My father is 98 years young. Before the Army, before 25 years as an auto mechanic for the Postal Service, he led his own jazz band — and in 1943 he shared a stage with Ray Charles at the South Street Casino in Orlando.

Nobody outside our family knew that story until this year.

This episode is about what it means to be a witness. Lyrie Duhart carried the story of the Jones family for eight decades because nobody else wrote it down. At 98 he set it down himself in his debut, The Joneses.

Somebody in your life saw something nobody recorded. Ask them. Record the answer.

My father takes the stage on day two of the Still Standing Summit. August 13–15. Free.

One woman. Born in a back room in McComb, Mississippi, in 1931. Written off by everyone around her — and never finished. Today, as we walk, I tell you about Naomi — the woman my 96-years-young mother wrote into a novel — and the truth underneath her: a person is never finished while there's still breath in them. Naomi Good is out now, and my mother is hand-signing the first fifty copies herself — signed, numbered, and limited. Find the signed copies at the link in my bio, One woman.

Two weeks ago, my mother became a published author at 96 years young. One week ago, my father joined her at 98. On today's walk, I talk about carrying — the stories we hold for years before we set them down, and why the moment to set yours down is never behind you. Naomi Good by Gladys Duhart and The Joneses by Lyrie Duhart are both on Amazon now.

Today is Father's Day — and today my father, Lyrie Duhart, becomes a published author at 98 years young. In this episode I walk you through what it means to release a debut novel nearly a century into a life: the jazz years, the Army, the decades of work, and the story he carried the whole time. The Joneses is here. So is my mother's debut, Naomi Good. Two parents, two books, one family still standing. A Father's Day reflection on why it is never, ever too late to tell the story you were meant to tell.

Today is a glory day. My mother, Gladys Duhart, 96 years young, releases her debut novel — Naomi Good, a story of faith, family, and grace. The ebook is live on Amazon today. In this special launch-morning walk, I share what the book is really about: a woman who falls, refuses to let her past be the final word, and rises. The same gospel I preach on this walk every day. It is never too late. My mother is the proof. Walk with me, then go download the Naomi Good ebook — live today. Paperback and signed copies coming soon.

Two weeks out, and everything changes. On June 14, George's mother, Gladys Duhart, becomes a published author at 96 years young with her debut novel, Naomi Good. One week later, on Father's Day, June 21, his father, Lyrie Duhart - a jazzman who played with Ray Charles in 1943, an Army veteran, soon to turn 99 - releases his first book, The Joneses.

In this walk, George counts down to both launches and carries one truth: you are never too old, never too late, to begin the thing God placed in your heart. Two elders. Two debut books. One bloodline still standing.

Today is Mother's Day. Today my mom Gladys Duhart 

becomes a published author at 96 years young.

Mom was born in 1930 in McComb, Mississippi. She 

left at 18 for East Hartford, Connecticut. She 

married my father Lyrie in 1950. They have been 

married for over 75 years. They raised five 

children.

A few years ago, mom was sitting in a nursing home 

when she told me God spoke to her. He said she 

had stories left to tell. So mom started talking. 

I started writing. Page by page, a novel emerged.

The book is called Naomi Good. It is faith-based 

fiction grounded in the real Mississippi mom 

remembers. A Black woman in 1931 rural Mississippi 

who refuses to disappear.

Today, on Mother's Day, the book is real.

In this episode, I share mom's story, the story 

of Naomi Good, and the moment family came through 

first when my cousin Karen reserved the very 

first signed copy.

Mom is hand-signing the first 50 paperback copies 

herself. When the 50 are gone, the signed edition 

closes forever.

The bigger message for every Champion carrying a 

story they haven't put on the page yet: the page 

is still empty. You are still allowed to fill it.

#WhileYouWalk

This week on Food for Thought While You Walk, Chef George K. Duhart 

steps back from the recipes to talk about something that's been on 

his heart all week.

Mom turned 96 this weekend. Dad is 98, turning 99 in September. 

Both have stories that have lived inside them for decades. And 

this year, both of those stories are becoming books.

In this episode, Chef George talks about stewardship. Stewardship 

of money. Stewardship of food. And stewardship of story — the 

currency that matters more than money. The wealth that disappears 

when we don't capture it.

What story is your family carrying right now that needs to be 

written down, recorded, or asked about? Don't wait. The time to 

ask is now.

Food for Thought While You Walk.

Fired Up. God Bless. Peace Out.

— Chef George K. Duhart

Last year everything stopped. George K. Duhart's parents ended up in a nursing home. The world got quiet. In that stillness God moved. Three books were born in that season. His mother Gladys Duhart's novel. His father Lyrie Duhart's book. And Buried Riches by George K. Duhart.

In this episode George breaks down what happens when God forces you to be still and why your most painful seasons produce your most powerful legacy. Buried Riches drops this week. Watch every platform for the announcement.

TAGS: Buried Riches, Black wealth, Black history, George Duhart, faith, legacy, Be Still, walking challenge, Food for Thought, generational wealth

Before your parents were born, Black wealth existed on a scale most people never learned about in school. It was built. It was buried. It was taken.

In this episode, George K. Duhart breaks down why understanding that history is the first step toward building real wealth today. From the kingdoms of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai to the labor that built America without a single paycheck, the truth is all here.

This is not a history lesson. This is your blueprint.

Buried Riches, the new book from George K. Duhart, is available now. Grab your free Chapter 1 and the complete ebook at GeorgeGeesMediaNetwork.com.

Walk with purpose. Build with intention. Leave a legacy that lasts.

Last week we talked about the work nobody sees. This week we explore the discipline required to finish what we start.

Completion transforms effort into impact. Finishing meaningful work requires patience, clarity, and responsibility.

The Work Nobody Sees

In this episode of Food for Thought While You Walk, George K. Duhart reflects on a powerful truth about discipline, preparation, and purpose.

As the final stages of his upcoming book Buried Riches come together, George shares a deeper lesson about the unseen work that happens long before the world recognizes the finished result.

Most people see the outcome.

Very few see the quiet discipline, learning, reflection, and persistence that shape the journey.

This episode explores why the work done in silence often becomes the foundation for meaningful impact.

George also shares the deeper purpose behind writing Buried Riches: helping the next generation understand history clearly so they can build a wiser future.

Readiness strengthens foundation, clarity sharpens direction, and disciplined preparation creates lasting impact. A steady walk centered on stewardship and alignment.

In this episode of Food for Thought While You Walk Podcast, Chef George reflects on how memory shapes direction and how shared understanding strengthens future generations. Clear knowledge builds confidence, consistent action builds stability, and stability builds legacy. A steady walk focused on preparation, stewardship, and passing wisdom forward.
