Many interview shows stay on the surface. We go deeper: into the mindset behind the achievement, the story behind the headline, the lesson behind the success.

Powerful People.
Powerful Stories.

Entrepreneurs. Executives. Authors. Athletes. Artists. Technology innovators. Public figures. Community leaders. Investors. Visionaries and changemakers.

Whether a guest is an emerging leader or a nationally recognized name, the goal is the same: show the journey, not just the outcome. Success leaves clues. We're here to find them.

Dashawn
Taylor

Award-winning author. Publisher. Filmmaker. AI developer. Entrepreneur. Dashawn first gained national attention as a finalist on BET's The Ultimate Hustler, hosted by Damon Dash, and he's spent the two decades since proving that introduction was just the opening scene.

As Founder and CEO of Next Level Publishing, he's helped hundreds of authors turn ideas into books, brands, and businesses. As a screenwriter and filmmaker, his credits include Still Chicago. As the creator of BlaqGPT™, he's making AI education accessible to entrepreneurs and underserved communities. His work has been featured by NBC, MTV, VIBE Magazine, Essence Magazine, The New York Times, and BET Networks.

Now he's bringing that same mission to video: put the builders, the believers, and the boundary-breakers in one room, and let the world watch what gets built.
