July 30, 2019 #11: Camera Guys Pt. 2 (w/ videographer Alexei Acosta)
Waddup homies. Thanks for being here. On this episode, I sat down with a cat by the name of Alexei Acosta. He’s a cool dude Alexei came to my pad to tell me about his new venture in wedding and event videography. Our conversation went as far as how to create a strategy for growing an Instagram account, the mentality towards jumping into a new venture and having to figure things out on the fly, and his move from Mexico to Boston when he was 18 to pursue acting. Thanks for listening. I love you. If you dug this conversation, check out Alexei’s IG. @lenguazulfilms.

July 24, 2019 #10: Obsession (w/ Donald Frías) + The Allen Hendricks Interview
Waddup y'all. Welcome to episode 10. This episode is slightly different than the others. I went solo on this one and did a little reflection on the past 10 episodes of recording this podcast. I've gotten so fucking much out of doing this, and in an attempting to reflect on this experience, it naturally turned into a much deeper life reflection. I really enjoyed recording this one. I plan on doing this type of thing more, either as their own episodes or as long format intros. We'll see. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for listening. You're the shit.

July 16, 2019 #9: The Process Is The Process (w/ Soundy Jonathan Chen)
Waddup doe! Welcome to another conversation with a kick ass person doing what they love to do. I had Jonathan Chen over to my pad to talk about his time at USC film school. Jonathan and I went to the same visual and performing arts school. He’s one of my few close buddies I’m still friends with from high school.
I realized that I actually didn’t know a whole lot about how Jonathan decided to apply to film school, what that experience was like for him, how he ended up falling in love with sound design, and how that has now led to a passion in music production. So naturally, I decided to have him over and shoot the shit about all things related to his experience at SC.
You can catch him on Instagram @chenchilla__ (his handle has two underscores). If you liked the conversation, hit him up and let him know. I had a blast recording with one and as usual, I learned so much from it.
Thanks for lending me your ears. If you’re interested in the music used in this episode, you can check that out over at https://donaldfrias.com/
I love y’all.

June 23, 2019 #8: Passion, Pain, & Demon Slayin' (w/ Chef Jeana Pecha)
Sup y’all, welcome back and thanks for lending me your ears. On this episode, I had an awesome conversation with a kick ass chef by the name of Jeana Pecha. We sat down at her kitchen table over a bottle of mezcal and shared a whole slew of shit going on in our lives.
Jeana is the executive chef of the catering company I work for. From the first day I met her, we really clicked and were having some really powerful conversations. It was a no brainer that I had to get her on the podcast, and luckily for me, she was super down.
My original plan was to ask Jeana a bunch of questions related to Anthony Bourdain and his book Kitchen Confidential. I recently read it, and a big reason why I did was because I was so inspired by Jeana and her badass passion and energy I saw in her work. Needless to say, we never quite made it to the topic of Kitchen Confidental, but I couldn’t be more happy with where the conversation went and the outcome of this podcast.
On Sundays, you can catch Jeana at the Lost Parrot Cafe in South Pasadena. She runs that whole kitchen, created the entire menu, and comes up with insanely gas specials every week. I know she would love it if y’all popped in on her and said what’s up.
Thank you for listening. I love all of you.
