Good Morning Nashville ☀️

We are once again excited to be a part of you guys new week, as we continue to embrace Black History Month and honor those that paved the way for us. Thank you to everyone that continues to support our initiative and what we’re doing to etch ourselves in black history, by being the ONLY black father and son podcast in the state of Tennessee! ⭐️ Mental health is real, and we see why each and every day. Let’s get into today’s episode as we listen to another black man vent today about how they best deal with mental health.

We are excited to bring to the show a long time and well known basketball coach in Nashville, a true native of the city, and has positively impacted easily over 1,000+ kids district wide with his influence, love, and compassion for children of all kinds. Beloved former MNPS Coach & now Athletic Director, Eric Bryson has joined the BMVT podcast! ✌🏽

Sitting down with Coach, we talk about how the dynamics of coaching has changed drastically. Coach Bryson talks about how nowadays, the kids don’t show as much true passion behind sports anymore. Everything is so “tech-led” nowadays, and has robbed our children of the experience of just general outdoor activities. Then a lot of times, the kids we see in the hallways are dealing with so much mentally … so it makes it hard to decipher the true cause or common issue. We discuss the children of today, but he also vents with us about his own children. Being a young dad at the age of 19, Coach B talks with us about how hard that was navigating parenthood, being a college student, and having to face the tough conversations of announcing to his parents “the news.” You guys will enjoy today’s episode for sure, take some time to listen to a black man vent today. ✌🏽

Good Morning Nashville ☀️

Once again, we are excited to be a part of you guys new week! One time for the month of February …

SAY IT LOUD! IM BLACK AND IM PROUD! ✊🏽HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH FROM THE ONLY BLACK FATHER AND SON PODCAST IN THE STATE OF TENNESSEE! ⭐️

Let’s get into today’s episode. 🔥

We got an EXCLUSIVE guest gracing our platform on today’s show. Some folks claim to be an “OG” in their neighborhood, but this brother surely has earned that title with his impact, influence, and efforts taken to change the law that landed him in prison. A humble giant he is, we present to some and introduce to others our brother Calvin “Fridge” Bryant. ✌🏽

Once a product of the system, Calvin has been around the city and beyond “venting” about his experience, inspiring the next generations to come. We get into our conversation and Mr. Bryant vents about how important it is to have black males in Nashville step up to be there for not just their children, but any child they come in contact with. It is by design for the powers that be to keep the black man out the home, so often times a child is in need of a positive black male role model … and we have failed in that quest. But he also talks about how for all of us, right now we are all in some sort of mental battle. We’ve seen the new administration do so much, and it has left a lot of us worried and concerned. Calvin also talks about the importance of being involved in your local government. Too many people get fixated on federal agendas, and do not take into account what locally impacts their own communities. It’s a lot to unpack from our talk with “Big Fridge”, make sure to buy a copy of his book at the link in our episode description. 📖

We definitely got a good episode for you guys today, take some time to listen to a black man vent today. ✌🏽

Good Morning Nashville! ☀️

We are excited as always to be a part of your new week. Last time we checked, we still stand as the ONLY black father and son podcast/platform in the state of Tennessee. ⭐️ For our new listeners coming into this episode, we want to thank you for listening in to the Black Men Vent Too Podcast. A podcast aiming to change the narrative behind black men, one episode at a time.

Let’s get into today’s episode! 🔥

Without a doubt, today’s guest is a true pillar in the Nashville community. Born and raised “Out East”, and in those adolescent years was able to develop and mature from various experiences into the man that he is today.

We are excited to bring co-founder of the Nashville Black Market, Carlos Partee to the show! ⭐️

As an entrepreneur, trailblazer, and husband, Carlos always has something to do. We get a chance to sit him down and mentally unpack a little bit of everything he has done so far in life and how he’s managed some of the struggles within the journey. We bring up the topic of “grinding & grieving”, and how hard it is to maintain focus when your heart hurts. Our condolences to his family as they mourn the transcending 🕊️ of his great grandmother, but we talk on that note about how hard it is sometimes to service others, when you’re the one in moments that needs it most. Not just grief, but stress in general can impact any business owner … black or white. He talks about how he had to at one point, choose between an event versus a funeral. The natural person would say “of course go to the funeral”, but as a man, we are always thinking of how we can keep food on the table. Often times a split decision like this can really be mentally detrimental because, what decision in that moment is the “right” decision? But Carlos has learned to adjust as he goes, and vents more about his life journey on the show. Take some time to listen to a black man vent today. 🙏🏽
