Grumpy Wizdom
In a world eager to define you, Grumpy Wizdom is a call to reclaim your narrative. Hosted by Talib Jasir—founder of the Afros & Audio Podcast Festival, four-time author, and mindset coach for creatives and entrepreneurs—this show is a mixtape of lived experience, cultural insight, and storytelling that hits different. Each episode is “On” something—on becoming, on risks, on survival, on belonging, on words—because life is always on. Through poetic narration, cautionary tales, and unflinching reflections, Talib speaks through life, not around it. This isn’t self-help. It’s self-remembering. Pull up and take what’s yours.
