"Everyone's looking at your glory, not your story." Wallo, podcast host of Million Dollaz Worth of Game, Author and Motivational speaker

BIG Pivot today....In this episode of The Pivot Podcast, in partnership with Fanatics, Ryan, Channing and Fred sit down with the Philadelphia duo, Wallo and Gillie, who are trailblazers in new media, utilizing life experiences from music, the streets, life and loss to shape black culture and excellence through their various platforms and their hit podcast "Million Dollaz Worth Of Game." This is truly long overdue and much needed, bringing together our two massive platforms and five men who see life differently but all have the same goal and path forward is one of the most powerful conversations you can tap into right now.

The conversation weaves in and out of funny moments that will have you hysterically laughing to somber moments of reflection and impact, where wisdom and game is exchanged. The authenticity of who Wallo and Gillie are at their core reigns through in everything they do as most of the conversation is joking around with their gift to take serious subjects and make light of them in order to bring awareness. Bickering on just about every wild topic, from sports to music to prison showers to the best brand of soap to which athletes party harder, and even how their own podcast started.

Gillie and Wallo take the guys through their interactions with fans and how they believe they've managed to become such a force in both black culture and podcasting because of their relatability with other people. "We remind people of their uncles," said Gillie. Much of what we learn in life is through experiences and the value of shared information is key to growth in all areas which is something Wallo and Gillie stress to Ryan, Channing and Fred. Having powerful platforms is important but how the guys use their platforms to provide messaging and how people, young and old, see them is shaping culture and future generations.

Talking top headlines, the guys chat about the current landscape of sports, present-day NFL, the culture surrounding today’s highly paid athletes, and the challenges that come with the game’s evolution. Gillie gives some personal advice to his beloved Philadelphia Eagles, breaking down what they need to do to win, which had all the guys heeled over laughing. Wallo, on the other hand, opens up about opportunity and writing "Armed With Good Intentions", a book detailing his journey of mistakes, mishaps and lessons from his time in prison to the invaluable lessons he learned. His story of resilience and redemption offers powerful takeaways that resonate with anyone going through tough times or feel lost in what they are doing.

The strength of Wallo and Gillie is to have tough conversations regarding race in America, manifesting in the smallest ways with big impact, the everyday struggles of black men down to how the black experience isn't perfect but stress ways of prioritizing protection and hoping to show paths of growth and alternate approaches to success.

The conversation wraps reflecting on everyone's journey, navigating the unforeseeable future and power in the Pivot....It's never too late to Pivot and that's a Million Dollaz Worth Of Game. New Episodes out every Tuesday at 12pm EST and Fridays 3:30pm EST. Wallo's Book, "Armed With Good Intentions" is out now and a must read!
