What Do I Do Now?
by Samuel Sirmons
This isn't just a podcast, it's an honest & open discussion centered around a single question, "What Do I Do Now?" From life changes in our personal lives to our career paths, we are going to be met with adversity, but how do we navigate through it? Through the various guests, I hope to bring more clarity on how we all can manage, maintain, even grow through difficult times.
Episodes

MBA ft. Sam Sirmons
I ain't gonna hold you, another unannounced hiatus. I had some streams steady coming over the last year, but even that came to a halt. The listeners deserve an explanation and this is a very abbreviated one, but also a glance inside my most recent decision. This fall, I'm headed back into a...

4 ft. Flau'Jae Johnson
Women's basketball has been leading sports headlines & shows across all brands ALL YEAR LONG. No doubt about it, the ladies are running things this year. We know all the names & on April 1st at 7 PM, we get the rematch that everyone has been waiting for. The #1 seed Iowa Hawkeyes meet the…

DESTINY ft. LeToya Luckett
It's been a LONG time coming back to the passion project, but I made sure that I came back with a great guest. I was able to talk with actress/recording artist/host LeToya Luckett on TWO separate occasions. First, we were both in New Orleans for the 2023 Essence Music Festival & Culture, a place...
-
GUBA ft. Lady Dentaa Amoteng
In 2023, we are seeing that there is an incredible backlog of passport applications from the United States. Between people’s passport expiring or applying for their first one, the wait time is between 10-13 weeks. Even if you want that passport expedited for an extra $60, the wait time still…

MEMORIES ft. Ambassador Andrew Young
The ability to speak with icons has been a privilege. And in this bonus episode, I had the distinct privilege to speak with civil rights icon & former Mayor of Atlanta, Ambassador Andrew Young. One area I've made intentional strides is to find an area of questioning that hasn't been asked. And I...
-
FAVOR ft. Jeffery Sirmons
If you didn't hear the UNDERSTANDING episode, you won't get the full scope of what FAVOR comes from. So, I suggest you listen to last week's episode first. But, for those that have, I continue the conversation with my father that is centered around the life we have shared together. In the…

UNDERSTANDING ft. Jeffery Sirmons
There's been a conversation that I've personally wanted to have since last season, but time isn't always on my side. But, I have become very intentional about the guests I have on the platform as well as the topics that are discussed. In this episode, I spend the afternoon with my father, Jeffery...
-
CULTIVATE ft. Jordan Bundy
This episode is one that was unplanned, but truthfully speaking, that's when my best episodes happen. I saw a tweet from someone incredibly dope and knew that it was an in for a conversation that needs a platform. Jordan Bundy is a black woman that cultivates from her farm in the countryside of...
-
LEGACY ft. Wanda Cooper-Jones
In the midst of everything that is going on, you need to find something to uplift and better ourselves as people. And this podcast has been that for myself & the listening audience all over the world. And in the middle of another black life that has been lost due to racism, a mother has carried…

ORIGIN ft. Sam Sirmons
It's nearly been 2 months since the last episode, the long breaks usually come with a life change or a lack of motivation. I am very proud to say that it was not the latter. January & February were one of the most busy I've ever been professionally. Being able to speak at my alma mater was truly…
more -
RECAP ft. Sam Sirmons
This episode is LONG overdue. The year that was 2022 was a whirlwind of events and career moments. And I know people have asked me about so many different events, I tried to put them all into one big episode to share the experiences with you. And of course, I've left room to follow up in specific...
-
PRIORITY ft. Dwayna A. Haley
With the new year finally here, I couldn't miss the opportunity to FINALLY release this episode! I enjoyed some time off, but rest assure that 2023 is bringing BIGGER and BETTER from the "What Do I Do Now?" brand. This episode reaches into my early memories in Atlanta with one of the most dynamic...
-
FROM.SCRATCH ft. Keith David
The podcast is growing and the interview originated from my radio background, but the conversation is more than podcast worthy. The Netflix original mini-series, "From Scratch" has already been very well received on the streaming platform, ranking in their Top 10 for weeks after it's released.…
more -
GROWTH ft. Dr. Jarrod Dortch
For the Thanksgiving holiday, I wanted to have a conversation that truly will feel like a family reunion. As stated in prior episodes, I am a proud Ball State University graduate. And on the journey when I found radio, I was able to meet an incredible individual, man, & friend in "Jim Flamez" but...
-
RELIEF ft. Miguel Cardona
Student loan forgiveness is a big deal to many people. But, not everyone has the same viewpoint of this program. As of Friday, November 11th, the program was halted again by a TX federal judge. There's plenty of headlines surrounding the program that was implemented by the Biden Administration....

#TheFollowUp ft. Coco Jones
She kicked off this season talking about her smash hit series, "Bel Air" that is available to stream on Peacock. Now, she's back with her music that has gotten a lot of attention. "What I Didn't Tell You" from Coco Jones is a 7 song EP that has already been atop of the Apple Music charts and...

COMMUNITY ft. Sam Sirmons
When I take these long breaks between episodes, understand I'm always going to come back with something special. And I've got PLENTY of material coming the next few Mondays! So, on this Halloween, I am just getting back in Atlanta from my second trip to Indiana in two weeks. This visit was to…
more -
MORTALITY ft. Sam Sirmons
I honestly wanted to drop this yesterday, but in the beginning of the episode, you'll quick see why I had to sit and marinate on this episode in particular. The premise of mortality is something I have an interesting relationship with. And it's a topic I'm sure I will be circling back to in the...
-
MANIFEST ft. Iyana Halley
It's the 3rd week in a row! I'm knocking out some heavy hitting interviews/conversations this season and this episode absolutely falls in line with the evolution that's occurring with the podcast. This one is centered around an actress that is truly on her way to the next level & her latest film...

R&B ft. Rob Milton
And, Mondays are the best days of the week again with another installment of the "What Do I Do Now?" podcast. This week's guest was through an "organic discovery" via Twitter, a phrase you'll hear in this episode. I mean, we even talked Beyonce's latest album, Renaissance. The guest I am speaking...

BEL-AIR ft. Coco Jones
We are back for a third season. THREE?! Over 50 episodes in? I would be lying if I said I knew this was coming, but I am grateful to be laboring for another season full of amazing guests with interviews that I hope that people listen to and hear themselves in. For this season's premiere episode…

ADAPT ft. Sam Sirmons

APOLOGY ft. Sam Sirmons
As I am getting ready to wrap up the second season of WDIDN, I went personal this episode. And I wanted to talk candidly about something I've had on my mind for awhile now, the art of the apology.

#NorthOfThe10 ft. Don Benjamin, Tosin Morohunfola, Wesley Armstrong, Terrance J, & Rhyan LaMarr
The days of going to the movies have changed. Not only due to the pandemic, but streaming platforms rule EVERYTHING around us. And there are a lot of creatives that are able to make their own lane in the entertainment industry due to streaming platforms becoming accessible for film makers from…

BHM ft. Trey Baker

BAKING ft. Ava-Leigh
I have never been more honored to do what I do than what I was able to accomplish last month. The fact is that there are children that like to be in the kitchen, then there are children that possess a gift in the kitchen. The Food Network has truly found a gem in Atlanta, GA by the name of...
-
SPECULATE ft. Sam Sirmons
I ain't think I was gonna be back bringing my mess to the platform, but this is exactly why I do it. In this situation I discuss, I had to ask myself, "What Do I Do Now?" Am I gonna let folks get harassed again? Am I going to acknowledge someone hiding behind a phone/tablet/keyboard? Well, I…
more -
VARIANT ft. Dr. Cameron Webb
Because this passion project came from the COVID-19 pandemic, I feel like it is my responsibility to keep the listeners across 37 states and 13 countries outside the U.S. up to date with not just numbers, but people that have the insight of the best access to this crisis as possible. With this...
-
#TheFollowUp w/ Tondaleya Carter
A first for this season, I circled back to an amazing guest for a recap in their episode. Today's episode features Tondaleya Carter, commercial realtor & my expert on everything that has to deal with housing. I had a scenario that came up and I wanted to get her insight. Make sure you lookout for...
-
JSU ft. Thomas K. Hudson
Today is a surprise episode and it couldn't be more timely. Following last week's episode with the President of Morehouse, I stayed in the HBCU category talking with another leader of an institution in Jackson, Mississippi. In the last week, tickets went on sale for the Celebration Bowl at…
more -
MOREHOUSE ft. Dr. David A. Thomas

WORK ft. Brad King

CONVERSATION ft. U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy

SYNDICATION ft. Incognito
The podcast is BACK and with a very special guest that I truly admire in the radio broadcasting industry. From the Reach Media night show mogul, I bring to you its latest syndicated star, Incognito. He's a radio veteran with nearly 2 decades of experience with a journey still being paved, but is...
-
REALTY ft. Tondaleya Carter
This is an episode that I was excited to record because it's an area I know next to nothing about, realty. It's not a typo, that's the business of being a realtor. Home ownership and even business ownership is preached heavily, but what does it all mean? I'm grateful that this episode's guest,...
-
VACCINATION ft. Dr. Bechara Choucair

-
ANNIVERSARY ft. Gump
I can't believe it's been one year since I started this passion project. And when I set out with this project, I didn't know if anyone would listen. You have the hope that it resonates, but to have taken this to as many places as its reached, I'm still in awe, but still as hungry as I was a year...
-
PREMIERE ft. Nick Cannon
This is a special episode because it will be 1 day shy of the first year of me starting this journey. September 21st, 2020 was my introduction with this platform. I didn't imagine it turning into what it has, in it's second season that has global appeal. And as I turn the page into the next year…

COUNSELING ft. Kaylyn Gyden
After the HIATUS episode, getting ready to approach the midway mark of the season, & personal revelation of my personal journey with seeking professional help, I went "back to the well" to continue a talk about mental health.

-
HIATUS ft. Sam Sirmons
Another unscheduled break deserves to be explained, right? I want to first apologize for my delay in episodes, but in this episode, I don't need to ask questions. I'm going to answer them. What happened this month in particular? I genuinely hope I'm understood. And if I'm not, that's ok. But, I...

IMPROVEMENT ft. Jarrett Milton

PARENTHOOD ft. Zeb Bartolome
Before recording this episode, I had not realized that my guest hadn't talked to any media outlet for any interview regarding the subject matter. This will be the first time publicly that it’s being discussed and I let my guest share their story as they feel comfortable. Zeb Bartolome is the…

PREGNANCY ft. Morgan Brown

ENTREPRENEURSHIP ft. Ty Gray
Starting a new month on the podcast & this episode is one that will leave you possibly reaching out to the guest for a job. Literally.

ENGAGEMENT ft. Stephanie Pigues
