About Perfecting Progession

A conversation about navigating life’s many obstacles. As a former college athlete, my goal is to break down certain experiences that may be rude awakenings. I look to clarify common misconceptions, talk about discovering ones purpose, and discuss how to navigate societal issues as a young black adult. This podcast will strive to keep all listeners ahead of the game.
