  • Communication Is The Infrastructure

    Communication Is The Infrastructure
    May 22 2025
    In tomorrow’s episode of Unfiltered, I touch on a fundamental, but often overlooked issue inside tech companies: poor communication. From startups to scale-ups, misalignment between engineering, product, marketing and sales teams can quietly erode progress, efficiency and culture. I share insights on how cross-department disconnects can derail entire businesses—and what it takes to fix it. Expect a candid take on the pitfalls of siloed workflows, the arrogance that sometimes lives in dev-heavy environments, and the critical need for infrastructure-driven communication systems. Whether you're leading a team, building a product, or scaling a startup, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to create better synergy and sustainability across the business: https://linktr.ee/unfilteredwithgeorgiispeakman

    Two long time friends (Meosha Bean and Georgii Speakman) sit down and talk about their time in, and exit of Los Angeles, California - the truths about Hollywood, creative pursuits and racial relations within America. Cut from different cloths and born on opposite sides of the world, Meosha and Georgii have found commonality in their near decade long friendship sharing the same sense of humor, similar views and related entertainment industry experiences. Together, they share their take on what it's all about; revealing perhaps the darker sides of what's otherwise presented as a massive calling card of the American Dream. They touch on the polarizing nature of industry, concepts of relativity as it pertains to race in the country of America; sharing differences between the westcoast and the south, and more. Lean in as these two dear friends get raw, remain unfiltered and exchange on some of the most talked about topics in today's culture, and society.

  • The Dichotomy of Love – Choosing Love in a World of Contrast

    The Dichotomy of Love – Choosing Love in a World of Contrast
    Apr 3 2025
    In this episode of Unfiltered, I touch on the layered, complex, and deeply human experience of love—not just as emotion or romantic connection, but as an energetic frequency, a way of being, and a radical act of self and collective healing. I explore the duality of life—light and dark, joy and sorrow, ego and soul—and how we often find ourselves drifting from love due to trauma, hardship, and the constant noise of modern life. But in every moment of pain or disconnection, there exists an equal opportunity to choose love again. Through self-awareness, daily spiritual practice, reflection, and intention, we can come home to ourselves—and to each other. This episode is a raw and resonant reflection on why love is fierce, courageous, resilient—and why it’s still the most powerful force we have. Because hate will never win. But love always has a choice.
