    This interview was REAALY DOPE! Big Shoout out to all the Educators out there! Rashad Young, a school counselor, educator, author, and speaker focused on emotional intelligence, mental health, and purposeful growth Below is what he hopes you take away from this episode! "I hope people leave feeling encouraged to be more honest with themselves, to take their mental health seriously, and to see growth and vulnerability as strength—especially in communities where that’s not always encouraged."

    DE 188: Interview with Jess

    I’d like to be introduced as the founder & CEO of Tailored Holistic Coaching, JESS!. She specializes in providing executive coaching and consulting to professionals and/or business as they make career pivots and business decisions.  @tailoredholisticcoaching She said "I’m someone who’s battled mental health challenges and workplace trauma as I’ve navigated career pivots. After suffering a minor stroke in early 2025, I decided to make some lifestyle changes and that ultimately led me to start my own business. That’s why the “holistic” approach is instrumental to what I offer." Just listen to the EP and you know what to do! Thanks Jess for being part of the podcast!

    DE 186: Interview with Chris Ward Jr. Part X1

    All I can say at this point in time about this interview is that Chris Ward Jr supported my creativity in developing this and other creative things.... This will not be the last time you all hear him on the podcast! If im not mistaken, we have done episodes before, but after 186, you tend to forget things that have happened. Im glad that hes someone who becasme a creative mentor, friend, then brother who supports me in many things I chose to do. Thanks Chris for this interview. Looking forward to the next one.
