Brian's World"Understanding the Value of Being Understood" [E122]Coming into another year of life and I can't stop thinking about the value of being understood. I took it for granted for so long. Follow the ones who understand you or, at least the ones who try. There's joy in those moments.

Brian's World"There's a Video Game For Everybody" [E113]Eureka! I've got another theory! This time it's about video games and how I believe that gaming can improve real-life decision making. It's a new theory though.
By new I mean I don't have any research except for LeBron James' habit of gaming to learn new NBA techniques. He's no encyclopedia but he is King James. So... that's got to count for something.

Brian's World"It's Ok To IDK!" [E112]Nope, it's not a typo. It's literally "ok" to "idk". We take on so much responsibility by trying to have the answers for everyone around us. What about if we learn to say "I don't know"?

Brian's World"Put Your Mask On First" [E111]Flight attendants tell us all the time, "put your mask on before trying to help someone else." While it's a situation that most of us wish to avoid it does make you think, "how important is it for me to take care of myself before trying to help others?"
I have a bad habit of helping everyone else out and doing their tasks better than I do my own. Might be time to make a change... Both of us.

Brian's World"Ghost Town America is Healthy" [E105]The world has adapted a 'new norm' and America has become a ghost town. Stores are full but the shelves are empty. The streets that are usually packed with people are now completely barren. We've been asked not to leave the house unless it's an emergency.
But, I think that the new norm is healthy for our future. 'Ghost Town America' reminds us of what's really important in our lives. Let's talk.

Brian's World"Running From It Will Not Save You"[E104]Salutations! To whom it may concern, running from your calling will not save you from your calling. In fact, the faster we run from it, the more damage we cause to ourselves along the way. We can get more accomplished by simply embracing the calling and pledging ourselves to becoming the best versions of ourselves.
-I'm exhausted from running from my purpose. That's how this episode kind of just rolled off the tongue.

Brian's World"The Nucleus Theory" [E96]Two weeks ago I went to Dallas to visit my best friend, Fred. We had quite the time in the Lone Star state where the food is literally a gift from God. The mental food was equally filling as being in Texas taught me a valuable lesson.
We are NOT the products of our worlds around us rather we ARE the worlds around us. I found "The Nucleus Theory".

Brian's World"The Black Kid at Salisbury University" [S3E26]I enjoyed my collegiate career at Salisbury University but it does have it's fair share of diversity issues.

The message was a threat towards the African American students on campus, threatening a "Sandy Hook" type of fate.

Brian's WorldS2E16 'TROLL CULTURE SUCKS'I hate how we get trolled just to get our attention. Your attention is the most valuable thing you can offer and big companies and celebrities abuse that. Can we tackle 'troll culture'?2019-01-2123 min
Brian's WorldS2E15 "THE DIRTY JAYS THEORY"And now, 'The Dirty Jays Theory'!
This is an ideology that I adopted in Buffalo, NY after realizing that I was spending thousands of dollars on new shoes. We waste money trying to impress people who we won't even know next year. Temporary highs, man. Gives me the jitters just thinking about it.2019-01-1424 min
Brian's WorldS2E14 "SUCCESS AIN'T ONE SIZE FITS ALL"It's so taxing to think about trying to make the same mistakes that some of our role models make. I know for me, I found myself comparing my mistakes to theirs and beginning to believe that I had to make the same mistakes.
In fact, we have our own lives and stories of success.

Brian's WorldS2E11 "WE SHOULD STOP BUILDING BRANDS BECAUSE THAT'S WACK NOW"I had a double epiphany this weekend about this whole "brand building" thing. It's so irritating and has really watered life's moments down. I hate feeling like everyone is trying to sell me something. Brah, just be human.

At least from I've learned so far.2018-12-0333 min
Brian's WorldS2E6 FT. TA'RHONDA JONES "YOU GOT TO STRUGGLE FOR THE SHINE"It's Thursday and I can't stop thinking about the advice that my girl Ta'Rhonda Jones gave us about never giving up.

Pay the dues, buss them suds, work like hell and let's reach our destiny!

Brian's WorldS2E3 "BE EXPO RECAP: BLACK MENTAL HEALTH"Had a great weekend in Baltimore, MD for the BE Expo by Radio One. I was asked to moderate a panel on Black Mental Health and although I'm still blown I didn't get video, I did grab the audio. Now, it is bootleg audio so I apologize for that but you should be able to make out a good portion of the clips. If you have any comments, get into it. I'd love to hear your views on the topic for real.
