Episode 24: "Wordly things"
Loddie, 29
Atlanta, Ga
In this conversation with Loddie, we explore the winding path that led him from aspiring photographer to Atlanta's up-and-coming custom grill maker.
He takes us through the pivotal moments that shaped his journey – from spending his last $400 on a Canon camera, which he used during his filming with Lil Baby.
The conversation dives deep into the cultural contrasts Loddie experienced growing up between Atlanta's predominantly Black communities and being "the only two Black kids in school" in Frisco, Texas. These experiences didn't just shape his worldview; they equipped him with the versatility to connect with people from all backgrounds – a skill that's proven invaluable throughout his entrepreneurial journey.
What stands out most is Loddie's powerful perspective on personal growth. From learning critical lessons through his brothers' life choices to embracing spiritual practices that transformed his approach to business and relationships, his evolution represents the beautiful intersection of craft, mindfulness, and authenticity. When he shares, "If you let yourself get caught up in worldly things, you won't escape the Matrix," you can feel the wisdom earned through genuine experience.
(Words that I will truly never forget, and will come back to)
This episode is about recognizing opportunity in everyday encounters, finding purpose through craft, and the remarkable growth that happens when you remain open to life's unexpected paths.
Whether you're an aspiring creative, entrepreneur, or simply someone navigating your own path, Loddie's journey offers valuable insights on adaptability, authenticity, and the courage to follow your unique vision.

In honor of those who served our country. During times of peace and war. Those who gave the supreme sacrifice, Those still missing and those who came home both whole and broken.
In honor of those still fighting everyday to keep their head above water.
