No empty trips. What does that mean?
Every risk, every failure, every late night—adding up to something bigger than you imagined. Nothing you do is a waste of time.

In this episode of UPBEAT, rapper and world-class radio/TV host Headkrack shares how he builds success with purpose—without wasting a single trip. We talk about his "No Empty Trips" mindset, why failing fast matters, balancing passions (radio, rap, TV, comedy, fatherhood), and how to stay grounded in faith, purpose, and calling.

This one's full of real stories and advice for creators, dreamers, and hustlers who want to build without burning out.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
