Episode 22

New Year, New Mission: A Veteran’s Blueprint for Healing & Wealth

Published on: 28th December, 2025

In this powerful end-of-year episode of Black Men Sundays, host Corie Sylvester Murray sits down with J.R. McIntyre, aka ThaHoodMotiv8tor—a 14-year U.S. combat veteran, motivational speaker, life coach, author, and doctoral candidate.

J.R. opens up about transitioning from military life, confronting PTSD, surviving multiple suicide attempts, and learning how to heal not just himself—but his children. He shares why emotional intelligence is essential for veterans and Black men, how faith guided him through failure, and what it really takes to turn your God-given gift into a sustainable business.

From setting firm prices and building multiple income streams to breaking generational trauma and preparing for the new year, this episode is a masterclass in mental health, purpose, and generational wealth.

This conversation isn’t just motivation—it’s a mission briefing for 2026.
