"Self-awareness," a word that's become trendy of late due to the welcome uptick of mental health discourse across various platforms but what is it really? Is it just another spooky, mystical, hocus-pocus term "spiritual" people throw out there to feel woke? Or could it be a natural ability we all possess and can develop? In this EP, SB attempts to peel back the layers and demystify the concept.

"Men are trash!" "Black Lives Matter!" "The country is divided." These are the kind of phrases that have become commonplace within social discourse but why? What is it that makes "them" (people who belong in these and other minority groups) complain? Why is there so much suffering? Why is everyone rushing to the podium to talk about how they feel, what they've been through and why should it even matter to you? In this EP, SB delves into how a much-needed self-practice (Empathy) may be one of the solutions to developing a deeper understanding of others starting with ourselves. Having clearer insights into the nature of our pain may help us develop greater appreciation/awareness of what people who aren't like us go through which leads to lessened conflict, greater solidarity and support for others. After all, don't we really, truly, need each other?

SB returns for EP2 with his first guest; rapper/artist/storyteller extraordinaire - RUKUS. The topic - #BetheBag delves into issues surrounding self-worth where we are reminded that it's not enough to secure the bag, we also have to secure ourselves, for we are - The Bag.

The very first episode of SB's #TheRealBlackGold podcast (#TRBGpod) delves into the concept of self love; what it is, what isn't, how it impacts us on a daily basis. SB provides Biblical support for self love as a Divine concept who's ultimate impact doesn't just end with the self but ends in love for us all.
