The Voncast Show

On this episode I speak to musician, entrepreneur and valley ambassador Cherokee. I met Cherokee briefly at work and kept in touch.
I had a fun & enlightening conversation with Cherokee about her upbringing, where she got her style, love of thrifting and her online retail store Wild Cherry. We also delve into our early rap days, early stage names & lyrics. Cherokee also helps other artists navigate their entertainment careers and steer them away from industry pitfalls through Spin Spider LLC. We also talk about her plant based journey, having a positive mindset and more!

On the more lighthearted convos we talk about Chinese restaurants and boba joints in SF!

This is Micheal Pham and his story of Redemption. I met Michael online through social media groups and he shares his story about getting locked up for almost 20 years. What I wanted to get out of this conversation was mainly his upbringing, his transformation, mindset, lessons he chose to learn while being incarcerated, The injustice in the prison system, what he cooked, and being released during covid pandemic. Micheal talks about the importance of family, planning, and growing as an individual, cooking video and more! Glad you are home and we finally had this convo. Hope you as the audience enjoy.

Recently learned Kam (The_Durian_Knight) is a fan of the niche fighting game genre like I am and had to get him on the podcast! 
Kam tells us about Durian, and skipping class in high school to play in the arcade. We reminisce on our younger days and first fighting games (Tekken, Street Fighter). His love for fighting games have lead him to participating and winning prize money from fighting game tournaments. I rarely talk about fighting games because not too many people play them. So when I do I tend to nerd out.
Kam also shares his Dragon Ball Fighter Z training routine for the upcoming EVO tournament(Evolution Championship Series) in August 2022!

Von Solo episode. It's just me, kinda ranting. On the previous episode, Nora talked about the importance of taking a break before you need one. A few months ago, we had conversation about me taking a break from creating content due to working at a job i strongly disliked and how it made a negative impact on my mental health. I talk about quitting my previous job, taking a break from creating content, identifying too much with being a content creator (rapper/podcaster) while neglecting my mental health.
