Episode 18: HomeGrown Worldwide & Fountain of Youth "3rd Annual Skills Development Camp"
I pulled up to the 3rd Annual Skills Development Camp in Alachua, FL to chop it up with some local NFL and college talent. The Philadelphia Eagles', Quinyon Mitchell, 22nd pick of the NFL draft was present and I had the opportunity to catch up with him and his dad. Overall, this was a great camp for our local youth and I love what the guys are doing for our area.

Episode 16: 4fmariii & BikeLife
For episode 16, we posted up at Fortitude Gym in east Gainesville. We had the opportunity to sit with two sharp young brothers and discuss the Bike Life. If you live in Gainesville, FL you have probably witnessed Z3 riding around town doing some of the most amazing tricks on his bike. So I reached out to him to hear his story. I must say, this was personally one of my favorite interviews. I love to see young men doing something positive, and he's all about "put the gun down and pick up a bike". I love the message. And the fact that he is taking other young brothers like KShorty under his wing is admirable✊🏽
Y'all go subscribe to his YouTube channel @4fmariii (https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCJg9SRyW73UYpsWCZKikOMg). We always talk about how these young boys be out here throwing their lives away, well let's support this young brother who's trying to do the opposite.
Please excuse our video quality on this one, we had some camera issues.

Episode 8: The Prison System
Episode 8 had us posted up at the Ray residence on a stormy Sunday afternoon. This one was special for me because it's been close to 20yrs since the last time I saw my homie Jeffrey. He did 15yrs behind the walls, and we sat down with him to talk about his experience. Ach Azriel also shared his experience as an officer inside of prison, so this made for some great conversation.

Episode 6: Hawthorne Road Hoyas
After a quick hiatus, we're back in business. Episode 6 found us sitting down with one of the Hawthorne Road Hoyas, Jerrod "Juice" Owens. We talked about the origin of the Hoyas and why they do what they do. I had to give them props because this year is the 10th year anniversary of their annual Hoya Weekend in Gainesville. Doing anything for 10 consecutive years takes commitment and perseverance, especially for young dudes like them✊🏽💯 We have nothing but respect for that!
