About the show

The Real A** Necessary Talks Podcast We know it sounds hard to believe, but the inaugural episodes of this podcast came to fruition inside a state penitentiary. No, seriously, the first six episodes were recorded in an actual prison cell! This story begins with two friends; one of whom decides to take the big leap, quit his job, and move across the country so that he can pursue his dream of being an entrepreneur, and the other, finishing a three year incarceration stint in an Ohio state prison. These two college buddies find themselves with an incredible story and an itch to tell someone about it. This podcast centers on the evolution and growth of its two hosts, while simultaneously focusing on the very real issues that plague this country and its citizens. The true goal is to encourage our listeners to take ownership of their narrative and find freedom. REAL, RAW, and RELEVANT, The R.A.N.T. Podcast will keep you coming back with nothing short of quality discussions and thought provoking conversation.
