  • S7 Ep4: Omar Bolden on Life After the NFL, Holistic Wellness, Finding Peace and Building a Legacy

    S7 Ep4: Omar Bolden on Life After the NFL, Holistic Wellness, Finding Peace and Building a Legacy
    Oct 21 2026
    What happens when the career that defined you comes to an end? And how do you learn to slow down when you've spent years being conditioned to move fast, compete, and stay aggressive? In this episode, host NeAndre Broussard sits down with former NFL player and Super Bowl champion Omar Bolden for a candid conversation about navigating life after football, prioritizing physical and mental wellbeing, embracing holistic wellness, and redefining what it means to live a successful and fulfilling life. Omar shares why transitioning out of the NFL required more than finding a new career. It meant learning how to respond instead of react, becoming more intentional as a husband and father, and discovering the value of peace, curiosity, and personal growth. He also offers his perspective on NIL opportunities for college athletes, financial responsibility, and the importance of building character through adversity. Together they dive into: Why Omar struggled to find his identity and direction after retiring from the NFL How his wife's reminder that things in motion stay in motion helped him navigate uncertainty The impact of football injuries and personal loss on his approach to health and wellness Why he believes Black men must prioritize their physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing How studying traditional Chinese medicine has challenged and expanded his perspective on health His thoughts on NIL deals, financial literacy, and the importance of competition among college athletes What he had to unlearn after years of playing an aggressive, physical sport How marriage and fatherhood taught him to become less reactive and more intentional Why slowing down, embracing stillness, and creating daily rituals have become important to him The meaning behind investing in loss and learning to let go of unnecessary things How curiosity and applying knowledge can create meaningful personal transformation The inspiration behind The Culture's Herb and his commitment to educating his community Why building a legacy means leaving future generations better than you found them From the football field to family life, entrepreneurship, and wellness, this conversation challenges the idea that success is always about doing more. Sometimes growth requires slowing down, letting go, and becoming more intentional about who you're becoming. 📌 Share this episode with someone navigating a new chapter or looking for inspiration to prioritize their health and purpose. 👍🏾 Like, ✍🏾 comment, and 🔔 subscribe for more conversations that pour back into our people.

    Oct 7 2026
    In this episode, host NeAndre Broussard sits down with HBCU Buzz founder, entrepreneur, author, and community builder Luke Lawal for an honest conversation about HBCU culture, Black excellence, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and building a legacy that reaches beyond yourself. Growing up in Prince George’s County with parents who attended HBCUs, Luke was surrounded by examples of Black excellence long before he fully understood how unique that experience was. After attending Bowie State University and seeing the excellence happening across HBCU campuses nationwide, he recognized a gap in how those institutions were represented and created HBCU Buzz to help change the narrative. Together they dive into: • How growing up in Prince George’s County shaped Luke’s understanding of Black excellence• Why his experience at Bowie State University changed the trajectory of his life• The inspiration behind creating HBCU Buzz and changing the narrative around HBCUs• Why representation and seeing people who look like you succeed matters• How HBCU Buzz grew from campus coverage into a national platform and community• Why Luke believes HBCUs remain essential to Black culture, leadership, and legacy• Balancing profitability with serving and pouring back into your community• The financial lessons behind his book Rich Black, Poor Black• Why discipline is the foundation of financial literacy and wealth building• His vision for HBCU House and creating spaces for connection, collaboration, and opportunity• Why entrepreneurs need hunger, discernment, and the willingness to fight for what they’re building• How faith continues to guide Luke’s purpose, business decisions, and definition of legacy If you’ve ever wondered how one idea can grow into something that impacts an entire community, Luke’s story is a reminder that legacy is bigger than recognition. It’s about creating opportunities, opening doors, and building something that continues inspiring people long after you’re gone. 📌 Share this episode with an HBCU student, graduate, entrepreneur, or community builder who believes in creating something bigger than themselves. 👍🏾 Like, ✍🏾 comment, and 🔔 subscribe for more conversations that pour back into our people.

  • S7 Ep2: Kenyon Dixon on Preserving R&B, Honoring the Greats and Creating His Own Legacy

    S7 Ep2: Kenyon Dixon on Preserving R&B, Honoring the Greats and Creating His Own Legacy
    Sep 23 2026
    In this episode, host NeAndre Broussard sits down with five-time Grammy-nominated R&B artist Kenyon Dixon for a conversation about preserving the soul of R&B while creating music that can move the genre forward. As a self-described student of the R&B game, Kenyon shares why progress doesn’t require abandoning the foundation. From Anita Baker and Marvin Gaye to D’Angelo, Tyrese, and the artists who shaped his sound, he reflects on the importance of knowing the history behind the music and making sure the names and contributions of previous generations aren’t lost as R&B continues to evolve. Together they dive into: Why preserving the foundation of R&B matters as the genre evolves The influence of Anita Baker, Marvin Gaye, D’Angelo, Tyrese, and other R&B greats How the Black church shaped Kenyon’s vocals and ability to connect with an audience Why being different eventually became one of his greatest strengths as a vocalist How his new album Ego Rules Everything was built around a specific feeling and story Why knowing music history matters in an era filled with remakes and samples How years as a background singer, dancer, and songwriter prepared him for his own career What Kenyon hopes listeners will feel when discovering his catalog decades from now Why legacy is the impression your life and actions leave behind If you love R&B and care about where the genre has been just as much as where it’s going, this conversation is a reminder that honoring the foundation and pushing the art forward can exist at the same time. 📌 Share this with an R&B lover who believes the history of the genre deserves to be remembered. 👍🏾 Like, ✍🏾 comment, and 🔔 subscribe for more conversations that pour back into our people.
