Your Most Precious Thing

TW: Brief Emetophobia warning from 21:12 - 21:16

When asked to describe himself, Javier Caballero has a few choice phrases in mind: the resident meme guy that works in marketing, a cartoon enthusiast that appreciates the good vibes in life, a human with a dog soul that tends to overthink a lot, but most importantly, a good person to the people in his life.

During this episode, you will hear Javier talk about:

• Why he has a special connection to a certain Christmas present he received many years ago

• How Citizen Kane and 30 Rock play a role in his story

• The importance of balancing your childhood desires and your adult reality

Words have been Nakita's thing since middle school. With a passion for writing and a desire to work with people in her heart, she studied broadcast journalism and earned a degree in Journalism & Communications from UNC Chapel Hill. She quickly learned that while she loved journalism and always will, its direct and succinct approach diluted the colorful muse of a creative writer. At heart, she has always been a creative writer, so when she started Word Stylist in 2014, she saw an opportunity to create her own lane in the writing world. With the growing need to create meaningful content in a digital world, the emergence of content marketing has afforded her to share her gifts with the small business community. She likes to think of herself as a perfect blend of a journalist and a creative writer, building a compelling story while telling the facts.

During this episode, you will hear Nakita talk about:

• Why she considers time to be her most precious thing

• If there is anything in her past that she would want to change, and how she reflects the effect that it had on her path in life

• How time and memory connect with a particular family memento of hers
