7: When Brothers Build Together | The Networking Code | Clifton Addison & Woody Remy

In this episode of The Blessed Code™️, Melvin Rodriguez sits down with two visionaries - Clifton Addison and Woody Remy, founders of Urban Golf Weekend, the largest Black golf experience in the world. What started as a dream has now become a grassroots movement for connection, elevation, and legacy.

From breaking real estate deals on the course to creating space for Black men to rest, reset, and grow - Cliff and Woody are transforming how networking, wellness, and brotherhood intersect.

Together, they unpack:

• Why golf is more than a game - it’s access, exposure, and a mindset

• What happens when Black men support each other’s visions with faith and action

• How Elevation was born to create safe spaces for Black men to heal and connect

• The role of rest, faith, and clarity in sustainable success
