Talking to the dude from Detroit - my family culture has always been move for the job or career. We knew we'd make time to see each other.

I'm glad I moved to enhance my career and build my life. No regrets making the decision.

Some men are won't take that risk but they should.

LOL at him trashing Phllly and Detroit. I'd agree - Houston, Atlanta, Charlotte if he wants Black women in a major metropolitan industry.

Maybe DC but you'd have to be in the upper crust.

Black men gotta be selfish. Live for your own. Sometimes your fam can hinder you.

:manny:

I tried to get on the show to but it was so many men in the zoom waiting room.

Also some dudes were walking around with shirts off, walking around in general using a cell phone camera. Some in there bedroom at home with a desk in the corner, meanwhile I'm in my actual office at home.

Just by being in the zoom waiting room getting a sample of Kev's listeners I just thought to myself, "this is his audience huh". That said, I'm sure The Coli would be the same if we could really see who's behind these post.

Everybody gotta start somewhere.

At least there are ppl making an effort by placing a desk in their bedroom. Not everyone is at the level of taking down an extra bedroom and turning it into a home office.

Same. I’m fortunate enough to have older brehs check in and give game.

I wish the Wolfpack concept was just as easy as when BW form sisterhoods. Tech is a good sector to give value to others tho.

did you go to college? My “wolf pack” in my 20s were my college homies, we were roommates until i bought my place in the city.

This shownis showing how men are nothing but utility even to their own family where they get robbed of developing themselves because they are serving others from a young age. This is why you see all these awkward brehs thinking they need magical game to bag square chicks instead of just being a damn man.

Before even BW….Black FAMILIES rob the best boys of time, money and utility. They think you’re there to serve them and make up for the women who failed at life. Like breh is 36, 150k earner, and is co signing on a condo for his 65 year old mom.

my mom tried it from when I was in HS. She saw how I was with money and to this day she wants me to buy a duplex so she can live in one part and I in the other. Even got propositioned to buy a house with my parents and live in it with them.

I love y’all but nope. Can’t and not. Sorry. I gotta live for me. I like my freedom. I’ll buy a house on my own.

Yes, nice, wish I had that. I had a group, but we all sort of just split.

They either:
  • Got married & disappeared
  • Didn’t want to grow up
  • Left to do their own thing
  • Went to another group
  • Or didn’t provide any value so they were dropped
It’s all matchmaking in a sense, ppl gotta find value in you and just like I have to see the value you would bring in the “group”. But just like dating, ppl are looking for a finished person to mooch off of. Atleast from what I see in NYC.

It sounds depressing and shytty, but I believe you have friends once you’re that “GUY” or have social status.

Idk if it’s me, but a lot of the monologues be sounding the same now. I get it though it’s hard to talk about new stuff when he comes on 6 days a week.

On top of starting late, dude be on for 3-4 hours lol.

When he did that Defending Brittany Renner video he was on til like 3 in the morning.

:russ::mjlol:

ill say it depends on the school you went to. Like being at a commuter school its hard, going to an HBCU, or a big school with a “black community” the top dudes tend to take to each other and click up. All of my “click” are married with kids now out side of few with -a BM but they still corporate dudes.

I like when Kev asked dude "what gym do you go to" and the gym replied "to the one in my building". Immediately Kev said you need to be at a gym in a booming neighborhood and not just the one in your building because its convenient.

Just this week I just telling my boy how in 2022 I'm going to start going to a "high end" gym mainly for the networking opportunities and amenities. And for those of you that say "oh, you're in the gym to work out blah blah". I ended up meeting a producer for, let's say CNN to not put anyone's business out there, who was a brother at a very nice gym I used to attend just off the strength we were the only two brothas in the place.

When you start hanging around certain areas you really do have the opportunity to elevate your network.

My mom got me to use my VA loan at 21 to finance her a house. I was against it but she guilted me into by saying she would refinance it later an alot of crying. It took 11 years for her to finally refinanced it (this year), but she did. however it almost ruined our relationship. At one point she was missing payments and I felt she didn't care but that's neither here nor there. Eventually i learned to keep a good 2 months worth of mortgage payments in the account.

That said I'd never cosign for anyone outside of a future wife.

I met some good folks in my 20s and early 30s but I was more into powerlifting and olympic weightlifting then.

I may start going to a higher end gym based on what KS was saying. I'm in a long term relationship, may marry my GF, but I have a lot of financial and entrepreneurial goals I want to accomplish in my 40s so this is good advice.
