In this special episode, Coach KJ and Doc Hunt get raw about why your interpersonal relationships that keep hitting the wall.

We unpack the hard question: “Am I the problem?”—from hunting peace in everyone else to owning your own growth.

You’ll hear our take on societal pressures placed on men and women as we explore how we treat one another.

If you’re feeling kinda sensitive today, you might want to save this for a better time when your skin gets a little thicker. We are not holding back.

Let’s go!

This week on Sippin On Excellence, we hand the mic to the incomparable Tonya Renee Banks—actor, author, reality TV icon, and all-around truth-teller. Buckle up, because Tonya didn’t hold back.

She takes us deep into the world behind Little Women: LA and even deeper into her new book (which inspired this episode’s title). Tonya shares what reality TV never shows: family dynamics, her upbringing, and the gritty, unfiltered moments that made her who she is.

No topic was off-limits. From the challenges and triumphs of growing up as a little person, to the way her family kept her grounded (and hilarious), to her hustle in Hollywood—Tonya drops gems and realness in equal measure.

Get ready to laugh, reflect, and maybe even rethink what resilience looks like. If you’ve ever faced adversity, judgment, or just needed a reminder that you can carve your own path—this episode is for you.

Grab a drink, settle in, and let’s sip on some real excellence.

Welcome to the rawest episode we’ve done yet. This week on Sippin’ on Excellence, Coach KJ and Doc Hunt dive headfirst into the silent war most men are losing: their mental health.

We’re unmasking the high-performing man who looks like he’s winning… but is emotionally drowning. We’re challenging outdated definitions of masculinity that keep men locked in shame, stress, and silence.And we’re breaking down why that “strong, silent type” image is killing men from the inside out.

From performance pressure, suppressed emotions, to the emotional cost of pretending everything's fine, it’s time to rewire how we see strength.

If you’re a man, know a man, love a man — this episode is your permission slip to go deeper.

In this powerful and no-holds-barred episode, Coach KJ and Dr. Hunt sit down with none other than The Honorable Judge Greg Mathis—the streetwise icon who turned a troubled youth into a lifetime of service, justice, and unapologetic leadership.

Judge Mathis opens up about his past as a juvenile, the moment he knew education would be his weapon, and how he used the courtroom as a platform to fight for the voiceless. We dive into the major influences that changed his trajectory, how he stayed grounded in his community roots, and why he never traded in his authenticity for respectability.

This isn’t just a story of redemption, it’s a masterclass in reclaiming power, building purpose, and giving back with a vengeance.

Whether you're a fan of justice, the underdog’s rise, or real talk about Black excellence, this episode is a must-listen.

“I’m still the street guy... I just made it.” — Judge Mathis

In this week’s episode Coach KJ and Doc set fire to one of the most overused and under-delivered concepts in personal development: work-life balance. The truth is, for high-performers and purpose-driven people, the idea of true balance is not just unrealistic… it can be a trap.

We dive into the myth of balance in work, relationships, and the pursuit of success. What society sells as “peace” often feels like pressure. Friends, family, even well-meaning strangers love to offer advice, “Take more time off,” “You need a vaca,” “You’re doing too much.” But often that advice has more to do with their discomfort than your burnout.

Instead of chasing a picture-perfect version of balance, this episode challenges you to create your own version of rhythm, alignment, and intentional chaos. Because sometimes your grind is your therapy. Sometimes imbalance is exactly what your growth demands.

It’s time to redefine what your life should look like. And no, you don’t owe anyone an apology for being obsessed with building something great.

We were so honored to have a powerful and in depth conversation with Dr. Mitch Besser.

Dr. Besser is not your typical Ob-Gyn. He has dedicated most of his career to serving the underprivileged around the world, mostly spending over 20 years in South Africa empowering pregnant women living with HIV to have better lives.

This was a very soulful conversation that will pluck at the heartstrings.

Rest assured. We will have him back for round 2.

We truly only scratched the surface of his vast experience navigating the waters of this thing called LIFE!

Your belief system isn’t just a vibe—it’s a GPS. But what happens when it's leading you off a cliff?

In this week’s episode Coach KJ and Doc Hunt dissect the line between the risks of challenging your belief system to succeed and the very system you thought was keeping you grounded… that might be keeping you small.

We jump into some thought-provoking conversation. Is not challenging your belief system one of the riskiest things you can do? Is there a difference between beliefs that serve your success and ones that sabotage it, or are they the same? Are most people’s belief systems their own, generational hand-me-downs, or socially influenced?

This isn’t just mindset talk. It’s a street-level, soul-deep callout of the stuff you believe that’s either building your legacy, or burying it. If you’ve ever asked, “Why does it feel like I’m sabotaging myself just as I’m about to win?”… this one’s for you. Pour it up, press play, and prepare to call yourself out.
