    The Resiliency of MEXODUS
    Oct 14 2026
    Two people. An orchestra’s worth of sound. A story of freedom that reminds us what we can build together.Nygel D. Robinson, co-writer and co-star of the award-winning musical MEXODUS, joins Jenn Quader and Dr. Kelly Culver for a conversation about creativity, ancestral resilience, and the power of solidarity.Through hip-hop and live looping, Robinson and collaborator Brian Quijada bring to life a story inspired by the Underground Railroad that led south into Mexico. Their onstage partnership becomes its own metaphor: small acts of support can build something far greater than any one person could create alone.Nygel shares his journey from church music and high school theater in La Grange, North Carolina, to professional stages. He also challenges the idea that resilience means pushing through at any cost, exploring how discipline, rest, joy, and reinvention sustain a creative life.His honors include an Outer Critics Circle Award for lead performance and shared awards for MEXODUS’s score, book, and music. The musical has earned 15 awards, including the Drama League Award for Outstanding Production of a Musical.IN THIS EPISODE • The family, teachers, and mentors who helped Nygel find his voice • Balancing artistic rigor with rest and self-respect • Creating MEXODUS during the pandemic • Honoring ancestors through music and storytelling • How two performers create an orchestra’s worth of sound • Why small acts of solidarity can become a movement • Finding the “why” behind your resilienceCHAPTERS 00:00 Meet Nygel Robinson and MEXODUS 02:27 Ancestral resilience and family roots 04:36 Growing up in La Grange, North Carolina 06:07 Church music, hip-hop, and discovering theater 16:12 Tough love, mentorship, and discipline 18:37 The eight-show week: resilience and sustainability 25:00 Rest, ancestry, and the right to recharge 29:54 The Underground Railroad that led south 30:20 Creating MEXODUS and finding purpose during the pandemic 35:19 Joy, solidarity, and an orchestra of sound 38:10 Small moments that create a movement 40:04 Passing the story to new performers 42:43 Rapid-fire resilience questions 46:01 What is the “why” behind your resilience? 47:05 Navigating criticism from family 49:26 Connect with NygelLearn more about Nygel D.

He went on to build multiple companies in the Nashville entertainment industry, win a Country Music Award for live show production, release music, and out touring now.

    With his new book, Tenacious: The Art of Relentlessly Pursuing Your Wildest Dreams, Scott shares his story is not just about success, but how to overcome.

    It is about the mindset behind continuing when fear, failure, grief, trauma, and uncertainty threaten to stop you. Scott discusses how he moved from being paralyzed by fear of failure to building a life defined by courage, creativity, joy, and persistence.

    03:44 — Tenacity vs. resilience
    07:35 — Moving from fear of failure into tenacity
    12:38 — Why not giving up matters more than talent
    15:28 — How to get comfortable with failure
    22:14 — Looking in the mirror and practicing self-honesty
    23:04 — EMDR, PTSD, and survivor’s guilt

    39:36 — Choosing what you pursue
    43:04 — Rapid fire questions
    47:40 — Where to find Scott and his book

Through his Couples by Intention framework, he helps individuals and couples move from reactive patterns into conscious choice, curiosity, and deeper connection.We discuss what happens when relationships face rupture—through infidelity, infertility, identity shifts, grief, and unspoken pain—and how resilience can become a practice of intentionality, listening, and repair.Dr. Kronenfeld also shares insights from his book Unspoken Loss: Men, Infidelity, and Disenfranchised Grief, helping us understand the grief that often goes unnamed, unsupported, or misunderstood.In this episode, we discuss:Why resilience begins with remembering we have a choice How curiosity can interrupt assumptions and emotional reactivity Why listening is one of the most important relationship skills What it means to rebuild trust after rupture The difference between forgiveness, trust, and security Disenfranchised grief and “shadow losses” Infidelity, infertility, shame, and unspoken grief How breath, yoga, and nervous system regulation support resilience Dr. Kronenfeld reminds us that resilience is not only personal, it can also be relational.
