Episode 110 comes with one of my most anticipated guests, Kevin Lynum Sr. I've heard his name mentioned in many conversations throughout the years, so I decided to go to the man himself and hear his story from his viewpoint. First question I had to get the big one out of the way and clear up the confusion: how many kids does he have?👀 I was blown away by his answer😬😆 Then even more blown away when he told me how many his dad had!!! One thing I will say, this man was genuine and kept it real. ...

I pulled up to Jacksonville, Florida for yet another episode. I haven't saw my boy since high school days so when he called me a few weeks back I knew I had to pull up on him. I respect his story because he was real about his fatherhood journey. He explained how for years he wasn't the best dad and wasn't there for his daughter, but he now has realized that he has some time to make up for. Through all of his struggles he is continuing to make the effort to be better daily. He is currently a quad...

My first 2-time guest had to come back and update us on his past 3yrs! It's been exactly 100 episodes since he was last on the podcast. He didn't disappoint. I was inspired as always by his perseverance to push through the rough patches of life. We spoke about private school vs public school, social media influence on kids, him gaining majority time sharing of his children, and many other things. Due to camera issues, the video was cut at the end. But we got the bulk of our conversation done bef...
If I had to choose a favorite episode, this one might have to be at the top. I say that because I know bruh isn't one to talk as much, but in this interview he really opened up about his life. I learned a lot about who he really is and where he comes from. You never truly know someone until you have the opportunity to sit down and talk with them. This is the reason I created this platform, so that men would have a safe place to decompress and share their stories. This is what it's about! Appreci...
First episode of 2023 is in the books! I've been wanting to sit with my homie for a minute now, so it was only right that we linked up. I must say, this was one of my favorite guests, he was real and open. I almost came to tears a few times. This was a great way to start off the year. Find all the episodes including this one at www.dadcanwetalk.com. You can also find the podcast merch there. Appreciate the continued support of DCWT! #changingthenarrative #dadcanwetalk #dadpodcast #fatherhood #po...
This episode is a huge milestone for DCWT! 100 stories have been told, and we are continuing to change the narrative. I appreciate all of the men that carved out time in their schedule to sit with me and chop it up about fatherhood and family. Every story has been important and unique in its own way. I've learned so much in the past 3yrs doing this podcast and I'm grateful for this opportunity. In this particular episode I sat down with my boy Dolph and had the chance to share many of the challe...
Finally knocked out episode 99! I posted up at my man's studio for this one. This was probably one of the realest episodes I've ever done. The Pimp shared his heart in this one! He talked about the death of his child's mother, fighting with DCF, messages the Most High has spoken to him, forgiving his dad, celibacy, and visions for the future. At the end he brought the harmonica out and played a piece. This podcast was created for dads like this that need to get things off their chest, and that's...
Let me say this, I know I just received father of the year for the region, but my vote might go to this guy! As I sat and listened to this man's story, I couldn't help but be motivated to do better. He has four children, has custody of 3 of them, has 4 degrees, had 4 kids before he was 21, owns multiple homes, and is truly living life. I'm sure many people wrote him off in his early fatherhood days, but to see where he is today is truly remarkable. He has changed the narrative for real! Find thi...
I finally made some time to sit with my man Coach Ken. He is a coach at the Rock School and was a teacher to my children for 2yrs. I've always seen him being a standup man and dad so it was only right to sit with him and hear his story. We spoke about his upbringing, the effects of fatherlessness, opening his home up to others, and the importance of downtime.

I've waited on this one for a minute! If you know me, you know Fiyaman Jaronimo was one of my favorite rappers, period. I had him up there with the big dawgs.

I've been needing to have this sit-down with my kids for a while. It's always a good thing to sit down and get an understanding with your children. You'll find out many things about them and yourself. Plus, your kids will feel more comfortable talking with you and knowing that their voices are heard. It's not about being right or wrong, it's about getting an understanding. So that's what we did. Of course, Nana dropped out the convo early😂 Listen to other episodes at www.dadcanwetalk.com #dadca...
I recorded this episode last summer with my man Cody Hall. After recording, I could not find out what happened to the audio, so I put it to the side for some months. I messed around with it a few weeks ago again and finally resolved the issue. So this will be known as the "lost file" episode. Cody dropped some jewels in this episode about time management and money management. We talked about many other things concerning fatherhood that I believe will be beneficial to fathers everywhere. Apprecia...
I sat down with my Israelite brothers once again to discuss what we are seeing in our community, as far as the scriptures are concerned. We discussed our thoughts on Covid 19, the state of the church, the state of the black family, the state of our youth, and many other things. This was a great dialogue and as always I came out enlightened. If you have any questions about anything discussed in this podcast, feel free to reach out to me, I'm always open to have discussions about whatever. You can...
I get many questions about the Hebrew Israelite community, so I decided to sit down with some of my brothers and ask them some of the questions that I usually get. These brothers broke it down, piece by piece, and laid out their beliefs. They don’t speak for the entire Hebrew community, they spoke for themselves. If you have any questions that they didn’t address here, find them at Berean Council on Facebook and Instagram. Remember to subscribe to the podcast on whatever platform you listen to D...
This is a bonus episode that features my wife interviewing me. We dug deep into a few topics and I must say it got a bit emotional near the end. Hear the hearts of a true mother and father.
Today I sat down with starting QB Chaz Mackey and head coach Cornelius Ingram of Hawthorne High School to discuss their berth in the Florida 1A State Football Championship. Chaz talked about his motivation to succeed after losing his father earlier this year and being the leader of his team. Coach Ingram discussed his plans for the upcoming game and how proud he was of his team's success. The championship game will be on Dec 17th in Tallahassee, FL.
This bonus episode features my 1st woman guest (excluding my wife) to the podcast. She reached out to me about a content/experience platform she founded called "Alley Oop", that exclusively focuses on dads and daughters. They believe that dads play a critical role in the development of their daughters. So of course, with me having two daughters, I wanted to know more. We talked about how dads fuel their daughter's confidence, how to combat the pressure of perfection, girls and social media, beau...
The last time I did an episode that was focused on me was in April 2020. I wanted to give my listeners and supporters the opportunity to know more about me and where I am at this current juncture of my life. Fresh off my bachelor degree graduation, I sat down with my homie Yaakov Melech Bey aka J King and we got it in for a quick second. Hopefully after listening, my supporters will understand more about who I am and things that I go through. I am by no means a perfect father, husband, or man bu...
Continuing to change the narrative on black fatherhood on episode 84 with my boy Greg Lowery. We discussed all things fatherhood including growing up without a father, a dad's influence, coping with the passing of his mother, leaving a legacy for your children, being a stepdad, and having a will in place. Bruh definitely put me up on game to a few things in this one. Y'all go follow my boy @OG Greg Productions. Support local producers. And he's raw with it! Find this episode on Spotify, Apple, G...
The founder of We Black Fathers Podcast chopped it up with me virtually on episode 83. Anthony is the father of two daughters and has been married for 30yrs. So it was only right for me to soak up some of that good wisdom and knowledge. He is also a retired police officer and he gave many different stories on his encounters with the public and gave some good tips.

I received an email a few weeks back from Jake's assistant saying that he had been following the podcast and would love to be a guest on the show. Being that he is way out in Utah, we set it up to meet virtually. As always, we got pretty deep about this thing called fatherhood. We discussed topics such as work/life balance, postpartum depression with dads, marriage, and living life without compromise. Jake also is the host of Tenaciously Human Podcast. You can follow him at www.tenaciouslyhuman....
Episode 81 had me talking fatherhood with a dad hailing all the way from England, UK. It's crazy because even though he is way over in the eastern hemisphere, we still deal with some of the same challenges as dads. He kept it real concerning not having a relationship with his dad, his struggle to balance life and work, and many other things. This was one of those convos that could have easily continued for many hours (y'all know I like to talk)😂. We had so many things in common. You can follow ...
