"I have been reborn under midnight skies, many a night, eye to eye with the moonlight. Once it dawned on me that we are the constellations that were never lifted or lit enough to be seen with accuracy, I never looked to the skies the same." -  Christina Santi

I have been fortunate enough to meet a lot of great people and keep a lot of great people in my life as well.

Ep. 8 “Mello”

A photo tells a thousand words or at least so I’ve heard. Mello is a master of those words and brings them to life in every picture. Although Mello is a photographer by definition, he embodies the definition of a creative. In the midst of covid, Mello went to Minneapolis to cover the murder of George Floyd. His photos described the tension of the city and how divided America really is through his lens. His journey even led him to Houston for Floyd's funeral and memorial service. Tune into this latest episode as we learn that talent doesn't define purpose. Be sure to follow Mello on Instagram.

As the New York City Marathon was yesterday and congratulations to all the runners, I felt was very important that we talk to a 2x marathoner and a true inspiration in his own right.

“This is no finish line.” is one of Nike's earlier ad campaigns.  44 years later the slogan still stand as I spoke with Uptown's own Hector Espinal. @hecisdead  truly embodied this quote to the fullest. From his very modest childhood beginnings to running around these New York City streets as a teenager. Hec breathes Uptown and learned a way to incorporate his passions into a meaningful career . Tune into this very compelling episode as he tells his story from manhood to fatherhood.  As the co founder of the “We Run Uptown” (@wrucrew)— a run club that turns 8 years old this year. Hector has changed the perspective on health and self esteem in his community. 

Be sure to connect with @wrucrew every Monday for a run. Podcast link in bio.
