What happens when power is ignored, abused, or taken back? In this episode, we break down the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—a Maryland man sent to a Salvadoran mega-prison despite a court ruling protecting him—and the Trump administration’s outright refusal to comply with a Supreme Court order. Meanwhile, Puerto Rico faces yet another massive blackout, leaving millions without power and prompting artists like Bad Bunny to speak out. And at Coachella, Latino artists are showing up stronger than ever, reclaiming the spotlight on one of music’s biggest stages. From government defiance to cultural power moves, we explore what resistance looks like across courts, islands, and festival stages.

Success isn’t built in the spotlight—it’s forged in the quiet, uncelebrated grind. In this episode, we dive into the reality of doing the work day in and day out with no immediate results. Kevin Hart talks about how the hardest part of success is showing up every day, even when it feels like nothing is happening. But that’s the price of greatness—patience, discipline, and trust in the process. Because when the moment finally comes, the euphoria of achievement will always outweigh the pain it took to get there. Are you willing to put in the work when no one is watching?
