play

Caron Butler is a retired two-time NBA All-Star having played for some of the biggest franchises in the NBA such as the Lakers, The Heat, The Pistons and more. He was a pivotal player in the game, playing along side greats like Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neil. Today he's the assistant coach for the team that first drafted him, The Miami Heat, and his story is one of pure inspiration.

He joins Cari to discuss how he almost became a statistic, like many young black kids having been exposed to trauma at an early age. He was a drug dealer at age 12 and a new father at age 13. He was arrested 15 times before the age of 15. However, he turned it around and made a decision not to end up like so many friends who died at an early age. Caron’s 14 year career is one of exemplary performance, hard work and dedication. This Brownprint is filled with Caron's personal principles of success – determination, dedication, and discipline that took him to the top.

Glennon Doyle is a NY Times Best Selling author, activist and thought leader. Her incredibly raw and honest writings speak to millions about listening to their own voice—the voice that has been silenced by decades of cultural conditioning and institutional allegiances.

Glennon tells Cari that we've all been conditioned to be something. And in that conditioning, we've lost the ability to hear our inner voice—out of fear, we ignore it and chase a happiness that the world told us we must find. She also opens up about her struggles with mental health and addiction. In finding sobriety, she also found the courage to embrace her flaws and realize that the point of life is not to just feel happy, but to feel everything. Glennon pushes her readers to build a life of their own based on individual desire, intuition and imagination. This conversation is one you won’t forget and you will want to hear, if for no other reason than to reclaim your true, untamed self.

The Brownprint - Chris Long Is Building A Legacy Off The Field

12/23/20 • 49 min

Chris Long is a two time Super Bowl Champion. He won a Super Bowl with the New England Patriots (One of the greatest comebacks in Super Bowl history), and then again with the Philadelphia Eagles. Chris comes from football royalty with a father and brother who have impressive records themselves. Most people would call that legacy, but Chris' real legacy lives off the field. Even though he is a two time Super Bowl champion and the son of NFL Hall of Famer Howie Long, his philanthropic efforts are what's most impressive.

In 2017 Chris donated his entire NFL salary to various charities that push to support various causes including supporting clean drinking water initiatives around the world, military appreciation, and youth education. In this conversation, Chris talks about why he felt the need to support his fellow players in the discussion around police violence in America, and why it is important for athletes to speak out and do something against injustices.
