The "What's Your Revolution?" Show with Dr. Charles Corprew"

7 years of the "What's Your Revolution Show?" by Dr. Charles Corprew

In this conversation, Travis and I discuss the importance of communication in building relationships and the impact of heart health on sexual performance. More specifically, we delve into the role of diet in maintaining heart health and how a plant-based diet can improve sexual function. Finally, we discuss closing the year and looking ahead to personal revolutions. We discuss the importance of expanding one's revolution, not staring at the finish line, and linking one's likes to their goals. We explore letting go and moving forward, reframing relationships, and giving one's talent to the world. The conversation emphasizes the need for progress rather than perfection and encourages listeners to take a chance on change. It's wonderful to end the year and begin the next with a revolution! Takeaways 1. Effective communication is essential for building strong relationships. 2. Heart health plays a significant role in sexual performance. 3. A plant-based diet can improve heart health and sexual function. Blood viscosity affects sexual health, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help. 4. Shame and misconceptions around erectile dysfunction should be addressed. 5. Closing out the year is an opportunity to reflect on personal revolutions and set goals for the future. Expand your revolution by looking beyond your immediate surroundings and considering the broader impact you can make. 6. Don't focus solely on the finish line; instead, look beyond it and keep running towards your next goal. 7. Link the things you enjoy doing with your goals and aspirations to create a fulfilling and purposeful life. 8. Let go of people and things that no longer align with your growth and surround yourself with a supportive community. 9. Reframe relationships by introducing others to the new version of yourself and understanding their perspectives. 10. Give your talent to the world and positively impact others' lives. 11. Take a chance at change and embrace progress rather than striving for perfection.

What's Interrupting You? by Dr. Charles Corprew

I met Marcus in early 2019 and he changed my life. It was my first season at Camelback Ventures and I was drinking from a fire hose while l learned my new role. Marcus was one of the founders we invested in during that cycle. His revolution resonated with me because he was building a school for our most precious demographic, Black boys. Little did I know, I was changing his life too. With a negative balance in his checking account and only faith in his hand, the call one day in January to let him know he had been accepted into the fellowship proved that prayer, faith, and work could do wonders. Marcus' leadership during the fellowship and our most chaotic periods moved me, gave me resolve, and pushed all of us forward. This riveting and thoughtful conversation highlights the journey of a father, mentor, educator, and philanthropist who has given his life to uplifting the world. His revolution - to love unconditionally is a road map for us all.

Just me - Dr. Charles Corprew thinking about what revolution looks like personally, communally, and globally. In my musings, I talk about the power of community, camaraderie, growth, success, and challenges we all face and why answering the most thought-provoking of your life will help you move quicker and more fervently to be the most revolutionary version of yourself.

What's Good Revolutionaries?! "So I'm out here and my revolution is to help guys, like you mentioned earlier, embrace their natural evolution, right? Be who you are, and be authentic in doing so, because I believe life is so much easier to live when you're being authentic and you have a much powerful, much more powerful story when you're authentic. And that's been my superpower all my life, my authentic, being authentic." My guest is Kene Onuorah - founder and CEO of Comme Homme, a health and skincare brand for men and the people who love them as men go on their journey to embracing the power of their baldness. I met Kene at the illustrious Black Venture Summit put on by W.E Build Tulsa and rockstar thought leader and entrepreneur Ashli Simms. Kene journey to baldness was unlike mine, one day I shaved it, got positive affirmations, and kept it moving. For other men, Hair loss can be quite traumatic. There is anxiety, shame, and embarrassment. What do we do? We figure out how to embrace it. Kene discovered that once men embrace it, there are products men need to help them, thus Kene created "Comme Homme" - with the understanding that men need to come home, embrace their baldness. Kene's podcast - Bald to Bold is an opportunity for men to talk about their journey to embracing boldness/baldness. It is a much-needed conversation! To get his products make sure you go to CommeHomme.com - Revolutionaries make sure you go support this brother!

What's Good Revolutionaries? "I don't know if I've ever told this story on the show, Dr. Batts and I, you know, I figured it was, it was time. It was time for me to tell this story of my journey, my journey of getting to a better version of myself. And, you know, in 2015, I was, you know, I broke up with my ex-fiance who I think is one of the greatest humans on earth in January of 2015. And I didn't care about anybody. I mean, when I say that, I didn't care about anybody but myself. Literally, literally nobody. And I did things that represented my sole care for my pleasure, right? And my sole understanding that life revolved around me. And I didn't care about anybody else. I didn't care about my friends. I didn't care about the people that I was with. I cared about myself. And I did things that I regret. I did things back then, this version of me looks back and says, you know what, mm-mm, nah. But I remember late in 2015, walking into my therapist's office and saying to him, these words, Dr. Batz, I'm a piece of shit. Because I had known that I had done things under the sole understanding, the auspices, that it didn't matter. what anybody else thought, it was just about me. And I knew that I needed to change my life. I knew that I needed to turn around. I needed to care about something greater than myself. So I walked into the therapist's office and said, I'm a piece of shit and I don't wanna feel like this anymore. And so for the last eight years, I have worked on myself. I've worked on being a better human, being a better man, being a better son, being a better Godfather, being a better friend, being a better frat brother, being better, being better at showing up for myself, being very self-aware, understanding the frailties of who I am as a human, being also understanding that at some point I needed to give myself grace for the past versions of myself." - Dr. Charles I have never talked about my past on the show. I always felt a sense of shame when referencing it, but at some point, the story needed to be told. This show started because I needed a way out, something to guide me as I moved through my journey. I went looking for the content and it wasn't there. Thus, WYR was born. It was needed because I didn't want to be that version of myself anymore, the one who only cared about himself, the one who made decisions solely for himself. I wanted to be different. Every guest on this show over the last 7 years has helped me and thousands of revolutionaries fulfill their answer to the most thought-provoking question of their life. In this episode, Dr. Batts and I discuss one of the greatest gifts we have in life, the power to forgive. It is funny that when you are looking for forgiveness for your past, life will present you with opportunities to forgive. it is up to you to work through your "ish" and hopefully revolutionize your existence. Be on the lookout for our new website and our course on how to answer the question, "What's Your Revolution?" but also what to do once you have the answer! - we love you and are here for you! Also - make sure you check out Dr. Batt's podcast - The "About that Life" podcast on Youtube!

At the show's recording, it would have been almost a year since my father passed. As I have talked at length about Charles S. Corprew Jr. and what he meant to me, what his light meant to me. And then I think about this, and I probably never said this on the show, Revolutionaries, that in my introspection about my relationship with my father, I realized that he was an only child and I wasn't only a child. And once we broke the barriers of being father and son, it was always there, that auspices of being father and son was always there. But I realized that my father and I were not only fraternal brothers but also brothers. We laughed and joked and played ever since I was a child. And it was the roughhousing and joking and laughter and going to basketball games and baseball games and track meets and everything. The reality of that was that my father was my brother and we enjoyed that camaraderie. But if you remember as I've talked so much at length here on this show that the last five years of his life, his light was stolen, and that I became his caregiver because of Alzheimer's and dementia. And so I think it is very, very important as I think about who listens to the show and think about being a caregiver. How do we think about Alzheimer's and dementia? How do we even take care of ourselves as we develop? How do we move through those spaces so we can not lose the last five years of our lives? And I began to think about who I want on the show to talk with me about this work, his work, and how we mitigate and deter some of the things that really exacerbate Alzheimer's. And I began to look and I found this wonderful, wonderful brother who not only is a JMU grad like myself but is one of the foremost gerontologists in the country. Dr. Robert Turner. Dr. Robert W. Turner II is an assistant professor in the Department of Clinical Research and Leadership with a secondary appointment in the Department of Neurology at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. He is a health disparities researcher with ethnographic and mixed methods training, and you know that I love that because my dissertation was both. His current National Institute on Aging funded the K-1 Award examined psychosocial and neurocognitive risk and protective factors and accelerated cognitive aging. and mild traumatic brain injury among former NCAA Division I and former NFL athletes. His book, Not For Long, The Life and Career of the NFL Athlete is out for anyone to purchase, to really, really understand what's going on when it comes to brain health for our athletes. What is Alzheimer's Well, I'm going to do it in the simplest form. In the simplest form, we have brain cells and neurons, and they communicate with one another. And I'm learning in a lot of different ways. The human body is just the most amazing thing. But your brain communicates with your arm or your hand and tells it to move. Well, it has to have clear pathways the electronic pulses, and the messaging to be sent that way. And so what you have is when you wind up having these damaged brain cells of which you have plaques and you have tangles. And so that winds up happening with the tangles is they glob up together and then they break off and then so, therefore, they cannot, the pathways are just broken. You know, you have clogged arteries from plaque in your arteries, right? And the messaging can't flow, the blood can't flow through that. And so essentially what winds up happening, and it's, and most people think it's all about losing your memory. It's not about just that at all. It's your ability to have, your memory, your executive functioning, your ability to control, you know, your body.

What's good revolutionaries? Sometimes a chance meeting can lead to friendship and collaboration. I met Armond Davis, CEO and Managing Partner at the Paragon Group while working with the good folx at ACT House. Although he's a part of that other 1911 Fraternity, Brother Davis comes to show to talk about his journey from the bottom to now we're here. He was literally almost a tragedy of the 2008 recession, but God had another plan for him. Now he spends his time investing and pouring into rockstar founders who are creating products and services that will revolutionize how we live. This show, alongside a Masterclass in radical empathy, also showcases how all of us can build wealth by finding creative ways to invest in early-stage disruptive companies. It's an asset class that we need to talk more about! Enjoy. Please make sure that you subscribe, like, leave a comment, and share with all your friends and family!

What's Good Revolutionaries? I hope all is well with you. Relationship building is a key to success in life. The more extensive your network, the bigger the opportunities you have to support people, and the bigger the opportunities you have for people to support you. B. Keith Fulton is one of those people who I found by using my network. One day we just happened to be sitting in a room together because our next brought us together. BK, as he is affectionately known, is the CEO of Soulidifly, a former high-level exec at Verizon, an award-winning filmmaker, entrepreneur, rockstar investor, and loving brother. You may ask how he accomplished this by 56. Well the answer, in short, is that he planned it out while sitting in the "Stacks" at Virginia Tech while reading the varied stories of Black pioneers. It would be those stories that led him to craft a journey of success, one that brought him from the depths of almost flunking out of VT to now being one of its board of Rectors. His mantra is "Have faith, do the work, and believe in the outcome". Please make sure you subscribe, like, and share the podcast with all your friends.
