Part two of my series “The Journey” focuses on how I became a prisoner of my own thoughts. There was an experimental study conducted by a few college Universities to study the effects of placing monkeys in a cage. The monkeys became enemies and kept each other from leaving instead of helping each other. I spent YEARS trying to break myself free of this mentality, and it wasn’t until I surrounded myself with positivity that I realized how important it was to have a community of brothers....

This is the first installment of a new series I’m titling “THE JOURNEY.” The journey is where true character is revealed. Most people rave about the destination because it gives them a reason to keep striving. The journey actually encourages more people because it teaches us how to remain strong, even when the destination isn’t in sight. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

How can you tell if the weight you’re carrying is strengthening you or hindering you? Physically, heavy weights can be a sign of endurance. Emotionally, a heavy heart can be a sign of burdens that we are not meant to carry. I’ve learned that God is willing to help me carry heavy weights whenever I’m willing to ask for it.

What happens when a boy is told to “man up,” without ever having a man in his life? What happens when a boy doesn’t know how to treat women respectfully, because he never saw a man treating his mother respectfully? How can we encourage those who grew up without a father (or father figure) in a society that has diminished the true essence of manhood? I brought my father back for another episode to discuss the importance of masculinity, NOT the way we define it, but the way God ordained it....

During the current lockdown, I’ve had more than enough time to learn about investing. I’ve spent more time investing into myself, my craft, my business, and my ministry. I asked my brother to help me discuss effective ways of investing into ourselves.

Today, I was joined by Larry Smith jr (IG: @lsmithii), Calvin Carey jr (IG: @kinghearted_cal), and Kenneth Loney jr (IG: @_mrkenlo). We reflected on the impact of this quarantine, particularly in the black community, while offering our perspectives on how we as Men can continue to uphold our faith, morals, and responsibilities during a crisis. “The first unaccomplished goal of the day is hitting the snooze button to an alarm you set the night before.” Many of us use the snooze button to...

Two questions were imposed today: What’s something you have, but wish you didn’t? And what’s something you don’t have, but wish you did? Accountability plays a huge factor in whether or not I can create a friendship with other men. I was joined today by three men who helped expound on the importance of honesty and transparency. Enjoy! -TSM 💪🏾 (w/ special guests LJ Smith, Calvin Carey, and Emmanuel Brooks) **DUE TO PRECAUTIONS SURROUNDING THE CORONAVIRUS, WE AIRED THIS EPISODE VIRTUALLY. THE...

Today, I had a very in-depth discussion with my military brother and best friend, Matt Rajt. Our goals have always been similar, but our paths have always been different. Your upbringings, morals, principles, and values don’t make you any better or worse than anyone else. It just makes you different. A table of diversity only works if everyone at the table is willing to understand before being understood. When you can ask the right questions, it prevents you from assuming the wrong answers....

Learning how to invest, is just as important as learning WHAT to invest. William Buffet once said “The best investment you can make is an investment in yourself. The more you learn, the more you’ll earn.” -TSM 💪🏾 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

We begin the second season by discussion New Year Resolutions. Making a decision to change your habits isn’t an issue. Failing to follow through with the decision is the issue. This season will consist of more special guests, more controversial topics, and more topics that require a series. It will take longer than 45 minutes to break down and properly dissect certain things (particularly those pertaining to The Bible), and the goal is to ensure everyone leaves with a better understanding of...

While everyone is in the “holiday spirit,” it tends to be viewed as the spirit of giving. Today, I got to sit and discuss with my childhood friend, Raphael Mostyn, about how giving back is one of the ultimate gifts of life. We discussed the importance of giving back, passing down wealth, and the “Mostyn Community Development.” Enjoy! -TSM 💪🏾

Being selfless is a great attribute to have. It means you value the well-being of everyone you’re connected with. It’s just as important to understand that being selfless does NOT mean you place everyone else’s happiness before your own. Far too many people find themselves burnt out from exhausting their time and effort to help someone else without ever taking the time to care for themselves. Join us as we discuss the different perspectives of what it means to be selfless. #TSM 💪🏾

The church is slowly turning into a court room, where people will be a judge of your sins, but a lawyer for their own. In an attempt to restore faith, hope, and cohesion within the church, I felt led to start a series that’ll allow those with opposing views to sit and discuss their perspectives regarding the subject. Join me and my special guest, Pastor Kellen Brooks, as we discuss one of the more prominent topics plaguing the church: Church Hurt. --- This episode is sponsored by ·...

Being a PK (preacher’s kid), I often get questioned, interrogated, and even ridiculed by peers. I openly answer any questions they have regarding the church. But to me clear and direct, being a PK does not mean I automatically agree with everything being done and said in the church. It’s quite contrary. The church has slowly turned into a court room, where people will be a judge of your sins, but a lawyer for their own. I’ve decided to bring my Father/Pastor (Larry A. Smith Sr) on this...
