It's important to appreciate the small things and celebrate small victories, as DJ Sir Daniel emphasized in this week's episode, such as conquering a fear of asking for something.
In our latest episode, we discussed a range of topics, from the career of Pharrell Williams, the JB's Record Lounge fundraiser and the importance of supporting black-owned businesses.
“Singing Pharrell is one of my favorite things to hear on a record. I love a singing Pharrell on a hook. It's fun to me.”

“Spinning Gold is a 2023 American biographical drama film written and directed by Timothy Scott Bogart. It is based on the life of his father, Casablanca Records founder Neil Bogart.” (Wikipedia)
DJ Sir Daniel caught us up on “The Boy Who Kissed The Sky.” The play, which DJ Sir Daniel described as stunning centers around a young Black boy’s ability to imagine and become what he wants to be.
