Ep. 28 | THE JOURNEY PT. 2 (CAGE MENTALITY)
June 01, 2021 16:28 - 57 minutes - 78.5 MBPart two of my series “The Journey” focuses on how I became a prisoner of my own thoughts. There was an experimental study conducted by a few college Universities to study the effects of placing monkeys in a cage. The monkeys became enemies and kept each other from leaving instead of helping each other. I spent YEARS trying to break myself free of this mentality, and it wasn’t until I surrounded myself with positivity that I realized how important it was to have a community of brothers. 0...
Ep. 27 | THE JOURNEY
May 19, 2021 22:51 - 39 minutes - 54 MBThis is the first installment of a new series I’m titling “THE JOURNEY.” The journey is where true character is revealed. Most people rave about the destination because it gives them a reason to keep striving. The journey actually encourages more people because it teaches us how to remain strong, even when the destination isn’t in sight.
Ep. 26 | HEAVY BAGGAGE
May 10, 2021 18:31 - 46 minutes - 63.9 MBHow can you tell if the weight you’re carrying is strengthening you or hindering you? Physically, heavy weights can be a sign of endurance. Emotionally, a heavy heart can be a sign of burdens that we are not meant to carry. I’ve learned that God is willing to help me carry heavy weights whenever I’m willing to ask for it.
MENtal Health (S3E3)
September 07, 2020 13:33 - 1 hour - 100 MBWhat happens when a boy is told to “man up,” without ever having a man in his life? What happens when a boy doesn’t know how to treat women respectfully, because he never saw a man treating his mother respectfully? How can we encourage those who grew up without a father (or father figure) in a society that has diminished the true essence of manhood? I brought my father back for another episode to discuss the importance of masculinity, NOT the way we define it, but the way God ordained it. #TS...

Different Worlds (a discussion w/Matt Rajt)
February 04, 2020 17:25 - 1 hour - 96.4 MBToday, I had a very in-depth discussion with my military brother and best friend, Matt Rajt. Our goals have always been similar, but our paths have always been different. Your upbringings, morals, principles, and values don’t make you any better or worse than anyone else. It just makes you different. A table of diversity only works if everyone at the table is willing to understand before being understood. When you can ask the right questions, it prevents you from assuming the wrong answers. J...
Protect your Investment
January 27, 2020 14:43 - 46 minutes - 63.3 MBLearning how to invest, is just as important as learning WHAT to invest. William Buffet once said “The best investment you can make is an investment in yourself. The more you learn, the more you’ll earn.” -TSM 💪🏾

God bless! -TSM 💪🏾
Resolution Execution
January 09, 2020 20:23 - 42 minutes - 57.9 MBWe begin the second season by discussion New Year Resolutions. Making a decision to change your habits isn’t an issue. Failing to follow through with the decision is the issue. This season will consist of more special guests, more controversial topics, and more topics that require a series. It will take longer than 45 minutes to break down and properly dissect certain things (particularly those pertaining to The Bible), and the goal is to ensure everyone leaves with a better understanding of ...
Giving back
January 02, 2020 17:30 - 1 hour - 82.6 MBWhile everyone is in the “holiday spirit,” it tends to be viewed as the spirit of giving. Today, I got to sit and discuss with my childhood friend, Raphael Mostyn, about how giving back is one of the ultimate gifts of life. We discussed the importance of giving back, passing down wealth, and the “Mostyn Community Development.” Enjoy! -TSM 💪🏾
Selfless
December 17, 2019 22:56 - 41 minutes - 56.5 MBBeing selfless is a great attribute to have. It means you value the well-being of everyone you’re connected with. It’s just as important to understand that being selfless does NOT mean you place everyone else’s happiness before your own. Far too many people find themselves burnt out from exhausting their time and effort to help someone else without ever taking the time to care for themselves. Join us as we discuss the different perspectives of what it means to be selfless. #TSM 💪🏾

Church Hypocrisy
November 23, 2019 01:51 - 1 hour - 89.6 MBBeing a PK (preacher’s kid), I often get questioned, interrogated, and even ridiculed by peers. I openly answer any questions they have regarding the church. But to me clear and direct, being a PK does not mean I automatically agree with everything being done and said in the church. It’s quite contrary. The church has slowly turned into a court room, where people will be a judge of your sins, but a lawyer for their own. I’ve decided to bring my Father/Pastor (Larry A. Smith Sr) on this episod...
The Truth about Mental Health
November 21, 2019 01:57 - 56 minutes - 76.9 MBMental Health is a priority. Priorities require action! Often times, we dismiss the topic without fully understanding the importance of it.

Steph vs. Lebron
October 30, 2019 01:03 - 43 minutes - 60 MBSteph Curry and Lebron James are two of the NBA’s most well-known figures both on and off the court. They are both MVPs, philanthropists, and both are 3x Champions. Their upbringings are different, while their careers are similar. Steph Curry grew up with a father who played in the NBA.

Pilot (The Challenge)
October 15, 2019 21:11 - 49 minutes - 68 MBThis is the first episode of the official TSM Podcast. This episode gives the listeners a preview of what to expect from upcoming episodes. I will challenge the way my listeners think, act, and react. People have grown accustomed to blindly following crowds without any validity behind the crowds they are following.
