About this listen

hosted by brian b. turner, a father, creator, and founder of BBT APPAREL & heybbt.com.

the always up podcast is for those rebuilding after the storm.
the ones who lost it all, or almost did, but kept showing up anyway.

this isn’t about hustle. it’s about healing.
not about noise, but what’s left when the noise fades.

real stories. real reflections.
raw conversations on alignment, faith, failure, family… and the rebuild.

if you’re still in it, you’re not alone.

  • THE COLD WORLD

    THE COLD WORLD
    Sep 28 2025

    Merchant cash advances look like lifelines, but they’re traps built for desperation. In this episode we pull back the curtain on how MCA loans really work, why they’re so easy to get, and the power behind them that banks and the SBA never talk about.

    A cold look at a system that feeds on small businesses and the builders who keep going anyway.

  • THE ASK

    THE ASK
    Sep 21 2025

    This episode dives into the weight of asking for help, the pride it costs, the silence it reveals, and the unexpected truths that come back with every yes and no. It’s less about money, more about clarity, and how the hardest lessons show up in the toughest seasons.

    Stay tuned for what comes next.

  • THE BORROW

    THE BORROW
    Sep 14 2025

    Most people borrow because they are scared.
    I am borrowing because I refused to stop building.

    This episode is not about the money. It is about the pride, the hesitation, the embarrassing rehearsals, and the weight of asking for help when you have built your life on being the one who helps others. I share what those days felt like, the lessons I learned, and why survival is not weakness but strategy.

    At the end, I line up the words, thumb over the send button, and freeze. That is where we pick up next time in Episode 7: The Ask.
