“It ain’t where you’re from, it’s where you’re at.”

Every one of these chats are so deep, so profound, so inspiring! I can only dream of being part of such an awakened tribe of beings. If I could only have a couple conversations like these, just a few times per year, it would maintain the high frequency I get vicariously here, with Common and all of his amazing guests! Namaste

Inspiring

This episode has depth and keeps your interest. It’s refreshing to hear someone talk about their faith and their active engagement in it. It’s not often you hear actors discuss it on a level of true engagement. No persuasion, just honest truth. Testimony.

Great Conversation

It was great listening to the stories of growing up. I think it is great to hear the stories of those you rarely hear stories from. Keep bringing the great content. Like the way you keep it short. Some podcast get to long at times.
