Episodes

  1. Just How Culturally Inappropriate is It?

    I'm officially between seasons and working on my next one which makes me dropping this episode mean that much more. In addition, I recorded it with two of my closest friends, Vince and Laphelle, so you know the conversation is going to be great. On this episode of Narr.O.W., we give our takes on...

  2. This is Not a Drill

    We have to go back to moving in silence. Plain and simple. Don't plan your revolution on their platforms or where their eyes can see. Featured Spirit: Uncle Nearest 1856 The Narratives Over Wine & Whiskey Podcast is a subsidiary of Daniels Development & Branding, LLC This episode was produced,...

  3. Where I'm At Mentally

    Just a good vibe episode. Nothing more. Nothing less. Oh, and I shoutout some dope Black-owned businesses. Featured Spirit: Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel The Narratives Over Wine & Whiskey Podcast is a subsidiary of Daniels Development & Branding, LLC This episode was produced, recorded and...

  4. November 6

    Today, we were made aware that Trump won and it feels like the prequel of Handmaid's Tale. Here are my immediate thoughts on the results. Featured Spirit: Macallan's Triple Cask Matured 12 Year Single Malt (Scotch whisky) The Narratives Over Wine & Whiskey Podcast is a subsidiary of Daniels...

  5. Is It Serving You?

    Wrapping up our time in Playa Del Carmen and I've realized that I'm in a season of concentrated improvement. In this episode, I lean heavily on a philosophy that I gleaned from my good friend Greg E. Hill: "Get 0.1% better every day." And, to do that, you have to get rid of things that aren't...

  6. Desirée Did It (My Job Lost Me)

    I recorded this episode in 2023. I believe it was June or July. We were in Bermuda for the second time. And this episode is all about how my wife is a boss in her own right. I intended to release it last year but season 5 was a bit weaker than I'd hoped it would be so, here you are, listening to…

  7. USA Politics is the New WWF

    I recorded this episode on the current state of America's politics a day before Joe Biden decided to drop out of the race but there were enough relevant points made about the three branches that I couldn't justify chopping the episode (and Biden only took up a fraction of the discussion). More…

  8. Live From the (New) Patio

    Over the next few months, the Daniels family is living in Playa Del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico. At least half of Season Six's episodes will be recorded here and, in this introductory episode, I'm touching the surface on why we felt like we had to "get out" literally. Looking forward to you...

  9. Blame Game

    A lot of my single friends are going through hell dating right now and, while I haven't been single in over a decade, I decided to take the time on this episode to talk about what I see as an outsider looking in. While a lot of this is applicable to a lot of 30-somethings, I'm specifically…

    more
  10. An 8-Year-Old Was Murdered

    How do we continue letting people, especially those under the legal voting age, get killed by these inanimate objects that are weilded by untable people? I didn't edit this episode at all. This is raw. Because America has grown so calloused to children dying due to firearms that I felt like…

    more
  11. Survivor's Remorse

    No spoiler alerts but seeing Creed III reminded me that, for many Black men across America, survivor's remorse is a triggering norm. This episode focuses on the fact that those of us who consider ourselves to have attained a level of success cannot fail because of the people who positioned...

  12. Done Watching Them Murder Us

    I'm sick of them killing us and then the media turning around to show the footage as if it is a Micheal Jordan highlight reel that was created to be played on repeat. Black children, women, and men should not have to prove their humanity to not be killed, especially by those who are sworn to...

  13. Challenges at Christmas

    Christmas is right around the corner and, what is, for many, the most wonderful time of the year, is a reminder for many others of those who will not be around the tree with them this year. And, for others, it is a season of stress where we try to be the parents, spouses, and loved ones we aspire...

  14. The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

    As I jump back into podcasting after an unusually long hiatus, I'm in the best space I've been in in a long while. The peace, joy, and relief I felt as I was recording this episode was nothing short of divine. Season 5 is here and I hope you all are ready for some dope episodes, both individual…

  15. 3 Months, 2 Trips, 1 City

    I ended up in my favorite city in the world twice over the past 3 months. As a matter of fact, this past weekend puts NYC as my most visited spot since COVID began (seconded by Charleston). I had a great time last weekend, checking out the new Jean-Michel Basquiat exhibit, an awesome Jazz at...

  16. Sipping with Soul

    You all know me for great whiskey suggestions and a good wine every now and then. It's only recently that I've tried to venture into cocktails (sometimes successfully, other times, I've failed horribly). But today's guest, Alexandria Poole, creator of The Crafted Soul, is a truly gifted cocktail...

  17. Centered on Impact

    On this episode, I had the chance to chop it up with "Canadian by birth, American by choice" Justin Minott. We talked about everything from his passion for coffee to why he chose Durham has his home and, most importantly, what it means to have an impact-centered business, and how that business…

  18. Sleeping While Black

    A week ago, in a twisted combination between the murders of Philando Castile and Breonna Taylor, Amir Locke was executed where he slept. As a law abiding citizen who had not committed a crime and, thus believed he was in no position to have a warrant executed on his place or his person, he…

    more
  19. Exhausted

    Dads are expected to work hard and sacrifice for our familes. And we do it willingly and happily because that is the way we are socialized. But, the day I recorded this episode, I was so drained. And, when I came home from a long day at the office, I expected to see him smiling but he was in bed...

  20. The Infinity Bourbon Bottle

    Sorry I ghosted y'all last season. It wasn't my goal. I just had a lot going on with this now 9-month-old child who lives in my house and takes all my energy. But, anyway, today's episode is about whisk(e)y. I go into some of my favorite whiskies and I talk about my new infinity bottle. Thanks…

    more
  21. Next Stop: Liberation Station

    Over the past year and a half, America has been dealing with an internal reckoning. It has been pushed to headlines across the country that centuries of inequities have been endured by People of Color and, specifically by Black people within the United States of America. From violence at the…

  22. Yonda is Here!

    On this episode, I had the pleasure of kicking it with my longtime friend, fellow Spartan, and all around good Black man, Quay Weston. We discussed everything from his hometown of Pantego, NC to the fact that, in the words of the legendary Gil Scott-Heron, Whitey is on the moon. But, most...

  23. From the Outside Looking In

    On this episode, Laphelle Taylor, who is now my most regular guest, and I chop it up about everything from poltiics to race to religion and how these things affect the plight of Black folks in America. As business owners, we both know how much of a hand the government has in our successes and the...

  24. I'm Not Cocky, I'm Confident...

    ...so when you tell me I'm the best it's a compliment. This week, I had the opportunity to see two of my favorite groups, Dipset vs. The LOX in a historic moment in hip-hop... And I did it from the front row. Find out how I spent the entire show in a $1,056 seat but only paid $45 to get in the...

  25. Active Black Dads Aren't Unicorns... We're the Norm!

    Check out this special Father's Day edition of the Narr.O.W. Podcast where I decided to recount some of my thoughts during my first 74 days of fatherhood. It's been fun but it has also had its challenges. Still, I wouldn't trade these moments for the world. The Narratives Over Wine & Whiskey...

  26. From Southeast to Hollywood

    On this episode, I had the chance to chop it up with one of my closest friends, Kwame Carrol-Bey, who also happens to be my fraternity brother and prophyte. Kwame takes this opportunity to tell of his journey and how he got from Southeast to the Hollywood... Ok, not really Hollywood but he is...

  27. Brady Moore and The Fourth Kinetic: Clairvoyants

    This week, I had the chance to chop it up with my favorite new nonfiction author, Brady Moore, who also happens to be my line brother and close friend. Earlier this month, he released his third novel, The Fourth Kinetic: Clairvoyants. It is the first of a trilogy and, in our conversation, we chat...

  28. Palestinian Lives Matter

    In the wake of the loss of what was 26 lives lost at the time of this recording (now numbering over 30 with at least 10 being children), I had to address the facts that children should not be dying at the hands of any nation-state, America should not be giving over $3B per year to Israel,...

  29. Poor People, Unite!

    Too often, poor people fight amongst one another based on simple issues such as race and religion as opposed to uniting to fight the powers that be. There is strength in numbers. Until we realize this, we will always lose to those with the dollars. It is our responsibility to come together and...

  30. Quick Derby Day Teaser

    Today is the Kentucky Derby (which should also be called Mint Juelp Day) and I decided to record a quick teaser since it's the first day of the month that Season 3 drops. I hope this gives you a sense of what you can expect from the Narratives Over Wine & Whiskey Podcast for the next few months....

  31. She Thought It Was a... Taser?

    I didn't want to start Season 3 until May because I knew that I'd need to get ahead on some pieces now that I have two pretty new responsibilities, one being the public launch of Daniels Development & Branding, LLC (the company that owns this podcast) and the birth of our son. But I had to do…

  32. Level 3 Loading

    No real topic on this episode. Season 3 begins in May. Catch y'all in a couple months! @NarrOWPodcast The Narratives Over Wine & Whiskey Podcast is a subsidiary of Daniels Development & Branding, LLC, here for all your fundraising and storytelling needs.

  33. Chatting with Meaghan Langston

    On this episode, I have entrepreneur and personal coach Meaghan Langston of Durham, NC on the podcast to talk a few things coaching and many things related to foster care. She and her husband have fostered 3 children over the past few years and, while this has been one of the most rewarding...

  34. Minimum Standard of Living

    Minimum wage means nothing when there is not a minimum standard of living. Everyone across the globe, but specifically in the USA, needs housing, health care and food security.

  35. LinkedIn ≠ Instagram

    Would you attach it to your résumé? Then ask yourself if you should post it on LinkedIn?

  36. Divorcing Profits from Prison

    Last week, Pres. Joseph Biden took the necessary steps to end federal prison contracts with privately-owned prisons. This is step one in removing incentives to keep Black people locked up. We cannot tie people's livelihoods to oppressing other individual and think that they won't try to find any...

  37. Divesting from Celebrity in Our Political System

    This episode was inspired by a series of tweets from Dr. Alex Hamilton that I happened to come across when an Instagram account I follow reposted it. We really have to make an honest effort not to let the celebrity status of politicians (or the baseless views of celebrities) impact our ability to...

  38. Who Am I?

    In this, one of my lengthier solo episodes, I try to paint a fairly brief picture of who I am. I go into my family, my upbringing, my education, my socioeconomic status, and my current personal and professional life. It is hard for me to speak of narratives without giving you all some insight…

  39. The Original Black Lives Matter

    "The original 'black lives matter' was that the slaves' lives mattered." -- Judge James Wynn, Jr. I tweeted this quote from Berean Baptist Church of Raleigh's 2015 Abolition Day ceremony and I just came across it again. It was very timely, as we see how, a week ago tomorrow, scores of (mostly)...

  40. 2021 is Here!

    Getting my goals together with my vision board and my new daily planner. Starting the year in an organized fashion is one of the keys to my percieved success. What are yours? Drop a New Year's organization suggestion on my Instagram image with my 2021 vision board. Moleskin Day Planner from Target

  41. All Emotion, pt. 2 - A Game of Inches

    A couple weeks ago, I released an episode called "All Emotion," discussing the shooting of a close friend of mine who also happens to be a law enforcement officer. Today, I had the opportunity to sit down with him and talk about life in general, as well as his experience and how we, as a…

  42. What Stepping Up as a Man Means: From Suit & Tie to Carhartt

    This is it! This week makes 1 full year of Narratives Over Wine & Whiskey Podcast and I had to drop an interview with one of my closest friends to commemorate it. In this episode, I chop it up with Cory Bennett, my friend of over 10 years about life, fatherhood, relationships, college lessons we...

  43. All Emotion

    Thanks to my wife, I let this episode breathe. I wanted to release it immediately. It is all emotion. My voice cracks. While you can't see them, tears fell. One of the men I look up to and have grown up with was shot. He could've lost his life. And he's one of the good ones. Listen to this and…

    more
  44. Misplaced Limits

    How often do we say something cannot be done because we haven't seen it before? In this day and age, we should believe any and everything can happen. We have the imagination and vision for whatever. Let's stop limiting ourselves only because we've only dreamt something. That should make us work...

  45. Your Kids Aren't a Retirement Plan

    This past weekend, I had the privilege of interviewing longtime friend, mentor, and confidant George Acheampong, Co-Founder of Capitalwize, LLC and Founder of Melanin Money. On this episode, we discuss building Black wealth, being a springboard for your children as they mature, the privilege of...

  46. It's Time To Bluff

    Disclaimer: I am not saying don't vote. I am not saying which party to support. What I am saying is that it's time to make the Democrats uncertain that we're going to support them without some solid promises. I don't know about you but I'm tired of Black people's votes being taken for granted....

  47. The Return of the Sundown Town

    Today is Election Day 2020 and you would think it was Election Day 1920 due to the threats that have been made by terrorists who operate in the name of White Nationalism. Back in the day, Sundown Towns were communities where non-White people could not move safely after dark. Today, it feels as if...

  48. What Kind of Conservative Are You?

    Are you a 2A conservative, a evangelical conservative, a fiscal conservative, or a racist/discriminatory conservative? Those are the options. Pick one. And know that all of them make room for the discriminatory type to thrive.

  49. Living the Curated Lifestyle

    I recorded this episode on curated lifestyles while I was an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean (how ironic, right?). I loved being here but it's not real life. Check out this short episode and leave a comment to let me know how you feel about American culture's apparent need to impress...

  50. 2A: African-American

    In 2020, Black people have accounted for 52.8% of new gun purchases. In this episode, I unpack reasons why it makes sense for Black gun ownership to increase in the United States, especially at this point in time. I'm not saying that Black people should be the aggressors but we should always be...
