The DäBU
Cedric and Kojo immerse themselves in constructive intelligent dialogue on a variety of topics. The 2 former athletes turned business leaders will share their insights, opinions and experiences on a wide range of topics. Subjects ranging from personal, community and societal issues to entertainment, history and business.
The show will be filled with compelling anecdotal narratives, along with statistical analysis, facts and interviews with experts and industry leaders. The theme of this show will always look to enable, empower and activate people from diverse communities, backgrounds and all walks of life to reach their unlimited potential. Helping ordinary people, trying to live extraordinary lives!
DABU (dei·byou) is an acronym as well as verb and noun. Here is a simplistic breaking down of "DABU" acronym.
We will be addressing various topics with the perspective of being:
"D - Diverse" individuals that have experienced
"A - Athletics"at a high level with a successful transition to
"B - Business World". That leads us to the fact that your potential is
“U – Unlimited” if you are willing to put in the work.
That’s the D-A-B-U…DABU!

Straight Talk - Race & Racism in America Part 1
Cedric and Kojo discuss the impact of racism and the trauma to society it causes. How and why citizens respond to recorded videos of extrajudicial executions. Is there a difference between a rioter and looter?
The pair reflect on Martin Luther King, his mission and his reputation prior to his assassination vs how he’s currently celebrated universally! During the “Face the Facts” segment statistics and fact-based evidence drive the conversation. “Stop and frisk” rationale is questioned, the correlation between the disparity of prison sentences and suspension rates for Blacks and Whites. The Serena Williams child birth story supports an ugly narrative and the disappointing global statistical comparisons will shock the listeners.
Do you discuss race and racism with your friends from other races? If not, are you really friends? Review of what the “Racist pyramid” entails and the significance Apathy plays in 21st century society. Is ignorance the same as innocence? A comic book villain doesn’t think so.
Where do we go from here? How to transform our views on issues, through relationships. "People are hard to hate up close." What does the Path to Resolution looks like? Anecdotal real-life tangible examples of things ALL of us can do to bridge the gap in the fight against racism. Finally, a controversial figure is the topic of this week’s “What would you do?” segment.
