Bout That Time | Real. Insightful. Empowering. Anthony McClain
-
- Society & Culture
Full transparency, all I want to do is help change the world for the better. The goal is to enlighten and empower people through casual conversations with inspiring human beings. Asking questions not typically broached. Honest testimony. Discussing topics that resonate and push the culture forward and, hopefully, closer together. Sharing the stories of others and hopefully helping people realize that the struggles they face are not unique to them. Extracting the nuance out of these stories to identify actionable steps that can be taken toward progress and self-actualization. Far too often we only celebrate the successes and the results of a person's hard work but we seldom highlight the grind, the work ethic, and the sacrifices they made to get there. A major part of the show is vulnerability.
Yes, it will be lighthearted.
Yes, there will be a lot of laughing.
I just hope people walk away with a different perspective as well. Something they can take with them on the journey to becoming their best selves.

Success Is A Moving Target with Mellody Hobson
On this episode with Mellody Hobson we emphasize the importance of financial literacy, its role in establishing wealth and security, and why so few people engage in the stock market.
We also reflect on her personal definition of success, making sure our memories aren't bigger than our dreams, as well as taking time to pause during times of great pain and anguish to reflect on what the universe is trying to teach us.

The Most Unlikely Story with Mellody Hobson
Mellody Hobson and I discuss a number of influences and experiences that got her to where she is today. She is the President of Ariel Investments, Vice Chair of the Board of Starbucks, Chairman of After School Matters, and, amongst other things, was named to TIME's 100 Most Influential People list.
We touch base on her upbringing, how she went from intern to president, the impact fitness has on her life performance, her peerless work ethic, her marriage, circle of friends, as well as the realization that everyone doesn't want what she wants. Truly a FORCE and an insightful listen.

The Nuance of Inclusive Progress with Trammell Logan
Following our first interview we had to talk about what's really real. We highlight the inherent inequities that still persist in America and how we can move forward and potentially come together to solve them. We go about it from all angles. Biases, accountability, crabs-in-a-barrel mentality, the need for allies, and how the the progress may be slow, but progress nonetheless.

Back From The Dead with Trammell Logan
Sometimes life chooses you!
Had the chance to sit down and chop it up with Trammell Logan, Master SoulCycle Instructor and Founder of East Side Dance Crew in Manhattan. Trammell and I discussed his start at Harlem Boy's Choir, surviving a pulmonary embolism and then striving afterwards, the love of the SoulCycle community, the opportunities within the struggle, and the importance of self validation.
