Description

On this episode of A Pod Named Kickback, No Brakes Nu’ and Jacqui dive into something we all feel but rarely talk about — real connection. Not DMs, not algorithms, not emojis… we’re talking old-school connection. Eye contact. Energy. Physical interaction. Real conversations that mean something.


We dig into how the world has shifted so far into scrolling and swiping that we barely talk anymore — not deeply, not intentionally, not romantically, not platonically. And that’s the real issue: not what the connection is based on, but the fact that most people ain’t connecting at all.


From there, we take it deeper —

• Family, legacy, and building the right business that gives the right reward

• Why we still chase the creative itch, whether it’s music or content, and how it means something different now than it did when we were younger

• And ultimately, why humans still want to be part of something real… something meaningful… even if it costs us pieces of our old identity


This ain’t just a conversation — it’s a reminder that purpose, connection, and community still matter. That’s why the Kickback exists. That’s why you pull up every week. #Kickbackers
