Ever felt the weight of society's expectations bearing down on you? I, Samaad, am no stranger to that pressure and in our latest episode, I peel back the layers of what I call societal guilt. Without the usual musical pizzazz—thanks to a pesky bout of allergies—I greet you with raw authenticity, diving into the personal challenges of meeting external standards while juggling my own aspirations. I'll also recount a week filled with simple pleasures, like setting up that out-of-office email and enjoying a glass of Prosecco, and the meaningful embrace of brotherhood spiced with deep life chats at ASW Distillery in Atlanta.

Sometimes, the most perplexing puzzles of life lie in our friendships, particularly when money enters the equation. As I prepare to inspire the bright minds at Wiley University, I reflect on my own experiences with financial trust, starting with a pivotal moment involving my godfather Rodney. Money lending among friends can be a treacherous path, and I recount a recent situation that underscored the importance of crystal-clear expectations. Through these stories, I hope to navigate you through the delicate balance of maintaining relationships while also honoring commitments.

To cap things off, I'm thrilled to share that we've hit a new milestone - 4,000 subscribers on our YouTube channel! The journey doesn't end here; it's a stepping stone as we gear up for the season finale, and I'm all-in on the emotional rollercoaster that is impending fatherhood. Join me as I express heartfelt thanks for the unwavering support and invite you all to continue embracing our highs and lows. No guests, no filters, just a man and his thoughts—lending a voice to the shared human experience.
