Where My Dawgs At?!

Join zay (José) and Angel (not a girl) as they begin with a preamble on how they are a first of their kind: Mexican and raised in Brooklyn. This episode takes you down a journey of linguistics and how growing up in Williamsburg (BK) shaped the lingo and way in which the two hosts expressed themselves through linguistics. Some expressions are no longer acceptable and things change for the best, as being inclusive is of utter importance (bc as you'll hear, the hosts have had their share of experiences with lack of inclusion). Let us know if any of this shit sounds familiar and if we said linguistics one too many times.

In this episode, Jose and co-host Raya get transparent about lack of persistency and reasons for not showing up persistently. By first acknowledging the gap between our goals and where we are, it is possible to reach consistent quality performance. In order to understand not only the importance, but the pillars that makes up persistency - we take a look into the start of one of Jose's favorite celebs: Will Ferro

Examples are all around us, especially in our friends. Chances are, if you continue to hang around someone or keep in touch with them; there is a quality they possess that you can learn from -We interviewed a good friend of ours (SHEI PHAN) to get more insight on all of the time effort and dedication she puts into her craft (ART). To see her grow and to watch her dreams become a reality has been such an honor, it is a great reminder that it doesn't happen over night.

It's safe to say procrastination is a part of human nature. It's a learned behavior we observe since we are children. Therefore it's no surprise how weaved in it is in our everyday life. Whether it's time to do laundry or balance out a check book, we develop stopping strategies to prevent us and simultaneously make us feel good for not doing what we set out to do. Unfortunately this reward feels good for a moment before turning into guilt for not following through. Through awareness we can see the patterns associated with our stopping strategies therefore we can develop counter strategies. Take a listen as we discuss our stopping strategies as well as how we do our best to counter them. Please feel free to connect with us through YouTube and our other platforms.

The majority of us have a warped image of what self worth is supposed to look like. Many times throughout the day we perform behaviors that reflect a poor self worth. We feel as if we don't deserve what we have or what we want. Those feelings lead to behaviors such as procrastination and negative self talk to name a few. We tend to find this cycle often when you are in transition of creating nothing into something, such as being your own source of income (self employed). We can begin to heal the feelings of unworthiness by switching up our belief systems. Take a listen as we explain what has worked for us.

Hello there you beautiful souls,Here is our final part on "Daily Habits That Will Change your Life"This podcast is all about SELF DISCIPLINE.

Meditation can serve as an important tool in regaining control over our inner turmoil. We may not be aware, but our mind is constantly being flooded with information and our mind's job is to classify the new information that comes in to fit our predetermined inner models of life. What's unfortunate is that our models are faulty and revolve around irrational fears. What's fortunate is that with tools like meditation we can begin to retake what's ours. Take a listen as we explain ways that we meditate and the benefits it has brought us. Keep it pimpin everyone.
