“WHEN IT HURTS SO BAD”
I have lost deals, sleep, time, and money working through life while also learning to enhance my CEO mindset. It has hurt a lot, but it has also felt good. I got to step into different environments, learn from experienced business owners, learn from ignoring my intuition, and really have those hard talks with myself. I also let go of projects, procrastinated on content/collabs, got sidetracked with too many projects, and ran from you all out of fear of failure/letting people down. But here’s what I also did…
PRESS PLAY!
It is a heartfelt moment in a layered conversation that left me silent, pensive, and emotional. Black men aren’t asked often enough, to talk about how they feel; it shows when they are given space to be expressive.

Press Play is an intimate, honest, and enjoyable conversation on love, life, and business.
Jamals plans for 2023 include performing nationwide, engaging in performance arts, and saying what he means.
