Six years later, 614 Things is back.In this Season 2 premiere, I reflect on growth, joy, power, and the work it takes to build the life you want. From leaving nightlife to redefining fun, committing to creativity, and stepping into what I call “yacht-level work,” this episode is a soft but intentional reset.This season is about exploration—of New York City, creativity, aging, joy, and ambition—and I’m inviting you along for the ride.✨ Choose fun✨ Follow the spark✨ Do the workWelcome to Season Two.0:00 – Welcome BackSix years later and the return of 614 Things1:00 – Intentions for Season TwoGrowth, exploration, and inviting listeners along for the journey2:00 – Choosing Joy Out LoudWhy fun and softness matter more than ever4:00 – Leaving Nightlife & Redefining RestBurnout, Costa Rica, and choosing sleep as joy6:30 – A Different New Year’s EveRituals, solitude, and intentional living7:45 – Power as the Word for the YearClaiming confidence and personal agency9:00 – Creative Focus for the Year AheadPlays, novels, art, and collaboration11:00 – Yacht-Level WorkMatching effort to the life you want12:45 – Closing ReflectionsChoosing fun, following the spark, and moving forward togetherFollow & connect with me:📸 Instagram: @djsj614 🎵 TikTok: @djsj_614Support the show:💬 Share this episode⭐ Rate & review on your podcast platform📲 Send it to someone who needs a little permission to choose joy

Welcome to my VERY drunk Day 2 & 3 New Orleans experience with my befri, Judea. We begin our day at the theater, drunk, schmooze our way onto a balcony, drunk, visit Cafe Du Monde, kinda drunk and more! Judea also comes to the realization that I only invited her on this trip to be my personal photographer…awkward.
