    This wasn’t an interview. It’s a Ted Talk or Masterclass in The Curriculum of Character !! The transparency is palpable!!

    i LOVE LOVE LOVE how much sam kept biggin up the importance of having a REAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD this WHOLE interview!! 👏🏽👏🏽 he’s such a poet also; every sentence he speaks sounds like it could be a line in a book or a song ☺️

    This interview was definitely a slow burn at first. I didn’t expect the first hour to be basically him dropping gems, sharing most of his life, the lessons he learned, all the people in his life that guided him to where he is now and God constantly blessing and showing him what could’ve been. Shouts out to Sam Hook, dope individual, amazing story.

    What words can I use to describe this episode? It felt like one where you need to pause, meditate, and let it all sink in. Each week, I’m drawn to this podcast for its knowledge and engaging interactions, but this episode was on another level-like a masterclass where you just want to sit, take notes, and absorb every detail. Phenomenal, though definitely challenging to put into practice right away.

      @iamMsSaddler .....sit, take notes, and absorb..... I will be rewinding it several times. This had me stop teleworking and gave this my full attention. This was great.

    Just watched the replay…. Let me apologize up front; I have never heard of this young man in my life but I really enjoyed this podcast! As a Christian, I’m a little concerned about some of these artist ( especially the language..) But I’m encouraged when I hear them refer back to their Christian up bringing and how they still hold on to it. As I listened to him share his journey, I can see how life matured him….and that’s with a lot of your guest on the podcast. And I appreciate how Tank & J just let him talk…………..Very inspiring young man. May God bless & keep you.

    Moral of the story, don't burn bridges with people. We honestly never know who God is putting into our lives and what their purpose is in our lives. I love this episode, Sam Hook is extremely talented and I am glad people are seeing and knowing who he is. Thank you fellas for giving him his flowers.

    Every freaking minute of this was a Gem. Made me rethink my whole life. What I love about this pod is that if they are not an artist I don't know who they are behind the scenes or their connections and now I do. It just adds so much love and respect that I have for R&B. The honesty and humbleness in this particular interview is unmatched.

    He unlocked more of his brain’s potential. While there isn’t a secret part of the brain that we can “unlock,” certain practices can help you access more of its full potential. Through consistent effort, we can improve how we think, learn, and adapt, effectively maximize the brain’s capabilities. Amazing
