This week, I’m joined by a very special guest — my first-born, my biggest (literally) child, and future basketball legend: Kayden-Lee Dawkins-Ellis.

We’re talking about the mindset it takes to chase big dreams, why 19 is the most awkward age, how he’s landing opportunities through social media, and what it really means to be delusionally confident... even when things aren’t guaranteed.

From self-taught hoop skills to flying across the world for his first U.S. basketball tour, we dive into growth, manifestation, Gen Z motivation, and parenting a young Black boy with big ambition.

Oh, and of course, there’s vibes. Always.
Stay extra, so you ain’t gotta get extra. ✌🏾
