This episode of Sew Taco features the one and only Javi Luna. Javi is one of our favorite comedians who lives right here in Corpus Christi. He’s had the opportunity to tour with some pretty big names and is a prime example of hustle and dedication to his craft. Listen as he talks all about his journey, the tough times, the highs, what keeps him going and how he’s reminded to be grateful for all he’s accomplished. 

He also has his own podcast called The Original Gordito Podcast which you can check out right here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-original-gordito-podcast/id1458971488

It's the finale of Season 3, BUT not to worry, we'll be right on schedule next week kicking off Season 4 without missing a beat. Season 4 is the Season of guests. Guest on each and every episode. In this episode of Sew Taco we talk about why you need to remember that YOU are the boss in this business/hustle of yours. We talk about two examples that just happened to us and how we handled them. The whole podcast starts off with a super tough decision that one of us had to make minutes before we started recording. We finish it all of with tips and what we've learned about ourselves recording this whole season. 

AND we finally launched a Patreon page. What is Patreon? It's a way for you to soak up some benefits AND support our podcast. Check it out here: https://www.patreon.com/sewtaco

We got a 3 day weekend coming up ya'll! In this Sew Taco episode we chat about how we're taking full advantage and what we have on our plates. We also answer two emails live (well in the podcast) from fellow side hustlers and fans. Outside of all the other shenanigans we talk about, we touch on something we both feel is super important to be reminded of, and it all has to do with never comparing yourself with others. Check it all out in this weeks episode.

In this episode we talk about why you shouldn't assume your followers know everything about you and what you do/sell, etc. How resurfacing old pics and designs can be a huge benefit AND the crazy routine Gerald is on now and what it made him realize.

This Sew Taco episode is packed with milestones we celebrated, Elena being featured, the amazing time we had in Houston for Gerald's birthday, the food we ate, the fun we had, and we end it all with a side hustle lesson that we learned the hard way. Long story short, Gerald had to take down a shirt from his site. Hear all about it.

We covered a ton in this episode. Here's a quick rundown:  First off we were nominated for BEST PODCAST with a local publication and would LOVE for you guys to vote for us "Sew Taco" (link below), and it just takes on click. THANK YOU! We were also guests on WERO's podcast which was so much fun. He asked some really fun questions and we clearly had a good time. A link to that episode is also below. After all this we talked about how we are HORRIBLE with each others birthday gifts, an incredible dinner we went to and how we continue to stay motivated. Staying motivated was a topic we discussed on an earlier podcast which has a ton of listens. So we thought it would be good to touch on that again.
