I loved when he stated “You got to understand that your current situation not your final destination! “ The storm don’t last forever. I definitely needed to hear this! Thank you

[@quintindavis4690]

I like when stated "You go to understand tha urs currents situation not your final destination

[@Gunterforever]

Why was wrong latasha?

[@wonakeeamos]

These guys NEEED a podcast! NEO put them on the network!!!!

[@MaLiArtworks186]

This is their podcast.

[@jasmineavery4870]

15:01 I was about to cry! I love how he see that his father’s “rejection” was God’s protection!❤

[@GingerHales18]

Comparing Atlanta to Africa is the silliest shit. If you knew how big Africa really was, you wouldn't even have this thought.

[@stonedgaming5989]

Like frfr , besides everything else that was said 💎but they really love hearing them selves talk ..

[@TonettaDawson]

These Black Men are speaking facts. The transparency is what drew me in. They are expressing their feelings unapologetically. The rawness is what young black men need to see. Thank you.

[@traceybenson9062]

This was touching to hear men sharing their emotions. Usually, most guys have the stereotype of holding their feelings in, despite the fact that they have feelings too. This was refreshing to see them talking and sharing outside of the barbershop. I know that might be a stereotype also, but I support this. It’s good to see men in support of one another, especially during a time period where black on black crime has been prevalent, along with all the other racial injustices they face on a daily basis!! I pray that more brotherhoods and bonds can be created from this. Black women need to know how to understand our Kings and support them!!! We birth men but when it comes to dating men, we misunderstand them. I love our black men and want them to take back their rightful place in the black family & community. We need to hear their voices and allow them to rise!! 💯💯❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@ebonybrown3809]

Amazing to see Black kings working hard and expressing themselves calmly and putting family first, me and my kids father enjoyed watching this❤

[@Makingmovesfromhome]

Oh my! This filled my heart to see young kings talking honestly and working through very emotional subjects and life stories supporting and uplifting each other. This is a REAL example of what TRUE leaders look like. They didn’t let their past circumstances dictate where they were going and stayed humble by keeping it real.👑👑👑👑👑

[@strictlyf150]

Stories like these motivate me to start my business, not just for me but for my wife and kids. Respect.

[@Msnicolec2000]

Man…. Thank y’all. Thts all I gotta say. When I got this text to watch. It was crazy cuz I don’t really check text. But I watched this whole fuking thing and man bruh. I needed this. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤

[@Qtee2020]

So many new mantras taken away! I will be forwarding this to everyone I can think of! We need more podcasts and insight like this! We need this growth & mindset to spread! My kiddos were even tuning in to various parts! 🙌🏾

[@lisaboldenbolden2892]

I love to see fathers being leaders and not only lead in business but provide a better life for their family… Happy Fathers Day guys ❤️❤️❤️

[@ashleefranklin5075]

This couch is filled with loving, humble, egoless entrepreneurial TITANS, and I'm grateful for the bottomless pit of gems being shared in this podcast. I was initially led here from Neo's text message announcing a possible $500 drawing that we wanted to put towards our daughter's Spelman tuition next month, but now having watched, I'm realizing that even if we don't get the selected for the $$$ we're still walking away with a wealth of knowledge!! Thank you kings!!!❤🙌🏽💪🏽👏🏽💯🙏🏽😊

[@rocsi2008]

"Your current situation isn't your final destination" spoke volumes!! Powerful statement.

[@michellesc44]

Thank you for being inspirational. I’m a single mom and putting in the work. Love to see black excellence even through with the past struggles much love

[@JDaPrince08]

This felt like, some home boys who went through the struggle and came up and got together and started reminiscences... I enjoyed the conversation and much motivation 💪

[@meekaj1188]

10:57 am. I love seeing black men expressing themselves. Telling stories of their growth to where they are now, where they come from. The grind, the work ethic and how they had to humble themselves to push forward. Look at them now! I celebrate you black man. A much needed interview for me to watch with my 14 year old son. Stay up and grinding. Love you guys❤

[@bigc2579]

It must have been in the stars for me to see this sit down. I'm at a cross road in my life. Try to figure out how to start, where to start being able to make passive income. To be able to take better care of myself & my 13 yr old son. For 5 out the last 8 yrs I was in a nursing home/rehab to heal after major surgery from Crohn's Disease. My son was turning 5, I went to the hospital the day before his birthday. So I owe it to him. I'm trying to jump on this money train and start building generational wealth. When you guys were talking about your father's, I can relate. I'm glad I was able to see this, because no matter what I can't fail & I won't! That quote at the beginning of the video, was food for thought, thank you. Looking forward to more meetups. Much Love & success to you!

[@JLister-qj7ft]

It's a good movement you brothers are setting forward for others to accomplish.... A panel of Black, in touch, in tune, and intellectual men with facts and opinions that people can relate to, and also positively done, is a step towards the path or Black social media to follow. Well done and much appreciated ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@NehemiahDavis]

Thanks for commenting

[@JLister-qj7ft]

Very welcome..!!!!

[@DrDixon-oj6cz]

This one of the best interview conversations that I've even seen! Shot out to the guys! 🔥🔥🔥

[@thetruckingway]

This is Proof that any one can overcome their childhood. Sometimes you really do not understand the impact a father can make on a child life. I am thankful for my stepfather because my father didn’t want to be one.

[@chezelrogers1408]

All I want and need to say is thank you Jesus this was one of the most touching group sessions I have ever heard. God bless each of you and please don't stop what you are doing. It is NEEDED! Thank you guys we appreciate you all.

[@AMDATA7810]

Great job guys. This truly is a message alot a men of all ages, fathers and sons need to hear. Too much today messages influence our kids in such a negative way. No one wants to hear about our history or anything to do with God. Its all about me, i did it all on my own, just me attitude. So, i really appreciate you guys speaking on how you were there for each other in one situation or another. These days that's what's needed, and it seems that all feel no one is above the other, and you applaud and each other. "Pure Gold", 💯! God Bless You Guys! Wishing you all continued success in all your business ventures and personal relationships. Oh by the way Africa is beautiful, however they have some of the same issues we have here. Some are trying to hang on to what Africa was, but not doing the work to preserve it. Then there's the younger generation that wants to move on to a more modern world. Majority of enjoying China doing what they do, "Hey Africa we'll build your modern roads and bridges, we'll help you even if the west, aka the U. S., won't".

[@helenalomas967]

My husband and I grew up in homes where our father was absent. We grew up and the aches in our hearts from absent fathers carried over into our marriage until we got healed by our heavenly father who will is father to the fatherless. We also learned that we had to walk through forgiveness and honor and respect our earthly fathers regardless of the choices they made. Love covers a multitude of sins. God Bless you all for sharing your stories. Praying for all fathers.

[@rarediamondscdc4656]

What do I need to do to get my 22 year old son in the room with these men? Just wow! Due to unfortunate circumstances I went through the shelters , foster care, group homes etc. I did the best I could do with what I knew and what I had a 16 years old. He is a great young man, but I didn’t have this type of circle growing up . I don’t want him to miss out on this type of love, energy, respect, family etc. This is raw, rare and appreciated.

[@tatonyashields4805]

All this information was needed … and the great thing is it was aired before Father’s Day… Thank you guys , I’m sure it’s helped some ppl who needed to hear it ! Hopefully ppl share it with those who need to hear it

[@shawrondawest6272]

I like they way everyone of these men was able to express their raw true selves. Everyone of there situations was different with there fathers some good some not so good and they still didn’t bash they and was even forgiven of some of the choices they made they affected them. Keep rising kings we need more talks and pod cast like this for the younger and older generation to see to teach them how to express themselves, their pain and situations freely to gain a better understanding.

[@apriljacksonrealestate9299]

Wow! Powerful! Would really enjoy a syndicated talk show for them every day on the national network. Thank you are super inspirational.

[@ms.nichelle5665]

“Where you are isn’t who you are” Thank you guys for all that you do and share. Great example of there are no excuses as to why we are not where we aspire to be. UP! ☝🏽

[@emaster450]

Y'all need to be doing a podcast together for real! This episode was much needed at this point in my life as an entrepreneur! I appreciate you kings tremendously for being this vulnerable in this episode! So inspiring!!!

[@JacqulynSanders]

This is amazing! 5 black, successful men changing lives through telling their stories with a dad, without a dad, and outside influences. It's brought a whole new light on the effect of DNA in my everyday life. This is powerful! There are many people who don't go to church because they don't wanna be "preached" at. Using NBA references and personal life stories preaches and teaches, without "preachin". Happy Father's Day guys! I'm a teacher and I know this information is for everyone because it transcends generations!

[@stluciagolfguru1]

This is a wonderful session, I am a professional golf teacher and two years ago my son had a bad car accident in Baytown Texas, I was running my golf teaching program in the island of St Lucia doing very well for myself, and after I was informed of his accident I dropped everything and came to Texas to check on him and since then I could not think about making money because my son life is worth more than any amount of money that can be offered, I love my children and have a close relationship with them, so when I see father's neglecting their children it breaks my heart. Good program guys. Blessed love to you all.

[@funkebajomo1318]

As hard as it is, it is refreshing to see these young men who have come a long way from the pain of father issues, and they have all become successful in their own right. I am so happy for them and what they are doing. Please keep letting others know that they are not alone and can overcome obstacles in life. Well done.

[@NehemiahDavis]

We appreciate you for taking the time to rock with us.

[@kainell1]

Went from working every day struggling, raising 6 kids, finding the time to be there….. Started my own cleaning business and decided to take control of my life and my future. Always love to listen to others teaching instead of judging. Love this 💪🏾🤎

[@alanciahal6824]

Love how real y'all kept it on this show! A room full of greats showing humility and being vulnerable is by far needed for these days and times

[@jasminemarsh6842]

I watched as I’m like wow I can truly use $500 but as I’m watching until the end I’m like this is powerful. Being that I never had my father, it was so heartfelt to her you guys stories when that was brought up. Blessing to everyone and myself. Let’s see if I get picked on Sunday 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@sonyacarter7114]

This was one of the best conversations I have heard and seen in a long time. I want to hear more and I can watch this again and again. Love the transparency.

[@MsSaphon]

This video proves the opportunity is there for anyone, no matter the obstacles. I love seeing these young successful men show their strong and soft sides. Encouraging Black Excellence!

[@monicaford3954]

I love to hear our Black Kings express their thoughts and feelings about their dads, fathers and step fathers. It really a great moment in time.

[@newsumsum]

Love the jokes, the camaraderie, the comfortableness that only comes with time... Most of all love seeing men come together and have a safe space to have an intellectual conversation. Kuddos to yall

[@NehemiahDavis]

Thank you so much! That means a lot.

[@flw43]

This was a great session. It was heartwarming to see men show their vulnerability, and open up and allow transparency. I think everyone has a dad story. The men on this panel didn't allow a negative impact from their dad to stifle their growth, progress, or success. Loved it!

[@lillianlovejoy7934]

Wow it’s beautiful to know that these brothers are freely opening up about things. I’m hoping that they can spread this love to the younger generation too.

[@elneattrajohnson9645]

Love to see our Kings taking care of their family and their Business 😍🥰💙💙

[@erissjones11]

I’m glad I clicked on this! I love to see the positivity and vulnerability. Happy Father’s Day from this mom💙

[@jacklinejones-lester8855]

Its great when our men can come together to lift each other and challenge greatness. God bless you guys to continue to be positive examples for their communities.

[@patrickhoward819]

🔥I appreciate the transparency, this is one thing our father's & grandfather's didn't open up like this. They believed that having your full armor on meant showing no vulnerability, because this is a sign of weakness. Even super heroes have weakness and we all are real life people. Find you a circle (small) of trusted people that you can combine with, so you can be your true self (form like Voltron). It's about making moves that impact the future of many, continue to many moves my guys!

[@flgtv4275]

Ain't no limit with The Circle Of CEOs ⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕ loving the growth!

[@tarrahjo7326]

To hear kings speak on a variety of topics in such a distinct and precise manner and to speak freely in a relaxed and yet uplifting manner is the best thing I could watch and needs to be shared with everyone! Success leaves clues!

[@carolynsamuel1611]

Real men! Real talk!

[@cokimble70]

We need more of our Kings to tell it like it is! Loving the vibe!👑👑👑👑

Your current situation is not your final destination. Amen to that! I really enjoyed this. Great content fellas.

[@dorrendacurry2871]

I love the honesty and transparency. They need to do a podcast together.

[@JudyCunningham-gs2eo]

You can be successful no matter where you come from. I was mother and father to my son. I couldn’t teach him how to be a man so I kept good male role models in his life. He grew up with sports, dogs, church and cultural activities like playing the violin. I put in the time with my 3 children and I am so proud of the real man he has become. Now I see him being a great father to his own son, My heart is full!

So refreshing to hear such intelligent young men just vibe together. Thx for sharing!

[@leelees1319]

Thank you guys for this episode. I learned so much. "Where you are is not who you are." I needed to hear this, especially today. "We don't lose in business, we lose in planning a business." Thank you for inspiring and strengthening me to do what is in my heart to do. I deserve to make it! I will make it!

[@shedonburton1]

I appreciate that all of you kings take the time to sew into others! Even if you encourage, change the mindset, or motivate one person it’s all worth it. Y’all are dropping gems! You’re definitely appreciated!

[@C3hanna]

Needed this !!!! The gems they was giving this whole podcast plus they got personal with it was amazing man. S/O to the Circle of CEO’s !💪🏾💯💎

This is a great collaboration and i love the energy and the conversation was real!!!! And needed!!!❤❤❤❤

[@karenstover7964]

This was an amazing episode. I love to see men come together and have real discussions. The father discussion was dope. Him500 was dropping shade 😂😂😂😂😂 but I loved it. And yea ATL is the only place in the world that has so much to offer to all ages. I am in Texas now but I will always represent the A. ❤

[@josiehorn1388]

Thank you awesome men for proving to us that you don’t have to become a product of your environment.🙌🏽🔥💥

[@shelleystallworth6290]

Why am I just now finding Neo's podcast. I really enjoyed watching this. Now I have to go back and watch the others.

[@harryking9554]

This is awesome! Teaching young men to be business owners and be successful, but stay humble as you grow.

[@Ladiebgibbs]

This is a great conversation had by kings. I love the heartfelt conversation and transparency in dealing with dads. I seriously appreciate this airing before Father’s Day. I will say, I’m a Jordan fan and the Bulls from the 6-peat days were not to be messed with. But I have to agree with @Mr2weeksout that in comparison, Jordan did not do the same job as LeBron and the stats speak for themselves. I don’t even follow ball these days the way I did then but the numbers don’t lie. Jordan was a beast but LaBron is definitely beasting!

[@constanceharrison6483]

I have alway loved my dad. I was eight yrs old when I meet him. He passed away when I was 18teen. He was in the military. I was kind of mad at him because I never really got to know him and he never really tried to know me either we were father and daughter and I guess he thought that was good enough. While I was growing up, my mom told me that my dad had a dishonorable discharge from the Armed Forces after his passing and just most recently my child is now grown I just found out my dad had an honorable discharge, and that made me feel very proud of him after all this time, so this Father’s Day I honor my dad, Michael, Francis Harrison RIH dad I love you so much❤

[@Evolove16]

This was soooo good! My first time here & I’m glad that it wasn’t a business conversation. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 May God continue to bless you all.

[@JDaPrince08]

Got some heavy hitters on this one 💪

[@kandiceweaver3918]

This was an amazing video to watch...Happy Father's Day to all the Kings on this panel. I will definitely stay tuned into this channel. Proud to see black men able to sit down and express emotion without being feminine about it. This type of masculinity is needed so bad, brought ttears to my eyes fr. Love it.

Ohhhhhh when you step on the land of AFRICA!! Wow!! No words! Just a feeling of HIGHness at the highest level on a physical plane. Recommendation: Tanzania! Should be your first place. I have beautiful connects for amazing experiences, if interesting. Life Changing for sure!

this is a conversation amongst friends. i like this.

[@NehemiahDavis]

I’m glad you found this helpful.

[@TM-co6sv]

This was a great discussion. I can honestly say I haven't watched 1 episode of this podcast. I rarely know much about anyone on this show outside of him500 and I don't know too much about him,just come across him alot because of how he markets. But I must say I genuine enjoyed the entire conversation, so many great take aways from this. I am inspired, thank yall BLACK MEN for this,I needed this at this current moment in my life. Everyone on here definitely just gain a new supporter!

[@definitionofbeauty6861]

I applaud you guys, my son is 27 years old and his father was killed in 1996 when he was only 2 months old, my son has struggled mentally all because he always wanted a father figure a real male Roll model, he wanted a man to pour wisdom & knowledge into him, he wanted a bond with another man and I knew it for a very long time, he’s an adult now and he has isolated himself like he has a hard time trusting people especially other men now and I can’t blame him because you never know whose genuine and whose trying to set you up. I feel bad because he also has a chip on his shoulder because of it, Ive told him to get a therapist and he knows he should but haven’t yet. So idk what else to do for him other then pray because he has to seek out his own help at this point.

[@ModStyleCEO]

This episode is so appreciated! Thank you for the authenticity…You guys are it ❤❤❤❤❤

This is amazing! True, pure, and unconditional circle of son’s! Releasing their truth to import each other and those who will glean their lessons, and father-son experiences. I applaud all of you!

[@darcellwiggins7267]

This was a very eye opening video, to hear that each one of them made it despite the father's not being in their lives at an early age. I'm a father and have always been in my children's lives. My father died when I was 9 and now I'm 59 and it was a blessing to give them what I didn't have. Thank you brothers for your testimonies!

[@brenderbenson9286]

Thanks for sharing your experiences with your fathers. I appreciate the truth of the facts, emotions, clarity of the healing, and the ability to celebrate who you are as man. Truly an inspirational to others in building relationships.

[@NadiaoftheLightoftheDivine11]

First I didn’t want to really watch it but the more I listened the more I couldn’t stop ! This is transparent and HEALTHY we need this in the black community especially for males this is great Neo keep evolving with your guys 💕

[@yewandeisikalu5366]

I love to see our black kings become successful entrepreneurs in a system that was NOT designed for them to win.

[@aishiatodd4737]

I watched twice, thank you...we love hearing about business but this was much needed and appreciated ❤

[@sharonbrown6202]

You can’t separate personal self from business self, as they are interconnected. The conversation was necessary.

This was good, funny😂, informative 🤓, and good chemistry fellas

You can win no matter where you are is a powerful statement!
