In this episode of the Paso Robles Podcast, I sit down with Aracely Alvarez — someone I invited on the show because I see her in motion, on a journey of her own.

As I move through life, I’m drawn to people who are growing, evolving, and stepping into something bigger than they realize. Sometimes being part of someone’s story is as simple as sharing a moment, a conversation, or a space — and realizing later that it mattered.

This conversation touches on self-reflection, personal development, and a bit of philosophy — how we grow, how we see ourselves, and how we leave quiet marks on each other’s lives without always knowing it.

Jorge Jimenez returns to the Paso Robles Podcast for a deeper conversation around self-expression, personal style, and what it truly means to be seen.

Known on Instagram as @famemakers, Jorge shares how his side business helping people develop their personal style has become one of the most fulfilling parts of his work. We talk about how style goes beyond clothing — it’s about confidence, identity, culture, and giving yourself permission to show up fully as who you are.

This episode explores why helping others feel seen is so powerful, how personal styling can shift the way people move through the world, and why authenticity matters more than trends. It’s an honest conversation about growth, presence, and embracing your individuality.

If you’ve ever struggled with confidence, visibility, or self-expression, this episode will resonate.

In this episode of the Paso Robles Podcast, I sit down with the owners and operators of Agape Coffee House 8:39 — one of Paso’s newest and most exciting breakfast and Mexican-fusion restaurants. Located on Riverside Avenue, Agape has quickly become a local favorite for their chilaquiles, tortas, guava French toast, churro crepes, and their mission-driven approach to hospitality.

Oscar and Leo bring over 20 years of restaurant experience, from cooking to managing to developing deep community ties. Their story is rooted in family, faith, and the desire to create a place where guests feel welcomed, cared for, and fed with intention.

We talk about how Agape 8:39 began, the meaning behind their name and mission, the journey through the restaurant industry, the food they love sharing with Paso Robles, and why building relationships with their guests has always been at the center of what they do.

Agape is open Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. — closed on Sundays.

In this episode of the Paso Robles Podcast, we sit down with three amazing guests who are each making a powerful impact on the Central Coast: Rosie Bruiser (@rosiebruiser), and the owners of Primal House, Alyssa Leal and Bud Cole (@primalhousepaso).

Primal House is more than a butcher shop — it’s a curated food, craft, and community space rooted in generational heritage. Bud is a fourth-generation cattle rancher, and Alyssa comes from a family with deep agricultural ties. Together, they’ve created a place that blends old-world butchery with artisanal classes, a community farmers market, curated eats, and a vision that celebrates craftsmanship and local connection.

We talk about the origin of Primal House, their philosophy on quality and heritage, what it means to build something truly unique in Paso Robles, and the challenges and rewards of launching a destination rooted in tradition and local pride.

We’re also joined by Rosie, who brings her own energy, vulnerability, humor, and life experience to the table. She’s authentic, outspoken, and shares openly about her journey, her craft, and the ways she supports the community around her.

This episode covers entrepreneurship, agriculture, culture, food, family, identity, and the heart behind creating something meaningful for the Central Coast.

In this episode of the Paso Robles Podcast, we sit down with Emilio Herrera — better known online as @emilio_the_songwriter and @emilio22 — an emerging artist who creates music using AI tools. Emilio just started experimenting with AI this year, and he’s already built an impressive library of songs, concepts, and creative ideas that blend technology with raw emotion.

We talk about how he discovered AI music, how the process opened up a whole new world creatively, and why he’s fallen in love with exploring and expanding his skill set through technology.

Emilio also opens up about his upbringing, including his deep respect for his mother, who struggled with mental health challenges but is now doing better. As an adult, he feels capable of supporting her in ways he couldn’t before — but he also believes she sees his potential and is proud of the growth he’s experiencing.

It’s a conversation about creativity, resilience, family, and finding your voice — whether it comes from instruments, experience, or AI.

In this episode of the Paso Robles Podcast, I sit down with Austin Rodrigues — a former police officer from Lemoore who started his law enforcement career at just 21 years old. We talk about what it was like stepping into that responsibility so young, the lessons that shaped him, and how he learned through experience that growth takes time and refinement.

After six years of service, Austin realized that while he was moving up the ranks, he was also missing out on life beyond the job. Now, he’s in a pivotal season — using the discipline and mindset he built as a cop to level up in every other area of his life. It’s an open, real, and inspiring conversation about maturity, balance, and personal transformation.

Catch the full episode and hear why sometimes stepping away is the first step toward truly living.

In this episode of the Paso Robles Podcast, we sit down with Dustin Willis, better known online as West Culture — a creator whose content celebrates Mexican roots, pride, and everyday life.

But this conversation went a little differently than expected. Instead of sticking to social media and cultural themes, we just talked — about life, random thoughts, and the kind of stories that keep good company going. It’s real, raw, and genuinely Paso Robles.

Catch the full conversation and see why sometimes the best podcasts are the ones that don’t go as planned.
