In this powerful solo episode of It’s Up There Podcast, Loon sets the record straight about his journey, calling out those who minimize his work in the podcasting game. He details how he built one of the South’s premier brands with no co-host, major sponsorships, and viral interviews—without dragging in a fanbase from music, sports, or industry connects.
Loon also breaks down his past interviews with Adam22, addresses comments about Academics, explains his business approach, and defends the real cultural impact of his platform. He shares receipts about deals with Revolt, his iconic Lil Baby rollout interview, and key moments with Fred Taylor, Brandon Marshall, Maul, Rory, Rich Homie Quan, Benny the Butcher, and more.
The episode also shifts to raw relationship talk: breaking down a viral cheating clip, emotional fallout, and hard truths about moving on when trust is broken. Loon speaks on emotional manipulation, the difference between accountability and extortion in love, and why men and women struggle to truly reconcile after betrayal.
Packed with real game, personal history, and relationship insights, this solo episode is a blueprint for creators, men, and anyone navigating respect, betrayal, and staying solid in your purpose.
