Starting With Gratitude

A conversation rooted in gratitude, perseverance, faith, and purpose, Bizness Boi shares his journey to success and living well. Coming from a space like Milwaukee, his path was/is unconventional but ultimately rewarding. And now, he's gifted the position to be able to inspire others, share resources, and make investments, which Bizness Boi acknowledges and is grateful for.

Not only is Bizness Boi is a Grammy-nominated producer who has worked with some of your favorite artists (and created some of your favorite songs) but he is also an investor in various industries including trucking, real estate, and stocks, as well as is continuing to build his Bizness Boi Music Group. 

One thing that's highly contributed to his overall success is an abundance mindset, which we touch on throughout the episode. We also touch on healing family relationships, his pivotal experience(s) in Atlanta, special moments in the studio, meeting his manager, and more.

It's not common for someone from our hometown to become one of the music industry's favorite (and respected) engineers but Edgard Herrera, also known as Era, manifested it for himself. Engineer for record label Internet Money and dedicated independent artist, Edgard's journey to success is an inspirational one.

You can follow Edgard here and check out Internet Money here. 
 
The music industry can be difficult to navigate, both when you're trying to be in it and when you're in it. Currently, Edgard is finding balance in his abundant work. We touch on this in this episode and we also discuss what it takes to make a hit, growing through the struggles, trusting yourself and your vision, taking necessary risks, lessons learned behind-the-scenes, and so much more realness and goodness.

If you're in the music industry (or are trying to be in it) or if you're simply someone with a big dream, this conversation is definitely for you.

A diverse conversation on fatherhood, tunnel vision, and evolving into self-care - this episode with photographer and creative director Aaron Ricketts is an inspiring one for those seeking to balance wellness and work, those stepping into the creative field full-time, and specifically men wanting to prioritize healthier habits.

You can follow Aaron here and learn more about him here.

Aaron is one of those creatives who always knew what he wanted to pursue and the implementations of self-care (meditation, fitness, rest) really began to flourish after a self-reflectional Senior thesis that led him to investing in therapy. As a proud father, Aaron shares his experience with us on becoming one and what he looks forward to in the future. There's a lot evolving in the creative space, so yes... we talk about NFTs!

For creatives like Dewey Saunders, art truly is life. From making collages to designing album covers to (recently) launching a clothing brand called Comfort Club, Dewey's day-to-day is nothing short of an artist at play. So how does an artist like Dewey remain inspired to create?

In this episode, Dewey and I discuss maintaining the overall wellbeing of inspiration and creation. We touch on his spiritual journey and evolvement, his experiences in exploring psychedelics and what that has looked like, as well as prioritizing good health and being a consistent creator.

If you're a fan of mindfulness, creating, and/or are curious about a balanced work ethic, this episode is especially for you.

Wow. And just like that season 01 has come to a close. Two months, eight meaningful conversations, and over 500 downloads later, I stand here with immense gratitude for all my guests, my listeners, and this growing, new community.  I, your host Jocelyn, couldn't step into season 02 without a proper farewell to a season that will forever hold a very special place in my heart. Here are my sincerest gratitude(s), my reflections, and my lessons learned.

"Create with intention, scale with strategy" is one of many tweets I heart by Kai Miller, a woman who is unsubscribing from hustle culture and subscribing to the full embodiment of self.

We are in a time of needing instant gratification, being faced with a saturation of temporary content, and feeling pressured to the point of comparison. For Kai, this is no more. As we discuss leading a life of intention and tapping into your true (expansive) self, unlearning many of these societal (and capitalistic) structures is a topic to face.

In this episode we touch on the importance of (personal and professional) intention,  building a brand that lasts, the beauty of being multifaceted, and prioritizing self-care - whatever that looks like.

You can follow Kai here and book a consultation with her here.

We're all familiar with it... that transitional space between who you were and who you are becoming. A space in which you are shedding the old and still unfolding the new. "The cocoon phase" as our very special guest Ashley "Outrageous" Ocampo calls it.

Ashley is currently in the midst of this transition, personally and professionally (re)shaping her foundation, her lifestyle, and her being. As she begins to fully embrace (and eventually expand on) artist management and express that shift to the world, she is making sure the management first-and-foremost begins with herself.

Known for her legendary blogging days, which then led her to some major power plays in the music industry including working with TDE, change isn't foreign for Ashley. A woman with many hats, her career has seemingly fluidly gone through its own evolution. The evolvement she's already experienced has allowed her to acknowledge, accept, and have the willingness to explore the self-work she is doing now.

You can learn more about Ashley here and follow her here.

This episode explores the cocoon phase, as we hear from someone who is in the midst of it now. What does it look like? How does it feel? What realizations have become known?

Motherhood, running a business, and adjusting to how you show up in different seasons of your life are three highlights of this beautiful conversation with Zoila Darton. She is one of those women you witness and ask, "How does she do it all?" and "What can't she do?"

Currently finding herself in a space of setting boundaries (and overcoming the guilt that may come from it), finding pride in non-career related accomplishments, and checking-in with what her current self needs to thrive, this episode is a mirror reflection of womanhood, healing, and acceptance.

You can  learn more and follow Zoila here! As well as here.

In this episode, we also touch on what it takes to maintain healthy relationships, being ready for the opportunities you seek, tips on scaling your business, and more! So brew yourself some tea because this is a good one.
