What is happening to America — and what does it mean for how we lead, live, and believe? The NEXT BIG THING with Keith D. Terry is a Society and Culture podcast that goes where most shows will not. The Church. Identity and belonging. The crisis facing men today. The weaponization of fear. Faith in the public square. The gap between who America says it is and what it actually does. These are not abstract conversations. They are the conversations that shape families, communities, institutions, and the leaders inside them. Hosted by Keith D. Terry — board chairman, C-suite executive advisor, and a man with 25 years inside the rooms where consequential decisions get made — The NEXT BIG THING brings a rare combination to every episode: cultural depth, biblical grounding, and the unfiltered perspective of someone who has lived the complexity he discusses. Keith does not traffic in safe takes. He does not perform outrage. He thinks out loud, challenges received wisdom, and names what others in his position typically avoid. That is the standard here. WHAT THIS SHOW TACKLES — The Church and the future of faith in America  — Political polarization and the industry built around keeping us afraid  — Race, reparations, and the honest conversations institutions refuse to have  — Male identity and the crisis no one wants to address directly  — Faith, power, and what it means to lead with both  — Career reinvention and the second acts that redefine legacy THIS SHOW IS BUILT FOR YOU IF... — You are done with shallow takes on the issues that actually define this cultural moment.  — You are a person of faith who refuses to check your intellect at the door.  — You are from any community that is tired of being discussed instead of being heard.  — You believe that culture, faith, and leadership are not separate conversations; they are the same one.  — You are navigating a personal or professional inflection point, and you need perspective, not platitudes.

    You Negotiate Everything Else. Why Are You Giving Away Your Vote?

    You negotiate your salary. Your contracts. Your business deals. Your board seats. So why would you give away your political power without negotiating what you expect in return? In this provocative episode of The NEXT BIG THING with Keith D. Terry, Keith challenges the Black professional class to rethink the relationship between political loyalty and political leverage. This is not an argument for Democrats or Republicans. It is an argument about power. Black professionals are among the most educated, accomplished, and economically influential people in America. Yet Keith argues that the same discipline used to negotiate compensation, contracts, investments, and careers often disappears at the ballot box.  Using voting patterns, wealth data, and economic outcomes, Keith asks an uncomfortable question: If a political party already knows where your vote is going, what incentive does it have to compete for it? This conversation goes beyond Black politics. It is about political leverage, accountability, economic power, and whether any voter should give unconditional loyalty to any political party. Your vote has value. The question is whether you are negotiating with it. youTube @keithdterry #Politics #AmericanPolitics #BlackPolitics #PoliticalPower #Voting Send us your thought on this episode.

    Your Grocery Bill Is Not an Accident.

    Your grocery bill is lying to you and somebody made that decision. Keith D. Terry names exactly who is paying the tariff tax, why the small business owner is being used as a shock absorber for a trade war they did not start, and why the Federal Reserve says the worst price increases have not even hit yet. Nobody escapes this — not the retiree, not the executive, not the wealthy, and Keith closes with the one conversation every American needs to have before this week is over.

    America Is Not Polarized. America Is Afraid — And Fear Is Being Monetized.

    Someone is getting paid every time you are afraid. The cable news industry generates over seven billion dollars annually. The global attention economy generates over six hundred billion. The product driving those numbers is not information. It is your anxiety. And three systems — cable news, political fundraising, and social media algorithms — are profiting from both sides of the political divide simultaneously. In this episode, Keith D. Terry argues that America is not polarized. America is afraid. Drawing on research from MIT, Gallup, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and the American Psychological Association, Keith builds the full architecture of the fear economy — and delivers a three-part framework for reclaiming clarity as a leader. Fear does not stay on the screen. It walks into the boardroom. This episode will show you how to opt out. leadership, fear economy, media bias, political polarization, executive leadership, decision making, faith and business, attention economy Send us your thought on this episode.

    Resentment Never Built a Single School. Wealth Did.

    Why do so many hardworking people never build real wealth? Not because they lack intelligence. Not because they lack discipline. Not because they are not trying. In this solo episode of The NEXT BIG THING with Keith D. Terry, Keith challenges one of the most uncomfortable truths about money, success, and ownership: Resentment does not build wealth. This episode is not a defense of billionaires. It is not hustle culture. It is not a prosperity gospel. It is a direct conversation about the hidden money stories that shape how people think, spend, save, invest, build, and avoid financial responsibility. Keith explores why many capable people remain financially stuck, even when they work hard, earn income, and know they should be doing more. He also examines the racial wealth gap, generational wealth, faith, money, ownership, investing, and the belief patterns that quietly shape financial outcomes. In this episode, you will hear: • Why resentment never creates wealth • Why money is not evil, but the love of money distorts people • How prosperity gospel thinking damages real wealth building • Why criticizing an unfair system is not the same as learning how the system works • Why ownership matters more than income • How wealthy people think about assets, time, investing, and long-term strategy • Why financial freedom requires belief, behavior, discipline, and action • The 72-hour wealth-building assignment Keith gives every listener This episode is for anyone who cares about financial literacy, wealth building, generational wealth, entrepreneurship, investing, leadership, faith, money mindset, personal growth, and ownership. The question is simple: Are you avoiding wealth building because you lack information, or because of what you believe about money? Subscribe to The NEXT BIG THING with Keith D.

    7,000 Diseases. 4,800 Drugs. The Gap in Modern Medicine

    What if the biggest problem in medicine is not discovery, but what gets funded? In this episode of The NEXT BIG THING with Keith D. Terry, Keith sits down with Barbara Goodman, President and CEO of Cures Within Reach, to unpack one of the most overlooked challenges in healthcare: the gap between scientific possibility and what actually reaches patients. With more than 7,000 diseases worldwide and fewer than 5,000 approved drugs, the system does not fail because of a lack of ideas. Many promising treatments never fail scientifically—they fail financially. Barbara shares how her organization is addressing this “missing middle” by funding proof-of-concept clinical trials that unlock new uses for existing therapies and accelerate access to care. 🔍  In this episode, you will learn: • Why many promising treatments never move forward in traditional drug development  • How financial incentives shape what gets funded in healthcare  • What drug repurposing is and why it is gaining momentum  • The role of off-label use in real-world patient care  • How AI is accelerating the identification of new treatment opportunities  • Why some of the most impactful solutions may already exist This conversation goes beyond healthcare. It explores how systems prioritize, how innovation actually happens, and what it takes to move ideas from possibility to real-world impact.

    Young Men in Crisis: The Absence Nobody Will Admit

    60% of young men in America say no one cares whether they are okay. They are dropping out of college. Leaving the workforce. Disconnecting from relationships at four times the rate of young women. And flooding into the manosphere looking for someone — anyone — who will tell them they still matter. This episode is not about Andrew Tate. It is about every institution that handed him the audience. In this solo episode of The NEXT BIG THING, executive advisor and C-suite strategist Keith D. Terry makes three direct accusations — at the American family, the education system, and the church — and builds the case with hard data that the manosphere did not create this crisis. Absence did. And silence is making it worse. What Keith covers in this episode: The real numbers behind the young male crisis — and what the data says happens nextWhy Andrew Tate is a symptom, not the diseaseThe three institutions that abandoned young men and what each one must do nowWhat Scripture says is the non-negotiable assignment for older men right nowOne specific action you can take before this week is overThis is not a safe conversation. It is a necessary one. 🎙️ Hosted by Keith D.
