In this episode, I open up about my first year in the Marine Corps, and the challenges I faced as a young black officer. I share details about my performance, living and working in what felt like an all-white world, and the humiliation I felt.

This was the hardest episode I've recorded yet. Sharing this aspect of my life brought back a lot of negative memories and feelings that I've tried to push past. My hope is that by opening and sharing my experience, I'm able to foster an open dialogue about race and culture in the military.

In this episode, I discuss Author Gay Hendrick's book, "The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level." I came across the book last year, thanks to my business Coach Bill Watkins, from the Lion's Pride, and it's has been instrumental in my personal & professional growth. I'm currently going through the book for the fourth time, as I continue to take my own Big Leaps with IRONBOUND Boxing and Dope Coffee. The book made me self-aware of my upper-limit problem, the self-doubt, self-sabotage, and insecurity that emerges every time I dare to step into my greatness. I open up about my personal limiting beliefs, the Stories I tell myself, and the other mental demons I battle on a daily basis. My hope is that opening up about my struggles, you're able to find some self-awareness in your own life. As always, thanks again for sharing your time with me and I hope you enjoy the show.

We are back from a short Break with the doing the most podcast. After weeks of reflection, I’ve come to one key realization which is that WE ARE NOT OKAY. Now that we have acknowledged here’s what we will do next.

In various spaces, although I was welcomed and embraced there was always a looming sense of “I am an outsider, I don't belong here”. This feeling brought on a huge sense of loneliness in my life. I was surrounded by people externally but internally I felt alone.

I have been stuck in my head for almost the past 2 years. Social media will do that to you, grief will do that to you, depression and anxiety will do that to you. Lack of Belonging and community will do that to you.
