Black Wolf UntitledWill Black on the Holiday Liftoff[This is the first time I have sat down to record anything since returning from the COVID shutdown in 2020 so bear with me as I sort out the details of audio engineering (at a very amateur level).

2020-07-0612 minBlack Wolf UntitledHomer Britton on Being Black in AmericaHomer was kind enough to sit down with me and to share his perspective on the current social uprisings, the desired changes, and on living every day as a black man.
As mentioned in the beginning, the purpose is to allow me (and the listener) an ever so brief glimpse into the life of someone who faces obstacles and expectations that are not naturally occurring in my own life due to the color of my skin.
The Bloom Academy is the amazing charter school where Homer will be serving of chairman of the board this ye...

After competing at Hammer & Chisel this past weekend, the question has come up, how do you pick whether you should Rx or should Scale. And who is responsible for keeping the integrity in those divisions? Things are not how they once were.
Let me know your thoughts.

I also wanted to encourage y'all to come out to Hammer & Chisel at Atomic CrossFit to cheer on Summer & Steph, Angie & Morgan, Manny & Adrian, and Hunter & myself. The comp starts around 9:30am and will be done or at least have the "final WOD" (only one division) by 2pm. Short and sweet. You know we appreciate that (Keep it simple stupid).
Finally, I...
