    When these actors are on set and on-screen, they make it look easy with their portrayals. But spaces like these allows us to gather insight into how much effort these actors truly put into these portrayals. You get to see the actor’s psyche, process, and approach to how they play a character, and we also get to see just how deeply they immerse “themselves” into their characters.

    Well thank you for pulling in because we felt that character like no other! Ghost will forever be my greatest character just like Nemo Brown! You guys have life and persona into those characters forever! Great acting skills and dedication!

    I'm on 52:24 I had to quickly pause because... I have NEVER seen that camera angle on any podcast. This episode is so transcendental it's like we're actually watching something beyond just 4 men talking. And for the director to have the presence of mind to take this angle in order to emphasise the uniqueness of this moment is unreal. That camera shot speaks volumes to the energy and spirit that was in that room.

    THIS INTERVIEW has made me actually SEE Omari in a COMPLETELY different light! I honestly don’t think ANY OTHER INTERVIEWERS could’ve been quiet long enough to actually let him SPEAK, so that we could’ve gotten to KNOW him on such a deep level! WOW… Just WOW!!!! 🤯
    One of THE BEST interviews that I’ve EVER SEEN… BOTTOM LINE! Great questions and even better answers!! Omari, I admire you FOR REAL. 🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
    Ryan, Fred and Channing… Undeniable chemistry! Really smart, thoughtful and knowledgeable questions. I love that y’all don’t interrupt your guests. Y’all did your THING 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

    EXTRAORDINARY interview. Omari's a brilliant guy. I caught this interview randomly last week.

    1:06:30 this is actually undeniable, establishing that attentive reception while talking to someone who needs to listen but feels like they don’t need to listen is actually imperative. Especially when that first conversation is hits and now you have their attention every moment going forward

    This brotha hit it hard in Power. My favorite scene was when Ghost schooled kannon son when he came for him. Ghost turn the tables and took the gun from him and told him , “Your Not Built For This.” He also knew that Kannon had put his son up to this to show loyalty. Ghost gave him the opportunity to walk away without killing him. Thx you Pivot for bringing this🙏🏾☝🏾

  • @Theshamanomar
    @Theshamanomar 2 ปีที่แล้ว +34

    Amazing convo. Omari is amazing. One of the reasons I love this pod is because you have a group of true Alphas able to have real convos. This is what the “20 something’s” and younger are lacking.
    More now than ever the media and powers that be are raising the voices of lesser men to make that be the example of a “man” and especially black men. The young men today need to watch this as an example of who to become.
    There is a difference between being sensitive and soft, between having difficult experiences and being a victim, etc.
    Omari’s clearly on the same level/vibe. Perfect example that inner reflection brings great wisdom.

    Facts I resonate with this heavily at 33:51 being a godly African American man apart of Omega Psi Phi married to a European woman. A lot of layers, but I know for me as an individual, my wife has been a gift and a blessing even through all the ups and downs. It is facts that we need everybody on the team. There is a lot of knowledge and wisdom all around.

    His self awareness is and confidence is intoxicating. It took me a long time to look myself in the face and say I'm different and that's okay. We are all different than what's expected of us but better in our own way. And that awareness is what creates our position in the world. Beautiful.

    • @jordyntaylor877
      @jordyntaylor877 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If he's giving you facts then is it really dodging the question OR is He giving you an answer that isn't generic, but rather something organic to think about and see the layers to the answer? Omari's mind is intelligently receiving the question and statements and quickly processing them. The receiver (Omari) of the questions is answering them in the way that he is, is because of having a wide perspective and critically analytical. So Omari's, answer is then given from all aspects of his perspective with drawing examples, analogies, facts, truth, candid spiritual humility for bring clarity, understanding and poetically to those he's speak to because theres not one way of answering in a truly engaging dialogue . Omari's nature is poetic so, could that be why it seems "smooth" to you? I'm just leaving you with my perspective to reflect on if you choose.

    • @T23-u5x
      @T23-u5x 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well… I’ll say this… Stringer Bell was based off of a real person/people and real actual documented happenings in Baltimore. Ghost is a totally fictional character inspired by people like Stringer Bell and others like him everywhere.
