Recognition and Respect "R & R"

Had the privilege to sit down with someone living off their passion; Frankie Valentine is a producer, composer, engineer, and beat maker. We talked about vibes, fear, and taking the dive to tread in the dream.

My childhood friend Norma stopped by to talk about her fitness journey, the intersection of fitness and social justice, and dropped some knowledge.

Echo the MC came into the studio and totally blew my mind. We didn't get to talk about the struggle and coming up but we went DEEP. Enjoy!

My guest couldn't make it tonight and I had some things I needed to get off my chest. If you get anything out of this episode its that sometimes people just need to talk, and all of us need to learn to listen better.

Whats a hero's journey without conflict and failure?

I was dealing with some negative feelings, I talked it out with my boy Rey from Cultivarte Studios. If you're going through something and want to talk it out, hit me up! YOU'RE NOT ALONE. Send me an email http://shneaky.net/blog/contact/

In this episode we talk about overcoming obstacles both internal and external. We also cover the importance of having a community and support system to get through tough times, as well as walking through Rey's process of building up the courage to quit his job and moving on to the next stage of the entrepreneur's journey.

"Quit your job, whats the worst that can happen, you get another job?" - Rey

Branding, Creating, Staying True to Yourself and Your Roots.

"I have more time to create" - Rey

Art with a Purpose.

"Getting back to the roots, because that forces me to create art in what I'm involved in...the art that we create ties down to the work we do in the community." - Rey

Recorded in East Los Angeles On June 5, 2018

Its a trip how things go full-circle. Sesh Studio was the first producer SHNEAKY ever worked with on Hip Hop. Before he was Sesh and I was SHNEAKY, we played in a band called La Pobreska, in high school. When SHNEAKY moved back to LA to do music full-time, he connected with Sesh because they had both quit their jobs to pursue their passion.

We cover why he left the band:

"it was like a relationship that you've been in for a long time, that wasn't really working out...it hurts" - Sesh

We quickly talked about his career as an electrician and why he quit:

"Are you going to pay your bills and be content? Or are you going to struggle in life and be happy?" - Sesh

Then transitioned into the bulk of the conversation and focused on musicianship, professionalism, being a producer, an artist, and surviving in the entertainment industry.

Some tips from this conversation:

- Branding

- Content Creation

- Consistency

- Research

- Patience

SHNEAKY was the guest on a podcast that no longer exists. This conversation is the only surviving episode and covers the launching of the Recognition and Respect podcast, the history of SHNEAKY the MC, upbringing, education, life experiences, and the creation of SHNEAKY Entertainment.
