On this episode of NYC Experience LIVE, hosts Sifu Rafael, Lancelot Theobald Jr., and Jose Escobar welcome Timothy "T.O." Clay for an inspiring conversation on the art of showing up.

Together, they’ll explore how presence shapes every connection and why consistency is the foundation of growth and impact.
