    Like a boss...

    In this episode I wanted to focus on a boss bit*h, so I went to one I knew.  My friend Darcy is CEO and founder of a fitness studio called Higher Ground Fitness.  She's also a mom, a wife, a step mom and SO many other things.  I wanted to know how she juggles it all, and how she got where she is.  She had so many levels I couldn't stop digging deeper.  Listen to be inspired, amazed and thoroughly entertained!!!!

    Black and Yellow...Black and Yellow

    Black and Yellow...Black and Yellow

    Black and Yellow together again!!  With all the Anti Asian hate going on I reached out to a long time friend to get his thoughts and feelings about everything.   I wanted to see how much race has played a part in his life.  What has he dealt with?? What has he had to overcome? Is there a difference in Asian racism vs Black racism??  I was surprised at our different experiences.  We also delve into him being adopted by white parents and what that was like growing up.  My boy has a beautiful story and I'm honored he let me help him tell it.  Take a listen, you'll be entertained and surprised!!!!

You are spot on on welfare. It’s the same argument I’ve had for years and I’m glad you’ve used your “platform” to inform! You can always shout me out anytime 🖤🖤🖤

George is the most real person I know. I love how you say what you’re feeling and don’t care. That is one of your greatest qualities. Your podcasts are so relatable and eye opening. So far all your topics have been great and I love listening to you. But you need to make time to do more.
