“Dad, Can We Talk?”

I've been needing to have this sit-down with my kids for a while. It's always a good thing to sit down and get an understanding with your children. You'll find out many things about them and yourself. Plus, your kids will feel more comfortable talking with you and knowing that their voices are heard. It's not about being right or wrong, it's about getting an understanding. So that's what we did. O...

This is a bonus episode that features my wife interviewing me. We dug deep into a few topics and I must say it got a bit emotional near the end. Hear the hearts of a true mother and father.

I get many questions about the Hebrew Israelite community, so I decided to sit down with some of my brothers and ask them some of the questions that I usually get. These brothers broke it down, piece by piece, and laid out their beliefs. They don’t speak for the entire Hebrew community, they spoke for themselves. If you have any questions that they didn’t address here, find them at Berean Council...

I recorded this episode last summer with my man Cody Hall. After recording, I could not find out what happened to the audio, so I put it to the side for some months. I messed around with it a few weeks ago again and finally resolved the issue. So this will be known as the "lost file" episode. Cody dropped some jewels in this episode about time management and money management. We talked about many...

I sat down with my Israelite brothers once again to discuss what we are seeing in our community, as far as the scriptures are concerned. We discussed our thoughts on Covid 19, the state of the church, the state of the black family, the state of our youth, and many other things. This was a great dialogue and as always I came out enlightened. If you have any questions about anything discussed in thi...

The last time I did an episode that was focused on me was in April 2020. I wanted to give my listeners and supporters the opportunity to know more about me and where I am at this current juncture of my life. Fresh off my bachelor degree graduation, I sat down with my homie Yaakov Melech Bey aka J King and we got it in for a quick second. Hopefully after listening, my supporters will understand mor...

This bonus episode features my 1st woman guest (excluding my wife) to the podcast. She reached out to me about a content/experience platform she founded called "Alley Oop", that exclusively focuses on dads and daughters. They believe that dads play a critical role in the development of their daughters. So of course, with me having two daughters, I wanted to know more.    We talked about...

Episode 81 had me talking fatherhood with a dad hailing all the way from England, UK. It's crazy because even though he is way over in the eastern hemisphere, we still deal with some of the same challenges as dads.

We recorded episode 79 outside of a coffee shop in downtown Gainesville, so excuse the extra sounds in the background. But this was my 2nd episode that features both son and father.

So it was only right th...
