She recently became a full time actress and she shared the story of quitting her call center job. She also shared that she got scammed initially from "agents" who tried to charge her for information she could have gotten on YouTube. ...

I respect Billionaire because he's all about serving others. We're on the same frequency. When he speaks, it can seem like he's being very critical of others. However, his sharpest criticism is actually directed at himself because HE was the one that needed to hear the harsh truth. He isn't here to make you feel good, he's here to help you reach your fullest potential. This podcast was a treat, he dropped so many gems that covered so many different aspects of life that it was hard to really br...

She had the idea to interview me and she asked me what I hope to accomplish and the legacy I want to leave behind, an...

In 2018-2019 I was a 7th grade math teacher. I love all my former students and on this episode of the podcast I brought two of them on the podcast to catch up since. They said they weren't speaking at the time so I we started the episode trying to get to the bottom of the disagreement. It turns out Tiesha was just jealous about Tikeria having other friends. Then we talk about what they think school should teach and why it's so boring and what they would want to learn. I have a lot of critiques...

My mom connected me with Lamell and he's been a great mentor for me. We've gotten even closer since I've moved to Miami.
