Work through me, Lord. Thank goodness that I'm around a group of people that love the same thing I love: media and the communication field. It's been helping.  In this episode, I give a rundown of what has occurred at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) 50th convention. I was there reppin' the Northeast chapter, as well as the NABJ Entrepreneurship Task Force. I had the opportunity to speak, moderate, conduct a meeting (all with the help of Shernay Williams, chair of the Task Force and our mentor, Brett Chambers).  **a moment happened after this recording and it was excellent. I'll speak on it on the next go 'round**  I also speak about how the city of Cleveland was welcoming to the organization hosting their convention there. They're screaming for more and I'm with giving it to the people! With that, most folks wasn't aware of NABJ's existence, so I spend time spe...

I'll go into details later on where this is coming from, but I wanted to get this out to keep consistency going (even though I don't like the video...I'll explain that later as well) and I wanted to relieve my brain from ALL of the thoughts occurring.  Share any thoughts in the comments about how you handle not taking things for granted. Talk soon. Be good to others and to yourselves. #TOTHETOP ***********************************  Follow Mr. Al Pete socials and site below:  Website: https://mralpete.com  Instagram: @mralpete  Threads: @mralpete  Facebook: Mr. Al Pete  YouTube: https://youtube.com/mralpete  Substack: https://substack.com/@mralpete  Discord: https://discord.gg/HVZCDEPY  Powered by The MPN Network.   ***********************************  Follow The MPN Network socials and site below:  Website: https://mpn-llc.com  Instagram: @mpnmanagement  Threads: @mpnmanagement  Facebook: The MPN Network...

In this round of talking, I talk about the lack of support I experienced from recent events I hosted. I give some points as to how to deal with not receiving love from people you expected to support you.  FYI, it's not healthy at all to depend on people to support you. Please acknowledge the feelings that come with it, BUT, find ways to deal with it and keep fighting your way TO THE TOP...!!!  I also speak on the recent defunding of public media and public radio. It's an unfortunate situation that Congress and yall president pushed, but there are ways to support your public stations in your city. The news and music that comes from these stations are important to have for communities to be informed. Take notes and read up on the article for more awareness: https://protectmypublicmedia.org .  Enjoy and see you on the next 'round.  ***********************************  Follow Mr. Al Pete socials and site below:  ...

I wanted to speak (more) about having, and ultimately finding gratitude in the things that surround us. Granted, it’s very easy to focus on what factors aren’t assisting specific systems and environments, but it seems difficult to find the small, or big things that serve us.  In this state of things, we have to learn to lean more in what serves us greatly. Even if it’s a little gesture. In this episode, I share my thoughts on how I show gratitude and grace to what I’ve been fortune to experience. Hopefully, it’ll resonate with others.

The voicemail started off with ‘hey Curtis…’ and the message commence to give details about ‘Curtis’ getting the position vs. me.  Talk about feeling like I wasn’t worth enough to get the job and also feeling like ‘sheesh…how do you call the wrong candidate and leave a message about the other candidate getting the position’. Yeah. More on that AND other positions I didn’t get in the episode. Gotta keep it pushing and stay positive, right?

This is a short one. I took an article that I wrote about this podcast and made it in an audio version. Boom for the short work...even though writing the article was quicker than recording it.  Over on my Substack page , I'm writing articles about the numerous components that make up The MPN Network . I believe this is my fourth article that I've written. More will come, for sure. The plan is to write an article up until December 2025. We're celebrating the whole year in content creating style, and Clear Visions is definitely part of the reason why MPN exists.  Again, if you read the article...cheers to 5 years of MPN and the creation of everything around it. Cheers as well to Clear Visions.
