    From Run Athletics to Blackthumb: Rasheed Young’s Journey of ImpactI’m

    In this episode of The Living Room Podcast, we sit down with Rasheed Young — Queens native, cultural strategist, and former president of Run Athletics. In 1998, Rasheed co-founded the streetwear brand Cash is King, using his deep roots in hip-hop to build cultural momentum. A pivotal connection with Rev Run of Run-DMC led to the creation of Run Athletics, where Rasheed’s leadership helped launch Pastry Footwear with Vanessa and Angela Simmons. The brand quickly exploded into a $60 million enterprise, fueled by the popularity of MTV’s Run’s House and Young’s vision for merging fashion with culture.   But Rasheed’s story doesn’t stop there.   Today, he’s deeply committed to mentorship and social impact. Through programs aimed at stopping gun violence, Rasheed is helping young people rethink their value and purpose. One of his latest ventures, Blackthumb, places greenhouses on top of public schools — teaching kids how to plant, nurture, and grow life. His philosophy is simple but profound: “If you can teach a child how to nurture life, they’ll think twice before ever taking one.”   We speak on the importance of knowing your worth, the impact of the rooms you’re in, and how legacy is built not just by what you achieve, but by what you give back.

    You Can’t Heal What You Dont Face

    In this episode, we’re getting real about accountability, healing, growth, and relationships.   Too many of us avoid the hard conversations—with others and with ourselves. But the truth is, you can’t heal what you don’t face.   I talk about how real change starts when we stop blaming, start reflecting, and commit to showing up differently. Apologies are not just words—they’re actions. And when we take ownership of where we fall short, we unlock real progress.   We cover:   Why accountability is the key to healing How to recognize your role in conflict The importance of showing your value through action Why fallouts happen more in today’s disconnected world And how grace + communication can rebuild community This is about doing the work—and realizing that growth is possible, practical, and powerful.   Let’s stop avoiding and start evolving.

    Before You Start a Business, Learn This Millionaire’s Perspective

    Before I started my business journey, I met a man who stood out—reading a book at a Vegas pool party while everyone else was partying. I knew instantly he was different. What he told me that day stuck with me. In this video, I share the three mindset-shifting rules he gave me—rules that helped me navigate the emotional ups and downs, the broken promises, the lack of support, and even tough decisions like whether or not to be in a relationship while chasing success. If you’re about to start your own journey, or you’re already on the path and hitting walls, this video is for you. These three rules might just change how you think—and keep you grounded when things get real

    How Staying Focused Opened Doors for Kaleb Traylor in Baseball & Music

    Even though his parents split, they never let that stop them from making him the priority. Through strong co-parenting, they built his confidence, showed him what hard work and dedication look like, and ensured he had the tools to succeed—not just in sports, but in life.   Playing for a Salisbury baseball team in Connecticut, he kept his head up even when he wasn’t the best on the team. He stayed focused, maintained a 3.8+ GPA, and never stopped grinding. Now, his dedication has paid off—he’s headed to Missouri to play D1 baseball! This episode is about resilience, exploiting your talents, doing everything with heart, and finding your “why.” Because when you do, success will always follow. Tune in and be inspired!

    Who You Surround Yourself With Matters: Growth or Self Destruction

    Your environment shapes your future whether you grow or self-destruct often depends on who you surround yourself with. Isolation isn’t always the answer, especially if you’re struggling. Being around winners, people who see the best in you can make all the difference. The right circle will challenge you, support you, and pull greatness out of you, even when you don’t see it in yourself. I share a personal story about Swell, a moment where I had to step in and make sure he saw what he was truly capable of. Sometimes, when you’re around people who want to win, they don’t just push themselves—they push you too. That energy is contagious, it creates a cycle of growth, accountability, and success. Reach one, teach one. The more you’re surrounded by people who strive for the best, the more you develop the habit of doing the same for others. It pays forward naturally.
