In this episode, I sat down with Chris Cobb, and let me tell you - this man dropped some serious knowledge that had me taking notes the whole time. Chris took us on his incredible journey from vacuuming cars at Enterprise Rent-A-Car to building a successful financial coaching empire, and every twist and turn taught us something valuable about seizing opportunities and building sustainable wealth.
What really hit me was when Chris talked about the financial literacy gap in our communities. He broke down how we're all walking around assuming everyone knows basic money concepts, but the reality is so many of us are missing fundamental building blocks. I'm talking about the difference between debit and credit cards, understanding what a budget actually is, and knowing where your money is really going each month. Chris explained it perfectly with that classroom analogy - when kids don't understand something, they're often too embarrassed to raise their hand, so they just get passed along without really learning. That's exactly what's happening with our money education.
The practical advice Chris shared for the second half of 2025 is pure gold. From switching to high-yield savings accounts (we're talking going from 0.01% to 4% just by switching banks!), to understanding how AI and social media can create new income streams, this episode is packed with actionable strategies you can implement immediately. Plus, his perspective on entrepreneurship - building part-time for two years before making the leap - shows the real blueprint for sustainable business building, not these overnight success fantasies we see online.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by financial advice or wondered why certain money concepts seem to click for some people but not others, this conversation will change your perspective. Chris proves that with the right foundation and mindset, anyone can build financial freedom. So grab your notebook, tune in, and get ready to level up your financial game!

In this episode, we're diving deep into the power of work ethic and authentic entrepreneurship with my co-host and dad, Amos. Today, we're sharing the incredible journey from my first $50 paycheck at age 11 to building multiple income streams and later achieving a high enough GPA for scholarship money. This isn't just about jobs - it's about US, our character development, and how early work experiences are the foundation that builds resilient, successful adults.
Remember that sometimes the most valuable lessons come from the people who raised us? We're sharing my father's powerful wisdom about incentives over force, the importance of surrounding yourself with great people, and how the village that raises you makes all the difference in your success journey.

In this episode, we're diving deep into the mathematics of love and the precious reality of our limited time with family. Today, we're sharing a powerful 4th of July reflection that will transform how you think about every holiday, every phone call, and every moment with your loved ones. This isn't just about gratitude - it's about US, our intentional choices, and how every day is a milestone worth celebrating.
Remember when we used to think making it to 18 or 21 was the goal? Now we're realizing that if your parents are in their 70s, you might only have 10 more 4th of Julys together. We're sharing an incredible story from an Uber driver who lost his wife tragically but still overflows with gratitude for his family support system while raising two small children, including a four-year-old with autism. This man's perspective on finding blessing through tragedy will challenge everything you think you know about gratitude.
We're also exploring God's omnipresent protection - how He's above us like a shield, behind us cleaning up our mistakes, and in front of us lighting the path home like that Krispy Kreme "Hot Now" sign calling us to pull up on Him. From brushing your own teeth to having sanity and shelter, EVERYTHING is a blessing worth thanking God for.

In this episode, we're diving deep into one of the most controversial parenting topics of our time - navigating authority with our young adult children who are still financially dependent. Today, we're tackling the hard questions about when parental guidance ends and adult independence begins, and trust me, this conversation is going to challenge some perspectives.
This isn't just about being right or wrong - it's about US, our parenting philosophies, and how we prepare our young adults for the real world. I'm sharing some personal stories from my Brooklyn upbringing that shaped my understanding of respect, consequences, and what it means to make adult choices. From the unforgettable lesson my father taught me about authority to the practical strategies we use today, this episode explores the delicate balance between guidance and independence.
Remember how our parents prepared us for the world by teaching us to follow instructions and face consequences? We're examining whether those same principles apply when our 20-something kids are still living under our roof, driving our cars, and depending on our support. This conversation spans cultural differences, generational perspectives, and the modern challenges of extended adolescence.
Tap in to this real discussion: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner
Drop me a comment about your own parenting philosophy - do you think financial dependence should come with behavioral expectations, or should adult age automatically mean complete autonomy? Share how you navigate these challenging conversations with your young adult children and what boundaries you've set in your own home.
Let's keep building authentic relationships and honest conversations about the parenting challenges we're all facing. 💪🏾 Cousin Ed's Corner is about real talk - we're not just discussing it, we're living it. Share this with another parent who needs to hear they're not alone in these struggles!

Thank God For Everything (TGIF) - When God Puts Goliath in Your Path
Friday Jun 27, 2025
Friday Jun 27, 2025
In this episode, we're diving deep into what it means to be a warrior when life puts Goliaths in your path and you don't even have a slingshot to fight with. Today, I'm sharing the incredible story of a young man I used to coach who graduated from Georgia Tech despite enduring three surgeries during his college career, plus a personal memory from my childhood in Flatbush that taught me about divine courage.
This isn't just about facing external battles - it's about US, our daily fights, and recognizing that sometimes our biggest Goliath is just getting out of bed or maintaining faith when every door seems closed. I'm talking about finding what keeps you grounded when you want to give up, because God doesn't want us to lay down - He wants to see if we'll keep fighting even when victory seems impossible.
Remember, your very existence is a testimony to someone else who's struggling. We're exploring how being yourself IS spreading the word, and how your life story - with all its battles and victories - shows others that God's grace is real and His power is sufficient. Whether you're fighting through job loss, health challenges, or just the daily struggle to keep going, this episode is your reminder that you're already victorious because you made it through yesterday.

Wind Down Wednesday - Stop Waiting for Permission to Live 'Replenish Your Cup Each Day'
Wednesday Jun 25, 2025
Wednesday Jun 25, 2025
In today's episode: we're diving deep into the power of living in the moment and authentic self-care. I'm sharing my grandmother's wisdom that can completely transformed how you approach life. This isn't just about summer vibes - it's about US, our mental health, and how we've been trained to wait for the "perfect moment" while missing out on the beautiful small moments happening right now.
Remember when someone told you to "smell the roses"? We're breaking down why most of us only get roses when we're gone, and how to change that starting TODAY. I'm sharing real conversations with friends who waited too long to enjoy their lives, the "replenish vs fill" philosophy that will revolutionize your self-care game, and why us men especially need to hear this message during Men's Mental Health Awareness Month.
This episode is packed with practical wisdom about finding free local events, creating meaningful staycations, and building a life you don't need to escape from. We're talking about the rubber band theory of life - if you don't use it, it breaks. Just like us.

Motivation Monday - Have Some Humility!!!
Monday Jun 23, 2025
Monday Jun 23, 2025
Today, We're talking about those conversations that make you uncomfortable but are absolutely necessary? Well, I had one of those with my son recently, and it taught both of us some powerful lessons about humility, growth, and what it really means to live up to our potential. In this Motivational Monday episode, I'm opening up about a pretty intense father-son conversation that started with me calling out my son for just "getting by" when I knew he had so much more to offer. What happened next completely surprised me and reminded me why having the courage to engage in difficult conversations - and the wisdom to receive them with humility - can be life-changing.
I'm sharing this personal story because I know we've all been there - on both sides of these tough conversations. Whether you're the one giving feedback or receiving it, there's something powerful that happens when we learn to pause, evaluate, and respond with an open heart instead of a defensive stance. My son's journey from "ten toes down" defensiveness to coming back the next day with humble acknowledgment shows us all what real growth looks like. This isn't just about parenting or coaching - this is about how we show up in life when someone we trust tells us something we might not want to hear.
So tune in as I break down why these hard conversations are necessary, how to know your audience, and most importantly, how to create space for real transformation to happen. Whether you're a parent, coach, mentor, or someone working on your own personal development, this episode will challenge you to examine how you handle feedback and embrace the uncomfortable conversations that lead to breakthrough moments. Don't sleep on this one - your growth depends on it.

In this episode, I had the incredible honor of having Essence of Poetry, a true queen and Sistah of this show, open up our conversation about Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. Her words set the tone for something I've been needing to say for a long time - that all need safe spaces where they can be vulnerable, grow, and strengthen each other without fear of judgment or attack.
Today, I get real about the impossible standards we place on men to always be strong, to never show emotion, and to carry the weight of the world without ever letting anyone see us sweat. I share my own struggles with the alpha versus beta mentality that's tearing our communities apart, and why I believe that showing vulnerability actually makes you stronger, not weaker. We dive deep into the fear that keeps us silent - the fear of disappointing our peers, our partners, and our loved ones who might see us as less than the security blanket they need us to be.
This isn't just about when dating or when married either. I'm talking about the judgment we face from our own brothers, our friends, and even our family members when we dare to express how we really feel. Too often, when a man finally opens up, he's met with "man up" or "stick your chest out" instead of the understanding and affirmation he needs. I've been guilty of this myself, and I'm calling all of us to do better. This episode is my invitation for you to join a community where listening comes before judging, where we hold each other up instead of tearing each other down.
I also break down the different levels of help available - from trusted loved ones to life coaches, counselors, and psychiatric care when needed. Because sometimes we can't handle everything on our own, and that's not only okay, it's human. Too many good men have checked out because they felt alone in their struggles, and I'm determined to make sure that doesn't happen on my watch.

This conversation matters every single day, not just during Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, so be sure to share your thoughts and experiences with me, and let’s keep this important conversation going!

The Amos & Cousin Ed Conversations: How My Dad's Vision Changed My Live
Wednesday Jun 18, 2025
Wednesday Jun 18, 2025
On this NEW episode, I'm beyond excited to introduce you to something completely new and incredibly special - "The Amos & Cousin Ed Conversations" This isn't just another podcast series; it's an intimate journey into the heart of father-son relationships, generational wisdom, and the kind of real talk that happens when you're riding down the highway with nowhere to be but present with each other.
My father Amos and I have been having these incredible conversations during our road trips, and I realized that the wisdom being shared, the stories being told, and the laughter being generated needed to be captured and shared with all of you. These aren't scripted interviews or planned discussions - they're organic, authentic moments where a father reflects on the lessons he tried to instill and a son recognizes how those lessons shaped the man he became.
In this debut conversation, we dive deep into the legendary N.B.A. "National Backyard Association" that transformed our Brooklyn neighborhood, the pivotal moments that taught me how to choose friends wisely, and how basketball became the vehicle that carried me from the streets of New York to the colleges of Georgia. But more than that, we explore the philosophy behind intentional parenting, the courage it takes to let your children spread their wings, and how the highest form of love sometimes looks like the highest expectations.
What makes "The Amos & Cousin Ed Conversations" special is that you're getting both perspectives - the father who was strategically building character and community, and the son who's now understanding the depth of that investment decades later.
Whether you're a parent trying to guide your children, an adult child reflecting on your upbringing, or someone who just appreciates authentic family stories, these conversations will give you so much to think about and apply to your own relationships.

In this special Father's Day episode, I dive deep into the reflections and lessons learned. Yes this Father's Day wasn't just another holiday - this was a masterclass in how life teaches us when we're paying attention. I started my day with some great meditation / stretching, and then surprising my dad at church, hearing a powerful word about faith from Mark chapter 5, then headed to the lake for some meditation time.
But here's where it gets real - while I'm sitting there trying to process this great sermon, life decided to give me a front-row seat to the most profound lesson about love, loss, and the preciousness of time. I watched a father and son create the kind of memory that kid will carry forever as they kayaked together, while simultaneously witnessing a family say their final goodbye to a loved one by spreading ashes in that same lake. Talk about perspective, right?
The whole experience reminded me that we're living this 360-degree life where every moment matters, every connection has purpose, and every day is an opportunity to love harder. I even had an unexpected reunion with an old coaching friend and got to see how one of my former young players is now impacting his community at just 23 years old. These aren't coincidences, family - these are divine appointments that remind us what really matters.
I'm sharing all of this because I want you to walk away from this episode with one clear message: don't wait for holidays or special occasions to show love to the fathers, uncles, cousins, and family members in your life. Call them today. Text them. Make those memories while you can. Because I promise you, in your lowest moments, it's those connections and that love you've invested that will carry you through.
Tune in now: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner
I invite you to drop me a comment about a moment when you realized how precious time with loved ones really is, and share how you've learned to celebrate the people in your life beyond "man-made holidays!" Let's keep building and spreading love in our authentic journeys together. 💪🏾

On today's show, I want to take a moment to Thank God For Everything and express my gratitude for everything our lives. From the smallest blessings to the biggest challenges, it's essential to recognize and appreciate every moment we have. I dive deep into the importance of mental health awareness, especially for men of color, and how we can create a safe space for open conversations about our struggles and vulnerabilities.
As I share my thoughts, I also highlight some incredible artists who inspire me, like Call Him D and Lord Vizion. Their messages resonate deeply within our community, reminding us of the power of positivity and the importance of surrounding ourselves with uplifting influences. I believe that together, we can foster a supportive environment where everyone feels heard and valued.

The Corner Connection - This Is America!!!
Wednesday Jun 11, 2025
Wednesday Jun 11, 2025
In this episode, we're diving deep into one of the most pressing issues of our time - Immigration in America and what it means to treat our fellow human beings with dignity and respect. Today, I'm sharing a powerful conversation I had with a contractor from Mexico who opened up about the daily fear that millions of people live with in our country face. This isn't just about policy - it's about US, our humanity, and remembering that we're ALL immigrants or descendants of immigrants who built this nation together. It's About AMERICA'S Ugly Truth!!!
I share my earliest memories of immigration from Brooklyn in the late 80s during Reagan's amnesty program. We're connecting those dots to today's reality and asking the tough questions about who we are as Americans. Junior, the contractor, drops some serious truth about the economic impact of mass deportations and how Americans are treated when they travel abroad. His perspective will challenge you to think beyond the headlines and see the human faces behind this issue.
This episode of The Corner Connection isn't about taking sides - it's about opening hearts and minds to have the conversations that matter. We're talking about families, communities, and the fear of living in the shadows when you're just trying to contribute to society.

On today's episode, I had to come to y'all with something that touched my heart this weekend. My baby girl just turned 17, and man, I'm feeling all kinds of emotions about it. Join me as I talk about what it means to watch your daughter grow up right before your eyes. We're talking about the bittersweet beauty of seeing her develop into her own person - from deciding to loc her hair, to taking pride in her skincare routine, and just becoming this amazing young woman.
I know I'm not the only parent out there feeling this way, especially my fellow girl dads who understand that protective instinct that never goes away. We want our kids to experience all the beautiful things life has to offer - prom, college, driving, all those teenage milestones - but we also know the world can be challenging, especially for our daughters. I'm sharing my heart about wanting her to grow while simultaneously wishing I could keep her little forever.
This isn't just about my daughter though, fam. This is about all our kids, nieces, nephews, grandkids - watching the next generation step into their power while we learn to love them enough to let them spread their wings. It's about finding joy in their happiness, even when it means they're growing away from us. If you're a parent navigating these waters, or if you just need some encouragement about the beautiful complexity of loving someone this deeply, this episode is for you.
Tune in now: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner
Come sit with your boy Cousin Ed for a few minutes and let's talk about this journey together. Don't forget to share your own stories with me - I love hearing from y'all about your parenting moments, both the sweet and the challenging ones. Let's keep building this community of love and support!

On today's episode, I'm so excited to share the incredible ways God works through technology. What began as a simple chat with my cousin Mr. Moody about our parents, health, and gratitude, turned into something extraordinary - I ended up creating an AI-produced song in just 30 minutes that captures the heart of what we're always talking about: Thank God For Everything.
But this episode goes deeper than just gratitude and technology. We're diving into those real, raw moments when your faith gets tested to the core. Whether you're dealing with grief from loss, watching a parent struggle with dementia, or facing financial challenges that shake your foundation, this message is for you. I'm talking about that fair-weather fan mentality - it's easy to praise God when everything's going well, but what happens when life gets difficult? Even Jesus questioned God on the cross, so if you're struggling with doubt right now, you're in good company.
I want you to know that those tests are preparing you for your testimony. Just like Jesus wrestled for three days and rose again, you're going to rise from whatever you're facing right now. This isn't just motivational talk - this is real life, real faith, and real hope for anyone who feels like they're wrestling with the devil in their circumstances.
So tune in now: https://linktr.ee/cousinedscorner
Please, let this message bless your heart. And also, don't forget to let me know what you think about the song I created with the help of technology. I love hearing from each and every one of you, and your feedback means the world to me. Share this episode with someone who needs to hear that they're not alone in their struggle and that their breakthrough is coming. Let's keep building and celebrating our faith journeys together!

In this episode, I got vulnerable about something I know we all struggle with - that nagging voice that asks "why am I doing this?" and "is anybody even listening?" But here's the thing, I had to share a story that completely changed my perspective and reminded me why we keep going even when the doubts get loud.
A few weeks ago, my cousin hit me up out of nowhere with a picture of their TV screen showing Cousin Ed's Corner playing on YouTube. They had no idea I even had a podcast, but somehow the algorithm blessed them with our content, and they were genuinely surprised and delighted. That moment right there reminded me that we never truly know whose life we're touching or whose day we're making better with our authentic voices.
This episode is for every creator, every dreamer, every person putting themselves out there wondering if it matters. Whether you're writing poetry, making body butters, fixing cars, or sharing your healing journey - your genuine effort matters more than you know. I talk about why being your own number one fan isn't just important, it's necessary, and how sometimes that one person you're creating for might just be yourself, and that's perfectly okay. We dive into the power of community support, those simple hearts and "KEEP GOING" comments that fuel us more than we realize, and why authenticity will always win over perfection.

I hope that this episode is that battery in your back, that recharge you need to keep pushing forward with whatever passion project is on your heart. Whether you're thinking about starting that restaurant, writing that book, or sharing your travel dreams - your voice matters, your story matters, and somebody out there needs to hear exactly what you have to say.
Remember: 'No Matter How You Cut It Or Slice It, We Are All In This Together'

Friday May 30, 2025
In this episode, we're diving deep into the power of gratitude and the importance of celebrating our journeys, especially as we wrap up another school year. I take time out to reflect on how tough this year has been for everyone - students, teachers, parents, and all the unsung heroes who keep our educational system running. From the A+ scholars to those who struggled to make the grade, from teachers who didn't want to get up on rainy mornings to parents dealing with teenage emotions (y'all know what I'm talking about with my 16-year-old! 😂), we've all been through it. But we made it, family, and that's worth celebrating.
We're also taking time to honor our educators - those servants who stand in the gap when we can't be there, who are severely underpaid for the society-building work they do. I'm also celebrating our people, especially our queens who are leading the way in educational achievement. It's beautiful to see how far we've come, and I had to give flowers where they're due. Plus, I'm shouting out all the 2025 graduates from kindergarten to doctoral programs - every achievement matters and deserves recognition.
I want you to know that this summer isn't just about rest (though you definitely need that!), but about recharging like those Teslas - filling up your tank so you can get back on the road stronger.

Wind Down Wednesday - Are You Taking Enough Time for Yourself?

In this episode, I share some personal experiences about the challenges of balancing responsibilities and the emotional toll it can take. I know how easy it is to get caught up in helping others and forget about our own needs. That's why I’m here to remind you that it’s okay to take a step back and prioritize yourself. Whether it’s a solo trip, a quiet moment in the park, or simply recording your thoughts, I encourage you to find those moments of peace.
I also want to talk about the power of expressing our emotions. Sometimes, we hold so much inside that it can weigh us down. I share tips on how to let it all out—whether through conversation with a trusted friend or just talking to yourself in a voice memo. Remember, you’re not alone in this journey, and it’s essential to have someone to lean on.
