LeBron James Dropped a Gem Everyone Missed | EP 074

Everyone’s talking about the LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith drama—but no one’s talking about the life-changing wisdom LeBron quietly dropped in his Pat McAfee interview.

In this episode of Broken Traditions, I break down a powerful moment where LeBron James reflects on not wanting to mess up the rare opportunity he was given. This isn’t about sports. This is about life, focus, and breaking away from self-sabotage.

If you’ve ever fumbled a bag, doubted your worth, or felt like opportunities pass you by—this is for you.

Kanye West Teaches a Hard Truth: You Can’t Heal Someone Else’s Wounds | EP 073

Kanye West is back in the headlines, but this time, it’s deeper than a tweet. In this episode of the Broken Traditions Podcast, we examine Kanye’s latest meltdown and ask a painful question: what do you do when someone you love is hurting—but won’t let you help?

From viral tweets about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s kids to public breakdowns and personal betrayals, Kanye’s life has become a cautionary tale. But this isn’t just about Kanye. It’s about loyalty, boundaries, and learning when to let go.

I open up about my own story—watching someone I love spiral into addiction—and the painful process of realizing I couldn’t save them. Sometimes the hardest lesson is this: you can’t heal someone else’s wounds.

🎙️ This episode is raw, real, and personal. Whether you’re dealing with a family member, friend, or even yourself… this one’s for you.

👉 Drop your thoughts in the comments: Would you stand by someone like Kanye… or walk away for your own peace?

Black Leaders Are Losing Influence—And That Might Be a Good Thing | EP 071

For decades, Black America has been told we need "leaders" to represent us, speak for us, and guide us forward. But what if that mindset is actually holding us back? In this episode of the Broken Traditions Podcast, we dive deep into the decline of influence among traditional Black leaders, using Al Sharpton as an avatar for a bigger conversation.

Are these figures truly advocating for our progress, or are they keeping us locked in a cycle of protest with no real solutions? Why are we still relying on the same outdated tactics from the 1960s when we have more power, access, and resources than ever before?

🔥 Key Topics Discussed:

The historical role of Black leaders & how that role has changed.
Why leaders like Al Sharpton are losing credibility.
The business of Black leadership—who really benefits?
How mainstream politics uses Black leaders to maintain control.
Why Black America doesn’t need a single leader anymore.
The real path forward—building economic power, education, and community solutions without waiting for permission.
It’s time for free-thinking Black Americans to break away from the traditional mindset of waiting for someone to lead us. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

👀 What do you think? Do we still need Black leaders, or is it time for us to take control of our own future? Let’s talk about it in the comments!
