Sitting down and being able to chat with Nestor has been absolutely mind blowing. The last time I had him on the show life was much different, we were much different. I am amazed at the man my friend has become. He exemplifies what I've been talking about with breaking the generational cycling and doing better by raising a family that instills great resilience, strength, communication, and love to name a few.

I am able to spend some time with my friend, Eddie and we catch up and talk about so current events, mental health, retail life and, Eddie does a deep dive into how he is coping with his mental health.

I sat today with the news DMX died... I put on Spotify and this was his first song to play. I hadn’t heard these words he spoke in decades and now at 35 the mean something different. The story he told here, it’s real, it’s heavy, it’s the world we’ve created.  DMX had a soul that was being tortured as far back as he can remember, he had the eyes of the world on him at one point in time and that still didn’t fill the whole left by mom and dad not wanting him. God rest DMX’s soul, I pray he has finally found his peace in God’s grace.

It has been a very long time since I have had any real connection with my friends and so I take a dive with my buddy Andrew Camacho as we talk about the Family Matters Chronicle. Mental health was neglected pre pandemic and is imploading around us as a society continues to search for answers in all the wrong places. This episode is a collective episode of the Family Matters Chronicles. BREAK THE CYCLE

With so much trauma in the world right now, humanity is facing a constant battle but how do we fix so many issues that we face in our current times? Tony takes a deep dive into current systemic issues and explores options that can help the healing begin. 

With so much pain and anger in the world, I sit and examine just what is missing within our society... Family Matters

I talk about the struggle that isolation has brought us as a people to face. I also, examine and look at how the world has changed so much. Also, Dr. Smith from Elmhurst Hospital detail what it's like to be on the frontlines of this war and the stress and anxiety that is taking hold of our medical staff in the United States

Episode 2 takes a look at what it is that truly makes us as people happy. How do we measure our happiness? With all that is going on in the world, what should we be cherishing the most in order to get the best out of our lives and to better our mental health.
