Ep 4: Microwaves vs. Smokers, The Art of the Wait & Why Frank Can’t Wear Medium | Faith and Flamez

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

Welcome to episode 4 of Faith and Flamez. Join hosts Neum and Frank—two "Big Boys" who are too big to fake it—as they stare down a pig named Steve and talk about the heavy reality of feeling unqualified in a world that demands instant perfection.

On the Menu Today: We’re going bold with Pig Head, cooked low and slow on the Weber. It’s an underrated cut that requires patience, respect, and a lot of salt. We’re massaging the process and giving "Steve" the send-off he deserves.

Cooking Up the Topic: The Imposter on the Grill We live in a world of filters and instant wins, but real growth is messy. Neum opens up about the fear of stepping into a Deputy Principal role with only 4 years of experience—leading teachers who taught him. We’re discussing the difference between "faking it" and having the courage to build your wings on the way down.

In this episode, we discuss:
Why we want the prize without the process (The Microwave Mindset).
Neum’s battle with feeling like a fraud and the courage to stay in the fight.
"Be at the table, not on the menu" – Why you need to show up even when you're scared.
Frank’s rigorous "fitness regime" (spoiler: it involves more walking than running).
