Talk Shit With P

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.

What happens when your “great idea” is actually the wrong play? We go there. Mike tells the unfiltered story of mowPod’s first podcasting product—ambitious, clever, and a complete flop and how killing it fast unlocked mowPod Boost, a transparent, programmatic engine that drives real listeners, not vague traffic https://charts.mowpod.com/. From fireworks on a party boat to late‑night pool plots, the thread is the same: people over polish, community over posturing, and data over hype.We also zoom out. Mike’s two months alcohol‑free and living in Japan, balancing founder intensity with being a present dad, building a soundproof music room, and leaning on “blowouts” like karaoke or a hard run to reset his head. We talk about identity beyond titles, why comfort quietly kills growth, and how thinking like a chess player helps you plan moves, counters, and outcomes without losing the joy in the game. If you’ve ever considered sunsetting a project you love to make space for the next chapter, this will land.For creators and brands hungry for practical tools, we dig into self‑serve growth that respects indie budgets and why the industry needs to ditch the black box. Don’t miss the free resource drop: mowPod Charts offers historic Apple and Spotify rankings with alerts, so you can track trends without a paywall.

What if confidence isn’t about hype but about pressure you can control? I sat down with Chris Ward Jr to unpack how a four-seat, handpicked cohort transformed shaky delivery into clear, compelling talks by pairing intense practice with a radically safe room. No stadium crowds. No guru gloss. Just calibrated challenges, recorded reps, and feedback that lands because it’s rooted in your story, not someone else’s script.Chris explains why he refuses to run a massive class, how he pairs personalities for chemistry, and the simple rule that keeps speakers from spinning: one talk, one delivery style with a promise, and one framework that holds under stress. We go deep on presence—how pacing, pauses, and non-verbal choices make you feel “premium” before a single slide appears and how to build it through varied arenas: school halls, livestreams, community stages, anywhere you can get real reps and honest notes. There’s a clear system for sustaining momentum after that first breakthrough: pick a practice arena, record everything, review weekly, and share a language with peers so feedback is fast and specific.We also challenge the need for titles. Coach, trainer, keynote—those labels tend to arrive after the value shows up. Instead, speak to what truly drives decisions: status, money, time, and health. You’ll hear Chris’ boundaries for energy and integrity, why he has clients sell themselves rather than be sold, and how active listening plus positive reinforcement delivers direct, compassionate coaching without ego. If you’re ready to stop rehearsing in your head and start refining on tape, this is your roadmap.Plus, there’s a special invite: the next cohort opens in January, with early waitlist access for listeners who follow and DM @ChrisWardJr with who you are and why you want to join.If this conversation helped and you’re ready to stop chasing titles and start communicating with a voice that lands, this conversation is your blueprint.
