“Let's Celebrate the Positivity in Black Music”
This is a special episode of the PLUSS Life. It features a conversation which was recorded in June 2022 for Black Music Month with our guest Tony "prof. t" Tolbert. Before we speak with Tony, there are some announcements about what to expect on the podcast.
PLUSS PROFILEToday's conversation, for this special episode of The PLUSS Life, is with Tony "prof. t" Tolbert. Tony is a record producer, singer, and songwriter. He is a former staff songwriter/producer for Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis' Flyte Tyme Productions. He also founded, performed, wrote and produced the group Lo-Key? on the Perspective/A&M Record label.
When I decided I wanted to have an episode for Black Music Month I knew he would be the perfect guest. We discuss how Tony started in the music industry, positivity in music and the songs that inspire him, lot's of memories of Hip Hop and R&B music from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and so much more.

“What will we learn from Mark V. Smith?”
The answer to that question is quite a bit. In the extensive show notes on PLUSSLife.com, there are numerous takeaways from this conversation. This is the first profile only episode of the PLUSS Life. During the break in the month of May, the show got new theme music and a decision was made to keep the episodes to about 45 minutes or no more than an hour. When there's a PLUSS Profile interview, none of the other segments will be included. More information about format changes will be shared in the next few weeks. Exciting times ahead!
PLUSS PROFILEToday's PLUSS Profile is with Mark V. Smith. Mark has a distinguished background in career counseling. He was a Re-employment Services and Eligibility Facilitator for the Department of labor and He served as vice president of the Middle Atlantic Career Counseling Association. In these roles and others, he worked with people and encouraged them to persevere through adversity. Currently he is still sharing his message as an award winning trainer at the Center for Urban Families in Baltimore MD, as well as through his podcast which you can find in all the places. It is called The Process. Now in it's 6th series, his podcast delivers both insight and strategies to defeat the storms in life. He makes excellent use of acronyms in order to drive home the key points of his messages and I'm sure he'll be sharing some of those today. A key part of his message is to GROW FORWARD, which is one of the most positive messages you can have.
