Zerothreetwo Conversations: Interviews with the Creative Class

It's clear that one of the industries that will need to evolve immediately is food. So much about how we enjoy this industry falls directly against the social distancing mandate. Restaurants/cafes/bars/etc. tend to encourage people to crowd in small spaces. What can businesses in the food industry do to evolve in this new normal?

I talked to Meyan Lim Young, Creator and Managing Director of Bubble Tea Station and Cebu Chamber of Commerce Young Entrepreneur of The Year 2019. Considering the width of her business, she gave the many challenges of the new normal some thought. Her perspective proved valuable and helped set expectations while we don't have treatment or a vaccine yet for the virus.

In this episode, we talked about what to consider in the new normal, what to keep in mind for delivery services, financially surviving the pandemic, and milk tea vs the yogurt craze.

Enjoy the podcast.

One possible future brought about by this pandemic is a future of unemployment. It's a possible reality that no one wants to hear, but it's a very real thing for some people at this very moment. As a society, we should start thinking about the different measures to make sure these people have a semblance of normalcy. Part of that normalcy is making sure they eat.

Fortunately, I found the opportunity to talk to the face of The Rice Movement, Albert Padin, also the co-founder & CTO of Symph. The Rice Movement started as an initiative to help Filipinos survive as they stay home during lockdown, but it became clear that this need will continue well after lockdown. When industries will be forced to change, that change has many consequences.

In this episode, we talked about the reasons for unemployment, the need to feed people, the need to rethink the structure of our system, and how that restructuring can hopefully give people more jobs.

Talking about the worst possible scenarios is not being negative. It's about being prepared for the worst, doing what you need to do to come out of it the best you can, knowing that you've done that work, and setting it aside to resume the rest of your life without having to worry.

Considering the little problem that the world is experiencing right now, I think it's only right to have an idea of the many issues that could possibly bubble up because of this pandemic. With that in mind, I rang up two of my very smart friends, Mozart Reina (my cousin actually) and Mark Cortes. Then we just riffed on what is the likely/unlikely things that could happen because of COVID-19.

In this episode, we talked about where we are now, the problem of feeding people, the state of banks, the medias role in all this, and the possibility of Universal Basic Income.

Enjoy the episode!

The new normal is a real thing. There are going to be many things that we will have to rethink once total lockdown is over and while we wait for the vaccine. It's not going to be the same for a lot of people.

This is what I wanted to address when I talked to Doctor Claire and Pierre Mella. How would it affect the practice of the many doctors in Cebu? How do we adapt to the situation? Fortunately, I also had John Jay Yuvallos and Rich Arnold Tuadles on the call. They are the folks who created CloudMD and CloudPx. These applications will allow patients to get in touch with their doctors in a remote fashion.

In this episode, we talked about the current state of medicine, an introduction to telemedicine, how CloudPx can help, and what to expect in the new normal.

Enjoy the episode!

Our future is more uncertain than ever. No one has an idea of what the next year is going to look like. A few things are certain - Covid 19 will be here a while, the vaccine is probably a year away, and we're all going to have to cope with this somehow.

This got me thinking. What about our kids? How can we expect to parent them in the next few months? I thought it would be a good idea to call one of my good friends, Jason Almendras, he was the first of my friends to have kids, so I was wondering what he has been up to, and how he has approached the "new normal".

In this episode, we talked about parenting in quarantine, homeschooling for the kids, what the future of school might look like, and a few funny stories about our chidren.

Enjoy the episode.

Considering what we are all going through, it's important to spend time with people you really care about. We're still fortunate to live in a time when we can easily access our friends and family through the internet.

I've never done so many video conferences in my life, but I'm happy they exist! I can't imagine what it must be like going through the world without connection right now.

In this episode, I hang out with my friends from Rescue a Hero. We talk about nothing in particular. Ok... Sometimes when you get us together, we have a tendency to talk about things that are a bit controversial. This is usually Mcoy's fault. But it makes for fun content.

Enjoy the episode.

These are uncertain times. We have to hold on for the long run. Best case scenario is that the Coronavirus quarantine will be lifted in a few weeks (although unlikely), but after quarantine, we will experience a culture of physical distancing. Who knows how long that will last? A vaccine is at least a year away so we will be living with this virus for a while. What kind of future does that look like? What to do?

This is something I wanted to talk about with my mastermind group, a peer group meeting where we discuss the progress, goals, learnings, etc. for our personal lives, careers, or businesses. This is a recording of our mastermind and how we are dealing with uncertainty. You will hear from Kahlil Corazo, Johnn Mendoza, Mark Cortez, Jonas Pacific, and Mozart Reina.

We talked about our fears, our plans, our strategies with dealing with an uncertain future because of Covid 19.

Hope all is well.

This past year, I've noticed more and more people doing podcasts. It's great! The more the merrier. People realize that podcasts are a great medium for sharing thoughtful insights, learning directly from people and recording fun conversations.

This episode with Alphecca Perpetua was a fun one. She's the host of Podcast Historias - a comedy and interview podcast about music, arts, sciences, sex ed, and health. It's one of the most unique sounding podcasts out there. It may sound like there was an agenda, but really I was just happy to have her on and talk to her about whatever.

In this podcast we talked about radio in the 90's, looking ahead, radio vs. Podcast, reading the fine print, and being a creative.

Enjoy the episode!

Quarantine can be tough, it is for me. Every time I've listened to this episode, it has put a smile on my face. So I thought it might be a good idea to rebroadcast it. You will not learn anything from this episode, but maybe it'll cheer you up.

Also Rescue a Hero might not be an active band anymore, but we've got something coming up. Secret announcement in the episode.

Cheers!

Whenever we look at someone successful, there's a temptation to think, "I could do that." Or to say, "He just got lucky." Or to wonder why seemingly successful people fall into the usual traps that you would never fall into.

This was a surprising topic with my conversations with Job Penalosa aka Cookie$. Most people know him as a rapper with huge music hits - Bogo, Snatcher Rap, Beplop and countless others. He found plenty of success in his music career, but that success didn't come with a price. When he came back to Cebu and his music career shot up, he succumbed to the seven deadly sins. This hampered his ability to make music and to take full advantage of his opportunities. What did he do to regain focus?

In this episode we talked about how to handle fame, how music has a real impact, his work ethic, his origin story, and how he approaches writing music.

Enjoy the episode.
