Pabs Pod

This episode is in Spanish watch it on youtube for the subtitles, today we're accompanied by one if not the most important persons in my life; my Grandma! Gladys was a professional basketball player for Bogota, a teacher, an artist, the first person that taught me how to be creative and so much more than words can describe. She tells us about her home life, which one of her parents was more strict, living with 13 brothers and sisters my grandma was one of the youngest who is still around. Gladys practically raised me for the first years of my life since my parents both worked from morning to late night and has always made me feel like a prince. When I moved to the states it was tough on her the most, losing her grandson she pleated with my mother to let me stay but my mom would tell her it I was her son and she had to be the one to raise me. This is very similar to how my mom has been taking care of my son funny enough this week I move out so I'm sure it will be hard on her as well not living in the same house but at least I'm not moving out of the country. My grandma tells us what she's proud of what she regrets and wishes she had did but reminds us that it all happened for a reason. I'm really proud of this episode she is so insightful and gives some great advice for anyone that has creative blocks or doubts themselves. We get into vices, Marijuana, Drinking etc.. Recalling my mental breakdown she tells me her perspective and how she didn't recognize me during that time. There's so much to unpack on this episode I cry for the first time in a longtime so thank you for allowing me to be vulnerable and show you different sides of myself that make me..me. This episode will be cherished for the rest of time I'm hoping my grandchildren will see it and see how amazing my grandma was and all my future generations, she makes a nice shoutout at the end to all our loved ones. Thank you for listening, watching and supporting my business it's been a slow grind but we're chipping away at it every day. Remember to not be ashamed of yourself and keep doing what you love.

Welcome back to the PDP my personal podcast thank you so much to everyone that listens this is my second SOLO episode first time doing it on camera so if you have the time I suggest you watch on YouTube as well it's pretty funny. I'm very vulnerable on here so I would appreciate everything I say to not be used against me lol. On this episode I really take the time to take a deep breath and summarize all the big changes happening in my life especially since the start of this podcast. I started a new job that I enjoy very much (even thought the ultimate goal is to be successfully self employed) it's so different from my previous job building airplane parts. The work I do now actually relates to my passion and is helping me become an overall better designer. We get into how I got this job, the parts that I hated about my last job and previous jobs delivering food all over Chicago. I address my change in appearance, new glasses, new teeth, new hair I guess whenever I feel like my environment is changing I change my appearance. Slight Valentines Day talk, find out what I did with my beloved, I also talk about my other podcast USRFRNDLY and the difference between that and this. I address my thoughts on cannabis and what I plan to do about it in these coming months. I give all the glory to god he continues to bless me and I hope to share those blessings with those around me. Thank you for listening I know there's other mindless content you could be consuming at the moment so the fact that your'e here lights a fire in my heart to continue to give you the best content I can produce. I'm only improving and for those who are waiting on merch be patient this next collection will blow your minds.

Welcome back! It's 2023 first pod of the year let's get it! This episode was recorded back in November but with all the changes in my life it's been hard for me to edit these as much as i'd like but I'm back to it thank you for your patience. I sat down with my friend Uriel the founder of Tu Madre Clothing we get into what it's like being a professional art director, how he got to the position he's in now, his new baby! and the origins of his clothing brand "TU MADRE". Blast from the past we remember the hit MTV show that gave thousands of dollars to people for making fun of moms, and what inspired his mascot Ricky. Uriel speaks on his supportive parents and how he wants to travel out of the country more, if you're in Mexico show this man a good time!   

A lot of gems in this episode for all the aspiring designers out there, we even talked about the first pop up we met at and how it got a little freaky towards the end. Uriel and I have worked a couple of events together and he's an amazing illustrator with a great eye for design.
