This episode is special, I sat down with event planner Dean Spence 1/4 of Upscale Entertainment to talk about how he got into the game of planning events and how the culture in CT has changed and helped him come up in the game. "Peace, love and bliss" is his motto and it comes out through his work. We shot in SoulBaila in Hartford, CT on Wethersfield Ave where he hosts the hottest brunch every Sunday.

In this episode I sat down with 2 of my longest friends Andrew Johnson who you guys know and newcomer to the show Nelson Veras. We talked about what we're thankful for this year. Then the conversation took a turn for signs the universe may be showing us and how we can determine our own paths. Perspective is key and we must always have a sense of positivity when trying to find out where our life is going.

I sat down with 1/4 of Upscale Entertainment and your favorite Budget Babe Chellis Allen to discuss her journey on how she became a financial consultant and her passion for educating others on how to save money while living a comfortable lifestyle. As young adults we start to realize the importance of work life balance but struggle finding that balance. A very important part of that is your funds. Chellis has found a way to save and live comfortably. I mean she doesn't have credit card debt so this is someone I'd want advice from!

In today's episode we tackle one of the most recent debates in hip hop and music, who is the better artist J Cole or Drake? We take a deep dive into what is the best way to find success, staying true to your craft and producing quality or always swinging for the fences and producing quantity? The reality is there is no right or wrong way however your feelings and morals may come into question when picking a side.

When I first thought of this podcast I didn't want to just tell my story but I also wanted to promote and tell other people's stories. So I decided to kick off Entrepreneur Thursday's where I take an entrepreneur and promote their business. I sat down with my best friend Makiah Jones, the genius behind the business that is Kitty's Home Decor. She takes pride in making your house a home. Listen to her journey and how she got to where she is today.

Very often when we're chasing a dream or working towards something we take ownership of something that is not yet ours. We feel entitled to something we haven't yet deserved, instead of living in the moment and appreciating the journey. In this episode we talk about the concept of enjoying your journey and not feeling entitled to something that is not yet yours.

This episode is beyond special to me. Last week I put my 2 weeks notice in and decided to go back to chasing my dream of being a professional soccer player. It wasn't easy. I'm venturing back into the unknown. But it feels right. It's where I belong. Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith and trust that you'll land on your feet. This one is for everyone who wants to make a change in life and needs a little extra push.

In this episode I sit down with one of the best CT basketball players to ever grace the court to talk about his past, present and future within the game and how he plans to continue giving back and build up his community.

We often question why we're here? What am I doing? Or where am I going? People don't realize the answer to those questions often change. We're ganna chop it up today about our purposes and we have special guest and new father Andrew Johnson on the episode as well as music artist Brandon Serafino.
