In this episode, host NeAndre Broussard—founder and CEO of Black Menswear—sits down with actor Lawrence Robinson for an honest conversation about faith, discipline, and the long road from Philly to New York to LA. From his early days as a baggage handler (and a real-life run-in with Clifton Powell that changed his trajectory) to landing lead roles and leveling up in rooms he once only dreamed about, Lawrence breaks down what it really means to keep going when it’s scary—and keep believing when it’s quiet.

Together, they unpack:

The simple but steady quote that anchors him: “Trust God”
Discovering acting by accident—and realizing “this is it”
Fatherhood, sacrifice, and the fear that comes with chasing a dream
The advice Clifton Powell gave him (and how he followed it step-by-step)
Why his BET Tales lead role became a breakthrough moment—and how momentum followed
Being typecast, being misunderstood, and still staying true to who he is
Why training matters (class, craft, and confidence) and how “book the room” really works
Fashion as expression: Paris Fashion Week, layers, and building a vision bigger than the moment
The mindset battle: fear of “missing my mark” and keeping your vibrations high
The message he’d tell his younger self—and the one he leaves with Black men today: “You are enough.”

If you’ve been wrestling with timing, purpose, or pressure—this one is a reminder to keep showing up, keep doing the work, and keep trusting God with the outcome.

In this episode, host NeAndre Broussard sits down with Olly Sholotan for a conversation that’s equal parts reflective and forward-looking—about identity, brotherhood, artistic growth, and the kind of life lessons you don’t fully understand until you’re looking back.

He talks about the moments that made the journey feel surreal, the scenes that hit hardest emotionally, and the mindset shift that helped him stop living only for outcomes and start valuing the process.
Together they explore:

Life “understood backwards” and why the present moment matters more than we think
The emotional truth behind the final season: improvised moments that were barely acting
The reality of cultural isolation—and how it informed Olly’s portrayal and perspective
Why joy and grief can exist together in the same scene, the same day, the same season
How brotherhood shows up onscreen when it’s real offscreen
Navigating an industry that still requires Black artists to be “twice as good” to be considered
Why Olly’s current goal is simple: show up every day and sharpen the craft

John Gaines on Consistency, Confidence & Fatherhood: From Athlete to “Gains by Gaines”

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 11:00:00 -0000

In this momentum-building conversation, host NeAndre Broussard—founder and CEO of Black Menswear—sits down with trainer and creator John Gaines (aka Gains by Gaines) to unpack how daily habits shape identity, why confidence starts with keeping promises to yourself, and what it really takes to build a body—and life—that lasts.
John opens with a mantra that guides his coaching and fatherhood: “You are what you consistently do.” From there, he breaks down the athlete-to-entrepreneur pivot, the power of being coachable, and how “gains mentality” turns small reps into big results that actually stick.
We peel back the four layers—appearance, mindset, foundation, and core—while exploring:
✨ Consistency > intensity: stacking small wins, training smart, and celebrating incremental progress
✨ Making the gym translate to life: discipline, resilience, and keeping your word when no one’s watching
✨ Why coachability wins rooms—and opens doors—long before you speak
✨ Confidence as a felt experience: how putting in work changes how you walk into any space
✨ Sustainable transformation vs. crash fixes: realistic programming, plateaus, and meeting yourself where you are
✨ Community over ego: building relationships that refer, retain, and raise your ceiling
✨ Fatherhood & co-parenting with intention: leading with love, patience, and example as a #GirlDad
✨ Thriving in L.A.: finding your lane, protecting your foundation, and letting opportunity support purpose
If you’re an athlete in transition, a busy parent chasing health, or a builder who wants discipline to show up everywhere—this conversation is your blueprint. Come for practical frameworks on training and mindset—leave ready to chase gains in everything you do.
📌 Don’t miss it—this one blends fitness, fatherhood, and fundamentals you can apply today.

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 05:00:00 -0000

In this powerful episode of The Check-In, host NeAndre Broussard—founder and CEO of Black Menswear—sits down with wellness leader and entrepreneur Style Bell for a transparent conversation on purpose, money, resilience, and building with (and for) your community. Style opens up about foster care, seasons of homelessness, and the shift that changed everything: stop chasing checks—create value and the checks follow. He shares how that mindset took him from struggling to multi-millionaire, why he still offers free community workouts after nearly 15 years, and how he’s turning his home base into a neighborhood wellness hub (think turf, outdoor sauna, red light therapy, massage boots, and contrast therapy) so people can access tools they’ve never had. Together, we peel back the four layers—appearance, mindset, foundation, and core—while exploring: ✨ “I am my ancestors’ wildest dreams”—the daily reminder that grounds his grind ✨ Purpose over profit: building brand value the market rewards, instead of chasing quick income ✨ The 21-Day Challenge blueprint—habits, chef-led demos, modified workouts, mobile-first access, accountability, community, and $10,000 in prizes to the top 10 transformations ✨ MLM with integrity: structure, leadership, and why opportunity + discipline matters more than labels ✨ Discipline vs. distraction: a realistic morning rhythm (even “abs in bed”) and why some don’t need rigid routines ✨ Turning contrast into clarity—including processing a $500K financial hit without losing momentum ✨ Founders’ mental health: grief, identity, and why some seasons call for therapy, brotherhood, and honest rooms ✨ Travel, safety, and presence: lessons from ~50 countries and why Bali changed how he felt in his body ✨ Legacy in real time: widening access so more Black families build health, discipline, and financial freedom If you’re an entrepreneur or builder committed to changing your family tree, this conversation gives you a grounded playbook—how to sell value, lead people, protect your peace, and reinvest where you live. Come for the business and wellness gems—leave with a clearer blueprint for purpose-driven wealth. 📌 Don’t miss it—this one’s for every Black man ready to stack discipline, serve community, and grow something that lasts. 👍🏾 Like, ✍🏾 comment, and 🔔 subscribe for more culture-driven conversations that pour back into our people.

Together, we peel back the four layers—appearance, mindset, foundation, and core—while exploring: ✨ How to take 100% ownership of your mind (and stop letting the world program you) ✨ Practical tools: movement, creativity, and repetition to climb out of depressive ruts ✨ Why anger can be a bridge from shame to courage—then into peace and joy ✨ Building community that tells the truth, holds you down, and helps you grow ✨ Reconciling “both of ’em”: intellect and culture, faith and art, business and purpose ✨ The business of being a polymath—why the next era belongs to multi-hyphenates ✨ Creating from integrity (not just a “personal brand”) so the work fuels you instead of draining you ✨ Love, devotion, and partnership as mutual “watering” that overflows into purpose If you’re a creator, entrepreneur, or anyone navigating the tension between who you are and who the world rewards, this conversation will give you language, tools, and courage.
