    Walking into the Ring of Life (Why You need a Strong Corner): Being Interviewed by Patrice Bonfiglio of The Burnout Club

    Loneliness is rising, burnout is spreading, and many of us are carrying emotional weight we rarely name. Whether it’s at work, in our relationships, or in the quiet corners of our own minds, people are struggling to stay grounded in a world that keeps pulling them in every direction. In this episode, I step into the guest seat — joined by host Patrice Bonfiglio of The Burnout Club — to explore the emotional habits and inner narratives that shape how we show up. I share how engineering, theology, sociology, and leadership all converge in my work, and why simplifying the complex matters for people trying to navigate the ring of life. We talk about workplace loneliness, identity, parenting, relationships, burnout, and the Script–Soul–Story framework that helps you rewrite your inner narrative. We also explore why Gen Z and Gen Alpha are hungry for purpose, why high capacity people burn out quietly, and how reflection helps us see ourselves and others more clearly. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to stay grounded when life feels heavy, this conversation is for you.

    Your Mother is Driving Me Crazy – Navigating Family & In-Law Relationships Over the Holidays

    The holidays bring joy, laughter, and… let’s be honest, tension. For many of us, the biggest challenge isn’t the turkey or the travel—it’s the in-laws. Have you ever felt drained after a family gathering, wishing you had handled a conversation differently? Or dreaded the annual clash with that relative who always seems to push your buttons? The truth is, family politics don’t take a holiday. But with the right mindset and strategies, we can turn tension into transformation. In this episode, we’ll explore practical ways to engage with in-laws and extended family during the holidays. From setting boundaries to reframing mindsets, we’ll talk about how to create peace without losing yourself—and maybe even discover new joy in the process.

    Say What You Mean. Mean What You Say: How to Practice Integrity

    Integrity. We want it. We expect it. But do we practice it? Have you ever felt betrayed by someone whose words didn’t match their actions? Or been promised something that never came to pass? That sting of disappointment isn’t just about broken commitments—it’s about broken character. Integrity isn’t simply about being good—it’s about being whole. It’s the alignment of speech, spirit, and follow-through. “Let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’”— I recall the ancient words of Jesus of Nazareth. Integrity what makes someone trustworthy, not just talented. In this episode, we’re diving into the art of integrity: what it means to be untouched, unbroken, and unwavering in character. We’ll unpack its ancient roots, examine how trust has eroded across politics, workplaces, and homes, and explore how Gen Z and Gen Alpha are quietly leading a return to values that matter. So let’s talk about how to say what you mean and mean what you say—because when your words build trust, your actions build legacy.

    Seeing the World: Understanding Culture Through Travel Abroad with Brian McIntosh

    Travel isn’t just about crossing borders. It’s about expanding your worldview. In this episode, we sit down with Brian McIntosh, a Toronto-based travel content creator who’s explored 120 countries and built a platform that challenges the mental barriers keeping people from experiencing the world. From safety and affordability to language and belonging, Brian helps everyday people become confident explorers. Brian is a Toronto-based travel content creator who has explored 120 countries and built a thriving platform that challenges the mental barriers keeping people from experiencing the world. Since his first international journey, he’s addressed common fears—“It’s not safe,” “I can’t afford it,” “I don’t speak the language,” “People like me aren’t welcome”—with clarity and confidence. As a leading voice in the luxury Black travel community, Brian’s work has been featured in Travel + Leisure and Essence Magazine, where he’s celebrated for his cinematic aesthetic and empowering message. His authentic storytelling has led to collaborations with over 100 brands, including Google, Adidas, Panasonic, luxury hotels, and tourism boards worldwide. Brian calls himself a “Visual Architect,” blending an engineer’s precision with an artist’s eye. Through stunning photography and immersive content, he proves that safety is achievable, luxury is accessible, and cultural differences are bridges—not barriers. He believes the world is eager to welcome curious travelers who show up with respect and openness. More than showcasing destinations, Brian equips his audience with mindset shifts and practical tools—from travel insurance and packing tips to cultural sensitivity and travel hacking. His honest conversations about navigating unfamiliar places, overcoming language gaps, and traveling as a person of color help transform “someday” dreamers into confident explorers. His mission is clear: to remove the roadblocks that keep people from seeing the world, and to prove that extraordinary travel experiences aren’t reserved for a select few—they’re waiting for anyone bold enough to challenge their own limitations. We’ll talk about what it means to see the world through a cultural lens, how to travel smart, and why representation in travel matters. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or still dreaming of your first passport stamp, this episode will equip you with practical tips and fresh perspective to help you move from hesitation to exploration.

    R.E.S.P.E.C.T. — What Does Respect Mean to Me/Thee?

    Respect… I want to feel respected. Why don’t I feel respected? Have you ever asked yourself that question? Or closer to home—have you ever walked into a room and felt invisible? Spoken your truth and been met with silence—or worse, dismissal? It’s the ache of being unseen, unheard, and undervalued. This isn’t just about courtesy—it’s about dignity. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. It’s more than a song—it’s the soul’s desire to be recognized, honored, and held. In this episode, we’re diving into the deep—and often misunderstood—art of respect. We’ll explore what it truly means to give and receive it, why it matters across cultures and relationships, and share 4 key ways to show respect that actually lands—so others feel honored, and you feel whole.

    Do you really need 10,000 hours to be great? How Mastery Is Really Built

    Talent gets attention. Skill gets paid. Talent is what people admire from a distance—it’s the spark, the potential, the “wow” factor. But skill? Skill is talent that’s been refined, repeated, and repurposed for the public good. It’s what people pay to see, hear, or experience—because it delivers value, consistently. But do you really need 10,000 hours to be great, as Malcolm Gladwell suggests, to earn that kind of recognition? Join me in this episode as we explore how greatness might be closer than we think—and how intentional practice can accelerate the journey.
