Alyssa Navarro is Manager of Representation and Inclusion Strategies at The Walt Disney Studios also known as the RISE team. This year, she was named one of the Forbes 30 Under 30. She was also the Executive Producer for the Disney Launchpad, Incubator program, which featured diverse directors who produced short films for Disney+. Co-host of the Sweet or Savory Podcast with her fiance, AJ Rafael. Yep you read that right! We get into how they met, it's an actual disney love story. Outside of her day job, Alyssa is pretty much a real life filipina disney princess! She performed as Mulan for several years at the Disneyland Resort while she was at college in University of La Verne, and sings regularly on her tiktok, which has over 230k followers.In this episode we'll cover…How growing up surrounded by a supportive filipino community shaped Alyssa's future as a performer and leaderThe rising representation of Filipino talent on screen that's just scratching the surface in media and the artsAlyssa's work with the Disney Launchpad Shorts Incubator ProgramWhat happens when your life or career path after college doesn't look the way you thought it would and how to take advantage of the humbling job experiencesThe power of advocating for yourself and your dreams, despite the cultural norm of not allowing yourself as a filipino to take up spaceSurround yourself with people who bring you closer to your cultureImportance of Episode:Representation of the Filipino community is on the rise, and while we're barely just scratching the surface, the importance and need for Filipino talent to be shown on screen remains the same. Filipinas are a force to be reckoned with, our culture and people bring something unique to the spaces we're in. But oftentimes we as Filipina women are afraid to take up that space because we haven't seen people before us do it. It takes brave men and women, like Alyssa, to step out and follow their passions and show future generations what's possible.Connect with Alyssa: (@alyssugh) * Website: https://www.alyssanavarro.com/ * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alyssugh/ Join the Filipina Soul Sisterhood Circle!

He goes in deep sharing personal stories from childhood and relationships and gives us the low down on what it was like in the YouTube 1.0 era. We gotta give it up to AJ for enduring all the hardship he faced and PROPS for killing it in 2018! ENJOY! Myspace - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myspace Findapix - Wow. No information on Findapix.

You know what I mean, its crazy to think that I am an older person, like when I think back, like I still feel very youthful and stuff ya know, but I do ya know, what you were saying earlier I have been thru a ton so like what I really wanna do is just share that with people and let them know that like they're not alone in that, whether it is like losing a parent, being the man of the house, or being an independent entrepreneur or whatever you know all these little things you know I think we all---that’s part of my purpose so I feel like I'm gonna be able to do that for the rest of my life so I feel like I'm still meant to live on this earth. So whether I discover new things or not in different musical ways or whatever so… Balance between quality and consistency 54:07 Consistency wins on any platform because that platform whether its YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter…they want you to be on that app forever, and they want your users to stay on that app. So like the algorithms will work in a way where they see you being consistent they're gonna put your video at the top of the search results they're gonna make it more relevant to the users who are watching you, you know what I mean -- its all about the attention rate too, so they can see, you can see yourself, if you look on your YouTube channel, how long people are watching and stuff matters. So what I learned with all these videos, even the light on a certain part of my face and us taking an hour to figure out the lights doesn't matter to some people. You know what I mean, I learned little things that, where its like people just want to see content, but then there were those projects where I was like I really do care about the lights about the way the light goes on this because this is a track that I recorded that is a cover that means a lot to me… 55:29 The pull between quality and consistency, that when I realized its always going to be there, and you have to pick and choose your battles. You know what I mean and its like, care about the videos you want to care about, you know what I mean, cuz some of the ones that and even some of the ones you don't care about are the ones that are gonna go viral. Like the one that got the most hits in that month was this video where we lost the footage of 2 other angles. And were all like ah shit all we have is this diagonal footage lets just put it out anyways. And we put it out, 6 million views!

If you are considerate of the way a certain person communicates and you try to put yourselves in their shoes and you communicate it in that way then the world would be a better place theoretically and you finding that peace with each other you can have that respect for each other whether it ends on a good note or not. https://www.kinjaz.com/podkast https://www.kinjazpodkast.com https://www.instagram.com/kinjazpodkast https://www.twitter.com/kinjazpodkast https://www.facebook.com/kinjazpodkast
