EPISODE DESCRIPTION — The Beep, Before the FireIn Episode 17 of the LetDatBoyLive Podcast, Amadi breaks down the small warning signs we ignore until they turn into bigger problems — the emotional “beeps” we hear but pretend aren’t there.Fresh off the rooftop at Hoop Courture’s Love & Basketball event, today’s episode opens with reflections on community, culture, 90s/2000s nostalgia, and the gratitude that comes from being surrounded by good people, good vibes, and real support.Tap in with Hoop Courture on IG:https://www.instagram.com/hoopcourture/This week’s Footwork spotlight features the Timberland® x TELFAR Premium Slip-On Shoe, a reimagined working man’s classic that mirrors the episode’s theme: evolution, ease, and the courage to update what’s outdated.See the Footwork here:https://www.timberland.com/en-us/p/featured-collections/timberland-x-telfar-91652/timberland-x-telfar-premium-slip-on-shoe-TB0A5TSE754?width=MAmadi dives into the metaphor of the low-battery smoke detector — a familiar sound in Black households and in our emotional lives. We ignore the beep, carry the weight, and pretend we're fine until the fire shows up.This episode breaks the cycle down into three actionable steps:1. Acknowledge the Beep — name the early signs of burnout.2. Change the Battery — lighten the load before it snaps.3. Don’t Silence the Alarm — fix the root, not just the noise.Mid-show, we salute our sponsor The ChitChatChai, a space built on warmth, ritual, and good energy.Explore their world:https://www.thechitchatchai.comTo close, Amadi hands you a weekly drop-off for your spirit: Soulection Radio — healing soundscapes, new textures, and a reset for your week.Start listening:https://music.apple.com/us/curator/soulection/993271379This is an episode about listening to your life… before the fire.Tap in, take what you need, and as always — LetDatBoyLive
