The Perfect Mess Podcast

I know. I know. It's been a minute. But, I am back with a full episode. We've got a lot to catch up on and this episode will do just that. I talk about the passing of DMX & Black Rob briefly. Also, on a lot...yes a lot of family stuff this episode. For instance, we went on a hike recently (my boys and I) and their Mom joined us...first time we've ever done that. Deep conversation about that. N...

We often fall victim to other people's "Highlight Reel" on social media, thinking life is super peachy for them. Then looking at our lives in disappointment because we aren't where we feel we should have been. I get it, trust me...I did the same thing. In this episode I share how I've learned to combat that a bit on the platforms I use...I hope you get a little something out of this one as well. A...

Is your life complicated, stressful and cluttered like mine was 4 years ago? Do you spend all your money on buying things you really don't need or use? Or maybe you just can't seem to get yourself to get rid of things you really never let see the light of day? I have some tips for you that may help you de-clutter your life and simplify your bills and more. In this episode I tell you how Minimalism...

It's normal for things to get stressful and for us to at times lose our cool. But when it begins to happen more frequent and it starts to really mess with your peace and get you off course, it's a problem. Those are times I have to be reminded of what got me to where I am and that I am not the same man I was before. In fact, I am much different because I have made it my mission to be better and do...

Usually when we begin to show some growth in our lives, its followed by outgrowing somethings or even someone. This is where I am at today and it's a lonely road. But, one that needs to be travelled if you are ever to truly become who you've always envisioned. To be honest, a lot of what I am experiencing now is long overdue. I feel like the milk has been sitting in my refrigerator for years and I...

Often times we think we've hit rock bottom and think, well this ain't too bad...I can do this. Then, rock bottom actually hits and we're faced with a cross road of giving up or powering through. Last year when Covid hit, I was faced with a very tough situation that I thought for sure would break me. It didn't. It made me...this is my story. I promise, you will survive even your darkest time if you...

Ever feared you'd lose your hunger? Your drive? The very thing that pushed you to change who you are because you have finally hit that turning point in your life where things seem to be getting better? Yea, I know...me too. That is where I am right now and to be quite honest, I am terrified. I am trying to make sure I remember what got tme here at the same time as I "let go" of the past. It's not...

I know as adults we are super jaded with the world especially today. So many people are deciding to stray from the old story we grew up on as kids with regards to Santa Claus and I am here to tell ya...I won't be one of them. I am allowing my kids to be kids for as long as I can. I know there will come a day when it no longer works, but parents; we only get them as babies and little kids for so lo...

Well, after the Joe Rogan podcast recently with J.Prince...I was inspired to share my story of my encounter with the prince of the south and Rap-A-Lot some 15-16 years ago as I was on a promotional tour for a project I put out called "Filthy". My tour took me through beautiful Houston, TX which is a place that heavily influenced my musical upbringing. While out there I was filming for my dvd to be...

Holidays are tough already right? Having to do them in separate homes is even tougher. Add in a bit of them good old memories of when that wasn't a thing and you've got yourself a recipe for hard feelings. I had that very thing happen to me tonight and instead of running from it, I allowed myself permission to embrace it and have a moment. Then once I was done, I got back to the strong me I have b...

Well, I hit the 20 episode mark and as promised I brought in my first guests. Who better to bring in than the two people I talk about the most; my children. So, today I invited my two sons; Jordan (11) & Jayden (9) to join me for a little one on one to introduce themselves and talk a bit. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. It was very cool listening to them speak and to realize how mu...

There was a lot to catch up on for this episode...so please take it all in. Lot's to do with parenting, lessons I am sharing with you I am teaching them on down to dealing with folks who just can't understand your bond with your children and compare yours to theirs. It can get tricky. It's a lot being everything to your children including a provider..some excel some don't. Regardless, we must do t...

I know there is a lot to be down for these days. It feels more divided than ever and we are all still stuck dealing with this pandemic. But, let me give you some very simple advice in this episode. You have the control to change your immediate surroundings and the way life is for you. Simple small gestures everyday can help turn things around, not only for you...but for those who witness them when...

This is the first episode I recorded on the go, I hope you enjoy it. Today is election day and with tensions being so high and division being at an all time I felt it was important to at least touch on something that hopefully will give you some food for thought going into tonight and moving forward. If you enjoy this episode and it hits home for you and you feel like someone should hear it, pleas...

Energy hasn't been the greatest? Yea, mine either...and I am about to share with you why. It's very important that we clean our space (physically and socially) meaning online as well as in real life. Our energy is important. Life has been like trudging through mud the last few weeks, but I am getting through it. But, are we being honest? I hope so...because I almost didn't make it through and you'...

This episode we catch up after my 46th Birthday, yes...I said 46th. We talk about life being 46 and the aches I am going through now during my 75Hard program. On top of that, I talk about the struggle of being your kids friend and father and teaching them the difference. I struggle and my heart gets to tugging at me when I have to discipline my kids, but I know the other side of that if I don't. I...

It’s been interesting to see how divided Covid has all of us. As if we need one more thing to divide us these days. But it’s true and I’m not exempt from that at all. I’ve caught my own heat for my stance on it and we’ll discuss that here on episode 15. Here is my Instacart referral I spoke about: https://shoppers.instacart.com/?referral=RMJAB771B9&utm_medium=copy&utm_source=instacart_refe...

Today's episode is a short one, but it's simply about tackling the hard things in life, things we don't necessarily want to do and often avoid or put off for another time. It's difficult, it's hard convincing yourself to do them especially if they come with stress, pain, or heartache. But here's the thing...that's when we know we have to do them and do them first before anything else. Why? Because...

In the spirit of 9/11, I touch on the memory and my trip to NYC 4-5 years after 9/11. I also discuss the feeling of the country after those events and how it brought us all together as one; as Americans...and how we could use that today in this current climate. Aside from that, I talk about Football's return, how sports is so different from the fans perspective. Also, we've had more fires to deal...

I've sat and watched recently how a great majority of the world embraces being a victim. In fact people encourage those to use it as an excuse as to why life is so hard and why they are the way they are. You had no choice, look at where you came from...this is the hand you were dealt! WRONG! I don't buy into that, and neither should you. I am here to share 10 different stories of how people chose...

I was given a compliment recently and was taken a back for a bit. Something like that hasn’t happened in so long and I had no idea how to respond. It got me thinking about a few things. 1.) why don’t women do that more often? 2.) how do we compliment and approach women these days without looking or sounding like a creep? So much to talk about and I would love to hear from you all. Here’s my IG’s:...

This episode we open with a little of what I’ve been up to the last week and how some funny things happened with regards to my last podcast “Stand By Me”. Then we jump on in to “Fall In Line” which is a deep discussion on accepting people for their differences of opinion on life and all its different aspects. Learning that it’s ok to disagree and not feel the need to cancel someone or be angry and...

It’s kind of amazing to realize that our kids these days don’t experience “outside” like we use to. From having friends knocking on our doors asking if we can come outside and play, to riding bikes miles and miles away from our homes with our friends just to “hang out”. Digital runs everything now and I’ve taken it upon myself to dig back into my childhood to share things with my kids to help them...

In this episode it’s story time. Some of you may be in a situation right now where you are in love with someone and they are giving you every sign or telling you direct that they are not into you anymore or just aren’t feeling you anymore...and you keep trying; forcing in fact. When we do this we lose a small piece of ourselves each time. It’s important to love and respect ourselves more and to le...

In this episode we recap the last 30 days since the previous podcast. I discuss taking my kids to their first protest, my 1st & 2nd mtn. bike trip, crushing #75Hard, starting my own program #448Refined, books I’m reading and my first time under 200lbs in over 20 years!
