Good morning, family. You’re tuned in to Three for the Founders, and we’re coming at you this Monday, September 16th with a brand-new episode that runs a smooth 65 minutes and change.

This week, John, Lybroan, and Antonio start with the kind of banter that’ll have you grinning before you sip your coffee—debating whether it’s sock-sock, shoe-shoe or sock-shoe, sock-shoe (and yes, they manage to turn even that into a DEI joke). They shout out friends from Santa Clara to the San Fernando Valley—and even a new listener tuning in all the way from Vietnam.

Then the crew flips the beat and goes deep:

• What does it mean when we talk about “white time” versus communal rhythms of the global majority?

• How do Black and Brown teachers shift classroom culture from rigid bells and whistles to gatherings that begin when the people are ready?

• And what really happened with integration after Brown v. Board—was it about race, or about resources?

Along the way you’ll hear stories of math made dope, classrooms as lifelong families, Mama James’ “check and hug” survival strategy, and why speaking—like jazz—ain’t about hitting every note, it’s about knowing when to improvise.

And before they sign off, the hosts draw a sharp line between everyday prejudice and the weight of systemic racism backed by government power. It’s candid, it’s layered, it’s got humor and heart—just like hip hop radio in its golden age, but with that NPR-level reflection.

So hit play, stay with us, and when it’s done—share it with somebody who can use it, or somebody who can challenge it. Because these conversations don’t end here, they keep moving when you bring them into your world.
