In this world we live in everyone has a value. Some people place value on their career, items, experiences but not the same value on family. In this podcast, I ask my guests the million-dollar question "Is Your Price Tag Too High?"
The responses are very interesting.
So listen in as my guests (Eric, Mika, Boz, Kim, and LaTonia) share their views on relationships, a value of a person, and do modern women know how the value of a traditional man?

We would love to hear your feedback on any episode.
Most of us have been in love at some point in time in our lives, but did we really know what love was at that time. Also, did we appreciate it? Well maybe some of us have to experience HURT in order to appreciate LOVE.
Yea, I know it sounds crazy, but yet so real...I speak from experience.
So listen in with Bazz, Ricardi and Shawn as they talk through how to appreciate love when experience is the best teacher.
Another great show!

Audible of Life
Men Speaking Out
02/06/22 • 52 min
What is an Audible? An audible is when a change is made from the original plan. In life, we should have the ability to adapt or change a plan on the fly if needed.
For you football fans out there – when a QB comes to the line of scrimmage to run a play, he looks at the defensive and may or may not call an audible if he needs to change the play. This gives the QB a chance to be successful and either set his team up for another series of downs or a touchdown.
Audibles can be called with family, friends, careers, and even relationships. Nevertheless, we do this all the time with life...but the questions are:
When and how often?
So listen in with BJ, Big E, John, JD and myself (Bazz) as we talk through some of the audibles we've made in our lifetime and their impacts. Watch it on YouTube here.

Iceberg Success
Men Speaking Out
01/24/22 • 44 min
In this podcast, I am joined with my dear friend Tanisha Harris as we discuss the subject "Iceberg Success".
Well simply put...the “Iceberg Theory of Success” helps us to realize that every famous or extraordinary successful person had to invest a lot of effort and work until this person achieved his/her goals.
We only see the top layer or the final result. But it takes much more than just showing up or using your words in order to be successful. In order to be successful, it takes hard work, sacrifice, good habits, failure, persistence, being goal-oriented, focus, and risk. And even if this formula doesn’t pan out as perfectly planned, it is your job to get up and keep trying.
The original quote that sums it up by Jeffrey Fry is “Success is like an iceberg. Nobody sees the work that comprises it.”
Another great discussion - I even learned a few things. Also, you can watch it on YouTube.

Relationships, a Luxury or Necessity?
Men Speaking Out
01/02/22 • 52 min
Let’s Talk about Relationships. This has a significant impact on American culture. Relationships drive a billion-dollar retail industry (holidays, birthdays – and the big one Valentine’s Day).
But are relationships a necessity or a Luxury? Well, listen as JD, VirgoBlu, Big E, and myself (Bazz) discuss the differences between each two.
We talk about the necessities in a relationship such as:
- Intimacy
- Romance
- Friendship – The MOST important
- Transparency
- Being Fully Present
We also discuss luxuries which include:
- Time
- Money
- Resources
- Rest / Peace of Mind
Lastly, we cover "the fine print" of relationships...something we never look for when we get involved with someone.

Marry Before You Carry
Men Speaking Out

Listen in as Joe Dilla (JD) and myself (Bazz) - speak on the subject of "Marry Before You Carry"
The data doesn't lie...
Over the last few decades, marriage has been a declining institution among all Americans and this decline is even more evident in the Black community. In 2019 only 30% of African Americans were married compared to 48% of all Americans. Half or 50% of African Americans have never been married compared to 34% of all Americans.
https://blackdemographics.com/households/marriage-in-black-america/
Currently, 74% of black women are having babies out of wedlock.
https://singlemotherguide.com/single-mother-statistics/
In 2020, there were about 4.25 million Black families in the United States with a single mother. This is an increase from 1990 levels when there were about 3.4 million Black families with a single mother.

WE REALLY NEED TO FIGURE THIS OUT!

Honoring Our Dad "John A. Shabazz"
Men Speaking Out
09/30/21 • 44 min
Shortly after my mom passed on Oct 30, 2019, I lost my dad almost exactly 8 months later on July 29, 2020. He is missed and loved by many! My father was an honorable man of principle and he created a legacy for our family by changing our last name from Wallace to Shabazz. He was a husband, father, brother, son, cousin, uncle, and friend. He also was a minister with the Nation of Islam and a proud army veteran.
I invite you to listen in on this podcast as we capture some of the memorable times growing up with him and some of the life lessons we still carry today. Lastly, we recorded this podcast on this birthday (September 23, 2021). He would have been 85 years old at this time. So in closing We love and miss you dad - please listen from heaven as your sons (Dawud, Nasir, and myself) give you honor with this podcast.
Al Salamu Alaykum Brother John 59X.

We would love to hear your feedback on any episode.
Well we cap off 2023 with our 70th episode and it is a milestone for Men Speakiing Out!
Joined by Drake, JaVon, Ricardi and Shawn - we discuss "Are We Sprinters". Meaning, do we run away from our challenges or should we take them head on and be ready for the road blocks, failures or even negative effects from them. Nevertheless, we have to keep trying and new stop - because if we do stop, that's a failure in itself.

The Real Truth Behind Your SMV
Men Speaking Out
09/22/21 • 59 min
The Real Truth Behind Your SMV (Sexual Market Place Value).
When you go to an auto dealer to purchase a car – what are some of the features you look for when researching? Most people look for the Year, make, model, mileage, performance, comfort, features, maintenance frequency, etc. You have the sales price, then you have the bluebook value.
Well...we do the same thing when it comes to people. We all have an SMV, but most of us don't understand what that really is. So I employ you to listen in on this podcast with Mika and Bazz and learn something. Maybe your value isn't what you think it is.
SMV Questions for the listeners:
- How do women view attraction to a man? Youth/Status/Resources/Stability
- How do men view attraction on a woman? Looks/Youth/Womb
Now that's real! Lastly, we reference an SMV chart on this podcast which is located here.
