Black Fathers, NOW! Episode 11-Exposing Young Black Males to the Art of Podcasting at the Uunik Academy “Steami” Summer Camp


Today’s Episode was a Blast!!!  I had the unique opportunity to speak to a group of young men about the Art of Podcasting.  Before I started recording, we went over all the different things involved in producing an episode.  The young men got an opportunity to see EVERYTHING from start to finish.  You’ll get a quick intro from all the guys…then we got to work!

Remember Fellas…Fatherhood also means you serve as an example to other young men in your various communities.  Therefore, when you get an opportunity to serve and inspire those that are coming up behind you…Do it!  I hope you all had a great Fathers Day!

Black Fathers, NOW! Episode 4-Don’t Wait until You’re Full to Fill Somebody Else up. Be A Tube and Not a Vessel (Wisdom)


Visit WWW.BLACKFATHERSNOW.COM

<PLEASE RATE, SHARE and COMMENT ON THIS EPISODE>

Fellas,

 

Today’s quick episode Challenges the Brotha’s to Become a “Tube” instead of a “Vessel”.  A Tube allows what comes in to pass through to the other side…A Vessel (cup, bowl, container) must be completely full before what gets poured in comes out.  Don’t Wait until you’re Full to pour into someone else!
