This week I chop it up with my younger brother, Michael. We talk about what it was like for him to be the 2nd born and the pressure he felt being a younger brother and an older brother. Off top, Michael shares how he felt like the black sheep of the family and how that impacted his outlook on life. We explore that trauma together and I apologize for my role in the pain that I caused him. This conversation is one long therapy session for Michael and I. We laugh a lot, cry a bit, and share a whole lot of love. Alright yall, here's, Mike.

About this Episode: This week’s guest is my mom, Stacia. Now, my mom used to say that we grew up together and I didn’t know what she was talking about until I realized that she had me when she was 15. So, yeah we definitely grew up together. My mother is one of the kindest people I have ever met. So kind, in fact, she made friends with a stranger that accidentally called her phone. This is a legit story, she literally became friends with a random person that called the wrong number. My mom is the type of person that can make your day with her smile and warm presence. At the same time, she’ll give you the honest truth that will set you straight. Her determination is unwavering and we talk about what it was like raising three black sons, the current state of America, and where we find hope moving forward.

In this episode, I sit down with my wife Lindsay. We grieve the loss of George Floyd and so many others at the hands of the police, and we spend some time discussing the role race plays in our own relationship. I ask her about her commitment to fighting injustice, what it means to be an ally, and we react to the increased awareness of racism by white evangelicals.

In this episode, I sit down with my youngest brother, Reggie. We chop it up about what it was like for him growing up as the youngest of 3, navigating poverty, and what friendships mean to him.
Reggie shares some wise takeaways from growing up that I believe will resonate with ya'll and will have a lasting impact on why it's important to always be happy with the person you see in the mirror.
Nine years separate Reggie and me, and I couldn't be more proud of the person he has grown to be. Check out this conversation to hear from this wise young brotha.
