Join us this week as Petey talks about his most recent comedy central gig, and has a quick conversation with Alex Carabaño, the co-owner of V-spot, about: being a "Bronx Vegan", how he has stayed in business for 12 years, and balancing his life out with his comedy career.

Alex is a friendly guy with a passion for food, and is a talented comedian. Starting a business isn't easy, ever, starting a restaurant and then keeping it open for over 12 years, is a whole other level of grinding. This guy has been through a lot of personal changes, ranging from his diet to not drinking alcohol.

It was a fun conversation that we wish had lasted longer, but for now, here is a quick look at Alex Carabaño

Join us this week as Petey discusses: risk, classic cars, racing motorcycles, crashing, and the experiences of building a private car club, with Michael Prichinello of Classic Car Club of Manhattan

The year was 2005, the concept of internet subscription services were just beginning to take root in our society. Along with those roots, came new economic trends, like the preference of experiences, over ownership. The Classic Car Club saw this, and became a part of a wave of new innovative business models, that would prove themselves to be very profitable.

Risk, is a concept that Mike has consistently familiarized himself with, from being an entrepreneur, to racing motorcycles, to taking on personal projects that can help his business grow. Along with success, disappointments also do happen, but as he says “My second favorite thing in life is those huge disappointments, because if you don’t have those, then you don’t have the big highs”. He was an extremely open, mad cool, and friendly person that we are proud to know, just good vibes all around, and that is all reflected in this incredible club that he co-founded.

Join us this week as Petey discusses entrepreneurship with Kerby of KerbysCups! 

Grind, Hustle, and Dedication, are all buzz words that surround an entrepreneurs every waking moment. They are powerful words, that have sadly been over commercialized in our society to sell products. So instead, Kerby simply lives them. 7 years ago he started selling “Hood Daiquiris” to make ends meet. He never expected to do this for a living, but as he puts it in the episode, sometimes the grind finds you. He ended up doubling down and creating something larger than himself, larger than his product, it's a brand. His name, carries weight, and he works hard at keeping it in check. In the episode Petey and Kerby also discuss different actors, and public figures that messed their names up, in some of the worst ways possible, and how people should learn from those mistakes.

Kerby is an inspiration to us all, someone that knows the true definition of hard work, and personally knows the humility that success requires of you. If you are someone looking to get out of a rough spot, someone that is trying to start a business, or someone that simply wants to create a name for themselves, but don’t feel like you know what direction to turn to yet, this episode’s for you.
