We had the good fortune of connecting with Dedarius Cofer and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dedarius, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
A lot of Times We Allow what’s on tv to raise us and we base our life based on what’s on television. We Think Celebrities Have All The Answers And We Praise Them To Be These Godly Figures When in fact they are human just like us! My goal with my podcast was to show people that anybody can teach you something and just because these upcoming entrepreneurs and entertainers are not famous that doesn’t mean they can’t teach you nothing! We can’t keep recycling the same old people. We already know there life story and there is no platform for upcoming acts ! People only care about once you reach a certain a status and I would like to show people with my platform that there is beauty in the journey to the top.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What I feel sets me apart is that I’m not focused on interviewing celebrities or trying to get a big name for views or talk about the same thing everybody else talk about on their podcast! I’m not looking for a seat at the table , I’m creating my own table I want Put You On Game Podcast To Be In The Same Spotlight As The Breakfast Club , Million Dollars Worth Of Game And Last But Not Least My Favorite And The Best Podcast Out Drink Champs! I Been Through so much on my podcast that I can write a book! My podcast has made me elevate character wise. I have a deeper respect for other business now! I had to deal with people being late all the time , some no calls no shows , and when a person doesn’t show up or communicate I don’t have an episode for that week, so I have to rush to try to find a replacement! There has been plenty of times where I wanted to quit because of the stuff I deal with but the thing that keeps me going is always remembering my why. What’s my purpose? And you can’t let anybody stop you from fulfilling your purpose! No matter how big my platform gets I will always be the voice for the underdogs and upcoming people because there is no platform for upcoming talent!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
People Love Top Golf , Georgia Aquarium , The Trap Museum, And Football Games/ Basketball Games/, Baseball Is Fun To ! We Have Some Good Foot Spots As Well Ruth Chris , Cheesecake Factory , Capital Grille , and Foo de Chao !

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
One Of My Best Friends Who I consider My Brother Xavier Cooper Deserves so much credit and respect because this was his idea and I made his idea come to life! Alot of people don’t know me and him was supposed to do it together but life happens and he is now doing comedy! Another Person I Have To Give Credit To Is My Right Hand , My Partner In Life Kimbra! She helped me get used to being on camera by recording myself everyday when i got home from work! She Also Is The First person I interviewed and Was Co Host On A couple of episodes to. Without both of them you don’t get Put You On Game Podcast!
