Hey Attempters. Make sure to follow us on IG and head to the website for more! Josh Thomas was my guest and he’s awesome. I actually was following him b/f we were even introduced. He started this cool dad apparel company called WASHED DADS (We Are Super Heroes Every Day) with a group of his friends who quote, “share the mission of reclaiming the narrative of Black fatherhood and poignantly countering stereotypes that depict absent Black fathers.” Love that. 

But he’s not some guy who quit their job and is now rolling in cash. He is however a big man at Amazon. In fact, he’s now the highest-ranking Black operator among the company’s thousands of Global Specialty Fulfillment employees. He’s a regional director for nine of Amazon’s faster-than-same-day fulfillment centers. This guy is busy but not too busy to chat with me! 

We talk about being a dad and busy businessman, how he was raised by his father and sometimes homeless, and why letting his daughter ride her bike to Target (like he did when he was a kid) had his wife questioning his sanity!

Hey Attempters! Summer is over. Kids are back in school. Your sliver of sanity will now return.

Football is back. Cooler temps. Less bugs. Man, I love Fall.

This week we have Chris Meyer. He's an author, screenwriter, lawyer, business creator of an online fitness program called Fun And Moving, owner of a funeral home...and father of three boys. Chris talks about how his life changed by coaching his son through basketball for nine years! He talks about the future of sports (NIL?!) and also how important a mentor was in his life and what motivates him to be a great father!

Make sure to check out Chris' Amazon page for all his books and follow us on IG for more dad content!

Hey Attempters! Happy Father's Day and how is your summer? We've been road tripping so follow along on my social and make sure to be following the show on IG as well!

This week we have Ro Parrish in the house. You know him if you watch NBA basketball. He’s all over the place chatting with Barkley and Shaq, hosting all type of shows related to the game on all the different Turner networks like TNT and TBS and recently has added actor to his resume with a show on BET called Games People Play. 

We met when he was thinking of auditioning for The List–that was a pop culture show I was hosting in Phoenix back in 2014-2017 and we just stayed in touch. 

Each of the dads I have on my show have a unique background and situation in their attempting of fatherhood and Ro is no different. He has a daughter named Jordan who is 8, and is not married. Also Jordan lives in TX but Ro is in ATL so he talks about raising a daughter in a long-distance type of way so we get into all that and it's a really fun chat with a great dad.
