  • Thoughtful perspective

    So much of what Q and Rames share may seem like common sense human reaction, but the show is filled with incisive and thoughtful perspective that is too often missing from today’s media.

  • BIASED NEWS

    Why listen to a “news” group who has an agenda going into EVERY story they intend on reporting? It’s predictable, pathetic, and low minded to try and change stories to target the vulnerabilities of certain audiences.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Part 2 - A Conversation with Dr. Willie Jolley on Building Wealth
Q: How do health, relationships, and reputation fit into wealth-building?
Health wealth, relationship wealth, and reputational wealth are described as essential components alongside financial wealth. The host emphasizes that money alone is not enough; maintaining health, nurturing supportive networks, and building a positive reputation are critical for sustaining and growing long-term wealth, as well as creating opportunities for influence and lasting impact.
Part 2 - A Conversation with Dr. Willie Jolley on Building Wealth
Q: What are the five money mindsets and how can someone progress from the lowest to the wealth mindset?
The five mindsets are explained as a progression from immediate, day-to-day living to longer horizons: move from a one-day mindset to a 30-day mindset, then to a one-year mindset, then to a decade-to-decade mindset, and finally to a generation-to-generation wealth mindset. The idea is to set incremental goals and use discipline to gradually elevate one's financial planning and lifestyle choices, with practical steps like improving credit, saving, and investing to enable next-step progress.
Part 2. A Conversation on Domestic Violence Against Black Women and Recent High-Profile Murders with Dr. Doreen Lettsome
Q: What can men do to identify signs and support prevention?
Men should assume responsibility to protect sisters and loved ones, cultivate self-governance, and practice a surrendered posture of service to reduce harm and prevent violence.
Part 2. A Conversation on Domestic Violence Against Black Women and Recent High-Profile Murders with Dr. Doreen Lettsome
Q: In your own domestic violence story, what was the turning point to leave?
The conversation reframes the question to ask why the abuser didn't act to protect and support his family; survivors aren't obligated to justify their decision to leave because they weren't there behind closed doors.
Part 1- A Conversation with Congressional Candidate Elizabeth Lee
Q: Have you taken money from any political action committees like AIPAC, and how do you approach criticism around your stance on Israel?
She states clearly she has not taken money from AIPAC and emphasizes the need to separate advocacy for civil rights from accusations of anti-Semitism, while remaining critical of certain Israeli policies.
