Talk Shit With P

What if “word is bond” was the operating system for your love life, leadership and legacy? We dive into a raw, funny and deeply honest conversation about building families with intention, founding companies without shortcuts, and protecting your peace while you do both. From the South Bronx to boardrooms, our guest unpacks why he won’t have another child before marriage, how age gaps shape values, and why he refuses to force relationships with a partner’s kids—yet still shows up as a long‑term “bonus” dad when the bond is real.We pull back the curtain on the CEO myth. There’s a world of difference between a hired executive inheriting systems and a founder who starts with none and wears every hat. Expect real talk about quitting high six‑figure roles, investing life savings into a mission, and drawing hard lines around contracts, releases and NDAs to protect intellectual property and sanity. Integrity isn’t a slogan here; it’s pricing you honour, scope you deliver and deals you walk away from when terms shift. That’s how you build a brand people trust.We also get personal about pressure and mental health. Burnout never disappears; it moves. The gym becomes medicine, therapy becomes a goal, and self‑knowledge turns into better matches in life and work. Success gets redefined as time‑rich and health‑first: consolidating five ventures into one, prioritising community, and carving out space to fish, laugh and live. Along the way we celebrate the quiet power of consistency—how showing up, even when no one comments, sets standards others adopt in their homes and companies.If you’re navigating love in your 30s and 40s, leading as a founder, or debating a risky leap that looks reckless to everyone else, this conversation will give you clarity, courage and a compass.

A joke about silk sheets turns into a sharp, unfiltered dive into how we built a podcast into a real business and why titles don’t tell the whole story. We start with the lesson that still echoes: Dr Matthew Knowles’ mindset of backing your kids at the highest level and resourcing ambition like it’s oxygen. From there, we unpack our own journey—why we treat the show like a company, why clean contracts matter, and how a tough co-host decision protected the brand they’ve been building brick by brick.We get real about risk. Walking away from high six-figure roles to bet on themselves, not because it was easy, but because staying felt like a slow leak of purpose. If you’ve ever wondered whether to leave comfort for ownership, you’ll hear exactly what shifts when you swap titles for responsibility. We break down the difference between founder-CEOs who wear every hat and hired-CEOs who inherit systems, and why integrity—saying no to a misaligned deal even when the money is good—keeps your reputation compounding. "Word is bond isn’t nostalgia; it’s our operating system".Pressure never disappears, it just moves lanes. We talk burnout and the gym as therapy, the value of real therapy, and the South Bronx code that shaped his approach to deals and community. We also talk legacy. Fatherhood sits at the center of everything—showing up for sons and for daughters from past relationships—and redefining success as the freedom to choose peace. Five years out, the goal is simple: live well enough to pause, fish, and be present.If you’re building a show, a brand, or a business, this conversation gives you a blueprint: focus beats frenzy, contracts protect IP, and integrity scales better than hype.

Ever wonder how a single breath can change the story you tell yourself about loss, identity, and what you can handle? That’s the heartbeat of this conversation with Amanda, the Breathing Goddess, a facilitator who pairs grounded care with unapologetic honesty. We get candid about the name, the work it represents, and the very real emotions that surface when you let your body lead the way.Amanda shares the moment breathwork stopped being a buzzword and became a lifeline: a pay-what-you-can session on the anniversary of her grandmother’s passing that shifted raw grief into unexpected gratitude. We unpack how nervous system regulation can reframe memory, why some sessions feel like years of therapy without speaking, and when to bring in licensed support so breakthroughs become lasting change. If you’ve tried meditating and felt like your brain ran laps, you’ll appreciate simple, practical tools like the sigh and twenty minutes of quiet that create space without perfection.We also explore the strategy behind running two shows… Manda’s Mindset and Breathwork Magic; so listeners know exactly what they’re getting. Think clarity, boundaries, and a schedule that respects energy. From entrepreneurs to artists, shared themes emerge: doing the uncommon, handling doubt, and iterating when the first plan doesn’t fit. The throughline is courage you can practice, not a personality you’re born with.Ready to experiment with your own reset?

What if your most sustainable edge isn’t more effort, but better choices? We sit down with filmmaker, photographer, and community-builder Angela Hollowell to unpack how Honey And Hustle became more than a great name and turned into an ethos: Please Hustle Responsibly. Angela shares how her newsletter grew into an editorial home for long-form ideas, audio editions for busy commutes, and a genuine network that connects listeners to resources and to each other.We dig into the creative decision tree she uses to choose the right medium. If an idea needs other voices, it’s a podcast. If it needs to show, not tell, it’s a film. If the script is too dense to memorise, it’s a written piece. That clarity shapes everything from her audio setup to her standout conference pamphlet—a hand-folded, beautifully designed guide packed with quotes and QR codes that turned a noisy venue into a lasting touchpoint. Along the way, she explains why Rootful Media’s rebrand worked, how to avoid confusing pivots that overpromise, and the power of naming to align what you do with what you want to do next.Angela pulls back the curtain on skill-building as a creator: getting “good enough” at audio to deliver a clean experience, knowing when to hire for design or colour, and treating microphones like camera lenses with different jobs. Then we go deeper on story. “AI can’t fix a vibe story,” she says, because the missing piece is rarely a tool; it’s the human edit—beats, transitions, and a point that earns the reveal. From Trail Therapy to Durham’s influence on her craft, she shows how focus, rest, and boundaries produce work with a coherent soul.If you’re a podcaster, filmmaker, or writer feeling the friction of endless hustle, this conversation offers a practical path: choose your medium with intention, protect your time, and share enough to be true without losing your privacy.
