I'll be the first to admit that I did not have much of a laid-out plan as far as this interview was concerned. But in no way did this affect the genuine...

Ep. 041 - Two Black Guys (& a Gal) with Good Credit (w. Shaun Lynda, Dionne Nicholls, Arlington Forbes)

I must say that this episode should definitely be filed under the category. About two years ago, I had the opportunity to meet Ms Dionne Nicholls. From our conversation and my genuine respect for her warm personality and infectious motivation, I realized there was something special going on there. Indeed, the more we talked and eventually connected, I ended up writing a blog post/review of her podcast " Two Black Guys With Good Credit " which she co-hosts with the dynamic duo that are Shaun Lynd...

Following what was a real adventure that eventually led to the incredible stage that is the Arnold Classic Brazil, recently held this past April held in ...

A truly heartwarming and powerful endeavour aimed at the empowerment of women on their individual journey towards self-confidence and self-love. I had to have her on the program. If only to thank her f...

Ep. 034 - Rigorous Truths (w. Emma Elie) *Explicit*

This is going to be interesting. It's one thing to have lifelong friends on the podcast.

I keep a close-knit group of people in my circle and Emma has had a prominent place among these singular souls whose friendship, insight and honesty have been a true gift. Mother, Woman, Entrepreneur... Emma has certainly seen her fair ...

Ep. 029 - Me, Myself & IG

Following some kind encouragement from a few friends, I recorded an Instagram LIVE Story a few days ago. Obviously, with the fairly little warning I'd given, a couple of people got back to me asking if the broadcast session would be available for later viewing. The concern did not fall onto deaf ears. This is the result. I have to admit it's a rather revealing experience when you listen to yourself from the audience's perspective. I touched on some personal stories I had all but forgotten. After...
