    Ep 19 - Curing Violence Through Positive Fatherhood From System Designs to Personal Stories

    Can one small act of kindness change the direction of someone's life? In this powerful episode of Fathers Making Progress, host Terron Edwards sits down with David Sinclair, a longtime community advocate and violence intervention professional with 414LIFE, to explore what it really takes to prevent violence, build trust, and create safer communities. David shares his journey from growing up in Milwaukee's Highland Park housing community to participating in youth advocacy in Washington, D.C., attending Langston University, becoming a father, and dedicating his career to helping people impacted by violence. But this conversation goes deeper than crime statistics and headlines. David takes us inside the work of community violence intervention where outreach workers build relationships, respond to conflicts, support people in crisis, and try to prevent retaliation before another life is lost. One of the most unforgettable moments comes when David shares a story about helping a struggling father purchase diapers. What seemed like a simple act of kindness became an emotional encounter that revealed how close the man had been to a potentially violent decision. The conversation also explores the connection between fatherhood and community responsibility, how poverty and trauma shape people's experiences, why credible messengers matter, and how compassion and respect can create opportunities for change.00:22 - Can We Cure Community Violence? 02:05 - Meet David Sinclair of 414LIFE 03:01 - From Highland Park to National Youth Advocacy 05:29 - Education, Activism and Langston University 06:48 - How Neighborhood Conditions Affect Opportunity 09:54 - A Family Legacy of Community Organizing 12:14 - From Fatherhood to a Career of Service 14:30 - The History of Credible Messengers 15:49 - How Becoming a Father Changed Everything 16:34 - The Conversation That Changed David's Life 17:42 - Turning His Talents Into a Legal Business 20:10 - A Father's Responsibility to His Community 22:05 - A Day in the Life of a Violence Interrupter 24:36 - Why Violence Prevention Is Hard to Measure 26:22 - Changing the Community's Narrative 27:04 - Is Violence Intervention a New Civil Rights Movement? 28:54 - Trauma, Isolation and Young People's Experiences 32:43 - Facts or Cap: Myths About Community Violence 34:20 - Are Young People Driving Most Violence? 36:01 - Does Growing Up Around Violence Determine Your Future? 38:05 - What Should You Do When Conflict Escalates? 40:11 - How Respect and Permission Can De-escalate Conflict 41:40 - Building Relationships Through Small Acts of Kindness 43:15 - The Diaper Story: A Moment That Changed Everything 45:41 - You Could Be the Miracle in Someone's Story 46:08 - De-escalating Conflict in Co-Parenting 48:07 - Rapid Fire: Fatherhood, Investment and Loyalty 49:10 - Final Message: Get Involved and Build Relationships If this episode spoke to you, share it with another father, brother, or man who needs to hear this message because no matter where you are in life…You’re still making progress!

    S2 Ep 17 - Fatherhood Meets Entrepreneurship: Ownership, Money & Building Legacy

    What does it really take to build a business, create wealth, and leave something behind for the next generation? In this episode of Fathers Making Progress, Terron Edwards sits down with three experienced Milwaukee leaders and entrepreneurs for a powerful conversation about fatherhood, entrepreneurship, ownership, investing, mentorship, financial literacy, and legacy. The conversation moves beyond simply telling men to "work hard." The panel explores the importance of knowing your numbers, learning how money works, surrounding yourself with the right people, building systems, preparing for opportunities, and understanding the difference between owning a business and simply creating another job for yourself. You'll hear real stories about starting businesses with limited resources, building investment clubs, operating McDonald's franchises, growing airport retail businesses, learning from mentors, making mistakes, downsizing strategically, and creating businesses that can function beyond the founder. One of the biggest lessons? Hard work matters—but hard work without the right strategy, systems, financial knowledge, and relationships can only take you so far. This isn't just a conversation about making money. It's about building something that can outlive you. Stronger Fathers. Stronger Families. Stronger Communities. Key Moments: 00:46 Fatherhood Meets Entrepreneurship 01:33 Meet the Entrepreneurs & Community Leaders 03:23 Story Spotlight: From Milwaukee's 53206 to Business Ownership 08:24 From the Air Force to McDonald's Ownership 09:36 Why Entrepreneurs Have to Know Their Numbers 13:03 Why Success Doesn't Mean You're Finished Growing 15:34 From Law & Economic Development to Financial Education 16:37 How $25-a-Month Investing Can Build Wealth 18:37 The Investment Club That Grew to $1.1 Million 19:55 Why Talking About Money Can Be So Difficult 22:19 How Role Models Create Entrepreneurs 23:19 "I Learned How to Work" 25:42 Starting a Business With Limited Money 27:40 Facts or Cap: Can a Man Make It by Himself? 28:28 Why Nobody Really Makes It Alone 31:09 "Show Me Your Receipts" — Credibility in Business 33:13 You Don't Just Need People — You Need the RIGHT People 35:23 Why Ownership Matters 36:03 Why Communities Need Profitable Entrepreneurs 39:45 Everybody Wants the Butterfly—Nobody Wants to Be the Caterpillar 44:01 Stop Glorifying Struggle & Start Working Smarter 47:29 When Hustle and Grind Stop Working 48:40 Why More Growth Isn't Always Better 49:08 Your Business Needs Systems, Not Just Your Hard Work 50:19 Know How Much You Must Make Before You Make a Dollar 53:00 Be Ready When Opportunity Cracks the Door Open 54:30 Ask Better Questions When You Meet Successful People 56:31 Scarcity vs. Collaboration 57:27 Final Thoughts: Living Proof That You Can Make It 58:10 Stay Present, Stay Positive & Stay Making Progress If this episode spoke to you, share it with another father, brother, or man who needs to hear this message because no matter where you are in life…You’re still making progress!

    Ep 16 - Fatherhood Holistic Wellness, Whole Man, Whole Family

    What does it really mean to be a healthy father? Is it simply eating better and exercising... or is true wellness much deeper? In this powerful season finale of Fathers Making Progress, host Terron Edwards sits down with Coach Ambrose Wilson Brown, founder of Miss Bebo Fitness and Deep Health Coach, and endurance athlete Shirak "The Activeist" Berry for an honest conversation about holistic wellness. Together they explore why physical health is only one piece of the puzzle. They discuss emotional wellness, mental resilience, therapy, mindfulness, healthy relationships, accountability, grief, trauma, nutrition, and creating habits that help fathers live longer—not just for themselves, but for the families who depend on them. If you've ever struggled to balance work, family, purpose, and your own well-being, this conversation is a reminder that taking care of yourself isn't selfish, it's one of the greatest gifts you can give your children. Healthy fathers build healthy families, and healthy families build stronger communities. Key Moments: 02:09 Who Are You Beyond Your Title? 10:05 The Challenge of Staying Healthy as a Busy Father 14:43 One Breathing Technique Every Father Should Know 16:44 Why Most Men Struggle to Build Healthy Habits 20:45 Trauma, Grief & Why Men Stop Taking Care of Themselves 26:20 Building Accountability Between Men 31:00 Facts or Cap: Fitness vs. Health vs. Wellness 36:04 Therapy Isn't Only for Crisis 39:46 Is Healthy Eating Really Too Expensive? 41:05 Your Children Are Watching Your Habits 44:00 How Wellness Makes You a Better Partner 50:59 Protecting Your Peace Through Healthy Boundaries 54:17 Rapid Fire: Strength, Healing, Discipline & Peace 55:08 Final Thoughts: Healthy Fathers Build Healthy Families 5 Key Takeaways: 1. Holistic wellness is more than physical fitness. True health includes your mind, body, emotions, relationships, and purpose. A father can look healthy on the outside while silently struggling internally. 2. Your habits become your children's habits. Children learn more from what they see than what they hear. Every healthy—or unhealthy—choice a father makes becomes part of the example he leaves behind. 3. Healing starts with vulnerability. Whether it's therapy, mindfulness, breathwork, or trusted conversations with other men, healing begins when fathers stop carrying everything alone. 4. Accountability creates lasting change. Health isn't built through motivation alone. It's built through consistent habits, intentional planning, honest relationships, and people willing to check in on you before you're in crisis. 5. Taking care of yourself is taking care of your family. Self-care isn't selfish. Fathers who protect their physical, mental, and emotional health are better equipped to love, lead, provide, and remain present for the people who depend on them.

    Ep 14 - Fathers Who Build, Believe, and Pass It On

    What does it truly mean to leave a legacy? Is it wealth...A last name... Or is it something far greater? In this inspiring episode of Fathers Making Progress, host Terron Edwards is joined by Pastor Dr. Walter Lanier and Shawn Mitchell for a powerful conversation about faith, fatherhood, leadership, and the stories that shape generations. Together they explore how fathers build lasting legacies not through money, but through character, love, mentorship, and unwavering presence. The discussion touches on mental health, marriage, military service, storytelling, grief, faith, and the responsibility fathers have to lead both their families and their communities. Whether you're a father, mentor, grandfather, or simply someone trying to become a better man, this episode is a reminder that the greatest inheritance you can leave isn't what you own, it's who you become. "Legacy isn't what you leave behind. It's what lives on because of you." Key Take Aways: Legacy is built through character, values, and relationships—not money. Every father is writing a story that future generations will remember. Faith is believing in a better future before you can see it. Strong fathers don't have to be perfect—they have to be present. Storytelling helps people heal, connect, and preserve family history. Mental health matters, and fathers need safe spaces to be honest. Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. Male mentors can change the trajectory of a young person's life. Fatherhood doesn't end when children become adults. It's never too late to rebuild a relationship with your children. Children need consistency, stability, and a place where they always feel safe. Healthy marriages create strong families and lasting legacies. Community leadership begins at home. The greatest inheritance you can leave your children is your example. Key Moments: 00:22 Building Strong Communities Through Strong Fathers 00:44 Meet Rev.

    In this powerful episode of Fathers Making Progress, host Terron Edwards sits down with Professor Charles Robinson, attorney, mediator, founder of the Kalahari Institute, and Floyd "Wild Horse" Rowell, Urban Healer and conflict resolution specialist, to explore what it truly means for fathers to become protectors, peacekeepers, mediators, and healers. The conversation dives into conflict resolution, trauma, mindfulness, co-parenting, accountability, mediation, emotional healing, and why healing fathers create stronger families and stronger communities. Rather than leading through anger or control, these men challenge fathers to lead through wisdom, emotional maturity, accountability, and love. If you're a father... If you're co-parenting... If you're healing from trauma... Or if you simply want to become a better man... This episode is filled with practical wisdom that can transform families for generations.
