365 Brothers - Listening to Black Men

Several years back, a recently fired Jarrett Thomas was given an opportunity to go into sales. He had zero experience, but needed the money. As the others in the room introduced themselves as graduates of various Ivy League universities, Jarrett introduced himself as from the Bronx, named his high school instead of a college and added "I'll be the number one sales person here!" Yep! He did that! Then he was that. He made top salesman within six months and continued that streak for three years running. He's still at it and better than ever.

He's competitive, persistent and consistent in all things that matter. So much of this interview is easily the beginning material for a master class on sales and success. Listen up!

Jarrett Thomas currently works as an Enterprise Account Executive with Hootsuite.

Favorite movie is A Bronx Tale. Favorite song is Optimistic by Sounds of Blackness.

In 1967, the United States Supreme Court ruled in Loving v. Virginia that interracial couples could not be denied the right to marry one another. Also in 1967, Kevin Hofmann's White mother was married to a White man and pregnant by her Black lover during the year of the Detroit Riots. She had the baby, agreeing to put the child up for adoption to maintain her marriage.

Kevin Hoffman was quickly adopted by a White family living in Dearborn, MI. While the family welcomed Kevin with open arms, the community welcomed him with a cross burning on the adopting parents lawn. The variety of experiences Kevin had growing up biracial in both a majority Black neighborhood and later another majority White neighborhood honed his understanding of race relations and commitment to empowering diversity in schools, businesses and society at large. Listen in on his unique perspective.

Kevin Hofmann is a diversity and inclusion trainer and speaker, as well as the author of Growing up Black in White.

Favorite song is Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder.

One day Jesse Ross decided to apply his ample skills at fundraising for nonprofit and other organizations to a few projects of his own choosing. He set no maximum goal, no limit. The result was $200,000 and counting going toward the community projects he chose to support. No surprise that among the causes he supports is relief for the unhoused/homeless. Jesse spent a year of his youth homeless and he shares his experience with us.

Jesse has developed his core values of integrity, transparency and relationships and uses that foundation to make what others might doubt come to pass. Those values certainly played a role in his being admitted into an MBA program even though he had not actually completed his undergraduate studies.

Jesse Ross is a diversity, equity, and inclusion consultant, executive coach, and international speaker who has delivered over 400 speaking engagements.

Favorite song is I'll Be Loving You Always by Stevie Wonder. Favorite movie is Love Jones.

Karee Everett is an entertainer making it in New York. The key to making it in New York was not only being an actor, dancer and producer, it was adding "whatever you need" to his hustle. Even babysitter and dog walker to stay in the city that never sleeps. Like the rest of us, he had imperfect parents. There were periods his parents battled addiction and he spent a brief time in foster care. He identifies and shares the wake-up call that brought his family together for good. It's the messy and wonderful experiences of family, love and redemption that set the stage for Karee to work toward his dreams no matter what.

He is currently part of the C+C Music Factory live performances.

Favorite song: Stingy by Ginuwine.

Favorite words: I may be short in stature, but you'll still look up to me."

Sam Williams admits to being more interested in athletics than his studies in high school. Fortunately for Sam, Coach Jim Newman helped him adjust his priorities. The result was that Sam attended and graduated from Arizona State University (ASU) before being drafted into the NBA in the early 80s.

After playing with two NBA teams, he finished out his pro basketball career in leagues throughout Europe and Asia. His first daughter was born in Turkey during this period. Sam talks candidly about planning for sons and being blessed with two daughters. Retired from basketball and living in Los Angeles, Sam is currently a sports entrepreneur.

When Lee Ardoin moved from his small hometown of Port Arthur, Texas to Houston in eighth grade, a new world of possibilities opened up. He found himself getting rules for life from his basketball coach. His teammates invited him into their well-appointed homes. Lee started asking questions. "What do your parents do?" And that lead him to the realization that he didn't need athleticism to make it big.

Lee currently works in the records department at a Houston law firm by day, and works on a variety of creative endeavors the rest of his waking hours. 365 Brothers guests are often mid- or late-career, but today we get to hear from a Brother whose just getting started.

Although raised primarily in the Bronx where he currently resides, Sean Atkinson spent his teen years in Los Angeles during the 1990s. His firsthand account of the strategic process used by some community residents during the riots following the Rodney King verdict sheds light on his commitment to diversifying both the Marketing and Branding industry and the small to medium business community. At six feet, nine inches, it's only natural that everything he does stands head and shoulders above others.

Our conversation covers a lot of ground. From the stereotyping of tall Black men as athletes to finding one's own path. From a harrowing encounter with the police at age fourteen to the experience as a mail clerk in a narcotics division. We even talk about privilege--white privilege, tall privilege, American privilege. The entire conversation was a privilege for me and it will be a blessing to you.

Favorite song: Risin' To The Top by Keni Burke.

Favorite words:  The Autobiography of Malcolm X as told to Alex Haley.

Research suggests that some fifteen percent of the population are genetically predisposed to being particularly sensitive to their environments and situations. While being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) makes Darryl Webster great at his job as a clinical social worker and likely contributed to his being honored as a National Father of the Year, it also lead to anxiety, panic attacks and depression. Fortunately, one of his college role models turned Darryl into an avid reader. After discovering through his own research and reading that he was an HSP, he sought out the support he needed.

He lives an extraordinary life. Still married to his high school sweetheart. Three college-educated children. One of the three achieved the distinction of Winningest Athlete while attending Harvard University. Not to mention being a well-respected and beloved clinical social worker in the public school setting.

Darryl Webster knows the difference support makes in managing mental illness and living one's best life. That's why he's put his experiences with overcoming anxiety, panic attacks and depression into a book so that other HSPs can get the help and support they need. Check it out:  I Thought I Was Going Crazy - Overcoming Stress, Anxiety and Depression.

Favorite song: Lift Every Voice and Sing, aka the Black National Anthem. Also, this version includes the lyrics on screen.

Favorite words: Maya Angelou's “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

You can hear in the background that the loss of his mother on Christmas Day when he was 16-years-old altered the course of his life. Call it serendipity or fate, but a book found in jail on chakras not only saved him, it became the impetus for a life change, a vegan lifestyle and a mission to promote self-healing. Rance Dunbar is now known as the Chakra Doctor.

Our conversation goes so many places. And this New Orleanian has a way with words that will leave you laughing and/or shaking your head throughout. You may not agree with everything he says, but you will love that you heard it.

Baltimore's Wordsmith bridges all kinds of gaps. As part of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's Strategic Expansion Team, he is building a bridge between the city's classical music icon and Baltimore's majority Black Community. He bridges cultural gaps by partnering with the United States Department of State to expand his global music tours into far flung places that wouldn't otherwise have access to a top-of-the-line concert experience. He even bridges resource gaps through his nonprofit Rise With a Purpose and supporting musicians via record label N U Productions.

Favorite movie is Memento. ( One of my favorites, too.)

Favorite words are the ones he lives by "Rise With a Purpose."
