The big 3 is back together for the 1st time in a long time and this time, they didn't come alone. They brought their childhood friend, Kyree on this very special episode.

Kyree starts things off by speaking on his experience with fatherhood (2:37). That leads to the other guys getting into whether they are ready to be fathers. Next, they discuss expectations on Father's Day in their households (8:46). Going on a tangent, we have a callback on how confidence is important and can lead to opportunities (13:43). Later, Brandon talks about having an identity crisis growing up as he was searching for acceptance in his younger years (23:12).

Brandon and Ian are back again and they're joined by Brandon's childhood friend Jiyon Ruffin for a very special episode.

Jiyon starts things off by talking about his fitness journey (3:46) and how it was intentional. He also talks about the significance of being conscious of your health (13:01). The guys then get into a serious discussion about health being a priority and importance in the Black community with some stats that Jiyon drops (19:55). Jiyon speaks about his Music & Movement series and how they can intertwine which leaves Ian and Brandon impressed (28:10). Later, Jiyon goes in depth about his 'why' on why he's passionate about health and fitness and what keeps him going (39:22).

This episode is a special one, hence why there are no time stamps.

Throughout multiple episodes, we have heard Brandon discuss about his deep relationship with his great grandmother and how special she is to him. In this episode, Brandon and his great grandma discuss her life and tribulations she has faced in her 98 years of living. There was a lot of wisdom shared, but most importantly, they discuss why having faith is important. We encourage you all to spend time and have a conversation with your loved ones. You never know what type of encouragement you will get. Thank you for listening and we hope you enjoy this fruitful episode.
