Rob The Mic

This week's episode gets heavy, but it needs to.I talk about the vibe at the Pink Motel, the Chopped & Dropped show, and what I witnessed Saturday — a moment that hit hard and stayed with me. I dive into the emotional weight of seeing ICE activity that close to home, what it's doing to communities, and how sharing it on social media led to conversations, reactions… and some backlash.Sunday and Monday brought protests, and now we're seeing National Guard and Marine presence in our own neighborhoods. I get real about what it means to post, to speak up, and to fight for people who can't.Here's the truth:You can't be about the culture if you don't support its people.You can't ride for the art, the cars, the food, the music, and then stay silent when the very people behind it are under attack.This hits especially close for me as someone from an immigrant family. My Ring app has been blowing up with ICE sightings in my area — markets, churches, even people's front doors at 5am. That's not safety. That's terror.We also touch on California's SB 54 — the sanctuary state law meant to protect people — and why it's more important than ever to know your rights and protect your communities.If what I'm saying offends you or makes you uncomfortable, then maybe this isn't the space for you. But if you're ready to fight the good fight — even when it's hard, even when it costs you followers or so-called “friends” — then you're exactly who this is for.Use your voice. Speak up. And fuck the fear.Stay Golden y'all

In this episode, I reflect on a weekend that served as a powerful reminder to live with intention and take bold steps forward. From celebrating Gabe's incredible achievement—finishing his pediatric fellowship—to witnessing the brilliant Allan Peters double down on his personal brand, I couldn't ignore the message the universe was sending me: it's time to bet on myself.We talk about what it means to add life to your days, why saying yes to something outside your comfort zone can be the best decision you ever make, and the importance of putting yourself on your to-do list. This episode is about momentum, self-worth, and catching those signs when life nudges you forward—especially when the next step could finally mean monetizing what you love.

This week, I recap attending 240 Tuesday and reflect on a cool moment where JLO showed love to me and the podcast — a reminder to celebrate the little wins. From there, I dig into the pressures of social media and the trap of trying to "keep up with the Joneses" while everyone's out here curating perfect lives.We explore the 4C model of authenticity — a psychological framework that helps define what it really means to stay true to yourself in a world that constantly challenges that. I break down the four outer points: Change, Individual, Social, and Stability — and how they connect with Consistency, Conformity, Continuity, and Connection. It's all about navigating life's curveballs while staying grounded in who you are.I wrap up with today's words of wisdom:
“Authenticity doesn't guarantee everyone will like you — it guarantees that YOU will like you.”
And we close with a gem from Mel Robbins: the “Let Them” theory — because not everything deserves your energy.Stay Golden y'all

This week, I open up about the creative block I've been working through—the kind that makes you question if all your effort is even worth it. It's that strange contradiction of knowing you're not alone in the struggle, yet still feeling isolated in the process. But a Reel I came across changed my perspective. It featured Gilberto Marquez, a hat maker from LA, who spoke about pursuing a dream that hadn't materialized yet—making a clean Tejana that a famous artist would wear on stage. He said something that stuck with me: sometimes you repeat to yourself that it's never going to happen, that maybe you don't deserve it… until the universe has no option but to prove you wrong.I reflect on how much I relate to that mindset, and how a recent track day with Albert reignited some of that creative fire. We talked about what's possible, what we're building, and how even the smallest wins can carry momentum.Advice for this episode:You're allowed to be proud of the little things you achieve. Not everything you do has to be life-changing.Stay Golden y'all

This week, I open up about hitting a creative block and debating whether to keep pushing forward with the podcast. I talk about the discouragement that comes with applying for corporate creative work and navigating contracts that sometimes feel more draining than inspiring. But amidst all that, there's also been light — like Bams' build reminding me of why I create, and this Friday's track day at Willow Springs bringing the excitement back not just to make, but to build. I also share some gems from a Tuesday Foosday hangout with Rob watching the new David Blaine series, and how it brought a timely reminder: staying consistent, even when the reward isn't immediate, is where the shift really happens. Let's talk about pushing through, even when it's tough.Stay Golden y'all

Last week was a whirlwind—nonstop meetings, long hours, and the grind of trying to lock down corporate contracts. It's no joke... and honestly, it's exhausting. So when Friday hit, I hit pause and caught up with an old friend by the beach. That little breather led into a chill weekend where, for once, work took the backseat.But come Sunday, I was back in prep mode—getting equipment ready for a big Monday ahead. That morning, I drove out to the Valley to meet up with my brother Bams from Genocide, who's been working on something major: a complete rebuild of his car, fresh off GNRS—bare metal, new color, the works.We took a ride out to Santa Paula to link with the legendary model car artist Armando Flores at his iconic garage, a place where real magic happens. The day was filled with good vibes—hanging, mixing, soaking in the art, the stories, and even signing the famous case covered in names from legends in the game. I've never been asked to sign anything like that before... it meant the world, especially sharing that moment with my brother.We grabbed lunch, talked about life and builds, and kept the convo flowing on the drive back—paint, wheels, vision, dreams. Wrapped the night with Bams and his fam, feeling grounded and inspired.Words of wisdom this week:Sometimes life is about risking everything for a dream nobody can see but you.And don't let fear be the reason you settle for a life you don't love.Let's talk about that.Stay Golden y'all

This weekend was a mix of deep reflection and solid vibes. Saturday was OGP's memorial—tough circumstances, but it was genuinely beautiful to reconnect with people and share stories. One moment that really hit me: a close friend of his told me I captured the soul of his car. That kind of feedback is why I do what I do—it's more than photos or builds; it's about honoring a legacy.Sunday brought the usual chaos and laughs: tuning with the boys, Albert's truck took its maiden voyage (finally!), we scored a set of 40s, we made some drinks, talked some shit, and even got the roll bar installed on the Honda. Solid day all around.Also, Lewis Howes posted something that's been stuck in my head: “If your life were a movie, what would the audience be screaming at the screen telling you to do right now?”It's been sitting heavy with me. That, and a reminder for everyone: sacrificing yourself is not a love language. Let's talk about it.Stay Golden y'all

This episode is a mix of heavy emotions and powerful moments. I share some personal updates, including prepping my truck for sale and the heartbreaking passing of my aunt on Saturday. Then, a random movie night turns into a deep conversation about suicide awareness.I also reflect on an unforgettable memorial for Eric at 240Tuesday, where the community showed up in full force to honor his life. Seeing so many familiar faces—Cid , Johnne Sou (aka E60daddy), Taylor from Karuma, Ivan from VJC Tires, Zo (who y'all have heard on the show before), and even Albert and Yesi—made the night even more meaningful. Having Eric's car towed in and set up as part of the memorial was surreal, a moment none of us will ever forget.Amid all this, a reminder: You are the constant in every good thing that has happened in your life.I wrap up with some car talk—Sunday is going to be all about tuning and prepping for a track day coming up. And my advice for the week? 10/10 recommend putting yourself first for once and being a passionate little freak about your happiness.Stay Golden y'all

This past weekend was all about change, commitment, and much-needed escapes. From drinks and apps at Lock & Key on Friday to kicking off a garage-to-gym transformation on Saturday, I'm making moves toward a new lifestyle commitment. Sunday threw in an unexpected but much-needed getaway to Holcomb Creek in Big Bear, reinforcing something I always say—get the f*ck out and go see shit! And Monday? The real work began with my first circuit workout with my brother, officially setting foot on Struggle Street.This episode is all about staying focused—whether it's working out, setting goals, or pushing through when things get tough. It's easy to get discouraged, but the key is not dropping the ball, staying locked in, and pushing forward no matter what. Tap in for some real talk, motivation, and reflections on a therapeutic weekend that reminded me why consistency is everything.Stay Golden y'all

This week, I'm reflecting on milestones, expectations, and the reality of navigating your 30s when life doesn't look like you envisioned. From celebrating my tío's 60th with family (and dancing alone, as usual) to catching up with the homies at Iconix and chatting with Tim from Cliffside about his murdered-out Caddy, the weekend had its memorable moments. However, Monday's therapy session revealed something deeper—generational stress, cultural pressure, and the nagging feeling of being “behind.”You hit your 30s, and suddenly, there's no perfect career, no dream house, no great love story neatly tied up in a bow—just you, healing, unlearning, and working to trust the timing of your own life. Most days, it's fine. Other days, the doubt sneaks in. But here's the truth: you are not behind. You are not running out of time. You're simply on your journey back to yourself.Let's discuss it. Also, some advice on being mindful not just of what you eat but of what you consume emotionally, spiritually, and mentally.Stay Golden y'all

For the first time in a long while, I had a weekend free of shoots and events—just time to simply be. And let me tell you… it was absolutely amazing. I caught up with my buddy Danny over drinks, and later, Sebastian joined us. From start to finish, it was one of those nights that flowed effortlessly. No stressing about work, no pressure to be productive—just fully enjoying the moment.Of course, daylight saving time had to disrupt me, turning 2 AM into 3 AM, but that's beside the point. The real takeaway? I read something that hit me hard:"You don't need to burn yourself out to prove you're worthy of good things."That one sentence compelled me to confront something I've struggled with for years—the notion that if I'm not constantly working, I'm somehow useless. That any free time should be filled with more work because that's what's expected. It's a mindset I observed my uncle live by, and one I've carried with me. But I'm learning that true creativity, true living, comes from having the courage to be seen—to exist without always trying to prove something.In this episode, I'm exploring that, reflecting on the weekend, and sharing a reminder for anyone who feels the same: you don't have to run yourself into the ground to be worthy of good things.Stay Golden y'all

In this episode, I reflect on the journey of releasing my second magazine publication through CanvasRebel and what it means to keep pushing forward. I also take you along on a much-needed day trip to Joshua Tree with my brother—why we went, what we did, and the moments that made it unforgettable.From hitting mining trails and scaling mountainsides to catching a sunset at a breathtaking lookout point, this trip was more than just an escape—it was a reminder of how small we are in the grand scheme of things. Sebastian's words, “Tell me about how big your problems are again?”, hit differently in the vastness of nature. As we aired back up at the trailhead and sat under a sky full of stars, the emotions hit, and so did the perspective.A reminder for us all: we're on borrowed time. Choose people who choose you. Stay genuine. Everything will either naturally reciprocate or remove itself.Stay Golden y'all

Creativity thrives in the balance between structure and spontaneity. In this episode, we explore the dance between having a schedule and embracing life's unexpected moments—because sometimes, the best things happen when we let go of control. Plus, a reminder that the real glow-up isn't about becoming a "perfect" version of yourself; it's about embracing who you are right now. Tune in for insight, inspiration, and a little nudge to enjoy the present.Stay Golden y'all

What's good, new listeners?! I see y'all tuning in, and I appreciate every message and conversation from these last few episodes—It feels like we're building something here.In this episode, I'm breaking down Valentine's Day from start to finish—how I shifted my mindset, created new memories, and realized just how much love I have in my life, beyond just the romantic kind. Plus, a solid Sunday Funday with Mikey from Zavala's Pizza.And to wrap it up, some real talk: what's meant for you will come with peace, not chaos. Oh, and that “healing era”? Yeah, we're done with that. It's time to talk shit and be silly again. Let's get into it.Stay Golden y'all

In this episode, I dive into two concepts that hit hard this weekend—one I've known and one that completely shook me. First, you can't expect yourself from others. And second, people will be happy for you… until you're doing “better” than they are. Whether it's love, career success, or experiencing things they haven't, not everyone is clapping for you the way you think.I continued this conversation with Albert and Yesi on Sunday, unpacking even more layers. Plus, a wild full-circle moment—an old friend from high school hit me up about an episode from two years ago that's been helping him. It reminded me of how long I've been doing this and how dope it is that we've built something that resonates.And of course, some advice to leave you with:"Better to admit you walked through the wrong door than spend your entire life in the wrong room." – Grant Cardone"I found my rhythm when I realized that even the steps backward were part of the dance." – Melody GodfredTap in, reflect, and keep moving forward.

This weekend was full of experiences that reminded me of the importance of being present and truly living in the moment. I'll share my thoughts on GNRS—what it meant to me and how I embraced the experience instead of merely going through it. Spending time with family, celebrating Jay's birthday, and even navigating a protest on Monday all added depth to the weekend. In addition, an unexpected message from Taylor got me reflecting, and I found myself feeling anxious and overwhelmed when trying to make things happen. In this episode, I'll discuss those emotions and explain why there's no shame in making mistakes while figuring things out. At the end of the day, the goal isn't perfection—it's living a fulfilling life. Let's get into it. Stay Golden y'all

In a world where everyone is focused on everything but themselves, it's easy to get caught up in other people's moods, opinions, and drama. But here's the truth: learning to stay in your lane is one of the best things you can do for your peace. In this episode, I'm sharing thoughts on emotional independence, personal growth, and the power of choosing your circle wisely. From a conversation over drinks on Saturday to how social media (especially TikTok) has taken over people's lives, we'll talk about why it's so important to focus on you instead of getting wrapped up in outside noise. We'll also discuss how your relationships evolve as you grow, why some people will judge you for changing while others will celebrate your growth, and how to handle those shifts. Plus, with election season heating up, I'll touch on the importance of choosing your battles wisely and not letting political and social division consume your energy. At the end of the day, if I bring anything to this world, I want it to be this: I hope that you feel loved around me. Tune in for a real talk, self-reflection, and a reminder to protect your peace. Let's get into it.

This week, I'm taking you through the whirlwind of my life lately—starting with impromptu Thursday hangs with Rob, prepping for the weekend madness on Friday, and spending quality time with family all weekend. But amidst all the chaos, the feeling of not being appreciated has hit hard, and I'll dive into what that does to us emotionally. We'll also touch on TikTok disappearing for a few hours (seriously, people were embarrassing), and though I won't get into politics, Trump's inauguration made a few headlines worth skimming over. Between the last couple of days at the hospital and the feeling that everything is crashing down while I can barely get a grip on my world, life has been... a lot. But through it all, I'm here to remind you that you're not missing out on anything when you're busy chasing your goals and dreams. Let's talk about staying grounded even when life feels wild. Tune in for a real talk, a little laughter, and some perspective on keeping it together when the world seems determined to fall apart.

In this heartfelt podcast episode, I discuss Alfredo's birthday and the emotions associated with marking two years since his passing. It's a mix of remembrance and reflection—a journey through the memories of watching him work with unmatched dedication and recalling the values he instilled in me. While I can't reveal the details yet, an exciting opportunity has come my way, and I know that Alfredo would have been proud. These moments have me thinking about something profound I read recently: “There are no right decisions. The universe doesn't have a fixed agenda. Once you make any decision, it works around that. There is no right or wrong, only a series of possibilities that shift with each thought, feeling, and action you experience.” This perspective resonates deeply, especially now. To wrap up, my advice to everyone is simple: do the shit you believe in. Trust in your choices, honor what's important, and let life shape itself around you. Stay Golden y'all

In this episode, I reflect on a powerful weekend that left me grateful and recharged. After Saturday's event with G & The Coyotes, I was overwhelmed by the support from people who genuinely believe in what I do.

nephew'shere'swe'redon'tweek'sInnephew'shere'swe'redon'tnephew'shere'swe'redon'tweek'sIn this episode, I reflect on a simple and memorable weekend. It kicked off with a cozy pizza night on Friday, followed by celebrating my nephew's birthday. The weekend wrapped up with a Sunday Funday spent with Albert and Yesi, finishing at the beach, soaking in the sunset. But here's the problem: you think you have time. On average, we get 80 summers if we're lucky. So, don't put off that trip or wait for life to begin. Stay up late with friends, get up early to watch the sunrise, catch every sunset, book that trip, hike, and head to the beach. Most importantly, spend time with those you love and tell them how you feel. This week's advice is to live by three simple rules: 1. Love needs ACTION. 2. Trust needs PROOF. 3. Sorry needs CHANGE.

Why waste your time stressing over making the "right" decision? Life isn't about finding the perfect path—it's about making the path you choose the right one. Whether it's getting married, taking a job, going on a date, or planning a trip, the significance of a decision isn't something you can predict.
 Regret is mindless. You can't live multiple lives, so why dwell on the choices you didn't make? Instead, make the decision, own it, and live your best life RIGHT NOW.
