Each episode begins with images, early memories, pivotal turning points, and present day realities prompting guests to unpack the experiences that defined them. From there, the conversation moves deeper: identity, family, ambition, failure, culture, relationships, justice, and the pressures of modern life. Through structured storytelling and unexpected game segments, guests reveal both the serious and the surprising sides of themselves. The tone is honest, intelligent, and human, reflective without being heavy, playful without being shallow. This is not an interview. It is a space for discovery. Real stories. Clear thinking. Unfiltered insight. Hosted on Acast.

Or from Jeremy Vine. Or from Good Morning Britain. But do you know where he started? In this episode, Marvyn takes the room on the full journey — from g:hop, the lifestyle movement that tried to do for grime what hip hop did for itself, to Sunday Show where Ed Sheeran performed most of his early Black community shows, to building Dope Black Dads out of a moment of personal crisis in fatherhood, to developing BELOVD as a human strategy organisation, to Men's Circle, the free space for men he considers his most important work right now. Then the conversation goes somewhere else entirely. What does it mean to be a Black leader without becoming a Black Messiah? Why does Marvyn refuse that role, and why does he think most leaders who accept it get destroyed? What happened when he burned out for three years and stopped feeling safe in football media spaces? What does forgiving an absent father actually look like — and why does it have nothing to do with the father? And what happens when someone in the room defends hitting their children, and Marvyn pushes back — live, on camera, without flinching? This is a rare full conversation. No filter. No agenda. Just a man who has thought deeply about community, capacity, identity, and what it costs to build something real. 🎧 Listen & Subscribe: Acast: https://shows.acast.com/discover-with-marvyn-harrison Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-marvyn-harrison-podcast/id1531924169 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0vgJd0NT9uEUYYON5k2RDf YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DiscoverWithMarvyn 📲 Follow Marvyn: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/discoverwithmarvyn Dope Black Dads: https://www.instagram.c…","meta_description":"Show details: https://www.youtube.com/@TheDayAfterTNB You probably know Marvyn Harrison from Dope Black Dads.
