  1. Fast Friday: Get Comfortable Being By Yourself EP 109

    Fast Friday: Get Comfortable Being By Yourself EP 109

    Ask a question for the show Wouldn’t be a Fast Friday without hearing from Uncle Drew. The rain in Los Angeles finally cleared (for now), and that shift sparked a reflection on seasons, solitude, and self-discovery. Drew shares how four years living in Eugene, Oregon pushed him to get comfortable being alone, not waiting on people to make plans, not waiting on someone else to bring the energy, and not waiting for permission to explore life. This episode is about learning yourself in the quiet, moving with intention, and realizing you don’t need a crowd to start living fully. If you’ve been sitting around waiting on others to move first, this one’s for you.

    Life Is Meant to Be Shared EP 108

    Ask a question for the show In this episode of Too Good To Be Drew, I reflect on the emotional weight of an upcoming movie night featuring The Life of Chuck and Rental Family (both on Hulu) —two stories that remind us how deeply connection shapes the way we experience life. We talk about the quiet toll of disconnection, why growth isn’t meant to be a solo journey, and what it really looks like to invest in yourself so you can show up better for others. I also share a personal development opportunity on the horizon that I’m genuinely excited about as part of continuing to pour into my own growth. This episode is a reminder: stories move us—but it’s how we live with and for others that gives them meaning.

    Quiet Grind > Loud Hustle EP 107

    Ask a question for the show Everybody loves to say they’re “grinding,” but most haven’t even touched the tip of the iceberg. Real work isn’t performative — it’s consistent, quiet, and unglamorous. In this episode, I reflect on a recent stretch of flying and work that had to get done, and why that season of pushing reminded me not to idolize burnout. We talk about working with intention, resting with purpose, and why the people really handling business aren’t shouting it from the mountaintops — they’re 10 toes down, early mornings or late nights, building in silence. Work to live. Don’t live to work.

    Grow Out Loud: The Kai Cenat Effect EP 106

    Ask a question for the show Growth is rarely quiet. It’s awkward. It’s public. And most of the time, it’s uncomfortable. In this episode, I reflect on reading President Barack Obama's most recent book and the unexpected inspiration I found in Kai Cenat stepping away from streaming to pursue his dream of becoming a fashion designer. Two very different worlds. One powerful common thread: the courage to evolve in front of people. So many of us delay growth because we’re afraid of judgment, finger-pointing, or being laughed at while we learn something new. But what if we didn’t wait until we were “ready”? What if growth didn’t have to be private to be valid? This episode challenges you to reflect on where you may be shrinking your potential just to stay comfortable — and what might happen if you gave yourself permission to grow out loud.

    Super Bowl Commercials Missed the Spot EP 105

    Ask a question for the show Celebrity fatigue is a real thing... and I've got a bad case of it. Saturday Special breakdown of this year’s Super Bowl commercials and the growing sense of celebrity fatigue. With brands spending $8M+ for 30 seconds (and some reportedly hitting $10M), the ads looked flashy… but did they actually move us? In this episode, I talk about why throwing famous faces at the screen isn’t hitting the same, how audiences are craving originality over star power, and whether the ROI still matches the hype. From Super Bowl I’s $37,500 ad slots to today’s $8–10 million price tag, we unpack how the game has changed — and whether the creativity kept up with the cost. Real talk.
