Take Your Job and Love It…

How to transition from being an employee to being a BOSS

If your interested in hearing how to take your current job and love it, tune into this episode, if your know of someone that could benefit for this shift in mindset please share it. I’ll share specific takeaways on how you can “Take Your Job and Love It” in a Medium post.

I met Jon in my local DD at the time he worked the evening shift, his attention to detail and sense of purpose piqued my interest. If the tables or restroom needed cleaning and they were short staffed he did it, he was constantly in motion during his shift; when he delegated task to his team, he didn’t bark out orders, he provided direction.

I’d come in grab a cup of coffee, a muffin, sit in the corner and work on my blog. After about year or so we got to talking about running, that’s when I found out his father was Miguel Castro. Miguel is the guy, along with Sean who talked me into doing my first marathon-talk about the world being small.

Jon’s character and work ethic as an employee is what prepared him for opening his own business.

Retail is a Petri dish where you get to practice your leadership and customers service skills, in time they will flourish if you diligently practice, every interaction is an opportunity for you to master your craft. I hope you enjoy this episode.

In 2019 I embarked on cross country tour in search of 35 Unicorns. The plan was to visit 35 States, run a 5k during the week and half marathon on the weekends. It would be a mini-documentary while driving a Mini Cooper across the country and interviewing "Unicorns" aka ordinary people who were doing EXTRAordinary things within their communities. After two blown engines and a totaled vehicle after being rear-ended the dream would not become a reality. Nevertheless I persisted! That sounds good, but that's not the reality, I was disappointed and viewed it as a public failure.

The only person I shared the failed attempt with was my sister, I told her how I felt. I felt horrible. It was as if let those who believed in me down. I took some time to lick my wounds. All of the feelings that I experienced during the Unicorn Hunting Project were starting to resurface, because my car needed to be taken to the shop, and my driver's lic. had expired. Life happens to all of us, but its how we respond that matters. I put off airing this episode for months.

Recently, Jeri Villarreal has been reframing failure in here post and it resonated, I've been chewing on those words for a minute. Jeri said: "Remember that time you failed and it hurt so bad that it almost broke you? Then you told yourself that comforting lie to take away the pain, normalize the experience and explain away the painful result. Then, years later, the only thing that you remember is that lie you told yourself. It becomes your truth. It becomes the foundation that you base yourself upon. I've made it my mission to dismantle those lies at their foundation by purposefully doing the very thing that created it. By addressing the fear that started it all and overcoming the challenge, the lie falls away because it doesn't serve me anymore. That is how I make room for success in life. I remove those lies, those fear-based stories It is up to us to change our own narratives."

Jeri's words influenced me to jot down a few thoughts in am upcoming Medium post.

Over the years, prior to running, I found myself in some tight situations. When I say it like that it makes it seem as though, I wasn't in control of what was going, as if I was a victim of circumstance, when in fact the opposite was true-I ended up in those situations because of the choices I'd made in my life. At this stage in my life, I'm trying to make better choices. Writing is something I'm working on improving, so I stopped by Barnes & Nobles for a few resources.

Listening to politicians trying to interpret what Trump say in plain english is hilarious. No, it's actually an insult to all Americans and people all over the world. What's more frustrating is the denouncing game the media plays for ratings. If you've gotta corner someone with a microphone and a camera in order for them speak out against something they strongly believe, their statement shouldn't even be taken seriously because it was coerced.

Do you remember a song by Dj Khaled "No New Friends?" It was out in 2013 the video has over 32million views and I'd venture to say some people have literally taken the lyrics to heart. I'd like to suggest making some new friends, venture outside of your comfort zone and connect with other likeminded individuals and you'll be amazed at what happens. I'm not suggesting this as a self serving one-sided relationship, where you're just looking to receive. No! Friendships, like communication are a two way street.

Making new friends as we get older can be difficult, but it's not impossible Nikkis and Zsa-Zsa prove that it can be done. Nikkis admired a quality in Zsa-Zsa so she reached out to her, Zsa-Zsa respected and appreciated Nikkis humor and transparency. The two would become friends and while we were in the early stages of the lock-down the friends launched a business Exposed Vegan.

Have you ever had one of those days where you felt like you wanted to get back in bed and start over? Some mornings I roll over while still in bed and check my social media feed before actually getting up to starting the day-this is not the best practice-I'll be the first to admit I'm not perfect. There are some mornings when I'm outraged by what I see online and that causes me to jump up and start the the day. The inconsistency is not good and the beautiful thing about us as humans is we can change.

Group thinking can be dangerous I know we’re upset with the Breonna Taylor situation specifically Daniel Cameron decision to hide behind the Grand Jury, but a roasting session of Daniel Cameron is not going to bring back Breonna Taylor.

No one person has the power to excommunicate a black person from the black community, if you’re born black you gonna die. My concern with the excommunication philosophy is it can very easily force people into group thinking and they start becoming obsessed with being excepted by the popular group.

I’ve set my expectations low on purpose when it comes to our justice system as personal self care strategy and to keep from becoming apathetic or going on an emotional roller coaster ride. I sometimes get the feeling that part of the strategy is to wear us out to the point where we just give up, but we can’t afford to quit. I’m past the point of trying to muster up more outrage from the day before, now it’s about conserving my energy and thinking and acting strategically and not acting off of my impulses or emotions, because those don’t always lead to my best decisions.

I listened to Daniel Cameron’s press conference and then I spoke to a few attorneys before formulating an opinion about the decision. I’ll share a few thoughts here and more later in a medium post, but basically the Attorney General’s job is to present the facts of the case, they are influential, if they want absolve themselves of any responsibility they’ll hide behind the Grand Jury’s decision-it’s out of my hands.

Tiffany Johnson, 37, who lives in Woodside, was attacked back in August while out for a jog, her only crime was she was running while black in America. Running while black is not a crime in America, but you couldn't tell by frequency with which we are pulled over and harassed by the police for engaging in a simple physical activity-apparently we fit the description. Tiffany said her instinct was to avoid further confrontation. “I just wanted to get away from her as quickly as possible. My safety was my first concern. Her mentality is her problem,” she said. “I don’t really like to take on other people’s issues. That she thinks that way is her problem, not my problem.” Noting Black women often have to deal with casual and overt acts of racism, Johnson had this advice: “Don’t let anyone steal your joy.”

Why are we constantly having to take the high road? There are two school of thoughts some people feel Tiffany was a punk, for letting that old white woman treat her like that, then they go on to say: "I woulda beat her ass." I don't know how I would've responded in that moment. It would not be a a good look for me as a black man beating up an old white woman. Let's play this out the cops arrive on the seen they see me a black man beating up this old white woman they're not going to be asking too many questions-I'm going to get arrested. This whole incident helped to realize I need to memorize at least one persons phone number. It takes a great deal of restraint to think before acting on impulse.

We’ve been following this story for a few weeks now on first on Instagram and then on Facebook, within several running groups. I wanted to hear directly from the REBUILDNYRR, so I reached out to them for an interview, I’ve also reached out to the NYRR, as of the recording of this episode they have not responded.

Initially, I was hoping to have an actual conversation with a representative from REBUILDNYRR, but they were concerned about retaliation. I even suggested altering their voice as an option, we finally agreed to responding to a few questions. This episode was made possible by Play.ht from an article that I posted on Medium, "Rebuild New York Road Runner, Current & Former Employees Appeal For Change"

It's a typically day in Bridgeport CT., I had just finished posting the episode for the day and was ready to start my day, but not before grabbing a cup of coffee from DD. I observed a category 5 customer interaction and made a few notes when I got back to my car, after I finished writing I went and spoke to the manager about the incident.

A gentle nudge in the right direction got me across the finish line of in Hartford CT. for my first marathon, but it took two years of coaxing from my sister to get me to actually head out for my first run around downtown Bridgeport-why? Why did I agree to run 26.2miles without even knowing how long 26.2miles was? All it took was a casual conversation with two acquaintances in Home Depot and I started down the road to living a healthy lifestyle.

At my core I am a teacher, a coach of sorts, I am a human potential developer.

After the 2007 economic crash, many individuals were faced with unemployment and the challenge of finding a new career, leading some to venture into what has become one of the fastest growing industries over the last decade. This is an excerpt from a 2014 article written by Greta McClain, Read more: Digital Journal. Interestingly enough, around 2007 was when my fascination podcasting and audio started, as with most things I get interested in I started researching the coaching industry, buying books listening to podcasts, attending workshops and seminars. My belief then was that we could benefit from training and that hasn't changed-I believe it now more than ever.

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to those of you who tune into the BTW Podcast, I certainly appreciate YOU; your support allows me to share stories of ordinary people doing EXTRAordinary things within their communities. During my travels around the state I come in contact with individuals, business owners and entrepreneurs and I'd share the podcast with them, but I had no way of allowing them to support the podcast prior to Ko-fi-the same could be said of those online. I was introduced to Ko-fi by Latoya Shauntay Snell a fellow podcaster and runner. Since the inception of BTW Podcast I've been hesitant to ask for listener support. Nothing great was ever created in a vacuum alone by one person, your support of the vision of BTW Podcast allows me to share stories of incredible individuals, it provides entertainment hope and inspiration to those who tune in to each episode.

They're are so many creative people within the running community/beyond and under the umbrella of RUNUTAINMENT the CREATIVE RUNNING COLLECTIVE will create Netflix type stories for your ears. While I love audio, I know everyone may not share my passion, some people may prefer the written word. With that in mind we're introducing UINC. & RUNUTAINMENT Magazines, UINC. will focus on leadership, entrepreneurship, and RUNUTAINMENT will capture the written stories from the guest that appear on the BTW Podcast for the month.

Although I was born in Barbados and raised in Brooklyn. I had no real connection to my birthplace until I visited the county in 1976, that visit changed everything. It was a father son retreat, it wasn't billed out as such at the time. Saturday mornings were devoted to spending time with my Dad while he worked side jobs in the neighborhood. I couldn't wait until it was my turn, because my brother would come home with all sorts of treats. By the time I was old enough the tradition came to an abrupt halt. A fellow podcaster (Alex Hobby) from Canada sent me a post about Barbados's intention to remove the Queen as the head of state. Buckingham Palace said Barbados’s intention to remove the Queen as head of state and become a republic was “a matter for the government and people of Barbados.” Downing Street said: “It’s a decision for Barbados, and we will continue to have an enduring partnership.” Entrepreneurial spotlight Surf Vs Turf in Bridgeport CT.

We all have our own personal bias, I jokingly say, I assume everyone with a pickup and a large American flag flapping in the wind is a racist-there's no factual data to support my claim. Then there's this thing I have against Subaru owners, 99.9% of the time when I'm cutoff on the highway it's by someone driving a Subaru-again there's no statistical data to support my claim. I don't actually believe these claims, its just a sneaky suspicion I have based on my own experience. One of my good friends owns a Subaru and she owned a pick up truck minus the flag-She's good people.

The problem occurs when people in positions of power act off of their ridiculous beliefs. In today's episode I share a story about Kevin Edmonds, an OBYN who still gets concerned when he sees the flashing lights in his rear view mirror. We cover 45 confusion with Herd Mentality and Heard

Immunity. Finally, canned apologies don't eliminate the pain Jim Kramer called the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi "Crazy Nancy" to her face on national television, this would never be the case if she was a man.

There are those in the media who will go to great extremes to justify their position even in the face of being dead wrong, in the middle of trying to contort themselves into a lie the truth is trampled on. Andrew Gillum is in the news being praised for coming out as bi-sexual, his sexuality was never an issue for me bringing it up now is pointless.

Book publishing is a business, his publishers obviously did the math and figured out they'd get the most bang for their buck leading up to the election. IMHO releasing the information earlier wouldn't have made a difference, this administration would've have done what their doing now downplaying the revelation. The mainstream media gallops around town on their high horses as if they've got a lock on information and journalistic integrity, meanwhile they don't call Trump on his racist BS during the press conferences, they let him off with softball questions and don't support each other in getting to the heart of the matter for the American public. Yet we're supposed to believe they have our best interest at heart. No! It's all about sound bites first for their respective stations

In his words Ernest is a Professor | Writer | African Americanist | Cultural Theorist | Joyist, he's also an avid runner who recently discovered a passion for cycling. Professor Gibson is the author of Salvific Manhood. Salvific Manhood foregrounds the radical power of male intimacy and vulnerability in surveying each of James Baldwin’s six novels. Asserting that manhood and masculinity hold the potential for both tragedy and salvation, Ernest L. Gibson III highlights the complex and difficult emotional choices Baldwin’s men must make within their varied lives, relationships, and experiences. In Salvific Manhood, Gibson offers a new and compelling way to understand the hidden connections between Baldwin’s novels. In this episode we talk about the book and his road to running.

In today's episode, we talk about switching up your news diet and a NYT article -(faces of power). In the wake of 911, I log on to Twitter before the broadcast I noticed #allbuildingsmatter. My sister survived the tower attacks and I wouldn't make jokes about a tragic event. I can see the irony in the hashtag. I don't own any pearls and if I did, I wouldn't be clutching them now even at the sight of seeing the hashtag #allbuildingsmatter. #Allbuildingsmatter is an an absurd response to 911 just as #alllivesmatter and #bluelivesmatter is to #blacklivesmatter. There's enough outrage to be dispersed throughout the world, I'd like to conserve mine for things that matter.

I am no longer outraged are surprised by what comes out of this administration. It becomes a ridiculous exercise to try to muster up a new level disgust, contempt and surprise from the previous day.

What I can do is focus on the things I can control within my sphere of influence. Leadership is something that is important to me, it’s a topic that I’ve been curious about for years. I’ve invested money into my own personal leadership development, when courses and supplemental leadership seminars were offered by companies I worked for I registered for them, because I could take those learnings with me and apply it to my personal and professional life.

World class leaders are servants, they define reality, they surround themselves with talented people and they release them to do their jobs. They don’t constantly lie and divide that strategy doesn’t work for long term success. All some people know is the carrot and the stick and that model of leadership is outdated.

People are a lot more savvy nowadays we have access to tons of information at our fingertips. Anyone that allows themselves to be manipulated by this administration deserves what they get.

When we're starting something new, we have to allow a grace period, a time to master basics, before moving to the next level. Rushing stages, trying to skip levels will only lead to frustration and wasted time. The worst thing you can do is compare yourself to others. Learn to enjoy the journey.

We all face our own private battles, some give us a peek into the interior working of their lives in hopes of inspiring others who maybe going through a similar trial. There's not right way or wrong way to handle your personal situation. The creator in me might be inclined to document thing and somethings, but some private and never make the light of day.

The truth still matters, even though some may want to create an alternate universe, the truth still matters. Even those that believe in alternative facts they don't want to be lied to. A hard truth to deal with is, if the democrats take the same approach in 2016 we're going to have a repeat performance.

Death is a part of life, there's no escaping the grave. Make the most out of your life while you're here, we don't know how much time will be afford to us. Khalia Wright the CEO/Founder of MessInABottle posted something earlier in the week about, keep sharing, someone will hear you-(I'm paraphrasing). I received that message, but I didn't take a screenshot or repost it on my timeline. A few days later, Amanda the Digital Marketing Manager for Marathon Sports and SoundRunner hit me up to write a piece on Increasing Diversity & Inclusion in Running I was happy to share a few thoughts on the matter. I don't see many people of color running in CT and I'd like to change the complexion of running in the State. It is in the best interest of running shoe manufactures and brands within the running/endurance community to see an increase in the color of the sport.

Alex always enjoyed things in relation to audio. he started off as a rapper (his lyrics were more focused on the uplifting feeling, being there for each other and the feeling that you are on top of the world). As he became older, he decided to play around with music production programs to release the musical melodies that were bouncing around in his head. When it came to his instrumental style, he created everything from scratch and Alex enjoyed making the following style of music: Classical, Hip Hop, R&B, Lo-Fi, Scores (epic movie music). As much as I enjoy making music, I always wanted to make something that everyone can enjoy (music is subjective so I was limiting the potential people I can connect with).

As Alex got older his voice became deeper, to the point where he started sounding like a radio host. I had to ask, Yo Alex is that your real voice, his response: "Yes, that is indeed my real voice."

Kyle Rittenhouse is a murderer PERIODT! Rittenhouse is not a hero, he's a homegrown terrorist, he's not defending the American way of life. OMG please with the 17 year old boy narrative, trying to humanize his vicious intentional actions. I don't care how they try and spin this murder, Rittenhouse was not resolving any issue. Armed vigilantes are not deputized police officers. Police officers in Kenosha are partly responsible for the murder of the two people who were killed and theres enough blame to spread around to Tucker Carlson, Fox Media and the guy occupying space on Pennsylvania Ave.

Last week was the anniversary of me being called into the police station in Stamford for questioning because a white girl felt uncomfortable and jumped out of my vehicle, I didn't think much of it at the time. I reported the incident to Uber incase there was any black lash or claims of injury submitted to the insurance company; after a conversation with a friend who's an attorney, I was left with my jaw hanging. Brenda asked "Why did you go into the station with out an attorney?" I said: "I just wanted to get it over with." Why did I say that? In my mind, I figured I didn't do anything wrong so I didn't have anything to hide.

Brenda was sharing her 20 plus years of experience with me and it helped to shape the direction in which I'll take the trailer I submitted to the PRX Google Podcaster Program. Brenda asked if I just want to get through the episodes or do I take the time to do research, edit produce and secure guest for the show, the answer is NO! No, I don't rush through the process. Brenda, said thats exactly why so many people are hemmed up in the legal system today, because they just wanted to get through it.

This episode was inspired by a recent Medium piece I wrote about Entrepreneur, a new song by Pharell and Jay-Z. Even with all of the positive images in the video some people still managed to focus on supposed drama from years ago between Jay-Z & Nas. Drama and Trauma sells I guess. So here's the deal, some people think that Jay-Z intentionally drops music on the same day as Nas. No one can stop your shine! As a customer I'm not thinking about if I should get Nas or Jay, if their projects is are bangers I'm getting both. It's not an either or option. When we were purchasing CD's, the clerk never stopped you from purchasing a Nas Song because Jay-Z dropped an album, you weren't forced to by a Jay-Z album.

That whole line of thinking comes from a scarcity mentality. It made me reflect on a few incidents within the podcasting space, I don't owe anyone any explanation about topics I select, who show I may be guest on, who I have on my show or when I release an episode and vice versa. I want us all to win!

Radio has been around for ages and chances are it will continue to survive, however podcasts are on the rise and continue to evolve. If you have a voice, a business or something you're passionate about you should have podcast. If you're an author, entrepreneur an artist or anyone who has a message and you're trying to get that message out into the world you should reach out to a podcast host and get on their show.

Pharell and Jay-Z dropped a new song, Entrepreneur as a stand alone piece is low key, however when you sprinkle the images message on top of the beat and lyrics it immediately elevates the song.

Getting fired can be a good thing, it doesn’t have to be viewed as a failure. Yesterday I posted the question on Facebook several people commented and liked the post, Brandie Mcghee draw a comparison between being fired and getting a divorce.

I’ve been fired and laid off from a job in my past and I’ve quit. When it happened I was devastated, embarrassed, angry. I knew he was out to get me. He had tried for months, working for a homophobic racist narcissist wasn’t.

I was never one for brown nosing or ass kissing, I knew my days were numbered, but I determined not to quit. Staying was more stressful. Working in a hostile work environment is not fun, you’re constantly walking on eggshells. When your leader usurps you’re authority it cripples you, it deteriorates morale. In retrospect it was as a gift.

While walking through Walmart on Sunday evening inspiration knock me upside my head and caused me to buy some fabric. OK, maybe I’m being a bit dramatic.

I saw some purple fabric, I liked it so, I picked it up figured I’d make a mask. I had a little work to do preparing for an upcoming episode on narcissism in relationships. I figured I’d watch the Invisible Man and make a mask at the same time-I’m multitasking-sewing relaxes me. Sewing allows me to flex my creative muscles.

Melissa, a long time supporter of behind the wheel saw the mask and asked if I was selling them, I wasn’t at the time. But, because she was a supporter of the show I figured I’d make a mask for her. The last guy was making at the time we’re hands-on but I knew if I was going to be selling them for someone else probably come out better if I use the machine plus it would be faster, but I didn’t have a machine at the time.

So, I asked my sister if she had a machine, Yvonne said no. I told Yvonne I was going to go to the Goodwill and find a machine she said OK. I was sitting in Fed ex at the time not knowing whether or not goodwill even had a machine but I just felt like hey I’ll give it a shot I’ll go there I’ll get a machine and I’ll start sewing. And as fate would have it I found a machine.

Felicia Thomas told me to "Boss Up... Be Fucking Amazing," She said those words to me as we were talking about narcissism in relationships. Felicia is the founder of FSC Workshops

Ola Smallz an artist from Ikoyi, NG, we came across his music on Twitter and we were able to book him for the show.

In an unrehearsed introduction for this episode, I said: "You either love her, or hate her, or you love to hate her." In 2019 Latoya was getting dragged through these social media streets, something awful. You would think they were getting paid attack her and the compensation worked was based off likes and vile comments. I mean keyboard warriors were on standby, it was an obsession. I've never been obsessed with an entertainer or a sports figure, I was caught up in an entanglement once, but I'll save that for the book.

My mother was a fat, and my sister who introduced me to running struggled with her weight all her life, so I get it-I was empathic to her plight. I spoke out in her defense, and not as though she needed any to speak up on her behalf. Latoya has a quick wit and fast hands, I think she uses the dictation. I was attacked for voice my opinion on what black excellence was, tearing down a another black person whilst claiming to stand for black excellence is a ridiculous argument.

Ralph was born in 1956 and raised in Savannah, GA. He attended a segregated catholic school through 4th grade and was then a part of the national experiment, where he and a neighbor first integrated an elementary school when he was in the 5th grade. That first walk through the school year was my Little Rock. I ran for class president in 6th grade, but they were not ready for little Obama yet.

Ralph left public high school and entered the Ivy League for college, Harvard, in 1974, a turbulent era following the 1960s when he came of age. Then spent 4 years in Philadelphia at U. Penn for med school. Moving to Atlanta in 1982, he spent 3 years for residency at Emory/Grady system after which I spent time in the public health service for 2 years, then more medical/ specialty training before settling into private practice in Atlanta in 1989.

In college Ralph had 2 room mates on the track team, one of which convinced him to run 3 miles one day just to prove he could. He never stopped running since then but he never called himself a runner until becoming curious about the Peachtree Road Race in 1991. Next, he stumbled across the South Fulton Running Partners in 1997 which he found out quickly was the oldest African American running club in the US, founded in 1979. The camaraderie took him places I would never envision on his own- to marathons, adventure races and ultimately triathlons and that Ironman thing by age 59. I’ve watched the African American endurance community explode over the past 10 years with the advent of social media.

"My delight now as a “seasoned runner” is to help nurture this explosion through the opportunities before me such as being a founding member and active of The Race and continuing to help the Running Partners. My why? Because I’ve concluded that endurance communities are healthy social units that improve the spirit, mental health and the physical health as a byproduct."

Some of my best thoughts occur while I'm on the throne, on one such occasion, I happen to see two post with a similar pose and that was a trigger for me-Lol. I vowed in a Facebook post to trow my phone out the window and scream if I saw one more picture with a woman posing with one leg bent. It was an obvious joke. I love people, I love my people, I love women and you'll never catch me degrading women periodt!

After giving some additional thought to the matter I wrote a Medium piece about it: "Is It Time To Retire The Contrapposto?" Contrapposto (Italian pronunciation: [kontrapˈposto]) is an Italian term that means “counterpoise.”

When I woke up the next morning, I went live on Facebook and touched on everything, from Fanny Packs to why I hate Skechers for make knocks offs of Nike and even Hoka. Nia The Author happened to be on the live, when I started talking about having the courage to pursue your dreams-If you haven't got a copy of her book swing by her page.

Reviewing restrooms is part of a bigger plan, I know there might be someone out there wondering why I'm reviewing restrooms, well there's a method to my madness. Last week, when I looked at my analytics, I noticed I had more people tuning in from France than I did from CT. That bothered me, on the one hand I was excited about the reach of the podcast, but, that area of opportunity bothered me. Why didn't more people know about the podcast in the state I live in? Whelp that would be my fault, and so I'm going to change that.

Currently only 9% of our audience tunes in from Connecticut.

Growth Strategy:

  1. Conduct restroom review.
  2. Post and tag establishment on IG.
  3. Follow Up with a live call to share the news
  4. Include the call during an episode
  5. Share link to the episode with the establishment.
  6. Rinse and Repeat

This gorilla marketing tactic will allow us to create a buzz throughout the state, identify potential advertisers for the show, identify social media management/engagement opportunities for restaurants and janitorial services. Next up will be Barber Shops and Beauty Salons.

I walked into Fatty Patty late one night last week to pick up an order, from the looks of it looks like they were closing, my order wasn't ready-no biggie I'll wait. While I'm waiting, I figured I'd use the restroom, but I was denied access. When I asked if I could use it the guy behind the counter said: "No, it's not available at the moment, because I just cleaned it." I thought it was a strange response, it won't impact my future bathroom review.

Kym, is the owner of Kelly's Janitorial Services, Kelly is her daughter and a fellow podcaster from Gen Z.

We were all searching trying to find our tribe in High School, if you were fortunate enough to play sports you knew what table you were going to sit at, if you were a cheerleader, popular or a nerd there was a table for you. There were days I didn't even go into the cafeteria and when I did I'd make my rounds, I never wanted to be tied to any particular group-it seemed restrictive.

I asked this question on my FaceBook Page: "What Group Did You Eat Lunch With In High School?" The responses were revealing and entertaining. If your haven't already figured out by now what this episode is about, let me help you out-High School. In todays episode I give an update on who we're interviewing next week. The importance and benefits of supporting black podcasting outlets that cover issues and people within the running/endurance community. The bulk of the episode is centered around this idea of searching for and finding her tribe. It is chocked filled with hilarious anecdotes.

You can't box me into a corner, or try to fit me into a predetermined category. When I thought about the concept for BTW, what I wanted to do and who I would be serving, I knew I didn't just want to talk about spilts and sprockets. I have varied interest like many people, I know I'm not unique in that regard. I like sports and was athletic as a kid, but I'm not the Madden football playstation dude. I'm not the car dude, who obsesses of his vehicle, I don't see it as a chick magnet-I drive a Mini. But I do like a Bentley or a Ghost. I'm an independent opinionated man who is allergic to BS.

I love audio, podcast, books on tapes, audibles, NPR and an occasional TED Talk. I'm a huge Hip Hop fan who's addicted to sneakers. I love people, I'm not trying to out black anyone nor am I trying to make myself appealing to white folks. I don't think all white people are evil. I know systemic racism exist, I'm not naive. I ask too many questions, when things don't make sense to me I ask questions for clarity, sometimes I feel like an outsider even within my own group because I'm a little weird. I never got into the whole bar hopping scene, I tried running around worse mistake of my life. I love to learn, I get a rush being around people who are actively engaged in chasing their dreams. I'm funny, I know I'm funny, but I used to find myself downplaying my personality so others could shine. I know, anything I put my mind to, I can accomplish.

One day I decided I wanted to make a rap song about running and ended up making 104 songs-(here's a sample: Mystery To Me), which will become a book of spoken word poems and the soundtrack for a podcast about a 50 year old rapper trying to break into the music industry. I am a human potential developer. I enjoy helping people iMac their lives.

For those of you who have been following me any length time know that my sister, Yvonne, aka. the "Nubian Sudzin Queen" is the reason I started running.  I admire her drive and passion.  Even if the "Nubian Sudzin Queen"  wasn't my sister, I would still shout her out, because of the time, care and dedication she pours in producing a quality product.  I've attend shows with her, and observes how she takes care of customers, associates and the soap making community.

The Nubian Sudzin Queen is constantly fielding questions on a whole host of topics ranging from Soap Making  101 to how to launch a soap making business.  As a former Retail Manger, I enjoyed receiving customer feedback, because some customer concerns uncovered a void that needed to be filled an if we didn' t fill it, our competitor would.

In this episode Yvonne addresses her trepidation, about being on camera, creating training materials for the Soap Making community.  If you enjoyed this episode consider buying The Nubian Soap Queen a cup of  ko-fil

When I tell the story about running a marathon it starts off sounding like a joke, so there’s a White guy, a Puerto Rican, and a Black guy standing in a Home Depot. Miguel was a customer we met at the Depot when he had an issue with his Kitchen installment. When I came out to resolve the issue I called him Carlos on several occasions while insisting I understood his situation and reassuring him I was there to help him.

To whichever he replied, no you don’t, because you keep calling me Carlos. So embarrassing. I used to spend part of my day working out of my local DD in the evenings, editing episodes of the podcast. There was a evening supervisor, who conducted himself as a manager. He was always respectful to customers and his team, leading his team during the shift like a quarter-backer. Doing whatever was necessary to get the job done during the shift.

It was refreshing to see young people in leadership roles conducting themselves professionally. One day we got to talking about my running and he mentions that his father is runner and it’s revealed that his father is Miguel. Jon was the epitome of what it means to act as if. He treated the DD like he was the owner, not barking out orders, but taking care of his customer, associations and paying attention to details. Jon is now the owner of his own shop Prodigy Cutz Hair Studio congratulations wishing you all the best in your entrepreneurship journey.

A chance observation by a coach, of Sika on a Basket Ball, led to her now being on a quest to become the first African American Female Pro Triathlete. What drives a person to take the long route to finish a marathon?

Triathletes are focused driven high performing competitive individuals. I'm curious about the discipline required to train and compete, correctly how those principles transfer to real-life scenarios.

Some people are driven by internal motivation, while others require hand-holding and external motivation to get them moving. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Sika isn't externally motivated. She set some pretty audacious goals; it was en route to accomplishing her dream of obtaining her Pro Card that she suffered a horrific accident.

What do you when life punches you in the face? Do you hang up your helmet or go back to the drawing board? What sustains you during the trial? I had questions, Sika served up the answers.

Thirteen years ago, I got this crazy idea to do a podcast; I shared the idea with a random stranger Alabama Joe; he was intrigued. But I had no experience, no equipment outside of a laptop, a cheap microphone.

But, I didn’t let that deter me. I wanted to start a podcast; the idea was to use it as a training tool for the associates within my hub & spoke locations. I shared the idea with my district manager, and he kind of brushed it off, but I could see the possibilities. Our corporate offices would press up record training DVD’s and then distribute them to all of their stores-it didn’t make sense to me.

A lot of things didn’t make sense to me back then, like why didn’t we offer impulse items at the checkout counter-(e.g., gum candy, & mints). We had a BJ’s near our location in Garden City, so I purchased the items in bulk and made them available for our customers. My district mgr was a little upset because I followed that long-standing retail rule about not asking permission, you ask for forgiveness.

My life at that time was on a different trajectory. I was working lengthy retail management hrs and running a successful cleaning company with three people working with me, going through a ruff divorce because of my stubbornness, ignorance, pride, which led to my infidelity.

I make no excuses for the decisions I’ve made in this life, and as long I have a love of my children, I don’t care about what the crowd thinks or says about me.

I was brutally honest with my children and asked for their forgiveness. Running has helped to repair the damage which I inflicted.

Passion alone is not enough; it can be dangerous. You might have a desire to drive a car, but without the knowledge and proper training, you may have a fatal accident.

Meeting Alabama Joe was no accident back in 2007. I was captivated by his story and creativity; I shared it with Our Time At Home, a local newspaper In Brooklyn. Bernice Green covered a story on Joe and quoted me in the piece. The picture of Miles Davis Playing with Bird when he was from Alabama Joe. I hosted an art show at my apt invited a few friends, and Joe provided the Art, Joe, and I recently connected after 13 years. I had some big plans and dreams, but the time wasn’t right.

If you’re thinking of launching a podcast, or already have one out, you may find this episode insightful. I started noticing tons of podcasting ads within my Facebook and IG feeds, everyone was offering a masterclass on everything from how to launch, to how to monetize and grow your podcast.

I thought it would be cool to hear from different voices who weren’t trying to sell you anything, real individuals who were simply following their passion, trying to find their voice and serve their community. As you listen to the episode, you'll notice a common thread woven throughout that creates a beautiful tapestry.

The possibilities with podcasting are only limited to your creativity.

I don’t spend time looking at analytics, because I didn’t get into podcasting to make money, I got stated because I love talking to people and sharing their stories, that’s my way of making a difference in the world. I don't take The "Rununation Family" for granted

We created a coaster on it are just a few of the ordinary people who’ve been on BTW Podcast. It represents 5yrs of hard work, commitment and dedication to the running and endurance communities and beyond. This isn’t some podcasting land grab or passing fad, this is me committed to honing my craft and providing people with a platform to share their stories.

I want to be the best at what I do! But, that doesn’t mean I can’t or won’t celebrate your success, hell I’ll even offer assistance, because I’m secure in who I am. We’re quick to criticize Runner’s World for their lack representation but then don’t support our own, why is that? Does it just sound good to complain several people will be launching magazines and starting different ventures and I salute you.

I don’t spend time looking at analytics, because I didn’t get into podcasting to make money, I got stated because I love talking to people and sharing their stories, that’s my way of making a difference in the world.

When I looked at the analytics last night and I noticed I have more people tuning in on the West Coast than I do on the East Coast and more people tuning in from France than I do from New York. Now I know from my retail mgt days what gets measured gets moved.

I say all that to say stay the course, a prophet is without honor in his own land. You’ll find that those who you think will support won’t, and those who you thought had your back are the very ones talking behind your back. But, you got this!!!

Ruth Jensen and I have been following each other online since 2018, I can hear some of y'a'll saying, wait, what? Who is Ruth Jensen and what does she have to do with Dana Goldberg? And who is Dana Goldberg? Well I'm glad you asked. Ruth is the one who introduced to Dana, Dana is a comedian. I reached out to Dana on a lark, to see if she'd be guest on the show and she agreed.

When you Absofreakinglutely love your craft you spend hours honing and perfecting it, Duy, loves his work, it’s obvious from the magnificent covers he created. If you're wondering what covers I'm referring to, you must've been under a rock for the past few weeks. I first became familiar with Duy's when Pricilla Jackson posted a sample of his work. it was instantly clear and to me that he loved craft. Duy created decades worth Runner's World Magazine covers on Korea Town's Running Club Page . Why? Why would Duy create Runner's World Magazine covers for random strangers? Well, Duy understads the importance of representation.

A few years ago, Duy had an opportunity to cover Run Across Haiti and like Ben Fountain, the author of Brief Encounters with Che Guevara, he kept returning to the country-after his first trip he fell in love with running. When he returned to Korea Town he started a running club.

Is it just me, or have you also noticed an increase in the number of sponsored podcast ads your feed? It seems as though every time I open Facebook or IG, the first thing I see the Washington Post, then a couple of swipes up I hit a podcasting ad. Lately several people have reached out to me for assistance with starting a podcast, during the 5yrs of hosting BTW, I have influenced a several people to launch their own Podcast, vlog or blog.

In a previous life I served as a corporate trainer for Kinko's before transitioning to a management role. Prior to Kinko's I ran a drop out prevention program within the NYC Public School System. I felt most alive during that time period in my life, which is probably why, I don't mind sharing what I've learned with others-it gives me an opportunity to use my gift with the world.

This episode was birthed out several conversations with my sister over the years, where I'd constantly encourage her to create soap making tutorials-because I recognize she has tremendous value to offer to the world. What prompted me to press record was a phone call I received from Brenda, a fellow runner on a Saturday afternoon in June. I realized the value of the work I've been doing over the years and the relationships that have been created, it is through those relationship I was able to be of service. On the same day a fellow running shoe geek wanted to know if I'd speak to his friend Darrel, he was interested in starting a podcast. Sure, why not? I like talking about Podcasting.

While cleaning out my inbox I ran across a message from Queenie Love, in 2019 she wanted to start a Podcast, I followed up with her to see where she was in the process. This is a non scripted, impromptu conversation with Darrell and Queenie. Enjoy, the insights from this call be in a blog on my Ko-fi page.

On June 3, I received a link to a movie, "About The People", it was from Angie a friend, from a former life. In the movie were some familiar faces, I don't like to name drop, if you haven't already checked out the movie need to stop playing and go watch "About The People." While scrolling through my stories on IG Stories, I came across a post from Kovon, it was a flyer asking all crews to come out for a run and the same person who was in the movie was putting out the call-he was a runner. I couldn't make it, but I was curious to see how things turned so I stopped by his page and realized the event was a huge success.

How could someone organize a group run like this on such short notice? Was there a story here? Yeah there's definitely a story here, but could I get "That Coffey Boy" to share his story on the podcast? There's only one way to find out if he'd be willing to do the podcast and that was to invite him on the show.

"That Coffey Boy" has been a fixture in the NYC Running community for a minute. He is a Husband, Father, Filmmaker, Actor, Nike Pacer/Coach and founder of Define New York Run Club. What fascinated me was hearing Coffey's story. Hundreds of people just don't show up during the middle of a pandemic to head out for a run, unless they believe in the leader and the vision. When I reached out to Coffey, he was immediately receptive to the idea, he didn't come across aloof. When we sat down there was a sense of urgency to make a difference in the world and he's on his way to fulfilling that mission for the sake of his children. Coffey's son inspired him to write About The People. After joining a protest outside his home in Brooklyn that quickly turned, the following day he went for a run to decompress-he ran a marathon and movement was born.

Claira Janover posted a hyperbolic, satirical TikTok video about a month ago and it was immediately recognized as an analogy.  But, once it was tweeted by a self described internet troll it took on a life of its own.  Media outlets started regurgitating different versions of the same story.  Harvard, Deloitte, Fired, TikTok and Stabbing became the buzzwords that plastered the headlines.  I was curious to hear Claira's story, beyond a snippet of a TikTok video, so I invited her to be a guest on the podast.

Claira Janover, 22, tearfully claimed on Wednesday that supporters of Donald Trump 'took my job away from me' by calling for her firing, in response to the video.  It turns out she was never employed by Deloitte, she was scheduled to start an internship, but they have since rescinded their offer.  

In the video which clearly was meant to be sarcasm and hyperbole in my opinion.  Claira was making analogy, drawing a comparison between all lives matter in response to black lives matter and all wounds matter in response to paper cut and a stab wound.  It is an absurd response, which further drives the point home.  Saying All lives matter in response to Black Lives Matter is the quintessential example of being tone death, whilst attempting to silence the voices of BIPOC.  

I do not now, nor have I ever advocated for violence.  I do respect Claira for using her voice for advocating on behalf of Black Lives Matter.  I find it ironic, that the online mob who claim Claira was advocating violence, have no problem sending her actual death and rape threats.  Why is that?  Hypocrisy much?

Folks like to conduct studies, look at the raw data and then arrive at a conclusion. So, I conducted my own study from the Runner’s World Magazines I had laying around the house, which I’ve collected since I started running in 2010.

In total, I had 43 Magazine, 36 featured white people, 15 were blonde white women, 8 brunettes, 13 men. There were 7 Black people, 2 were women and 5 were men.

There’s a common theme on the covers, they were all slim supposed runners profile. Now, I don’t know about you, but when I show up to a marathon, I see all different types of hues, beautiful bodies, tall, short, fat, LGBTQ, just about every race is represented and yes slender bodies are displayed on race day. Marketing departments know this already they don’t need yet another study to tell them that representation matters.

Sprinkling in a token black every now and again isn’t progress in my opinion, I’m not striving to arrive on the cover of Runner’s World Magazine. I don’t need to be a part of Runner’s World Magazine to confirm my existence in the world as a black man or my contribution to the running community.

I stopped buying Runner’s World Magazine. I don’t look to the media to see how I should behave in the world. keeping-track.com had an interesting episode on why race matters.

Perhaps instead of waiting for the Runner's World to catch up with the world we should create our own.

I applaud the introduction of the "Police Reform Bill," but I don't get excited over performance theatrics-lets get this bill passed. When I initially saw a picture of Nancy and Chuck wearing Kente-Cloth I thought it was a joke, when I found out later in the day it was legit, I thought it was ridiculous and I said as much in a post. It is possible to find something offensive or funny, for whatever reason and not allow it to distract you from the big picture. There's a growing trend on social media to snuff out opinions that don't align with your world view.

I one point I hated macaroni & cheese, people couldn’t understand why I didn’t like it. How can you be black and not like macaroni & cheese? That argument never made since to me.

As young black man growing up adults constantly beat into my head: “if your friends all jump off a roof are you gonna do it?” We were encouraged to think critically and independently. I don’t look to social media, politicians or entertainers to formulate my opinions on current events or politics nor do I post things with the intent of pissing people off or alienating a particular demographic. 

I’ve since changed my position on Mac & Cheese-change is possible.

Back in January of 2019 I received a Happy New Year Text and a lead on a great story for 2019/2020 from Heather King, “I just put a group together called Black Ice Project. We are 40 black folks headed to Antartica to run marathon in January 2020.”

The average annual temperature in Antartica ranges from about −10°C on the Antarctic coast to −60°C at the highest parts of the interior. Near the coast the temperature can exceed +10°C at times in the summer and fall to below −40°C in the winter.

Heather and her group of adventurers choose Steve Hibb’s Marathon Adventures to help them turn their dream of running a marathon on every continent a reality. The #blackiceeproject brought 27 African-American runners to Antarctica to run a marathon. And they all finished their races making the group the largest group of African-Americans to complete marathons and Half-marathons in Antarctica in history.

On today’s episode we go behind with T Culpepper Glaze our correspondent, who was on the scene in Antartica. T interviewed several of members of the BIP for this episode, we were curious to know what would compel an individual to run a marathon under those conditions, how they prepared for the event and what lessons they learned along the way.

Then we followed up with an interview Heather King once she thawed out from the trip.

I became curious as to why we stop noticing the world around us. I came across an article, in Psychology Today written by Dr. Alan Castel, in it, he said: “We often don't notice things unless we focus and are present.”  Here are a few good demonstrations.  Count the numbers of F’s in the following passage: Finished Files Are the Result Of Years of Scientific Study Combined With the Experience Of Years. I tried this little experiment on Facebook; a few of my friends responded.  Most people counted two or three (in words Finished Files and scientiFic).  But there are 6 F’s. I counted four!  There’s a name for this phenomenon. It's called inattentional blindness, and it's what happens when you encounter something in a place you aren't at all expecting. No matter how strange, blatant, or eye-catching it is, our brains just don't want to notice things where we don't think they belong. Inattentional blindness explains why I could drive by a strip club on a primarily residential street in Bridgeport CT and not notice it.

Nian Hu and Amanda Krause wrote a fascinating article for Business Insider about Jif Peanut Butter, that sparked my recent obsession with peanut butter.  On February 19, around 12:20pm I received a message from a friend, let’s call her Kim, well because after all her name is Kim.  Kim wanted to know if I had anytime to chat about podcasting?  No preambles, no small talk, you know, "hey how you doing?"  "I hope you and yours are doing well" and then jump into the purpose of the text.  Nope! There was none of that just straight to the point.  “Hey do you have any time to chat about podcasting?” And I like that, get right to the heart of the matter. Podcasting! Podcasting? Sure I love talking about podcasting, I love listening to podcasts.   Kim will be launching her podcast later this month-(The Run Wave) and asked me to be a guest on her show.  We recorded our episode on Sunday, at some point the conversation turned toward peanut butter, specifically how to make a PBJ sandwich, and that’s when I lost it.  Hearing the news, of Kim toasting the bread came as a shock, while we were still recording, I asked myself, why would you need to toast the bread?  Was I judging Kim? No not in the least-(maybe slightly, not her existence just her peanut butter preparation choices) Shhhh!  I can hear you judging me, its okay though I get.  I was curious! In my mind there had to be a reason why she needed to toast the bread-who does that?  She probably store her peanut butter in the fridge.  Our sticky peanut butter discussion needed an impartial arbitrator, so I took the matter to Facebook for an informal survey, with a simple question: where do you store your peanut butter?  My recent obsession with peanut butter led to this episode, which covers The Mandela Effect and the longest running trademark war in history-the battle between Skippy Peanut and Percy Crosby's Comic Strip Skippy.  Enjoy.

On Friday, I spent the night at my sister's house, in the morning while trying to convince her to put a pot of coffee on, the conversion turned towards Jillian Michaels and her online spat with Al Roker and Lizzo.  When did we start obsessing over black bodies or should I say more specifically, fat female black peoples bodies?  When did fat become chic?  Was it when some magazine editor decided to place a fat person on the cover?  The recent controversy made me wonder, why does fatness on display offended so many people?  Where does the fear and hatred disguised as health concern stem from?  Should fat people be confined, to fat farms, run by Nazi type fitness instructors, like Jillian Michaels, who keeps it real with her, in your face Gestapo style and caffeine supplements?  Only after the inmates shedded their weight and came down to a size that was mutually acceptable by society would they be released from these camps. I mean who should be the judge and jury? What should there be there qualifications be to sit in judgment of the rest of us?

Behind The Wheel showcases the accomplishments of everyday marathoners triathletes and entrepreneurs, ordinary people who are doing EXTRAordinary things within their communities.

The show takes the listener on a ride behind the scenes each episode giving you a peak into the lives of ordinary people who's stories typically wouldn't be told on mainstream media outlets.

I started Behind the Wheel on a whim as a hobby, where I'd conduct video recorded conversations and simply turn those discussions into a podcast-it worked for a while but I wanted more. More of what exactly and what would more look like?Narration style podcast-I hope you enjoy each episode.

Two months ago I picked up Mark in New Haven near Yale, I hit him with my standard opening line "Looks like we're heading to New Jersey?" to which Mark said: "Huh, wait what? We're not going to Jersey".  That line is usually met with surprise, because no one likes going to Jersey.  After the shock wore off, we continued chatting and I shared my desire to travel across the country and do a mini documentary in my Mini Cooper.  That's when Mark told me about his friend Rob's "Crazy" project and I knew instantly, I wanted to have him on the Podcast, because he's my brand of "crazy"  Rob is originally from Norristown, he spent some time in Philly now he lives in Long Beach California.  Rob graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Finance and minors in Accounting & Entrepreneurship. After graduation, he began his career with Deloitte Consulting as a Business Analyst in Strategy & Operations.  He took a huge pay cut and started working at a tech start-up.  Somewhere along the he began to have a longing for genuine human connection, so he set this audacious goal of meeting 10,000 1:1 for an hour. "I started this project to see if I could meet with people to chat for an hour for absolutely no reason and held my first meeting on November 11, 2015." On Monday, June 20, 2016,  he was told he wouldn’t have a job, the tech start-up was acquired by a larger company, which didn’t require his position. "I dove in full-time on my endeavor to meet 10,000 different people for an hour each.  I love adventure and I love potential – I think this project has both so I’ve been greatly satisfied with how it’s gone so far and can’t wait to continue giving it 110% to see where it goes!" As today May 22, 2019 Rob has completed 2,620 1:1 conversations with random people, to find our more about Rob's project visit Robs10KFriends He usually hangs on IG: Robs10KFriends

This was an exploration into the evolution of Charlie Dark, the DJ, Poet, Founder of Run Dem Crew in London, Influencer, leader and yogi.  We sat down for an intimate conversation in his home surrounded by thousands of 12inch and 45 records a collection which he amassed over the decades.  When he's not rescuing dance hall records you'll probably find him running with his crew or teaching Yoga to beginners.  "Running has had a tremendous impact on my life but yoga has had a bigger impact".   I was curious to find out why, so invited him on the show to share his story.  After signed to a major record label with Sony under the moniker Attica Blues and then being dropped Charlie became disillusioned with the music industry and fell into a deep depression.  Running helped Charlie escape from that dark period in his life.   Run Dem Crew was born out a simple desire and mission to keep his friends alive.  Watching from afar over the years I realized there were many layers  to the man.  Charlie had no idea that his small selfless gesture would travel around the world.  Decades early Hip Hop had traveled to London and other parts of the world, now the idea of running crews were popping up around the world.  I grew up in an era when Hip Hop was in its infancy stages, I'm talking about when DJ's would hook up their sound systems to the light poles for power.  I was curios about the rise in popularity of running crews and Charlies is a legend in the game.  But, I was more fascinated with his ability to adapt to the change in the market.    Change is the only constant in life and we refuse to change we cease growing; "I always feel disappointment is the best thing that can happen because it jolts you back to reality".  It is this snap back to reality after being dropped that keeps him humble with a servant attitude.  Before being an influencer was even a thing Charlie was creating relationships with brands so his kids would have a safe warm place to meet.   After tuning in it would me so much to me if you'd rate and write a review on iTunes

We all have a store to tell and who better to tell your story than you. But for whatever the reason you may be hesitant to share your truth. What I have found is that once you open and share your truth it empowers others to do the same. Staying silent is what empowers abusers and shields them from having to be confronted with their tragic offenses perpetrated on innocent victims; meanwhile the victims are left broken having to deal with the stain and shame from the traumatic experience. As a kid I was abused by an adult within the NYC Public School system. I thought it was my fault, at the time I had no idea what was appropriate or inappropriate behavior. My parents didn’t talk about the birds and the bees Mets Jets or Sex-so we were left to explore on our own. When I finally did open up as an adult it was thrown back in my face. I can totally understand why Its easier to keep those feeling buried in a box. I literally felt like a knotted in a box. Which is what I called my bow tie company “Knots In A Box” because that’s exactly how I felt. Through the creative process and sharing I started to find relief. I continue to find relief through pursuing my dreams and empowering others to do the same. I never want to get to the place where I feel as though I’ve arrived so I’ll continue to strive and remain teachable. The Black Tux

The volume frequency speed of information flowing on the internet via social media, 📺 , 🚂 , ✈️ billboards and 🚕 can be overwhelming.

Seems like everyone is trying to grab our attention; it’s funny because that’s exactly what I’m trying to do-so I guess I’m just as guilty.

Even if I’m trying to drown of negative noise and pump up the volume on positivity, some might argue I’m only adding to an already saturated market.

And I’d have to disagree, I think we’ve become adept at ignoring billboard, pop banners etc. So if you’re on the fence about putting a message out in the world just do, this would be the ideal time to make it happen.

In this episode I talk about how I used to start me day with a dose of outrage and why I changed that practice. This episode is sponsored The Black Tux

We kicked off this episode on FB and IG and the response was fantastic.  We started off with a few questions: What's your morning routine?, Where are you racing this weekend? DD shoe is a yes or a no go for you? Coffee Wars DD, 5Bucks , McDonalds of BK 50cent ?  What's on your feet?  and what type of bike do you ride and have you tried that new Beyond Meat burger?  As the calls started coming in from around country is was hard for me to contain my enthusiasm.  We covered the essentials of getting fitted for a bike with Khadijah Diggs who is a the USA Triathlon Team, which answered Will's from Bklyn question about bikes.  Felicia recently started riding Peloton bikes after recovering from an injury, she has run all 50 States and will be in NYC for Peloton Home Invasion in May.  Felicia shared her weight losing tips from her friend and triathlon coach dd_fitspiration on IG.  I was so tempted to say bye Felicia when we got off the phone. We talked with out sole brothers Chip and Juan about the new DD Saucony Kinvara.  Then we rounded out the hour with ways in which you can get your "Black Card" with Angela.   Richard Fuller is our Unicorn of the Day,  I had the pleasure of meeting Richard and during our conversation it was obvious to me that he's passion about the work that he does at his Global Pollution nonprofit Pure Earth. At the start of the show I talked about a problem I was having with my glasses, I hit the company up in the DM on IG and they assured me someone from their customer service department would reach out to me a day went by and I didn't hear from them and as fate would have it as we were wrapping up the show EyebuyDirect called.  Y'all already know how I strongly I feel about service. I hope you enjoy this episode

"Haters" are they real or Imaginary?  What happens in our spaces when we interpret objective feed or criticism as "Hate".  Kim Derrell Swift from Houston, Texas said: "This is going to be valuable, you need to acknowledge threats or at least be aware of them and that's exactly what this topic is about" We're in living in a hyper sensitive era, people are walking on eggshells tip toeing around racism/sexism and others are like bulls in a china shop-they can't help themselves they're setting off all of the isms and phobias intentionally.  Then we have a segment of our society that craves attention feels entitled and can't receive objective feedback.  The moment someone voices a different point of view their tagged as a hater.  I remember sitting in meetings and if you had a POV that wasn't aligned with popular you were labels as negative.  I'd watch as people would sit in meetings nod their heads in agreement then leave and complain about how stupid they though the idea was.  I've always been of the belief that a company hired me for my IP so when I was sitting at the table I diplomatically shared my  POV.       If you're in business you've gotta learn how to navigate the landscape especially if you plan on being around for the long haul.  In this solo episode I talk about the misconceptions of "Haters".  This is definitely an important conversation for aspiring entrepreneurs, managers, leaders, volunteers anyone who is charged with the responsibility of leading a team or considering leading a team may find some in this episode. Enjoy the episode share it with your friends write review and rate us on iTunes.  I promise I won't view it as "Hate".  Feedback is the breakfast of Champions.

Robbe recently wrote a compelling piece for Runner's World Magazine about an curios observation noticed while on Strava.  The story was inspired by a book he'd just finished reading entitled "Not In My Neighborhood" written by Antero Pietila.  Pietila spent 35years with the Baltimore Sun.  "Baltimore is the setting for (and typifies) one of the most penetrating examinations of bigotry and residential segregation every published in the United States".   While viewing the city on Strava he was amazed to see the White L and Black Butterfly a phrase coined by  Morgan State Assistant Lawrence Brown.  "Baltimore's so segregated, even Strava shows it.  These runners want to change that". Robbe is part of the Faster Bastards a running crew based in Baltimore that runs along the Baltimore harbor and other parts of the city with the RIOT Squad and the Black Running Organization.

Typically not the faces that you'd see doing an IRONMAN but, then again these two are not your typical average Joe's. Swift & Miles met through their shared passion for triathlons and the power of social media specifically the Black Triathletes Association BTA.

After both going through a divorce and battling depression they needed to find something to do with their new found spare time. Traveling along two separate paths at the time, not knowing each other they decided to pour themselves into the wide world of triathlons.

Miles started his journey in the sport riding a Huffy 10speed with sneakers. now he's on a quest to complete an IRONMAN on every continent. Swift is on his way to completing 12th IRONMAN which would qualify him to race on "The Big Island", every triathletes dream-Kona.

We catch up with them in Italy a few days before the race. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did putting it together, if that's the case rate and write a review. Thank you.

Hector Picard aka “The No Hands Ironman”. I had the pleasure of hearing his incredible story in Miami last year and was blown away.

Completing an Ironman is huge accomplishment doing it 5x is just insane and finishing over 150 70.3 triathlons distances is certifiable.

Now can you imagine what it takes to accomplish such a daunting task with no arms? Hector’s story speaks to the phenomenal power of the human spirit.

Is H&M advertisement racist? Idk 😐🤷‍♂️ if they had folks sitting around a table conspiring saying: yeah let’s do this to piss off some people specially African Americans. However I have a hard time believing that no one in the room looked 👀 at this and said maybe we shouldn’t post it 🤦‍♂️. I will say they have benefited from the publicity and the fact that the Mother was okay with this ad doesn’t relieve H&M of any responsibility.
