    Is the Podcast Game Falling Apart? Ownership, Equity & Surviving Predatory Deals

    In this thought-provoking clip from "Black Out with Ian & Rashad," hosts Ian Dunlap and Troy Millings dive deep into the evolving landscape of the podcast industry and raise an urgent question: *Is the podcast game falling apart?* The conversation kicks off with the headline news that Underdog Fantasy now owns 50% of Gilbert Arenas’ podcast, potentially leading to downsizing and fewer episodes if the show doesn’t meet expectations. Ian and Troy reflect on recent drama in the podcast scene, including disputes between prominent figures and the real struggles behind the scenes that many content creators are facing. Troy emphasizes that outward success, like massive viewership or social media highlights, can be misleading—reminding listeners that real sustainability comes from ownership, equity, and smart dealmaking. He warns against signing predatory streaming and podcast deals, highlighting how lucrative partnerships can sometimes strip creators of control and value in the long term. Ian offers essential advice for aspiring content creators: Don’t rely solely on ad dollars. Instead, focus on building diversified revenue streams—like premium content on Patreon, offering products and services, and leveraging your free content to grow a loyal audience. The hosts give shoutouts to successful creators who’ve thrived by combining free gateway content with exclusive offerings, using their own platforms (Market Mondays, Red Panda, EYL University) as examples. They also discuss the reality that most top podcasts are hosted by celebrities leveraging their existing fame, which gives them a head start that newcomers don’t have. But they stress the importance of finding your own unique niche, building valuable skillsets, and not copying everyone else’s model. Key takeaways from this clip include: - Why ownership and non-dilutable shares matter more than high view counts - The dangers of predatory podcast and streaming deals - How to use your platform to build sustainable, diversified income beyond ads - The advantages and challenges of coming into podcasting as an industry outsider - The value of a niche, high-quality audience versus a broad but unengaged one Whether you’re a current or aspiring podcaster, or just interested in the business side of content creation, this clip is packed with game you can use right now. 👍 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more honest conversations on business, culture, and entrepreneurship. #PodcastBusiness #ContentOwnership #GilbertArenas #PodcastIndustry #BlackOutPodcast #IanDunlap #TroyMillings #ContentCreation #Entrepreneurship #AdDollars #MediaGame #Equity #StayIndependent --- **Watch the full conversation for more insights and strategies for navigating the world of podcasts and media deals!** Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    Perspectives on Polygamy: Cultural Roots, Financial Realities, and Western Bias

    This thought-provoking clip from "Black Out with Ian & Rashad" dives headfirst into the cultural, financial, and emotional realities of polygamy, challenging Western perspectives and unpacking practices rooted in African traditions. Hosts Troy Millings, Ian Dunlap, and Rashad Bilal share candid insights about how polygamy operates, including the surprising fact that women—not men—often recruit additional wives in some African cultures. The trio examines notions of equality, emotional well-being, and mental health in polygamous relationships, and highlights the economic sophistication behind household arrangements. But the conversation doesn't stop there. Troy reflects on how Western society normalizes cheating while stigmatizing polygamy, raising questions about family structures, divorce, and single-parent households. Ian brings up the financial implications—from the cost of supporting multiple wives to the money that flows through divorce lawyers in consumer-driven America. Whether you’re curious about traditions abroad, interested in how travel shapes perspective, or just want to hear incisive dialogue about love and responsibility, this clip will get you thinking beyond cultural norms. The hosts don’t take sides but offer education, personal stories, and authentic curiosity, making this a must-watch for anyone open to learning about relationships around the globe. 🔔 **Listen, subscribe, and join the conversation!

    Diddy’s Sentencing: Was It Fair? Breaking Down the Man Act, Race & Public Opinion

    In this clip from Black Out with Ian & Rashad, Ian Dunlap and Rashad Bilal dive into the shocking details of Diddy's recent sentencing under the Man Act. Rashad provides historical context, explaining the origins of the Man Act from the Jack Johnson era, and highlights how race and high-profile status intersect in cases like Diddy’s. The hosts discuss the unusually harsh 50-month sentence, considering the average for similar cases is far lower. Ian shares his perspective on how politics and public sentiment may have played a role in the judge's decision, touching on personal experiences within the legal system and the powerful impact of a defendant’s reputation. Rashad questions the fairness of leveraging acquitted charges to impose a heavier sentence and invites listeners to reflect on the broader implications for justice in America. The conversation expands to the reality of court bias, societal perceptions, and why the outcome—even though Diddy avoided the harshest charges—still feels like a punitive message. Both hosts emphasize the critical lessons of staying out of the legal system and making better choices, especially for those in the spotlight. The clip closes with speculation about rumors and advice on how Diddy should handle his life moving forward.

    Candace Owens: Dangerous Voice in Media? + Martial Law & Political Power Plays

    Welcome to "Black Out with Ian & Rashad"! In this powerful clip, your hosts Ian Dunlap and Rashad Bilal dive deep into the most pressing issues facing Black America today—from the impact of outspoken figures like Candace Owens, to the alarming rise of martial law in major cities like Chicago, D.C., and Memphis. We kick things off by asking: Is Candace Owens the most dangerous voice in media right now? Ian and Rashad break down the difference between bravery and recklessness when speaking out against powerful institutions—and whether being "intelligent and fearless" makes someone truly dangerous, or just a target. Then, we tackle the intensifying mobilization of National Guard units across U.S. cities. Is this the preseason of martial law, or just political grandstanding? Ian gives an insider perspective on what these moves mean for Black and Latin communities—especially those holding valuable lakefront properties in places like Chicago. Rashad shares his thoughts on political hypocrisy, referencing media reactions to controversial leaders and questioning why obvious threats are sometimes normalized. Together, the hosts examine the real motivations behind government policies and the elite interests that guide media narratives. The discussion turns to the Democratic Party’s role within Black communities. A thought-provoking video clip leads Ian and Rashad to critically analyze whether Democrats are truly incentivized to improve the lives of Black voters—or if they benefit by perpetuating cycles of victimization, systemic racism, and lack of opportunity. Financial literacy, education, and personal accountability get put under the microscope. The hosts highlight how access to essential life skills is systematically blocked and why real change may require a collective shift—beyond political talking points and empty promises. Is there anyone brave enough in today’s political climate to stand up for what’s right? Are either major party actually fighting for progress, or just selling the illusion of hope? This conversation is raw, real, and packed with insight for anyone questioning the current state of media, politics, and community empowerment.
