What up Fam? The grill is hot and the mic is on!

Welcome to episode 3 of Faith and Flamez—the backyard BBQ where life's toughest cuts get seasoned into your greatest flavor. Join Neum and Frank, two Big Boys from New Zealand who are too big to fake it, as we cook up real talk about resilience, identity, and the grind that actually matters.

🥩 ON THE MENU:

Lamb Chops. Rosemary. Garlic. That holy trinity of salt, pepper, and olive oil. Cooked low, finished hot, rested proper. Because great flavor takes patience—and respect for the process.

🔥 THE MEAL PREP (0:35):

Frank opens the cooler on his early years—street life, chasing paper, running with the wrong recipe. We get into the moment he realized the hustle was cooking him alive, and why walking away from "success" was the only way to find it.

🔥 COOK IT UP (5:06):

The heat gets turned up. We dig into why your gift makes room for you (but your grind just makes you tired). The difference between a job that pays and work that feeds your soul. Plus: why fatherhood hits different when you're trying to break cycles, not just bread.

🔥 GRIND TIME (12:12):

The plate-up. Practical wisdom on knowing when you're cooked versus when you're still raw. How to tell the difference between your people and your crowd. And why resting the meat is just as important as cooking it—knowing when to step back and let the juices settle.

Welcome to episode 2 of Faith and Flamez. Join hosts Neum and Frank—two "Big Boys" who are too big to fake it—as they honor the giants whose shoulders we stand on.

On the Menu Today:We're firing up Rump Steak on the coals, hitting it with the classic salt and pepper, but adding a secret "Old Head" ingredient: Garlic Powder. We break bread on why the meal tastes better when you acknowledge the hands that helped prepare it.

Cooking Up the Topic: The Paved WayWe are not self-made; we are family-made. In this deep dive, we explore the heat, pressure, and sacrifice our ancestors endured to pave the road we walk on today. We discuss how to move from "Point A to Point Yum" and why we never eat alone—because we bring our history to the table.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The "Point A to Point Yum" philosophy: Respecting the process.

• Neum’s tribute to his mother’s extreme forgiveness (and the time he left her stranded).

• The concept of "Standing on Shoulders" vs. thinking you're self-made.

• Frank’s dad: The ultimate giver (and why Frank had to eat on the floor).

• The hilarious story of the missing swimming pool: "Sorry, are you a genie?"

What up Fam? The grill is hot and the mic is on!

Welcome to the premiere episode of Faith and Flamez. Join hosts Neum and Frank—two "Big Boys" who are too big to fake it—as they fire up the grill and dive deep into real life.

🥩 On the Menu Today:
We’re grilling up massive Rump Steaks seasoned to perfection (salt, pepper, and a little bit of heat).

🔥 Cooking Up the Topic: Identity & Process
Just like a good steak needs time on the coals, real growth takes patience. Neum opens up about his 365-day weight loss journey, why the scale can be a liar, and the hard truth about "falling in love with the process, not the result."

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why you should never trust a skinny chef.
• The danger of tying your identity to a number on a scale.
• How to build processes that last a lifetime (not just 75 days).
• Frank’s hilarious "One Seat Per Butt Cheek" travel rule.
