My blurred opinion

Uncle Gregory returns to the plantation

When I first connected with Gregory, Newson, I loved his energy, he reminded me of somebody in my life, and I loved this passion. He's a great storyteller, with a great story to tell. He was born and raised in Harlem, NY, and was sifted through the Elijah Muhammad movement and then through the Black Panther Party, drug addiction, and prison to walk away from God’s gift as an artist and painter to wander the desert for 40 years. And then he migrated back to the plantation that his ancestors owned, and that is when he started developing a positive character that would continue to lead him to participate in Civil War reenactments and historical events in the Southland of America.

UNDENIABLE MINDSET

When I first met Hunter Potter , I knew he was going to be a fun guest, right off the bat. He is very highly energetic, honest, honest, and he doesn't beat around the bush. He was a Boy who was raised by a single mother who, in desperate times, turned to selling drugs and gambling to provide for his lifestyle. Despite the odds stacked against him, he harbored a burning ambition for a brighter future. He chose the path of discipline and honor by enlisting in the Marine Corps, where he learned the values of integrity, perseverance, and hard work. Other topics that we discuss is him meeting his biological father, and what role that played in his journey him getting into real estate, addiction, heartbreak, and more.

Tick for tat

Kristof Morrow was somebody I felt like I connected with right away, before even knowing a story, I could tell that he had been through something and not just something, but most likely a good amount of something. He's a veteran, he's an author and an award-winning journalist. Kristof has had to endure abuse by both of his parents, who were deep into addiction, which, unfortunately, so did Kristof. He also has Tourette's, some of his ticks, make him turn, violent towards himself, where he will punch, and slap his own face, and he also punches hard services to the point where he does damage to his body. He has now gotten back on the path so much so that he actually has finished his first book, I myself, I'm very proud of him, because it's really hard to imagine what he has to endure every day, but he still finds some fight left in him to do some good.

Breast Mancer

When Ron Rappaport first reached out to me, I was super curious about this subject matter, because I don't know any men with first reached out to me, I was super curious about this subject matter because I don't know any men with male breast cancer, but I do know it is a problem. It is something that's kind of taboo to talk about. Ron is a perfect representative to talk about this subject matter because I don't like how he goes through it, he also is a very eloquent speaker on the subject matter. Ron Rapaport is a two-time Male Breast Cancer survivor, current Lymphedema thriver andLead Advocate for malebreastcancerhappens.org. He also has his own podcast called A WRAP WITH RAP.

Life changer

I think one of the sweetest things, and most powerful things is a mother's relentless nature to do anything for her child Jaelin  and to always protect, and to nurture. Deana Gaccione embodies that sentiment to the fullest. Her 16 year old daughter was born with a rare genetic disorder causing significant delevelopmental delay, severe ADHD, behavior issues, learning disabilities and seizures. Her mission is to reach as many special needs families as she can to share information about an affordable, wearable technology that brought her daughter from testing at a kindergarten level in January to lower 4th grade level in March.

Conquering the fear of change

I instantly connected with Laura, and without knowing her entire story, I knew she would be a good guest and an even better friend. She is a person who has lost a lot but has gained even more.Her journey, marked by breast cancer, the loss of her adoptive son to suicide, her life-saving heart transplant, and a sudden divorce after 27 years of marriage, showcases the human ability to triumph over adversity. These adversities occurred in five years.  These days she's all about her iCope2Hope three-step framework, which helps people deal with anxiety when referring to change, find new purpose, and recover their joy.

Onto the next chapter

In this episode, I'm riding solo, I had a few things to get off my chest, and this is what came to be. I talked about the last few months of 2023, losing my job, and finding a new one. I talk about being lost, and finding myself again. I talk about hurt and then I talk about triumph. 

A soldier against all odds

Our next guest's name is LT. Col. Jason Pike, a decorated combat veteran with multiple deployments, speaker, and author of an inspiring memoir: A Soldier Against All Odds - A brutally honest tale of a soldier's unorthodox life, a rogue career, and an often-maverick character not easily aligned with the military credo. My story is one of survival, perseverance, and a refusal to quit, no matter what, a characteristic gifted to me by my father. I real enjoyed our chat, and I really appreciate his honest, and openness, to share such personal details.

The blind deaf Potter

When I first seen Kelvin Crosby, it was on TikTok, and it was an ad for his light up, cane, and him telling his story about being hit by cars, multiple times, and that this came changed his life. Since he was born, a genetic condition called Usher syndrome type II has affected Crosby’s hearing and vision. Crosby was born hard of hearing and became legally blind by the time he turned 19. He tried to take his own life 12 times as he searched for meaning in his difficult life.Then, he heard a voice.Crosby, now 36, remembers hearing God’s voice say, “I have a plan for you,” when Crosby felt like he couldn’t live with his condition anymore.Known for his viral social media presence on TikTok as the “DeafBlind Potter,” Crosby hopes to change thousands of lives with a high-visibility cane he invented called the See Me Cane. The cane lights up to make visually impaired people more visible when traveling in low-light conditions.
