Celebrating You with Divine Culture

This is the official start of the new season! I started by going the farthest back in my interview stash this year. My brother Divine Culture is a dedicated educator, father, partner and his gear is as sharp as his wit. We recorded this episode while traveling together earlier this year in Chicago. We came together to forge the foundation of what we intend to make a tradition of unity, accountability and motivation as brothers. More on that later. For the record, I am behind on my commitment. If you listen to the show you will understand. Please listen, rate, subscribe and share.

Show Notes: Brotherhood

Brotherhood is an important topic for me. This is an opening foray into this topic. It will return in many forms in the future. This meditation is about brotherhood and its importance in what standards we set for ourselves. In my experience me will rise or fall to the collective standard of the men they spend the most time with. They will calibrate their behavior to fit the norms of that group. Due to this it is very important to develop a great cohort of men especially as you move from adolescent to young adult. The value does not end there, but it is the time frame I had in mind when I was crafting this piece. Enjoy.

Show Notes: My Brother Majestic

This is the first time I sat down with my brother I Majestic about a year ago during our travel to Venice Beach. Majestic has been my ace since day one and he will be back around for future discussions on a wide range of topics. I love him dearly and would not be who I am with out him. Some things to think about from our conversation (listen first then read the rest):

• Shared Expectations - before you get all up in your feelings about outcomes in your life and relationships ask yourself, were we on the same page? Did we ever talk about what we want and who we are?

• Travel - Get out of your space and see some other shores. We used to travel five deep in a rental on twenty-four to forty-eight hour power trips and see it all. We travel together and we travel alone, but you got to get on the move. Love where your from, but don't act like the rest of the world is not happening out there.

• Family - understanding family and what it means, who is apart of it, and how to actually be family is not to be taken for granted. 

• Ethics - Do you operate in a way that anyone can be proud of you? Can we reestablish a culture that praises the ethical person? What are you ethics? Do you adhere to them and why? All things for you to explore.

• Nothing to sale on the exit for this one, but keep your eyes peeled for future opportunities to support.
