This one isn’t just another episode—it’s a time capsule. A journey back to where it all started. In this heartfelt, hilarious, and revealing sit-down, I catch up with a longtime friend and brother from another era: Abdul Muhammad.
We’re talking back-in-the-day. high school hallways, life before the internet knew our names. This episode dives into stories that haven’t been told—raw, real, and rooted in who we were before the titles, businesses, and responsibilities came calling.
Abdul is a man of many layers. Hip-hop artist. Clothing brand founder. Nonprofit leader with the Quality of Life Foundation right here in Fort Myers. Martial artist. Promoter. Entrepreneur. You name it—he’s done it. But what makes this episode powerful isn’t just his resume—it’s how every chapter of his life has intertwined to shape who he is today.
We talk about life lessons passed down from our parents, the hard truths and quiet wisdom we didn’t understand back then but carry now. We swap stories from high school—some funny, some wild, some that just might make you see “the old Joe” in a whole new light. These are the moments that made us. The decisions that took us from being just boys in a van to men with vision, drive, and purpose.
Abdul opens up about what it means to evolve while staying rooted. How hip-hop taught him storytelling. How martial arts taught him discipline. How community work taught him legacy. And how branding in the digital age ties it all together.
If you’ve ever wanted to know who I was before the show, before the real estate, before the mic—this is the episode to press play on. It’s nostalgic, it’s inspiring, and it’s proof that the people you grow up with can still grow with you… if you let them.
Join us as we reflect, laugh, and drop gems on what it means to grow up, level up, and keep it real through every season of life.
Tune in. Share it. And if you’ve got an Abdul in your life—call him.
