December 05, 2025 Hard Work | Ep #40
This episode is all about hard work — the real kind. The sweaty, callused, “no screens, maybe a little blood on your sleeve” jobs that shape you when you’re young. From washing dishes in an Italian restaurant run by a wild owner to lying above bowling pins with no AC, these tough jobs don’t hurt the soul — they build it..
Tap in for Hard Work | Ep #40 and let’s go back to the jobs that made us who we are.

November 28, 2025 High Lo!! | Ep #39
This episode might just freeze time.
I revisit the day I ate one too many avocado chocolate balls… not knowing they were loaded with something extra. What followed was a blinding white light and hours where time didn’t feel real.
I also dive into addiction, how I quit smoking, and how I learned to control my addictive personality for good.
Pause your timeline and tap in — you might’ve already heard this in another dimension.

November 21, 2025 San Quentin Workouts | Ep #38
We all hit crossroads — moments we need to destroy and rebuild.
Right before COVID I tore my bicep, and it wasn’t just surgery and physio… it was a full mind, body, and soul reset.
To this day, my life still feels divided into chapters: before my lady, before my kids, and before the torn bicep. We are now in the after.

October 17, 2025 Deportes | Ep #33
This episode is all about Sports — simple as that. I grew up playing them all and loved every minute. But taking my 3-year-old son to his first basketball camp? That feeling was unreal. Almost impossible to describe… but nothing is truly impossible. Stelo you are next.

October 03, 2025 Rickey Henderson Cards | Ep #31
With the Blue Jays winning their first division in a decade, my love for baseball returns along with a rare fond memory of chasing Rickey Henderson cards with my Dad. Let's also go back to summer camp—where eating all the cantaloupe brought on some early kid stress.
