In this powerful episode of Leave the Pile Higher, Grow Your Legacy, Bryan takes listeners from kindergarten memories to hard reflections on America’s promises and failures, exploring the complex legacy that shapes our lives today. With a deep focus on the resilience of Black Americans—especially Black women—he examines what “liberty and justice for all” should truly mean in a nation still grappling with the wounds of its past. Bryan honors the unwavering contributions of Black women who have carried communities and stood at the forefront of progress, even as they continue to face systemic injustices and double standards.

This episode calls listeners to reflect on what it means to protect, uplift, and honor those who paved the way and challenges us to teach our children their true worth, grounded in faith, strength, and community. With a clear-eyed look at the ideals behind the Pledge of Allegiance versus the lived reality for Black Americans, Bryan’s message resonates with a profound commitment to legacy-building. Anchored by faith, he urges each of us to stand firm, create change, and “leave the pile higher” for those to come. This episode is more than a reflection—it’s a call to action for unity, purpose, and resilience.
