Welcome back Gold Zone listeners! In this episode we will get to reflect back on what we're spending our time on. Is it towards something we actually want to do or is it cause we're told? Are we investing our time because we're interested in the subject that we are willing to endure anything along the journey or we just want the results? The universe ALWAYS gives us back what we put out into the world. Bringing awareness to our day to day so we can align ourselves with doing the things that actually light us on fire!

Welcome back Gold Zone listeners! In this episode we're going to dive into my journey as a female barber in a male dominated industry. Personal experiences that broke me at first, but later I used as fuel to help me elevate. The confidence you are looking for will be gained through the work you are trying to avoid. These situations don't stop at being a female barber, but also a new barber, or even being a difference race in certain demographics. The difference between being “LUCKY” for opportunities or earning through daily habits.

Welcome back!! In this episode I get to chat with Jackie aka @icedoutbarber ! For a long time I knew of her as Floyd Mayweather's personal barber. What really intrigued me about her story is how she went from a regular barber to a personal barber for ONE person. Traveling with Floyd over the last 10 years and being able to see the world in a different way. What is that life like? As rewarding as it may be, there's always another side. Tune in from an OG in the game as we go through her 20 year journey!

Welcome back! I'm very excited for this episode because I get to sit down with someone I hold very close to me, my Angel Valerie Ramirez. The creative field isn't deemed this successful path to most people, but both of us have continued to follow what we love. One thing I truly appreciate about people like Val, is that they care so much, they're willing to be brutally honest to help someone they care about see another version of the truth that often times many of us hide from. It's unreal to think that people are not afraid, insecure, or intimidated by following their dreams with the social pressures they live within. The journey is difficult sometimes, but going through each level allows us to appreciate the lessons as we move to the next phase. Val works with the youth and the guidance I've seen her place on her students has also helped me have better gauge in helping people in my field. Awareness is something she really brought more of into my life. Finding your calling sounds complicated, but she breaks it down so easy! Enjoy this segment

Being good at something can sometimes attract negativity from outsiders and we briefly go over how we navigate through them and not letting them take over our emotions.

Hi Everyone! My first guest is a dear friend of mine. Over the last few years, I've watched him grow into this new realm of clientele. It is not always the easiest road, but when you hear about what he has gone through, you will develop an even deeper appreciation for why he is so committed to his craft. This story is deep and I am so happy that he was able to be so courageous to share the darkest parts of his life. He's worked insanely hard for many years now to perfect each of his cuts and because of that, it led him to have the confidence to approach and eventually be the go-to barber for the NFL. Now, he regularly takes care of some of the best in the game and I am sure he is not stopping anytime soon. He drops some gems in this episode about social media and the importance of why having this online portfolio is so important to his business. Enjoy!
