Talk Shit With P

It’s been since New Year’s Eve since I sat behind this mic. A lot has happened since then. My dad died. My world changed. And somewhere in the middle of grief, loneliness, unanswered questions, changing friendships, and trying to figure out how the hell you’re supposed to keep living when someone who was such a huge part of your life is suddenly gone… I found myself needing this space again. So, on International Podcasting Day, I’m back where it all started: talking shit, sharing my truth, and saying the things we don’t always know how to say out loud. In this episode, I’m talking about grief in all its awkward, messy, confusing glory. About missing my best friend. About feeling let down by people I thought would show up. About the pressure to “move on” when I’m still learning how to exist in a world without my dad in it. And because September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, we’re also going there. The uncomfortable conversation. The one about suicidal thoughts, loneliness, asking for help, and why sometimes “I’m here if you need anything” isn’t enough. Sometimes you have to actually be there. This episode isn't polished. It isn't tied up with a pretty little bow. And honestly? It wasn't supposed to be. It’s grief. It’s love. It’s anger. It’s loneliness. It’s dark humor. It’s Dad. It’s me trying to keep going. And maybe most importantly, it’s a reminder to call your people. Check on your people. Make time for your parents. Say the shit you think you’ll have time to say later. Because this life shit isn't guaranteed. ❤️‍🩹 Happy International Podcasting Day 💜 Episode References BetterHelp - https://www.betterhelp.com 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline - https://988lifeline.org @Kevonstage

A goodbye that feels like a sunrise. I’m closing a chapter that began as a lifeline during a storm and grew into a community, a business, and a passport to rooms I never dreamed I’d enter. Over five years and ten seasons, the show became therapy with a mic—holding space for messy truths, hard laughs, and the kind of honesty that stitches people back together. I walk through what the podcast really returned: not just downloads, but doors. Speaking gigs, creative shoots, and client work flowed because consistent, heart-forward work builds trust. Along the way I learned how to turn connection into opportunity without losing the soul of the show. Pressing pause is my way to guard that soul. I’m retiring the tongue-out persona that defined the early years and stepping into a season shaped by intention, not inertia. Expect surprise bonus drops to keep the circle warm while I focus on a growing company and two books—one on how podcasting supported my mental health, another that blends essays and journalling to help creators reflect with courage. You’ll also hear about a playful pivot: a YouTube beer quest to replace my longtime favourite with a brew worth the crown. It’s part tasting tour, part conversation series, and entirely powered by community. Friends and listeners shared first impressions that humbled me—yes, the energy is real, but so is the care—and their words track a journey from chaos to clarity. I’m carrying that forward into 2026 with better boundaries, deeper collaborations, and travel that feeds the work rather than drains it. If this show has ever made you feel seen, laughed with you on a hard day, or pushed you to take one brave step, stay close.

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. Tap play, then tell us the bold bet you’re ready to make. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs the push, and leave a review to help more builders find their village.

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? Press play, follow along with the simple practices we discuss, and see what shifts.
