My Home is Special

Ep 32: On Horseback - Murdock's Home

You don’t expect to see horses trotting through the streets of Chicago—but Murdock (the man with no first name), the founder of the Broken Arrow Horseback Riding Club, is changing that. With a whole lot of passion, Murdock shares how he got into riding, built a tight-knit Black cowboy community, and turned heads all over the city. We’ve known each other nearly 20 years, and it’s a joy to finally showcase his story and the beautiful energy he brings to my home city!

Ep 31: Story Time - Grand Theft Auto?

Ever been out-negotiated by your own kid? In this Father's Day-inspired solo episode, Keith shares a hilarious and heartwarming story from over a decade ago, when his oldest son used corporate-style tactics to plead for a new video game. What started as a funny parenting moment turned out to be a glimpse of a budding skillset that’s now shaping his son's career. If you're a parent, you'll definitely relate—and laugh!

Ep 30: The Wall - Statik's home

This week, I’m talking with Rahamaan Statik—an artist whose work I’ve admired long before we ever met. Though we've only crossed paths in person a couple times, he welcomed me into his world to talk about a home that's anything but traditional: the Wall. From classical fine art training to projects that cover massive graffiti walls, Statik's story bridges street and studio in a way that’s uniquely powerful. What does it mean to call a wall home? You’ll want to hear this one.

Ep 29: Story time - Black student in Boston

This week’s mini-episode is a story I told a while back about being a Black college student in Boston—a city that, at the time, had a reputation. And yeah... my first experiences definitely lived up to it. But then something unexpected happened, and taught me a lesson. This one’s about assumptions, surprises, and learning not to jump to conclusions.

Ep 28: The Stoop - Lily Be's home

This week’s guest is the incomparable Lily Be—storyteller, teacher, host, and all-around powerhouse. I’ve known Lily for years, and every time I see her on the mic, I’m blown away by how she commands a room. The best part? You never know what kind of story she’s going to tell. In this episode, we dig into what keeps her coming back to the stage and why storytelling means so much to her.
Lily can be found at https://www.stoopstylestories.com/ and through search of “Lily Be” on YouTube.  We also mention the Risk podcast in this episode

Ep 27: Story time - Stuck in a volcano

In this mini episode, I'm taking you to my second home—on the mic at Grown Folks Stories—where I share what should've been a dreamy first trip to Hawaii. Spoiler: things did not go as planned. Enjoy an unforgettable (and very real) travel tale that starts in paradise but takes a wild detour.

Ep 26: The Shark Tank - Aaron's home

Aaron is a poet, founder, investor, and artist—someone who moves effortlessly between the worlds of creativity and entrepreneurship. From the poetry slam stage to the startup pitch room, he shows how storytelling and presence can be powerful tools in any arena. We talk about unexpected overlaps between art and business, and how the skills you build in one space can prepare you for totally different challenges. Aaron’s one of those friends who inspires by simply being himself, always bringing energy and intention to every room he enters.

UPDATE: A new plan and Story Time

After looking at the content I want to share in the weeks ahead, I decided to make a change to the publication schedule for the pod.  I also have some content that I want to share about *my* home.  In this episode, I'll update you on the plan and share the first of (hopefully) many stories to come.
If you have feedback on this new approach, please hit me up at keith@kbevphoto.com or DM me @KBevPhoto on IG.
Enjoy!

Ep 25: The Blue Grass - Dolio's Home

You’ve never heard a sound like this Gangstagrasss before and in this episode I talk with a longtime friend, Dolio, about its origins.  After years of denying that he was an artist, one night in NYC caused a chain reaction that created a multi-decade career as a musician.  I’m excited to share this one as I continue looking for interesting guests for you to enjoy!

Five years in, his passion hasn’t wavered, and he still lights up when he sees new fans discovering what he’s created.
