Elevate & Meditate"Validation"-Joe Mason III Ft. Josh Strong & James Sobboh Pt.2Following the extensive discussion of addiction, and completing the two part episode with guests Josh Strong & James Sobboh. We dive into another intricate topic of "Validation"; the need to gain "recognition or affirmation that a person or their feeling, opinions, and image are valid or worthwhile". This topic of validation has never been more relevant than now in today's society. With numerous social media outlets, and so many unspoken rule/standards, so many of us struggle with self-doubt , and countless insecurities. In this episode we share our stories, and dive deeper into this subject matter.

Elevate & Meditate"Addiction"- Joe Mason III Ft. Josh Strong & James Sobboh Pt.1In the very first episode on the "Elevate & Meditate" Podcast what was meant to just be merely another high school project, becomes a very deep intellectual conversation between three African American young men, addressing a deep rooted "trend" in today's society which is drug addiction. We ask and answer many questions surrounding the topic. The ultimate objective is to inspire & uplift everyone listening to this podcast, and hope just to give everyone a couple new lenses and perspectives to view these various topics from.
LOVE & GRATITUDE!
