No Playbook: Fatherhood, Hustle & Legacy w/ Reach TV CEO Lynnwood Bibbens

🔥 Fatherhood ain’t easy. Building a business ain’t easy. But trying to do BOTH as a Black man in America? That’s a whole different grind.

This episode of the black dad unfiltered podcast is raw, streetwise, and packed with truth bombs for every brother trying to balance fatherhood and leadership with the hustle of building legacy.

Hosted by Carlos V. Spencer and Coach Rod, the black dad podcast sits down with Lynnwood Bibbens, Chairman and CEO of Reach TV, to unpack what it really takes to be a present father while chasing big business moves. 💼👨🏽‍👦 This ain’t no sugarcoated highlight reel. Lynnwood keeps it all the way real about his entrepreneurship journey, the lessons from his grandfather, and how he teaches his son that consistency, discipline, and authenticity matter more than talent alone.

From boardrooms to ball fields, Lynnwood shows why sports are more than games—they’re training grounds for life. 🏈 The way athletes push through grit and delayed gratification translates perfectly into business and parenting. For Lynnwood, this mindset is the blueprint for fatherhood and success, even when you’re grinding with no playbook in hand.
