You don’t pivot once — you pivot in chapters.

In this off-site episode, we bring together hustlers from three very different worlds — architecture, film, and interior design — to unpack the moments that reroute your path, sharpen your discipline, and remind you why ordinary was never enough.

We talked…

• The turning point life pushed on them

• The grind behind mastering craft

• What keeps them moving when it gets heavy

• And why community matters more when the path gets messy

No fluff. No timelines. Just real talk about growth from people putting in the work every day.

This week, I had to pivot — fast. The Hive pop-up didn’t give me enough long-form conversation, so I tapped into the energy right where I was and sat down with someone who lives and breathes rhythm, grind, and purpose.

Meet Aldarian Mayes — drummer, producer, and touring musician behind some of Houston’s most iconic live performances. From gigging with local bands to hitting stages with artists like Tobe Nwigwe, Aldarian talks about the real moments that shaped his path… the sacrifices, the pivots, and the motivation that keeps him showing up every day.

We dug into:

• What actually pushes you to keep going

• The moments that force you to shift, grow, or break

• Life as a musician behind the scenes

• The discipline needed to create longevity in any craft

• How to stay grounded when life pulls you in every direction

If you’ve ever felt like you were moving on fumes, or needed a sign to keep going — especially if the calling was your passion - then this is it.

This is the conversation about the hustle that moves you, even when life shifts the beat.

This week, I sat down with HTX comedian [insert his name] for one of my most unfiltered episodes yet.

We talked consistency, real-life progress, slipping off track, getting back on it, and the parts of the hustle people don’t admit out loud.

It’s funny.

It’s chaotic.

It’s honest.

And it’s exactly the reminder that sometimes laughter really is the reset.

New episodes every Tuesday.

Respect my Hustle.

Teaching isn’t just a job — it’s a full-time grind that demands patience, passion, and pure hustle.

The hustle will eat you alive if you try to do it solo. In this episode, I chop it up with my brother Dwayne — friend, coach, and a hustler in his own right — about the burnout, friendship, and why support systems are the real secret weapon behind every grind. No More Hustle Alone❗️

We get into authenticity, showing up for each other, and the moments when community is the only thing that keeps the hustle alive.

💬 Who’s YOUR support system when the grind or betta yet when LIFE feels too heavy?

The hustle isn’t just about wins — it’s about what you do when life hits the hardest. After losing my mom this year, I had to pivot not only in business but in life. This episode is about that shift — the pain, the lessons, and how I’m turning it into fuel.

But this isn’t just my story. It’s about us. The everyday hustlers who push through setbacks, adapt, and keep moving forward.
