It all began with a WIDE idea fueled by #HEATEDCONVERSATIONS WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS THAT NEVER LEFT THE PORCH. VERY FIRST PODCAST SHOW WAS IN THE LIVING ROOM WITH AMAZON EQUIPMENT AND VERY LITTLE SUPPORT. Grndszn started taking podcasting seriously after being injured at work by falling off the porch. Immediately after that Grndszn healed enough to attend the BLACK EFFECT PODCAST FESTIVAL in APRIL 2024, and made ways to Philadelphia, PA to meet Co-host Illz Willz, which led to community gatherings and youth builds of all sorts of arts and spoken mic events, and internship. As a PHILLY PODCAST SPACE INTERN (SUMMER OF 24), the focus was more on technical set-ups and professional recording settings. Seeing the passion GROW into a SAFE SPACE and allow others the chance to share their overcoming stories is becoming a very glorious kind of experience. We focus the series on physical, spiritual, and mental growth so that we are aligned to do good work for ourselves, the community and the youth development aspect. ONE BIG GOAL IS TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK UP AND USE OUR VOICES FOR GOOD MEASURES, OTHER THAN JUST FOR OURSELVES.
