    Adjusting to a New Normal: When Stability Disappears
    Apr 20 2026
    What happens when everything you’ve relied on… suddenly changes? In this episode of In the Know with Tony Reeves, I take you back to a pivotal moment in my life—leaving a steady paycheck to start my own law practice. What seemed like a bold and exciting move quickly became something much deeper: a confrontation with uncertainty, fear, and responsibility. From losing the predictability of a direct deposit…
    To realizing no one else was responsible for generating income…
    To the moment it truly hit: “When am I getting paid again?” This episode isn’t just about entrepreneurship—it’s about identity, conditioning, and what it really means to adjust when your “normal” disappears. If you’ve ever:
    • Left a stable job
    • Faced a financial or personal transition
    • Or found yourself in unfamiliar territory
    This conversation will resonate. Because the truth is…
    Your new normal isn’t something you find—it’s something you build.

  • Comfort vs. Risk: The Scariest Decision I Ever Made

    Comfort vs. Risk: The Scariest Decision I Ever Made
    Apr 16 2026
    There comes a point in life where you have to make a decision most people aren’t prepared for…

    Do you hold on to the comfort you worked so hard to achieve—or do you take a risk on yourself?

    In this episode, I walk through one of the most defining moments of my life. After years of struggling just to survive—stretching groceries, living paycheck to paycheck, and dealing with instability—I finally reached a level of comfort through my military career.

    Stable income. Housing covered. Food covered. A lifestyle I never imagined.

    And then I had to decide whether to walk away from all of it.

    This isn’t just a story about career decisions. It’s about fear, control, and what it really means to bet on yourself when you finally have something to lose.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck between staying safe and stepping into something greater, this episode is for you.

  • Proving Myself to Me: The Truth About Motivation

    Proving Myself to Me: The Truth About Motivation
    Apr 13 2026
    What really drives you?

    In this episode, Tony Reeves breaks down a powerful truth most people overlook—motivation isn’t a straight line. It shifts, evolves, and sometimes starts from places we don’t fully understand.

    Drawing from his own journey—from leaving Pine Bluff to attending the University of Tampa—Tony shares how his initial motivation wasn’t about purpose or planning… it was about proving someone wrong. But once he got there, a deeper question emerged:

    “Now what?”

    What follows is a raw and honest reflection on:
    • How motivation can be both positive and negative
    • Why chasing validation can blind you to better opportunities
    • The difference between getting somewhere and building something there
    • How life’s unexpected opportunities can reshape your purpose
    • Why your motivation must evolve if you want to grow


    This episode is a reminder that the journey doesn’t end when you arrive—it changes.
    If you’ve ever found yourself questioning your direction, your purpose, or your next move… this conversation is for you.
