August 20, 2016. A national holiday to many. “He made an album better than ‘Channel Orange’” — when I first heard this, it seemed unfathomable, but I sit here 10 years later knowing every word was true. As much as I love the initial offering, the second is just in another stratosphere. We watched a livestream for 30 days of silence and occasiona...

When we lose a loved one, how do we shift from mourning a death to celebrating a life if we've never been shown? I wrote a piece called "49 Candles" on July 31, 2026 that is on my website to honor my uncle, Unildo Mendes, who would have turned 49 that day and I wanted to record a podcast to commemorate the moment. In this episode I share my favorite memories of him and what ...

From New York and back — this episode almost didn't happen. I went searching for something to say and came home with everything I needed. What started as a failed recording attempt in the city became one of the most clarifying experiences I've had with this podcast. New York has a way of doing that — showing you everything at once and making you sort through it a...

This episode is about first things first. Just do the thing. Plan but do something right after before fear and doubt creep in, leading to inertia. I am talking through the process from getting an idea to how that idea never sees the light of day sometimes. But most importantly, I'm doing! Go do something you love, too!

I took a long and winding journey up the Northeast roads on October 26, 2025, stopping at cafes, driving through small Americana towns, and for a small hike. We had a great chat with 74 year-old Paul and his dog about the trail, marriage, regrets, and how he would do life differently if possible. We greeted several others in this vast wooded area—walking ...

We are all under the same Sun. From Praia to Lagos, so much remains the same. It’s always fascinated me how much, from Nigeria to Barbados to Jamaica to Angola to Guinea to Mozambique to Haiti to Senegal to Cape Verde, felt like a simulation. All these black men with the same disposition and mannerisms and bluetooths hanging out of their ear. I can’...

It's been a journey, very proud of this one and to see how far I've come. I love when I get the urge to go back and listen to a random episode, it's easy to forget why I chose to do this, but on days like that, I remember. It's my therapy, it's one of my creative outlets. Never thought I would have people from different corners of the globe listening to me. Tha...
