Hello all, for the last couple of weeks I went through a challenge by abstaining from weed from March 19th until April 19th. For this edition EP 61, I will share with you some of the things I realized and what I've experienced during this journey. One thing I plan on doing for sure is implement this challenge (no pot) for next month (May) and also go through a dry month (no alcohol) it may seem daunting at 1st but it is possible, just can't get lost in the noise.

Welcome to 2023 everyone, for today's episode will just be a quick ramble about my life and other things going on as well. Also give tips for those who have office jobs about how to keep active despite having to sit during your working hours. 

Never ever let anyone discredit your confidence, use your confident aura as a superpower to push through your projects, assignments and your way of life in order to be successful. 

As always thank you for tuning in to Rafael's Big Talks EP 59. 

*This episode is a serious one since there will be no background music*

Imagine yourself as a Stock. Your name is the ticker, your physical/mental self as the brand, and the people around you and the habits you do in life will determine whether your stock will rise or crash. The way how you make sure your stock will rise or crash is by the executive decisions you make in life. Which makes you the CEO of your own life. It is time to make "tough executive decisions" in your life in order to take power back into your own hands just like a CEO would for their own business except this time it is you in charge of your own life. It may seem tough in the beginning; but in the end your stock will be bullish for a very long time. It is time to take a deep look into your friend group, the habits/activities you partake in, and the way how you treat yourself. 

You ever been out with your group of friends and you see a restaurant that you want to try; or lets say your in a bar or club setting and you see someone who you want to know whether for business/networking reasons or looking for a friendship/relationship; or there's an intriguing spot in the city that you want come in and check it out; Unfortunately whenever we are out with a group of people we can never get our way all the times since the consensus may work against your favor. I am here to tell you that 10/10 times when you are out on your own you have full autonomy to visit or see any spot in the city or meet as many people as you want. Sure whether or not you may like the spot after giving it a shot or the person you meet may or may not be in a mood to network or build some type of bond; regardless of the results, you have exercised your own freedom and power to take the initiative and take yourself on that adventure. I am here to tell you the benefits of taking yourself out on an adventure. 

Every Episode will be published on Wednesdays. 

As always; Please enjoy!

It been a long time coming but I am finally back for good into the world of podcasting. First and foremost I hope all of my listeners have been kicking life's ass and continuously striving day in and day out. Life has been a transition for me from getting educated by professors to now "life" being my permanent teacher in this game of life. For today's episode I would love to fill you in the things going on in my life and the drastic changes from living on campus to living with my parents. We will also discuss how we must begin to seek validation for our own self instead of trying to get it out of your parents. 

I hope you all enjoy episode 56, and I will be publishing episodes bi-weekly on Wednesday's !!!! 

Sheesh, it's been since October 6th that I have dropped an episode but don't worry people I am still here alive and strong. Like I said before you gotta make sacrifices in life and for me right now I am putting school (Classes, Mentoring, and Ambassadorship) and my RE (real estate courses) over my brand for the time being. For today's 55th episode I will be discussing about where I have been for the past 1-2 months and the ventures I've been getting myself into. For part 2 I will explain why I left social media and the differences it has brought to my life. As always thank you for tuning into Rafael's Big Talks and lets keep that chart going up!!

It seems to me that our generation of men and the generation below us is gravitating towards topic like "being red pill" or how to become an "Alpha male" etc. Funny part is that, I was a member in that community until I realized how it was effecting the way I viewed the world and women as well. Now there are topics within this community that has helped me out for example "Go to the gym, dress up to par, put yourself 1st, be confident, and worry about your finances." To a certain extent it can become helpful for a young man's life but over indulging in the material can make you become a bitter person and eventually view the world black and white. Sometimes in life, you can try a product but it is important to step outside of it and figure out whether it makes you feel better or just bitter!!!!

You gotta make sacrifices in life and realize what's tremendously important. That's how I've been for the past few months in my relationship with school and my podcast. I hope everyone has been amazing and great; my life has only been involved in kicking school's ass for the very last time until I get out into the real world. As of today I finally had the privilege to make time for Rafael's Big Talks and for you guys as well. For today's topic, I will spend some time catching up with you guys and tell you how my life has been. Then talk about what it's like being 1st Generation Student in a university, I hope anyone in college can relate to this feeling because it has it benefits but then it also has pressures as well. You have the ability to break your families cycle and make it successful, but can you handle the pressure and the heat?!??! 

I hope everyone enjoys EP LIII and can relate as well. 

& as always, lets keep that chart going up^^^^
