Episode Details

Hey everyone!

I’m so excited to share the latest episode of our bonus series, “Vibing with Guests” 🥂! Every month, 1–3 guests join me on a Friday to bring powerful conversations that spark growth, wisdom, and connection.

This week, I’m joined by Mr. Knowledge, a trailblazing Black business owner and barber with 24 years of experience in self-employment. It was truly an honor to have him on this episode, especially since he has been a huge help in providing the space at his studio where I record my sessions. His story, passion, and wisdom bring so much value to this conversation.

We dive into his entrepreneurial journey, his insights on mental health in the Black male community, and his next big step—pursuing a Master’s in Social Work. We also explore how he continues to uplift men, create safe spaces for healing, and build a lasting legacy.

🔑 In this episode, we unpack:

• Education | Entrepreneurship | Business | Psychology | Mental Health | Life Wisdom
• Mr. Knowledge’s 24-year journey as a barber and what business lessons formal education can’t teach
• The role of barbershops as safe spaces for men to express themselves and talk about mental health
• Balancing hustle with healing while building a business rooted in culture and community
• Why creating a safe space for men is vital for mental, emotional, and social growth
• The connection between real-world business experience and his passion for social work
• The legacy he’s building and the advice he’d give to young Black men breaking barriers in entrepreneurship

✨ This episode with Mr. Knowledge is more than a conversation—it’s a blueprint for resilience, community, and growth.
