Pro$perity's All Done Podcast

Tracy Branch/Mike Gatewood

The All Done Podcast is hosted by lifelong friends Mike “Shakes” Gatewood and Tracy Branch, two brothers from Brentwood, New York, who bring real conversations to a space that often avoids them. Each week, they break down current events, culture, movies, literature, and the unspoken realities of American life, all through the lens of two Black men who've lived it — not studied it from the sidelines. Their discussions are raw, reflective, and grounded in experience, offering perspectives shaped by growth, accountability, and the constant push to navigate a system that doesn't always work as promised. Powered by See Pro$perity Network, the show stands on the principle of “Pro$perity For All” — a phrase embedded in the American promise, yet unevenly delivered. Mike and Tracy don't claim to have all the answers, but they aren't afraid to ask the questions many avoid: Who really benefits? What does progress look like? And how do Black Americans build prosperity on their own terms? The All Done Podcast isn't about outrage or headlines — it's about perspective, progress, and growth. Through honest dialogue and evolving viewpoints, the hosts invite listeners into conversations that challenge comfort zones, encourage critical thinking, and move culture forward — one episode at a time.

    Prosperity's All Done Podcas Ep 120: Just A Little Joy

    Yooooo What's up Pro's?! The All Done Podcast is back with another deep, no-ducking-it episode where Shakes and Tracy wrestle with the real questions most people avoid. The conversation opens philosophically, as Tracy challenges Shakes' belief in symmetry and balance in the world—especially in the face of consumerism, capitalism, and corruption. What follows is an unresolved but necessary debate on realism versus optimism, discipline versus disillusionment, and how people can still find joy when the world feels upside down. Shakes pushes for hope, appreciation, and balance, while Tracy brings a grounded, often pessimistic realism that questions whether optimism is earned or just a coping mechanism. Together, they explore how to stay disciplined, aware, and human without losing the ability to enjoy life's moments. The episode turns toward race, reparations, and identity, unpacking what it means to acknowledge historical atrocities against foundational Black Americans while questioning racial hierarchies, white supremacy, and the idea of a future without them. Shakes reflects on a TV show imagining global unity, while Tracy pushes back on the cost of collective consciousness and the loss of individual free will. Lighter moments break through with conversations about meal prep struggles, the search for steak, John Cena's legacy, and navigating personal growth. The discussion then shifts to politics as the duo breaks down Jasmine Crockett's Senate run, political theater versus real policy, accountability, and why representation must go deeper than viral moments. They close with a heavy but honest discussion on power, race, and responsibility following the dismissal of Michigan coach Sherrone Moore, examining how personal choices intersect with systemic realities—and how those moments can impact progress for Black leadership. Thought-provoking. Honest. Uncomfortable in the best way. Tap in to The All Done Podcast—where the conversations don't wrap up neatly, because real life doesn't either. ️
