How do we move past political rhetoric and start creating real, equitable change in our communities?

In this episode of the Prime Global Group Podcast, Charles Mabry sits down with Shamaal Carter, a dedicated community advocate running for Arkansas State Representative for District 36. Shamaal opens up about his journey from growing up in the foster care system to dedicating his life to service—working in mental health, substance abuse recovery, and serving as the Craighead County NAACP President.

This conversation is rooted in actionable solutions and holding local government accountable. Shamaal breaks down the realities of current education funding, the severe infrastructure needs of rural communities like Truman and Poinsett County, and why true leadership means putting people over politics. He also drops incredible, little-known knowledge about federal housing programs and his vision for empowering the next generation through trade skills.

Key Takeaways You’ll Hear:

• The Reality of Education Funding: A breakdown of how current legislation and funding allocations are heavily impacting rural public schools, and why Shamaal is advocating for equitable infrastructure.
• Actionable Community Resources: Shamaal explains the HUD escrow program—a massive, underutilized resource that matches rent to help individuals save tax-free money to buy a home.
• Teaching the Youth to Fish: The plan to establish after-school programs that teach kids hands-on trades like framing, flooring, and painting to build a self-sustaining workforce.
• Civic Accountability: Why voting is only the first step. Learn how to get involved, sit in on city council meetings, and hold elected officials' feet to the fire, regardless of party affiliation.

• The "Married Up" Motivation: Buckner credits his recent marriage as his "first election win." His family and his "six sets of eyes" (his children) are the fuel that keeps him pushing through the exhaustion of a 12-round campaign fight. 💍👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
• Chick-fil-A Principles: Buckner views law enforcement as customer service. Whether it’s a late-night phone call or a roadside interaction, he believes every citizen deserves accessibility, responsiveness, and respect. 📲✅
• The "Jonathan" Lesson: A powerful story about a student who acted out just to be noticed. Buckner argues that many youths turn to gangs simply for interaction and structure because they lack it at home. 🏫🎒

• Fountains vs. Drains: A challenge to the community—are you pouring into Memphis or drawing from it? Buckner emphasizes that one man cannot fix a city; it requires a mental shift in the entire infrastructure of the community. ⛲🚰

this episode of the Prime Global Group Podcast is a deeply personal one. Host Charles Mabry welcomes his own son, ItzZay Mabry, for a raw conversation about the "second half" of the game. From the struggles of the music industry to the transformative power of fatherhood and faith, this father-son duo leaves it all on the table. 🎙️💎

Key Takeaways

• The Consistency Rule: Success in music isn't a gift; it's a grind. ItzZay discusses the need to "get on people's nerves" with constant promotion—if they respect the craft, they’ll eventually respect the man. 📲🔄
• "Fly the Plane" (Fatherhood Edition): Becoming a dad changed the game. ItzZay admits it’s hard to balance being a provider with wanting to be present for every 15-minute appointment, but his daughter is the "cherry on top" that keeps him going. 🍒👶🏾
• The Power of an Apology: Charles and Zay open up about their past friction. They prove that men can disagree and feel wronged, but a sincere apology and open communication can bridge any gap. 🤝❤️

Host Charles Mabry sits down with Captain Steve and Captain Kevin, two elite minority pilots in the private jet sector. This episode isn't just about flying—it's about breaking barriers, surviving high-altitude emergencies, and the power of representation. From the intensity of a blacked-out cockpit in Denver to the serene views of St. Lucia, this conversation explores what it truly means to be a "Captain" in every sense of the word. ✈️🌍

🔑 Key Takeaways

• Representation Matters: Seeing minority pilots in the cockpit of a private jet isn't just a rarity; it's a "morale boost" and a powerful example for the next generation. 👦🏾✨
• "Fly the Plane" First: In a crisis—like losing an altimeter or experiencing severe turbulence—the golden rule is simple: ignore the panic, follow the checklist, and fly the plane. 📖✈️
• The Power of the Internship: Success isn't always about a paycheck on day one. Both captains emphasized the value of "interning" by sitting in the open right seats of jets for free just to gain experience. 🕒💎
• Zero Failure Mindset: Aviation training (like Flight Safety) creates an "unshakable" demeanor. Pilots are trained to remain calm so that the passengers in the back never even know there’s a problem. 🤫🧘‍♂️
• Networking is Fuel: The relationship between Charles and the pilots started with a professional flight and turned into a friendship and a potential investment partnership. Always be a "people person!" 🗣️📈
