SPACE and TIME

This episode is about first things first. Just do the thing. Plan but do something right after before fear and doubt creep in, leading to inertia. I am talking through the process from getting an idea to how that idea never sees the light of day sometimes. But most importantly, I'm doing! Go do something you love, too!

Send us a textWe are all under the same Sun. From Praia to Lagos, so much remains the same. It’s always fascinated me how much, from Nigeria to Barbados to Jamaica to Angola to Guinea to Mozambique to Haiti to Senegal to Cape Verde, felt like a simulation. All these black men with the same disposition and mannerisms and bluetooths hanging out of their ear. I can’t describe to you how funny all these cultures collectively are to me. Separated but you can’t hide the roots. But are real conversations actually happening? Are these black men saying, “I’m going through it right now, I’m really struggling with ____”? Not so much that I’ve seen. We have to give people permission to be themselves sometimes. To say, “you can say how you actually feel and still be manly.” I guess that’s one of my missions here. Anyway, Tomi & I sat down to put it on the line & air some dirty laundry. “You can’t ruin a true connection by saying how you feel.” I believe that to my core. “The Brothers” (2001) served as the inspo for this one here, hope you enjoy. -WV

Send us a textIt's been a journey, very proud of this one and to see how far I've come. I love when I get the urge to go back and listen to a random episode, it's easy to forget why I chose to do this, but on days like that, I remember. It's my therapy, it's one of my creative outlets. Never thought I would have people from different corners of the globe listening to me. Thank you to anyone who has listened or subscribed or rated the podcast, means a lot to me. Leave a message soon, tell me where you are. Thank you to Lu for DP-ing this episode, you didn't know what to make of my abstract directions but you trusted me. What you hear is pure unbridled expression bursting at the seam. I want to put things out that make me nervous a bit. Ok, to the next 50 and beyond!!–Will

Send us a textWhat’s the happiest you’ve ever been? “Are you in love with life & is life loving you back?” What does happiness look like to you? “You have to be ready to lose all illusions of yourself” “If we don’t work on ourselves, who are we going to work on?” “To have a new conversation, you have to have a new awareness of who you are.” “Stay away from people who act like a victim in a problem they created..the answer to that is, spend more time with people with whom you have a common future than a common past.”

Send us a textMan needs something to keep the hands busy & sustain the soul. I love working with numbers in insurance & real estate but I missed this. My mother further instilled the love of plants present at birth. I always wanted to have a garden à la Vito Corleone & grow plants & even something edible but it seemed daunting at times. Being here & working face to face is something I missed after the pandemic & becoming an entrepreneur. This review made me smile & remember why I wanted to be here. Stop in soon & shop local from a black owned biz. Q designed this sanctuary for everyone & it shows every day. We’re just complicated house plants.Come visit us at Emerald City Plant Shop

Send us a textThe beginning of a working career and the ending of a life. Life has its rhythm, pay attention to it. The world doesn't stop for any of us but some people will for a brief time to remember the life we lived, make sure you make it worthwhile. Live life! RIP Alejandro Hinojosa
