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!

WWYD - The Great Compromise!
Since it’s our mission to give our listeners what they want, we’ve brought you a standalone episode that covers different topics yet always comes back to the question, “What would you do?” We are in the third week of November and it is still not decided who will be the President of the United States after January 20th, 2021, and it’s all because Joe Biden and Donald Trump have both claimed victory.
In this episode, we talk about election day, why the long lines pose a threat to the process, and why we think that candidates’ party affiliation should not be shown on the ballots. Just think about it: in this hyper-divisive political environment, people tend to stand by their party regardless of who the candidate is or what their policies are and, in this way, we elect presidents we really shouldn’t.
We then take a deep dive into the origins of our existing electoral system, uncovering the systems of oppression and racism it was built on, and how the white slave owners in the South used the Three-fifths Compromise to maintain their positions of power. We reckon it’s time to change the system.
