    Grumpy Wizdom - On The Journey - Episode 10

    “Life is the longest experience we’ll ever have.” What if we’ve never missed anything we thought we missed? What if every moment, every breath, every decision is part of the journey? In Episode 10, Talib Jasir steps fully into his role as an autoethnographer, examining his lived experience against socialized truths and inherited beliefs. He calls out the myth of missing the boat, questions the pressure to find a singular purpose, and reframes the journey as something we build in real time. This episode is a reminder to stay the course, even when the map don’t make sense. Sparked by a social thread from a friend, and grounded in quotes from Dr. Maya Angelou and the film Sinners, Talib reflects on what it means to live on your own terms, in your own rhythm, and without apology. Because the journey was never about arrival. It’s about making this life count.

    Grumpy Wizdom - On Creativity - Episode 8

    What does it mean to claim yourself as a creative? In this episode, Talib Jasir breaks down the myth that creativity is only for artists or those with formal training. He takes us into his personal archive—from childhood rap crews and wack lyrics to coaching creative entrepreneurs, parenting young artists, and producing layered sonic worlds with Grumpy Wizdom. This one’s a meditation and a mirror. On the harm we’ve absorbed. The art we’ve buried. The courage it takes to be seen. Talib reminds us that creating is more than content—it's a way of life, a form of resistance, and an act of liberation. Whether you're holding a mic, a paintbrush, or a vision only you can see, this is a reminder: your ideas came to you for a reason. Honor them.

    Grumpy Wizdom - On Resistance - Episode 7

    In this raw and reflective episode of Grumpy Wizdom, Talib Jasir walks us through his personal history of protest. From high school to New York City street, each story becomes a time capsule of resistance. With conviction and clarity, Talib revisits early moments—his first silent protest, discovering Nation of Islam's newspaper The Final Call, and the energy of D.C.’s political awakenings. He shares memories from May Day to the Million Man March, reminding us how the struggle evolves and how we pass on rebellion as a birthright. Whether challenging police brutality or standing firm against injsutice anywhere, Talib calls us to intentional, strategic resistance—and to atonement not as guilt, but as a lifelong responsibility to ourselves and the people.

    Grumpy Wizdom - On Belonging - Episode 5

    In this episode of Grumpy Wizdom, Talib Jasir steps into the heat—literally and figuratively—to reflect on a life lived for others. From the sweat-soaked platforms of Fulton Street to the internal interrogation sparked by a single voice asking, “Why are we doing this?”, Talib walks us through the moment he began reclaiming his freedom. He doesn’t just talk belonging—he deconstructs it. What does it mean to belong to yourself in a world that socializes you to serve others first? What happens when we live like we owe our time, talent, and truth to everyone but ourselves? Through personal narrative, spiritual insight, and hard-earned clarity, Talib challenges us to name the invisible contracts we've signed and invites us to tear them up.

    Grumpy Wizdom - On Risk - Episode 4

    What would it take for you to finally say: enough? In this raw and revelatory episode of Grumpy Wizdom, host Talib Jasir steps into a pivotal moment—when grief, reflection, and truth cracked open a path to liberation. What begins as an ordinary workday becomes a defining shift, one that challenges him to risk familiarity for freedom. This isn’t a how-to. It’s a meditation on what risk actually costs... and what it opens up when you're bold enough to move without a blueprint. Talib shares the intimate story of losing his grandfather, facing workplace apathy, and standing at the edge of one of the biggest decisions of his life. Through memory, momentum, and a deck of affirmation cards, he reminds us what it means to say yes to yourself—even when you're not sure how. If you've ever questioned your timing, your boldness, or your next move—this one's for you. Listen, feel, reflect—and maybe, choose.
