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.

Women's basketball has been leading sports headlines & shows across all brands ALL YEAR LONG. No doubt about it, the ladies are running things this year. We know all the names & on April 1st at 7 PM, we get the rematch that everyone has been waiting for. The #1 seed Iowa Hawkeyes meet the defending NCAA Women's Basketball Champions, LSU Tigers.

2024/03/01

It's been a LONG time coming back to the passion project, but I made sure that I came back with a great guest. I was able to talk with actress/recording artist/host LeToya Luckett on TWO separate occasions. First, we were both in New Orleans for the 2023 Essence Music Festival & Culture, a place she calls a second home. And more recently, she was a guest of the nationally syndicated radio show, Ryan Cameron Uncensored, before she hosted this year's Urban One Honors red carpet. She's

In 2023, we are seeing that there is an incredible backlog of passport applications from the United States. Between people’s passport expiring or applying for their first one, the wait time is between 10-13 weeks. Even if you want that passport expedited for an extra $60, the wait time still stands at 7-9 weeks. So, if you are looking for summer travel, you might be traveling domestically. But, for those that are ready to add stamps to an active passport, we have someone that is interested in

MEMORIES ft. Ambassador Andrew Young

2023/04/11

The ability to speak with icons has been a privilege. And in this bonus episode, I had the distinct privilege to speak with civil rights icon & former Mayor of Atlanta, Ambassador Andrew Young. One area I've made intentional strides is to find an area of questioning that hasn't been asked. And I know the stories and the depictions in movies that his life has been shown all around the world. But, my question came from a place of where one building in Atlanta has both his and his

If you didn't hear the UNDERSTANDING episode, you won't get the full scope of what FAVOR comes from. So, I suggest you listen to last week's episode first. But, for those that have, I continue the conversation with my father that is centered around the life we have shared together. In the episode, we touch on:How his siblings shaped his parents opinions How he felt regarding early exposure to therapy for my brother & I Family love Raising your kids vs. raising your

UNDERSTANDING ft. Jeffery Sirmons

2023/03/27

There's been a conversation that I've personally wanted to have since last season, but time isn't always on my side. But, I have become very intentional about the guests I have on the platform as well as the topics that are discussed. In this episode, I spend the afternoon with my father, Jeffery Sirmons, in his birth home in South Georgia. And to be honest, I didn't think the episode was going to take me through so many ranges of emotions as not just an interviewer, but as a son

CULTIVATE ft. Jordan Bundy

2023/03/20

This episode is one that was unplanned, but truthfully speaking, that's when my best episodes happen. I saw a tweet from someone incredibly dope and knew that it was an in for a conversation that needs a platform. Jordan Bundy is a black woman that cultivates from her farm in the countryside of Oklahoma. She's a maverick in this field for various reasons, but she has no problem addressing and finding solutions to making sure she isn't the only one in that space much longer. In this

LEGACY ft. Wanda Cooper-Jones

2023/03/13

In the midst of everything that is going on, you need to find something to uplift and better ourselves as people. And this podcast has been that for myself & the listening audience all over the world. And in the middle of another black life that has been lost due to racism, a mother has carried her son's legacy and memory into a foundation that will be fundraising for an incredible cause. On February 23, 2020, Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old black man, was murdered during a racially motivated hate

ORIGIN ft. Sam Sirmons

2023/03/07

It's nearly been 2 months since the last episode, the long breaks usually come with a life change or a lack of motivation. I am very proud to say that it was not the latter. January & February were one of the most busy I've ever been professionally. Being able to speak at my alma mater was truly a pleasure, continuing to executive produce the #1 rated PM drive show, and fly my mom into the city was just the beginning of all the things I've been working towards. On February 25th of this year, I

RECAP ft. Sam Sirmons

2023/01/16

This episode is LONG overdue. The year that was 2022 was a whirlwind of events and career moments. And I know people have asked me about so many different events, I tried to put them all into one big episode to share the experiences with you. And of course, I've left room to follow up in specific detail at a later date. But this episode in particular I discuss the previous 12 months including several visits to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, visits to Indiana, & career achievements. It was incredible to

With the new year finally here, I couldn't miss the opportunity to FINALLY release this episode! I enjoyed some time off, but rest assure that 2023 is bringing BIGGER and BETTER from the "What Do I Do Now?" brand. This episode reaches into my early memories in Atlanta with one of the most dynamic black woman I have had the pleasure of working with. And for the record, this is a family conversation so we did use colorful language. And by colorful, we were cursing. We grown and pay taxes round

2022/12/05

The podcast is growing and the interview originated from my radio background, but the conversation is more than podcast worthy. The Netflix original mini-series, "From Scratch" has already been very well received on the streaming platform, ranking in their Top 10 for weeks after it's released. And one of it's stars, Keith David, shares about why you should see the series and what love is for him personally. --- Send in a voice message:

For the Thanksgiving holiday, I wanted to have a conversation that truly will feel like a family reunion. As stated in prior episodes, I am a proud Ball State University graduate. And on the journey when I found radio, I was able to meet an incredible individual, man, & friend in "Jim Flamez" but is known professionally as Dr. Jarrod Nicholas Dortch. Our conversation touches on so many various areas, but highlighted by: His experience at Ball State University Being a founder of the Ball State

Student loan forgiveness is a big deal to many people. But, not everyone has the same viewpoint of this program. As of Friday, November 11th, the program was halted again by a TX federal judge. There's plenty of headlines surrounding the program that was implemented by the Biden Administration. Last month, I had the chance to speak with the Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona and we spoke about the launch of the website where you can apply.

She kicked off this season talking about her smash hit series, "Bel Air" that is available to stream on Peacock. Now, she's back with her music that has gotten a lot of attention. "What I Didn't Tell You" from Coco Jones is a 7 song EP that has already been atop of the Apple Music charts and buzzing on YouTube all month long. I had the honor of talking with her again the days leading up to the project being released on all platforms & got the chance to hear how the music sounded at a private

When I take these long breaks between episodes, understand I'm always going to come back with something special. And I've got PLENTY of material coming the next few Mondays! So, on this Halloween, I am just getting back in Atlanta from my second trip to Indiana in two weeks. This visit was to speak at the 75th Anniversary Banquet for the Carver Community Center in Kokomo, Indiana. To have been asked to be a part of the celebration is something that I do not take lightly and I am still honored to

MORTALITY ft. Sam Sirmons

2022/09/14

I honestly wanted to drop this yesterday, but in the beginning of the episode, you'll quick see why I had to sit and marinate on this episode in particular. The premise of mortality is something I have an interesting relationship with. And it's a topic I'm sure I will be circling back to in the near future with this podcast. The shooting and untimely death of recording artist PNB Rock is one that reminds me of so many other high profile shootings. Ones that shouldn't happen at all. But, I think

This one is centered around an actress that is truly on her way to the next level & her latest film that it's theaters right now. There are summer films that will get your attention, then there are movies that are summer blockbusters. The latest Will Packer Productions & Universal Pictures film,

And, Mondays are the best days of the week again with another installment of the "What Do I Do Now?" podcast. This week's guest was through an "organic discovery" via Twitter, a phrase you'll hear in this episode. I mean, we even talked Beyonce's latest album, Renaissance. The guest I am speaking of is singer/songwriter/producer, Rob Milton. Not only has he achieved success internationally as a solo artist, but is in two groups as well. In this episode, we discuss: Rob's start in music starting

We are back for a third season. THREE?! Over 50 episodes in? I would be lying if I said I knew this was coming, but I am grateful to be laboring for another season full of amazing guests with interviews that I hope that people listen to and hear themselves in. For this season's premiere episode, I went back to my vault to an interview I did in April 2022 with an incredible talent in singer, songwriter, & actress, Coco Jones. Newly signed to Def Jam Records, promoting her latest single,
