the dues, buss them suds, work like hell and let's reach our destiny! Jones is an actress and a...

I had a powerful Thanksgiving weekend, my Uncle dropped crazy gems on me. All I've been thinking about is his advice. It can help us all...

Yeah, you won the lottery. You taking care of your earnings? Let's talk about it on today's episode. Happy Turkey week and thank you to the CTZNS.

Had a great weekend in Baltimore, MD for the BE Expo by Radio One. I was asked to moderate a panel on Black Mental Health and although I'm still blown I didn't get video, I did grab the audio. Now, it is bootleg audio so I apologize for that but you should be able to make out a good portion of the clips. If you have any comments, get into it. I'd love to hear your views on the topic for real. cxvi...

My computer crashed a couple times this weekend but we still here! And we have to do something about these ants, for real. NO! Put your phone down, no exterminator needed. We can handle this one ourselves. Click play.

Let's start Season 2 by talking about how I almost didn't make it back to the East Coast because I got super sick. The pilot was all like "I don't know if I can let you fly, bro." Anxiety, man. But, what caused the anxiety is something that I could do better with. Something we all could do better with, for real.

All good things come to an end. It's been a long season but it has been non-stop encouragement and the season finale ends on the same inspirational note. Episode 32 is an intimate conversation with international branding guru, Brand With Drew, about developing your brand. Don't give up! Just hit play and let us walk you through the details that will help you develop your brand. *Season 2 will begi...
