1for30 - To The Least of These

Send us Fan Mail I remember a time when I was considered "less than honorable" by friends and strangers alike. I remember sitting in a maximum security facility that I once helped build as well as shared the gospel in. What do you do when the inspiring becomes the inmate?

My friend of the last 30 plus yea...

1for30 - Chase the Sun, literally!

Send us Fan Mail My life has afforded me some amazing friends. During my adult undergraduate time, there was one professor at Chicago State University who immediately grabbed my attention. Maybe it was because of my age at the time, maybe it was because he was doing it in the industry and he became motivation, or maybe it was because of his style of teaching "guerilla filmmaking". Professor turned friend, Alvin Daniels sits down with me to talk about his love for teaching, golf, and making docum...
