Let Dwayne Haskins’ current status as an unemployed pro football player serve as a lesson to all those who aspire for greatness: be disciplined at all times, and never take an opportunity for granted.

After sustained poor performance, followed by being exposed for having a night out with strippers at an unmasked party, the Washington Football team said enough is enough and released 2019’s number-15-overall draft pick Dwayne Haskins. We discuss the societal implications of his release, whether there are any implications for black quarterbacks at-large, and how this teaches those looking to build something for themselves the importance of maintaining discipline and not squandering opportunity.

Dave Chappelle is another cautionary tale on the importance of knowing your worth and having an ownership mentality.

During a recent stand-up set, comedian Dave Chappelle took some time to plead with his fans to not watch reruns of his early-2000s sketch-comedy show “Chappelle’s Show” because he does not own a piece of it, and thus is not paid royalties for the work that he created. This prompted us to continue our ongoing conversation about the importance of ownership, and how it is the key to freedom in life. This is also the first episode in which we have a guest contributor to the platform – local artist and friend of the channel Titaness Writes! Follow “Tite” on the channels below for everything she has going on musically and otherwise!

Why can’t we be mindful of one’s body of work and use mistakes as a teachable moment, rather than resorting to ‘Cancel Culture’?

We discuss the fallout from Nick Cannon’s antisemitic remarks during his podcast and his subsequent firing by CBS/Viacom. We also get into the value of teachable moments, why “cancel culture” is a problem that needs to go away, and why we should be reasonable enough to consider a person’s body of work before becoming cyber bullies who want to cancel someone who has done positive things throughout their career.

Three petitions and 1 million signatures later, public outcry against Michael Vick as an honorary captain at the 2020 Pro Bowl shows that in the world of pro sports, second chances are hard to come by.

The news that the NFL has invited former quarterback Michael Vick to be an honorary captain at the 2020 Pro Bowl has sparked outrage. Many people don’t believe he deserves the honor after being convicted of dogfighting in 2007.
