📍 Lago Vista, Texas -

In this episode, I'm sitting down with Minja Stretenovic.

Minja is a Serbian ex-pat, a musician, a producer, and a former professor at Austin Community College. I first met him a few months back at the Highball Lounge, in one of their private karaoke rooms in Austin, Texas, and well, here we are.

Maybe you've heard me muse about finding one's purpose in other episodes, and how it can seem when you're trying to figure that out. For Minja, his passion for music has been a consistent element in his life, and once he found it, he never let it go.

Sitting down with him for this discussion was a wonderful experience for me, and I hope that you find his story as beautiful as I do.

📍 Boulder Creek, CA -

In this episode, I'm sitting down with Rio Allen.

Rio is someone I would describe as an "Explorer" and an "Experiencer".

I met him in San Pancho, Mexico, where he was working as a breathwork facilitator, and made the trek up to his current mountaintop home in Boulder Creek, CA to record this episode.

He is doing the work to understand this experience of life on a deeper level, exploring what it means to be himself in a way which can be a guiding light for others on a similar path - directly discussing spirituality and self acceptance within the homosexual community.

It was an absolute honor and priviledge for me to be invited up to his home to record this episode.

If you enjoy this content, have questions about it, or even just want to tell me what I can be doing better, PLEASE reach out to me directly at the email address in the shownotes, in the comments, or even on my social media placements. I want to continue to improve the show, and your feedback is helpful for me, personally, so don't be shy!

I really hope that you enjoy the conversation, and can take something away from it for yourself.

📍 Santa Monica, CA -

In this episode, I'm talking with the head of Kas Kas Productions, Kamala Avila-Salmon.

Kamala is tireless in her work to amplify those underrepresented voices in the vast media landscape, and discusses that work in a clear and compelling way.

We talk about how she got there. The twists and turns which made her the Kamala that I met all those years ago, and so much more.
