Although I was born in Barbados and raised in Brooklyn. I had no real connection to my birthplace until I visited the county in 1976, that visit changed everything. It was a father son retreat, it wasn't billed out as such at the time. Saturday mornings were devoted to spending time with my Dad while he worked side jobs in the neighborhood. I couldn't wait until it was my turn, because my brother would come home with all sorts of treats. By the time I was old enough the tradition came to an abrupt halt. A fellow podcaster (Alex Hobby) from Canada sent me a post about Barbados's intention to remove the Queen as the head of state. Buckingham Palace said Barbados’s intention to remove the Queen as head of state and become a republic was “a matter for the government and people of Barbados.” Downing Street said: “It’s a decision for Barbados, and we will continue to have an enduring partnership.” Entrepreneurial spotlight Surf Vs Turf in Bridgeport CT.

If you're tired of a station that doesn't speak to your needs and you're interested in learning more about the BTW Podcast visit RUNUTAINMENT . Oh yeah I haven't mentioned my Ko-fi page. The launching of my Ko-fi page is me embracing my talents, this is me walking in my purpose, this is me taking the leap, acknowledging that what I'm doing is providing a valuable service for the audience, the guest and the sponsors. BTW Podcast is a business. You can visit Derek Oxley to stay up today on current happenings with BTW, sign up for the New letter, check out the blog or order merchandise.

I took the leap 4years ago to drive for Uber/Lyft Full-time, so I could have the flexibility to devote to building BTW Podcast. Ko-fi is platform that will allow entrepreneurs/business owners to sponsor an episode PRE, MID or POST roll, it also allows you to buy me a cup of coffee.
