{"name":"Beyond the Boundaries","short_name":"Beyond the Boundaries","theme_color":"#ffffff","start_url":"/","display":"standalone","background_color":"#fff","description":"Hosted by Vernon Samuels — Olympian, changemaker, and son of a civil rights activist — this show meets you at the intersection of personal power and collective progress. Each episode amplifies raw, real-life stories from young adults navigating the chaos of now — the pressure to perform, the weight of identity, the struggle to belong, and the hunger for something more.\n\nWith voices from the margins and the frontlines — creatives, activists, side-hustlers, and everyday fighters — we explore how to push past barriers, heal generational wounds, and build purpose-driven lives. No fluff. No filter. Just honest conversation, practical insight, and hope grounded in action.\n\nIf you’ve ever felt like you’re too much, not enough, or stuck in between — this space is yours.\n\nBeyond the Boundaries isn’t just a podcast. It’s a movement. It’s proof that progress is possible, that healing is political, and that your story matters.\n\nStep in. Speak up. Go beyond.","icons":[{"src":"https://deow9bq0xqvbj.cloudfront.net/image-logo/20578849/BB_Image3_300x300.png","sizes":"300x300","type":"image/png"}]}
