Ep. 043 - It'll be OK

Image
On this solo episode, I take a second and take a breather. A brief moment of vulnerability, really. Sometimes, you have to admit to yourself that you can't do it all. Thankfully, the people that matter have their own way of showing you they're not holding it against you. Enjoy.

Ep. 042 - Success as the Standard (w. Richard Lecoin)

© Zavier De'Angelo (https://www.zavierdeangelo.com/) - All Rights Reserved On this episode, I welcome Richard Lecoin - photographer, model, entrepreneur, husband, father...and many other hats that I myself got to discover from this very impactful conversation. It's one of those truly humbling circumstances where you come out the other end of a great exchange and the only word that can even closely describe it is "Wow". I'll be the first to admit that I did not have much of a laid-out plan as far as this interview was concerned. But in no way did this affect the genuinely inspiring message that Richard had to share. With grace and vulnerability, Richard shares his story of resilience, audacity, patience, loss, self affirmation and humility. I had to sit back and reflect on this one even after the mic was cut off. Grab a seat and open your hearts 'cause this one is an amazing ride. A man of character and a truly outstanding individual, my thanks

Ep. 041 - Two Black Guys (& a Gal) with Good Credit (w. Shaun Lynda, Dionne Nicholls, Arlington Forbes)

I must say that this episode should definitely be filed under the <Long Overdue> category. About two years ago, I had the opportunity to meet Ms Dionne Nicholls. From our conversation and my genuine respect for her warm personality and infectious motivation, I realized there was something special going on there. Indeed, the more we talked and eventually connected, I ended up writing a blog post/review  of her podcast " Two Black Guys With Good Credit " which she co-hosts  with the dynamic duo that are Shaun Lynda  & Arlington Forbes . Having been on the lesser end of financial freedom myself and slowly but surely building my way back up the hill, I can't tell what a imperative asset it is to sharpen your mind, habits and mindset towards a goal-oriented, practical and strategic financial journey. This is a special group of people who, through their podcast and Financially CLEAN! (a non-profit youth mentoring program), have made it their mission to reach

Ep. 040 - Be right Back

On this short solo episode, you never quite know what impact a simple selfless gesture can have. Pay it forward. As often as you can. Enjoy.

Ep. 039 - Less Noise. More Dedication. (w. Lemar Martin)

Thrilled that the Universe allowed our mutual schedules to realign and for the opportunity to have Lemar Martin on the podcast once more. As a Natural Bodybuilder, trainer, and all around awesome individual, this conversation was another gem, if only to tap into Lemar's singular sense of purpose, truth, and relentless dedication. Following what was a real adventure that eventually led to the incredible stage that is the Arnold Classic Brazil, recently held this past April held in São Paulo, Brazil, Lemar certainly has wild story to tell. And one I certainly hoped he'd be willing to share. I do hope you enjoy this exchange as we certainly enjoyed bringing it to you.
