On this week's episode, we sit down with King Randall. The 23 year old trailblazer decided at 19 that he wanted to start a program (The X For Boys), and eventually open a school, for young at risk boys in Albany, Georgia. King's school, Life Preparatory School For Boys, just finished it first full school year so this episode was the perfect time for him to reflect on the journey thus far. Trav also used to manage King so their unique relationship, matched with Caleb's unwavering ability to connect the audience with the story, lends for a great interview about perseverance, success and the aftermath of it, and trying to be the change you want to see even as people push back with all their strength.

When your hard drive fails and you have classic conversations on it, you pay and wait as long as needed to get it back. This was one of those conversations. If you're a basketball junkie like me, or just want to be where the stars are in during Atlanta Summers, then you're all too familiar with AEBL games where the NBA players come to put on a show. Jah The CEO brought us this greatness along with many other of the best events you've attended or wanted to attend in Atlanta. Hailing from New York, a direct descendant of basketball league greatness, Jah moved to Atlanta for college and immediately made his mark and he hasn't stopped doing so since! Some of the best stories of triumph and hoops are packed in this episode. Enjoy!

If you've grown up black in America, unfortunately, drug addiction has probably plagued you or someone in your family. If you've managed to be successful, it's because you overcome such odds... Judge Terrinee Gundy is a prime example of that. Raised in Jacksonville, Florida, with an amazing but also drug addicted father, shaped her worldview while pushing her simultaneously to extraordinary heights. On this episode, Caleb and Trav sit down with Judge Gundy and one of her closest friends, Iman Ramadan, to talk about Judge Gundy's autobiography, "The Daughter Of A Junkie". They also talk about the process of convincing Iman to record an album to promote the book, their very vibrant friendship, and what it's taken for them to both become success stories despite the challenges of where they came from.
