The Grind, The Growth & The Vision | Season 2 Recap

What happens when you stop waiting for the “right time” and just go for it?

In this special recap episode of Born to the Game, hosts Mariah Woodson and Temara Payton take a step back to reflect on the first month of Season 2—what they’ve built, what they’ve learned, and what it really takes to turn an idea into something real.
