What Do I Do Now?

This isn"t just a podcast, it"s an honest & open discussion centered around a single question, "What Do I Do Now?" From life changes in our personal lives to our career paths, we are going to be met with adversity, but how do we navigate through it? Through the various guests, I hope to bring more clarity on how we all can manage, maintain, even grow through difficult times.

PREMIERE ft. Nick Cannon

What Do I Do Now? ·

2021/09/20

This is a special episode because it will be 1 day shy of the first year of me starting this journey. September 21st, 2020 was my introduction with this platform. I didn't imagine it turning into what it has, in it's second season that has global appeal. And as I turn the page into the next year of this passion project entitled "What Do I Do Now?," I had the privilege of getting to interview a giant in the media industry about to start on his latest TV project, Nick Cannon. The new daytime TV show

2021/08/31

After the HIATUS episode, getting ready to approach the midway mark of the season, & personal revelation of my personal journey with seeking professional help, I went "back to the well" to continue a talk about mental health. It's clear that Ball State University made and gave me so many talented and remarkable friends, associates, and peers; this episode is not an exception to that rule. So, I reached back to talk with a black woman that will be entering the mental health atmosphere, soon to be

HIATUS ft. Sam Sirmons

2021/08/23

Another unscheduled break deserves to be explained, right? I want to first apologize for my delay in episodes, but in this episode, I don't need to ask questions. I'm going to answer them. What happened this month in particular? I genuinely hope I'm understood. And if I'm not, that's ok. But, I hope to get at least one person to listen to this episode in particular and find the nudge you need to make a change in your routine. I'm going to do my absolute best to bring you a great rest of this season

PARENTHOOD ft. Zeb Bartolome

What Do I Do Now? ·

2021/07/19

Before recording this episode, I had not realized that my guest hadn't talked to any media outlet for any interview regarding the subject matter. This will be the first time publicly that it’s being discussed and I let my guest share their story as they feel comfortable. Zeb Bartolome is the proud father to his son, Zayn. Back in April 2020, both of their worlds changed. In this episode, I discuss what happened to IMPD Officer Breann Leath, how Zeb is coping with the life change, what questions Zayn

PREGNANCY ft. Morgan Brown

What Do I Do Now? ·

2021/07/12

This podcast was conceived during the pandemic, but what about actually conceiving during the pandemic? What would that look like? I have the honor and privilege to speak with a new mom in Morgan Brown. In this episode, she details how she found out she was expecting, what the process was like for her as an expectant mother, what changes were in store for her career in engineering looked like, and what all of this meant to her every step of the way.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP ft. Ty Gray

What Do I Do Now? ·

2021/07/05

Starting a new month on the podcast & this episode is one that will leave you possibly reaching out to the guest for a job. Literally. I know the way the world changed put a lot of people into a self-employed status, but there were plenty of people that were in business for themselves, this guest being one of them. One that I knew growing up in Kokomo, Indiana was Ty Gray. From a printing business as a teenager to 2 successful brands built from the ground up with a very humble beginning, he's got a

The series of black woman for this month continues with a phenomenal television anchor by way of Indianapolis, IN. She's a proud wife, aunt, & woman of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. and she is Alia Blackburn. But wait, she's actually Alia Edwards now because she married the love of her life, Aaron Edwards.

SKILLED ft. Nelia Span

What Do I Do Now? ·

2021/06/15

For this episode, I had reached out to one of, if not the most talented hair stylists that I knew. Beyond grateful when she accepted the invitation to talk about her journey. Nelia Span is someone I met during undergrad at Ball State and when we both left from Muncie, we began forging our own respective lanes. But, a lot of people may not know is that she was physically present when I decided to take radio serious with the assistance from DJ B-Rad (Bradley Bardwell).

Welcome to Season 2 of the "What Do I Do Now?" podcast. I took plenty of time to regroup, schedule guests to bring you more amazing content, and most importantly, more dialogue to spark a better understanding of who we are or will become. This episode was recorded as I celebrated my 32nd birthday with my nephew, Davion, & my mother, Barbie Sirmons.

OWNERSHIP ft. Sam Sirmons

What Do I Do Now? ·

2021/03/05

The first season couldn't end after ACCOUNTABILITY. Its only through OWNERSHIP can you fully close prior chapters and move forward. This episode gave me all types of feelings, but I'm proud of the product. To have culminate the end of the first season with my own story is something I didn't originally envision, but it's preparing me for the next chapters of my life. And, I'm being public with this part of my personal life. My ups and downs. My wins and my biggest losses. I hope you take something

ACCOUNTABILITY ft. Sam Sirmons

2021/03/02

It's the end of a season.......or is it? This project has taken me many places personally and I've been able to have conversations with my peers as well as icons in my field. But, with all the streams, feedback, and 10 years of professionally working in radio, I wasn't ready for the places the season finale was going to take me. After taking the nod from Ryan Cameron, I decided to interview myself at the mid-season break top of the year, entitled HALFTIME. And, I knew I would need to pick up where

2021/02/23

This is the episode before the season finale. I can't believe I made 24 episodes for the world. And, in the journey, I was able to talk to amazing people from all walks of life that gave insight on their lives, careers, and so much more.

HOPE ft. Vincent Quarles

What Do I Do Now? ·

2021/02/09

This episode is one that required more time than usual because I hadn't spoken to this person in well over 10 years. But, this person shaped me from a distance throughout time and I am grateful to be able to talk with him about basketball, life, and the journey he has been on since 2012. The beauty in this is that it's still a story being written every day. Please enjoy hearing, understanding, & ultimately learning from Vincent "Scooter" Quarles. --- Send in a voice message:

In this episode, I get to talk humble beginnings with a former opponent turned teammate on the hardwood into a lifelong brother in Brandon Wood. From AAU tournaments to the NCAA tournament, Wood has always put on a show. But, it's his giveback, especially in Kokomo, Indiana that has left the impact that many will feel from years to come. We dive into a lot of great memories from our younger years into Brandon's current path that has him playing professionally abroad. To reach Brandon on social

On January 3rd, Shaheed Dent was just trying to show a co-worker the city of Atlanta, his home all his life. Little did he know he wouldn't have an ordinary Sunday to start off the year.
