of your life. It's going to be highs and lows. Right now is the time to start fixing it.

Ask the right questions, get around the right people. I promise you, you're going to be good, bro. All right, y'all, listen, man, this is going to be a good episode. I can already tell. Because we had a great conversation beforehand, I'm liking the energy in the room. I'm a big energy guy. So I like the energy in the room. We have a really dope guest. Someone that y'all probably

0:38.1

have seen before on social media, him and his wife talking about finances and relationships

and playing it, a lot of dope things. I've definitely shared some stuff with Naima. Don't ask me if

Saved in one of those collections that you save everything in, right? And you're like, yo, I got to get to this later. Um, so for those you guys that are new here, thank you for being here. Thank you for tapping in with us. If somebody said this to you, that means that they care about you. They value you as a friend, as a brother, right?

If you are an existing listener, that means you've listened before or you've shared something from our platform in any way, shape, or form, we want to say thank you, thank you, because without people like you, we don't get to a new audience, we don't grow to the place that we are today, and we don't help to impact the black men in the community. And so that's what this platform is about. It's about impacting people, impacting black men, helping black men through all facets of their lives. And relationships is one of those big, big pieces that we deal with that I think drives us to make a lot of different decisions, sometimes positive, sometimes negative. And so we're going to talk about that today. Without further ado, we have Daryl Bailey.

Today is like a mental health day, but it's also like an expressious health day. I can actually get on here and talk about some really good stuff. So I'm excited to dive into some conversation, man. Yeah. I'm doing good, man. Yeah. I'm glad, man. I'm happy to have you here, bro, for real, because like I said, bro, you're someone that I've seen on social media, seeing the content. I felt like it was very impactful. And I'm a person that's very solution-oriented. I don't like just having conversations about the same thing over and over and over
