I think the first time I heard about assets was from Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad. It was mind-blowing and it changed my life. Like you, most of us were just taught to work hard, and that’s it. But I knew there had to be more to it. Nobody around me was talking about […]

As I sit on the couch this morning tying my shoes, I realize I’ve been wearing the same pair of Jordan 1s for the last eight months. Maybe I switched them once for my blue Vans, but even then, I’m usually mismatched. I’ve learned something while building businesses, I’m not overly concerned with how I […]

I’m feeling a little vulnerable as I write today. Sometimes you find yourself in a moment where it feels like everything is falling apart. It was about 9  p.m., and I had just gotten off the train inside Atlanta’s airport , coming up the escalator, feeling the crowd press around me more than usual. You’d […]

In 2021, I was declared legally blind. In 2022, God told me to walk away from Unapologetic Urban Gear , a profitable business. Then God said, “Move to Los Angeles, California.” I didn’t understand it all, but I moved anyway. Truth is, I really didn’t care how it looked to people. I’d rather obey God […]

Some days I like to throw on some music, and one of my go-to artists is Aha Gazelle. The first song that came up on shuffle today was 24, and I couldn’t help but pause when I heard it: “Thank you Lord for that new 24.” Man, it hit me different today. Now, I try […]

I just made a post on Facebook, Threads, X, and LinkedIn that said: “I just clocked out, and it was the most productive day I’ve ever had as an entrepreneur.” It’s about 9:35 PM on the East Coast, and I’m blown away by how much I got done today. But let me keep it a […]

I remember the first time I got on a roller coaster at Busch Gardens, I think it was in Orlando. Well… maybe Tampa. Close enough. I was young ,don’t hold that against me. My stomach flipped, I felt a little nauseous, and the whole thing was wild, but it was also exhilarating. Full of ups, […]

It’s about 74° in Los Angeles and I’m sitting on a bench, trying to get my life together. I just left Starbucks with some coffee in hand. Man, I love this city. You can’t beat a one-minute walk with a breeze like this. But I’m foggy today. Like,  heavy. I had all these great ideas […]

I saw something the other day that impacted me deeply. I was over at a friend’s house in LA when his son called. I couldn’t hear the whole conversation, but I caught something that moved me: his son asked him to pray for him. I knew this because I heard my friend say “Right now?” […]

There was a time at Unapologetic Urban Gear® when I was scheduling photoshoots almost twice a week. We had our own in-house photography studio in downtown Atlanta, and we stayed booked. We were locked in, pushing content like clockwork,  getting sharper and more consistent with every shoot. On the cinematography side, we were regulars at […]
