Who we are
The show aboutbeing raised different
Raised Different started as a conversation on a stoop and turned into a microphone, a movement and a community. Every week we sit down with people whose upbringing shaped them in ways the world never sees — parents, founders, coaches, artists, and the folks who never got a platform before now.
We came up the same way a lot of people did. We just refuse to stay quiet about what it cost, what it taught us, and what we're doing differently now.
Real over polished
No script, no PR answers. The conversation goes where it needs to go.
Roots stay in the room
Where you came from is context, not a limit. We talk about both.
Purpose is the point
Every episode ends with something you can actually use on Monday.
Your host
The voice behind the table
I grew up between two worlds — the one that raised me and the one I had to learn on my own. Nobody handed me a manual for money, faith, love, or fatherhood. I figured it out the loud way, and I got tired of pretending that story was rare.
Raised Different is the conversation I wish somebody had let me sit in on. I bring people to the table who lived something real, ask the questions nobody asks on camera, and let the answers breathe. No studio walls, no script — just a mic, a chair, and the truth.
Same roots. Different world.
