Connect The Dots Series: Episode 2: “Gatekeepers vs. Bridge Builders”

Connect The Dots Series: Episode 2: "Gatekeepers vs. Bridge Builders"

Mr. Al Pete

Round 2 for the Neighbors and Groovers. In this episode, we're focusing on the gatekeepers and bridge builders. 

For me, I have moments where I don't want to admit that someone is simply gatekeeping a situation, a connection, and a new relationship forming. In this moment, we have to call the spade out. On the flip though, there are people who make sure the connections happen...and I want to make sure to point out what they ideally look like. It's easy to spot the bad (the gatekeeper) and miss the values of the good (the bridge builders). Let this be the reminder. 

See you on the final episode of this series. I hope you all are enjoying and learning from this. #TOTHETOP

Connect The Dots Series: Episode 1: “You Had the Dot… Now What?”

Connect The Dots Series: Episode 1: “You Had the Dot...Now What?"

Mr. Al Pete

Peace, Neighbors and Groovers. I'm here to present a special series of Clear Visions. If you've been following for a minute, you remember that I explained how I use this platform to experiment, create freely, and to inform the people of my thoughts and/or lessons I've come across.

This series is informative, and in my opinion, a simply conversation. A conversation that I felt needed to happen, so why not put it in a podcast format? *shrugs*

This three-episode series is about connecting the dots. It's an observation of how people have the proper situation to connect two resources, but for whatever reasons, it doesn't work. Now, on a good-bad day, I'll say that people be gatekeeping and hating, but on a reflective day, my first thought would be that people aren't aware of HOW to facilitate a connection. 

Enjoy the series. I hope this helps someone in their journeys. I more so hope that it helps that person that drops the ball when making said connection. 

Prayerfully, I'll have the other narrative shows done to present to you all...soon. #TOTHETOP

2025 Good and Bad Talk

2025 Good and Bad Talk

Mr. Al Pete

Happy Holidays and such. 2026 is near (or here) and I'm giving my good points of my professional moves, as well as the bad points. It's a few things I have to praise, as well as get off my chest, so before midnight hits for 2026, I'm sharing.

Thank you to anyone who has subscribed, supported, and enjoyed the content in 2025. More to come (I promise).

Happy New Year and see you on the other side. #TOTHETOP

NABJ Coverage and Being of Service

NABJ Coverage and Being of Service

Mr. Al Pete

It's been a week, Neighbors. Work through me, Lord. Thank goodness that I'm around a group of people that love the same thing I love: media and the communication field. It's been helping.

In this episode, I give a rundown of what has occurred at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) 50th convention. I was there reppin' the Northeast chapter, as well as the NABJ Entrepreneurship Task Force. I had the opportunity to speak, moderate, conduct a meeting (all with the help of Shernay Williams, chair of the Task Force and our mentor, Brett Chambers).

**a moment happened after this recording and it was excellent. I'll speak on it on the next go 'round**

I also speak about how the city of Cleveland was welcoming to the organization hosting their convention there. They're screaming for more and I'm with giving it to the people! With that, most folks wasn't aware of NABJ's existence, so I spend time speaking about the importance of Black media. Last moves was spent on being a service to the underserved. It was a discussion that was touched on during a session. This thinking is important when creating a brand and it's a great way of living.

This show is dedicated to my stepfather Griffin Young, Jr. I dislike 'step' in this case because he taught me everything. Rest in Power and you're truly missed. Enjoy, everyone.
