Meet Mari & Ty
The start of something magical!
The Visionaries Behind The Long Overdue Podcast
Some stories take time to find their moment — and for Mari and Ty, that moment is now.
The Long Overdue Podcast was born from real conversations between two friends who wanted to create a space where truth, growth, and perspective could be shared freely. What started as casual talks about life, business, culture, and community has grown into a powerful platform that challenges narratives, celebrates authenticity, and encourages open dialogue about topics most people only discuss behind closed doors.

Who They Are
Mari, also known as Money_da_Barber, is a proud Cuban-American lesbian, talented recording artist, and highly respected barber known for her artistry, precision, and bold creative energy. Her life experiences and fearless authenticity bring both depth and raw honesty to the conversations she leads.
Ty, also known as Ty-Blue, is a Jamaican-American health insurance agent and aspiring motivational coach whose thoughtful approach, discipline, and heart for personal growth give the show its steady, grounded tone. Together, they balance passion with perspective — creating a space that’s both real and relatable.

How It Began
Mari and Ty first connected through a shared passion for creativity, growth, and genuine conversation. Both saw a gap in the media space — a lack of real, unfiltered dialogue among young men and women navigating life, identity, and success in today’s world.
Instead of waiting for that platform to appear, they built it themselves.
With a few microphones, a shared vision, and a drive to make their voices heard, The Long Overdue Podcast began as a small project — but quickly gained traction for its authenticity. Each episode feels less like an interview and more like being invited into a conversation that matters.

What They’re Building
Today, Mari and Ty are working to turn The Long Overdue Podcast into something bigger than a show — they’re building a movement of conversation and connection. Their goal is to inspire people to think differently, talk honestly, and grow intentionally.
They’re exploring collaborations with other creators, introducing video episodes for visual storytelling, and developing new segments that spotlight entrepreneurs, athletes, and everyday people with extraordinary journeys.
Through their partnership with SDP Imagery, the podcast continues to evolve — with professional production, visual storytelling, and a growing online presence that reflects their shared mission: to amplify voices that deserve to be heard.
Why It Matters
In a world full of noise, The Long Overdue Podcast stands out by choosing depth over hype. Mari and Ty aren’t afraid to ask the questions that matter — and they remind their audience that growth, healing, and understanding all begin with a real conversation.
This isn’t just another podcast. It’s a reminder that some conversations are worth the wait — and the truth is often long overdue.
