This week on We Playin’ Spades, Van Lathan steps in with Nick and Courtney—and he’s coming with heat and honesty. The media powerhouse and cultural commentator gets into everything from his days at TMZ to finding his voice in the chaos, and why speaking truth—even when it’s uncomfortable—is non-negotiable. Van opens up about having more time, what slowing down has taught him, and how he's learning to move with intention instead of just momentum. He talks about winning an Oscar, what that moment meant for him personally and culturally, and how legacy is built one choice at a time. Mental health, purpose, and staying real in a world full of noise—it’s all on the table. Don’t miss this one. Tap in!
