Listen Then Speak

by Jahmaal Marshall

Our desire is to sit and chop it up with anyone from best selling authors to successful entrepreneurs and get a sense of the highs and lows of their journey. We want to delve past the surface to see how their culture, faith, career choices, and mental health have brought them to their current destination and broach topics that will provoke both thought and action in listeners.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Jahmaal is a very gifted host. He draws you in. I’ve been a guest on dozens of podcasts lately and I can say Jahmaal has a rare gift of being able to draw out the experiences of the guest in a way that speaks to his diverse audience. I predict this podcast will only grow in time because it’s speaking to our internal lives with such honesty and urgency, which is desperately needed today!

AaronGrahamDC · Aug 2026

I am glad I discovered this podcast. It is thoughtful and filled with deep insights and actionable practical suggestions.

Eiep · Aug 2026

Just listened to the episode with Brynn and thought it was amazing. Love how content she was with imperfection. She was confident and stood on business with her responses. Jahmaal as the host held the conversation together with brilliant questions and witty, on the spot, navigation in directing the conversation where it landed smoothly on the ears of the listeners. Superb job! 👏🏾

Kurt Doin' Work · Jul 2026

Very much enjoyed the episode on character and chemistry! Truly insightful exploration of both concepts and the importance of clearly prioritizing them (whether in personal life or in assessing the life of others)!
