Found this from his Instagram page. I really like his thought process and how matter-of-fact he is without him being a “bro-vet.” He talks about things like he’s a good friend of yours who wants you to succeed. Also, I’m a therapist and what he’s saying is good and will help you in your thought process to help you.
Nah you did your big one with the latest episode recharge on purpose 😮💨 keep being great and applying all the PRESSURE👏🏼
I’ll say it with him, this podcast deserves to grow as much as we do. In tuning into this podcast from time to time, I can say, we pay attention to what we want to in life…but…there’s something about a good dude, spreading good vibes and good humor and that people, is extraordinary! 10/10 recommend and keep doing good Mr. Thigpen!
As a Marine, everytime I hear anything from this podcast I either relate to it and wholeheartedly agree, or I feel called out 😂 which is good, because then I can reflect. There’s never not a moment I’m not leaving with something. Whether it be a laugh or some knowledge! 10/10 recommend! Keep Talkin’ Crazy!
I’m so proud of you! I’ve been listening since 2022 ish and excited to see what is in store for you in this new journey. I love the realness, your passion for helping others, and your honesty and outstanding dedication to growing and helping others succeed. Motivating me through Law school.
