In this powerful season finale hosts DeDe Brown and Jon Gist sit down with media disruptor and creative multi-hyphenate OJ Williams, founder of The Knockturnal to talk how he built outlet from the ground up; why diversifying revenue streams is essential for media survival; the importance of community, mentorship, and so much more.

From starting out at The Source at just 15 years old to launching his own editorial and lifestyle brand, OJ gets candid about his journey through journalism, talent management, casting, A&R, and modeling. He reflects on wins, misses (including underestimating Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry 👀), and what it really means to stand on business—especially as a Black creative.

Whether you're an aspiring journalist, entrepreneur, or just someone who values culture and creativity, this episode is filled with gems on perseverance, pivoting, and purpose.
