Pivot Podcast

If you ask us to sum up the last 2 years, all we can say, is it’s been a movie filled with crazy plot twists, unforgettable moments and a cast of characters who have become the core of our story & help us define The Pivot🙏 @thepivotpodcast?si=EDUSPlxn9QQW_qFI" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@thepivotpodca…

“I didn’t know Kings got scared…” We never can truly be prepared for what @mrjasonowilson explains in this story but we can learn from it, use our experiences and wisdom to guide us when our mind wants to jump into lion mode. Instead show young people how we handle a situation when fear takes over. youtu.be/L6v6KfE_oiQ Full episode out now on all audio platforms and @youtube #podcast #mentalhealth #lion #wisdom @Realrclark25 @FredTaylorMade @OfficialCrowder

“The entire time I’m the lamb, but then that lion came out”- @mrjasonowilson Before his mother passed, Jason Wilson recorded her voice so he’d always have a piece of her with him. He knew what was coming. The day she suffered a stroke became a turning point—not only for Jason, but for the young men he mentored. As they prayed together, his tears gave them permission to be vulnerable too. Her stroke wasn’t just a medical event; it became a release of years of trauma, something even doctors struggled to explain. It marked the moment Jason had to step into leadership and unleash the inner lion within him. @thepivot on @youtubetv & streaming platforms. #ThePivot #JasonWilson #Manhood

Friday episode drop! youtu.be/L6v6KfE_oiQ

“Men put on a mask to hide what appears to be weak to the world.” @mrjasonowilson As we close out Mental Health Awareness month, we sit with bestselling author and Martial Arts master, Jason Wilson, for a powerful conversation that can impact families, relationships, and generations.  From trauma and mental health to masculinity, fatherhood, healing, discipline, and emotional freedom — Jason opens up about the silent battles so many men face and why vulnerability is not weakness, it’s strength. Through his life’s work mentoring boys and men in Detroit and beyond, Jason is changing the way we view manhood, accountability, and healing. This one hits deep.  youtu.be/L6v6KfE_oiQ Our Friday episode is out now streaming on all audio platforms and @youtube @Realrclark25 @FredTaylorMade @OfficialCrowder #MartialArts #Fatherhood #leadership #podcast

This story is everything!!

“I have San Antonio winning it…” @TheJetOnTNT Kenny Smith doubling down on his @spurs pick and his reasoning goes far beyond stats🏀 the points he makes, definitely gives a different perspective. youtu.be/esQfMkjWJ38 Pivot Family, who you have coming out of the west? ⬇️#nba #podcast #spurs #okc @Realrclark25 @FredTaylorMade @OfficialCrowder

“He never told us, he decided on the walk over.” @TheJetOnTNT Leaving college early back in the day was unheard of and even the greats had a hard time with moving onto the NBA. Kenny describes the surprise factor in @Jumpman23 announcing his @UNC_Basketball departure and reveals how it truly transpired in the moment🤯 youtu.be/esQfMkjWJ38 Full conversation streaming now on all audio platforms and @youtube #unc #podcast #basketball #jordan @Realrclark25 @FredTaylorMade @OfficialCrowder

'Inside the NBA' star Kenny Smith credits the late, great Craig Sager for getting him to give up basketball and join the media. awfulannouncing.com/nba/kenny-smit…

“Let’s be honest. Who you supported in 2008, 2012 is nowhere near as polarizing as who you support today” Jaxson Dart seems to be a good young man. He can support whoever he pleases, but that support affirms certain things to his locker room. Abdul Carter should have handled things differently, but his disappointment is understandable. The President has clearly picked a side, & standing next to him gives the impression that you have to. Which means you stand in direct opposition of the majority of your teammates. It’s a conversation to be had behind closed doors, but it is an important conversation. @thepivot clips on @youtube. #ThePivot #JaxsonDart #AbdulCarter #NYGiants youtu.be/esQfMkjWJ38

Kenny Smith says Craig Sager was the first person to tell him he should go into media. After TNT offered him a job, he wanted to play his final year with the San Antonio Spurs on a one-year deal from Gregg Popovich but Sager told him, “What are you doing, go the media route

“{Inside the NBA} created what the podcast world is now” “Inside The NBA” has become Sport’s TV’s gold standard. @kennysmith believes the open dialog initiated by Charles Barkley is the show’s secret sauce. They could talk hoops, food, social justice, & roast one another all in the same segment. That unpredictability has ushered in an entire new era of media. @thepivot on @youtube & streaming networks. #ThePivot #KennySmith #InsideTheNBA #CharlesBarkley

“Your influence on your daughters is bigger than anything” @kennysmith’s daughter Kayla married former @Steelers’ 1st round pick @rell_island6 in April. Only Kenny & Kayla knew they’d make their entrance in a horse & carriage. The moment was emotional for them, but everyone in attendance. It reminded Kenny that your daughter’s what you do, but hear what you say. Most importantly, they remember how you showed up. @Thepivot on @youtube & streaming Platforms. #ThePivot #KennySmith #FatherHood #Weddings youtu.be/esQfMkjWJ38

“You can’t just let things be normal… sometimes not speaking is bigger than speaking” In the wake of Jacob Blake’s shooting in 2020, NBA players halted play in the bubble. Everything was normal for “Inside the NBA” that night, but @kennysmith couldn’t be a part of normal. A conversation with Dean Smith played in his head. Coach Smith asked, “Kenny what are you going to do for African Americans”. On this day he stood up, walked out, & didn’t say a word… and that spoke volumes! @Thepivot on @youtube & streaming platforms. #ThePivot #KennySmith #InsideTheNBA youtu.be/esQfMkjWJ38

Congrats to the NFL Live Family @Realrclark25 @LauraRutledge @minakimes @danorlovsky7 @mspears96 back to back for the best doing it!

“My first 6 years I was always Jealous of Scottie Pippen”- Kenny Smith @TheJetOnTNT played one year at @UNC_Basketball with Michael Jordan, but he didn’t know he could be the 🐐. He knew he had the competitive streak of a gladiator though. It showed up one day in open run at UNC. MJ was born to be the king of the court, & had no problem telling you. That’s part of why he was jealous of MJ’s most important teammate. @ThePivot on @youtube & streaming. #ThePivot #MichaelJordan #KennySmith #UNCbasketball #TheGoat youtu.be/esQfMkjWJ38

“Champions do daily what everyone does occasionally.” @TheJetOnTNT 💯 NBA Champion, analyst, and basketball icon Kenny “The Jet” Smith joins us for a conversation filled with wisdom, laughs, untold stories, and real perspective. From playing under legendary coach Dean Smith at UNC alongside Michael Jordan before later competing against him on the game’s biggest stage, to winning championships in Houston, a secret jealousy and helping build one of the most iconic shows in sports television with Inside the NBA, Kenny reflects on the moments, relationships, and mindset that shaped his journey on and off the court. The episode goes far beyond basketball as Kenny opens up about family, fatherhood, growth, legacy, and staying authentic through every chapter of life. With stories you’ve never heard before, honest conversations about today’s NBA, and his official prediction for the 2026 Finals! youtu.be/esQfMkjWJ38 Full episode out streaming now on all audio platforms and @youtube.

“We understand that for our freedoms, for us to have the ability to walk in the ways that we do and to have the opportunities that we have, someone is putting their life on the line for us daily.” @Realrclark25 Thank you for your service. To Army Sgt. Randy Adams, and all the men, women and their families who sacrifice in some way, every day for our freedom, we see you, we hear you and we appreciate you. #grateful #mondaymotivation #pivot #memorialday @FredTaylorMade @OfficialCrowder

Don’t let the bullies win. More & more, young people see themselves as unloved & unworthy. They aren’t the cool kids, the biggest, or most talented, yet. Some days it’s hard to even wake up. May not seem like it, but I get it. My bullies name was Eric. I remember him well , but I lean what I learned from him. So, keep moving forward. Give yourself a chance to grow, learn, & mature. You’ll see that things can be different if you give them a chance to. @thepivot mental health awareness month! #MentalHealthAwareness #Bullies #GoveYourselfAChance
