The Unfiltered FUBU Files Part 1 Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

I'm back with another very special That Moment episode - this time with my partners Keith and Carl for some real behind-the-scenes stories from our early FUBU days. There's no filter on this one, so get ready for some never-before-heard tales of hustling to build the business, forging connections in the hip hop world, and the hard lessons we learned about partnerships, marriage and more.

From getting inspired by Kahlil Kain and almost losing our first big deal out of ignorance, to turning our Queens house into a factory and Keith sneaking into video shoots with "gifts" for the talent, we're pulling back the curtain. I'll take you inside those long nights in the studio with legends like Redman and Wu-Tang, and Carl will explain how he decided music was the natural next move for FUBU.

You'll hear how we leveraged our genuine friendships in hip hop to take the biggest risk of our career, the crazy story of ODB showing up at our house, and why Drake and others still rep FUBU hard today. No topic is off limits - we get real about the cost to our personal lives, beefs between partners, and the hard choices we made chasing our dreams. This is the unfiltered origin story of a culture-shifting phenomenon. Let's take it back to how it all started and reflect on the wild ride to get where we are today. Get ready for some inspirational tales and hilarious memories you can't miss!

Washington Nationals’ Owner Paxton Baker's Guide to Creating Your Own Success Opportunities Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

In a world where success is often equated with fame, it’s important to recognize and celebrate those who have made an extreme impact in their fields without receiving the same flowers as those in front of the camera. Paxton Baker, my latest guest, is the perfect example of that. He joined me to open up about his experiences working his way through BET to an executive position, how he strategically put himself in the position to become a sports team owner, latching onto what you’re passionate about, and more. He’s incredibly business savvy but manages to explain his approaches and methods in ways that any listener can understand and work towards.

You need to tune in not only to hear his powerful story, but to establish:

A position for yourself doing what you actually find value and meaning in
Long-lasting relationships that provide opportunities that you couldn’t have otherwise been exposed to
Negotiating and communication skills that secure deals and make people want to work with you (hint: it’s not about how you tell somebody to do something, it’s how you ask)
A multifaceted public persona as opposed to a one-dimensional character
Healthy habits that leave you clear-headed and focused
…and more!
