Wretched Threads comes to Catanation Studios.

James Jordan shares about how he began his clothing line that was inspired by his surroundings as well as the message he gives out to San Diego. James also gets personal as he shares how he overcame alcohol, drugs, and even homelessness throughout his journey.

This podcast wouldn't have happened without the help of Ady Spellman, a returning guest who introduced me to James, and she joins me on this podcast as a co-host for this show.

Melody De Los Cobos shares about the start of her art and some of her most recent accomplishments here on Catanation Studios.

Melody got massive inspiration from Vincent van Gogh growing up, as you could see through some of her work. In this podcast we learn about some of the struggles Melody had gone through with mental health, anxiety, and even a stroke. She shares about how she is continuing her path as an artist here in San Diego, while also learning living in Temecula.

To me and many others, Melody is a true inspiration. I can't wait for you all to here about all the great thing she's doing.

Artist, muralist, and good friend from a while back, Josue Baltezar comes to Catanation Studios.

Josue is a passionate artist who got a big break during the pandemic. Josue has been given the chance to teach art to other upcoming artists, and he has even created incredible murals in San Diego, one of which was at his own High School. Josue and I met through Cafeina, and its so cool to see how far we both came.

I can't wait for what next project Josue will be doing next, but as he says in this podcast, stay tuned!

Catanation Studios opens the doors yet again with unheard footage from previous podcasts, as I introduce Catanation UNCUT 4!

We hear how badly I am with people's names my first time meeting people, and even meeting guests for the first time, such as Dan Loney and see how nervous I was meeting people back in Season 1.

Behind the scenes you see how easy it is to just lay back and chit chat with your guests, which is what you get when I play back conversations with Andrew Benavides & Magely Martinez.

Also, we hear a great story from Edith Sanchez Cruz, and her early start from graduating high school as a pregnant woman and the journey to where she is now.

A reunion of sorts, many of you remember Ady Spellman back in Season 2, but now she comes back to Season 6, and we are so excited as so much has happened since the last time we spoke.

Ady has got me the opportunity to continue photography, and also maintain her small business of Ady Lovegood's Ally, as well as Creatures Inc. By Ady. Ady even talks about her time at Monsterpalooza as well as other pop-up and phtoshoots coming her way. 

While we talk about the past, we talk about the future and why Ady will continue to pursue. It is very exciting to reach out to a previous guest and see how much the times have changed for the better.

A clear definition of a small world. Photographer and bartender Diego Luna comes to Catanation Studios after multiple paths that have been crossed for us.

Diego shares about how the process goes into having a vision of how he creates images and photography. In the interview we even share about our love of Pro Wrestling as well as our experience going to WrestleMania 39, but for me the highlight of hearing this podcast is hearing myself and Diego share about our struggles with mental health and process how we work for our love of what we do, and even how much we've inspired each other.

Take a listen at this podcast, and I dare you all not to laugh once on this podcast.

We have officially closed off Season 5 of Catanation Studios, and we have a podcast that has been anticipated since the show's existence.

Miriam Perez-Rodriquez comes to the show to tell us about her involvement in City Heights, as well as share about her fellow promotoras and the Vecinos De City Heights. The biggest take away from this story is hearing a bit of behind the scenes of why she loves to create memories for herself, her community, and most importantly her family.

Some who could relate a lot with her is our Guest Co-Host for the show, Luz Maria Clayton, who has been a long time friend for the show, and comes to talk with us about how much Miriam has been a true helpful and supportive friend.

The story we tell here is sharing that hope of finding great friends in life that help you in the right time. To Miriam and Luz, if you read this, just thank you for being great friends, and thank you for being a great team, I wouldn't be more inspired without you both.

With this podcast being the final episode of the Season, the final announcements set will set  what the future holds for Catanation Studios, and I am beyond stoked for Season 6.
