Tonight the crew had ARCA driver Chris Golden call in from Oklahoma. We had a great conversation, what a guy! Check it out!

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.

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

Hunt for Gold: After years of wondering who read aloud the text message that changed his life, Ethan Rauschkolb attempts to track down and thank the boy who wrote the “Stay Golden” message. This raw and heartfelt look at grief, loss, and remembrance will have you scrambling to relisten the moment you finish.

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

The year is already off to an incredible start as I'm officially published by VoyageLA Magazine! In this episode, I discuss this achievement and how it could open doors for my career. From the overwhelming love and support I've received to reflecting on the relationships that didn't show up as I hoped, I'll talk about how this milestone has shed light on areas of my life that need adjustment. I haven't had a chance to celebrate yet—the grind didn't stop this past weekend as I worked on a vinyl installation for my brother's Jeep. But I'm making space to celebrate this weekend, getting ahead on work so I can truly enjoy the moment. Advice Corner: Remember, what's meant for you will flow effortlessly into your life. You don't have to stress, worry, chase, or fight for it. Let this mantra set the tone for your 2025. Tune in for a conversation about gratitude, growth, and celebrating what's truly meant for you. Stay Golden y'all

In this episode, I reflect on stepping away from work to truly live. From an adventurous wheeling trip to Calico to ringing in New Year's Eve for the first time in years, I share how these moments have shaped my intentions for the new year. I'll also take you behind the lens at La Cruda Cruise, where getting out and creating—even with a slight hangover—felt like a refreshing start to 2025. I'll dive into my personal resolutions: being more present, prioritizing happiness, saying no to things that don't serve me, investing in meaningful relationships, and making time for passions like wrenching, cooking, and perfecting my craft. Plus, I'll share some advice inspired by serenity scripts to help you on your journey: embrace baby steps, harness the power of self-awareness, and remember that mindset changes begin with habit changes. Let's start this year by believing in ourselves and living intentionally. Stay Golden y'all

This week, I take you through a whirlwind of holiday reflections and experiences. From attending the Irwindale closing event to celebrating Christmas with Genocide Car Club, I explored what these moments meant and how they shaped my perspective this season.

Christmas Day brought clarity as I spent it with my brother, working on the house and the jeep—choosing family and connection over the usual grind. Plus, a heartfelt reminder: put the people you love first because work will always be there. Tune in for personal stories, advice, and a celebration of what matters most. Stay Golden y'all

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

Life isn't about finding perfection; it's about deciding, adjusting, and continuing to choose what feels suitable for 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. Driving home, my mind was filled with thoughts about the next steps and the moves I must make as I move forward with my new venture.Sunday on Melrose was about celebrating the visionaries Armando and Albert, alongside two other masters of their craft, who have created something truly impactful. Witnessing these events and the dedication of people who inspire our community is incredible.With everything on my plate, I've been feeling the toll of the constant "GO GO GO" mode, so spending time with Albert and Yesi was the recharge I desperately needed. This episode dives into how I'm learning to allow myself time to fully recharge, say "no" to over-committing, and give myself permission to grow and evolve without constant pressure.I'm setting boundaries to protect my emotional well-being—avoiding certain people, limiting what I share, and being mindful of the energy I let in. I also focus on responding with kindness over anger, especially toward myself. Join me as I talk about making time each day to reconnect, seeking out conversations that inspire, and taking small but essential steps to nurture my growth.Stay Golden y'all

In this episode, I'm sharing highlights from an unforgettable week. The Dodgers took home the win, and as a longtime fan, I couldn't miss the excitement of the parade!

In this episode, we're diving into the impact of Irwindale Speedway's closure and what it truly means for the Southern California community, the car scene, and those who grew up around it. Irwindale wasn't just a track for me and the boys—it was a gathering spot, proving ground, and the heart of SoCal's car culture. We're feeling the loss firsthand with the track removed, much like when AAA left the scene.

Tune in for advice on how to see yourself as capable, choose rest before burnout, and turn the love you give outward back toward yourself.Stay Golden y'all

In this episode, we dive into the idea that sometimes there's no need to evaluate decisions right after making them. What if we allowed life to play out instead of rushing into judgment or second-guessing ourselves? We'll explore the importance of patience, self-trust, and giving our choices the space they need to unfold naturally. From overcoming anxiety about the unknown to learning how to embrace the present moment, we'll talk about how letting go of the need for immediate validation can lead to more clarity and peace.As you listen, take in the message: Trust your choices, give them time, and let yourself live a little.

In this episode, I dive into a packed weekend—helping a buddy unpack his rig fresh off the Rubicon, getting under the hood of my car, and wrapping things up by shooting and working an event on Sunday. But it wasn't all action; a severe conversation with a friend led us down the rabbit hole of lying—how it affects us, our relationships, and even our sense of self. I also explore the intriguing subject of people who don't experience emotions, what that looks like, and how it plays into the broader conversation on honesty and human behavior.

On this week's episode we welcome Holden Wolf of Baltimore's Emo Punks COMBAT.  Combat recently released their long awaited first full length album "STAY GOLDEN." Holden lets us behind the scenes about the creation of the album, saying "Stay Golden was written in my freshman and sophomore year of college as I was trying to figure out how to act like an adult while also trying to tour in my band 2-3 times a year as well as continue to run the record label I had started when I was 15. This is an album about struggling to identify with my own identity that I'd created for myself and most notably struggling to identify with the music scene. It's about trying to understand what it means to “Stay Golden” as a sort of ideal way of living to me and to the people around me."We cover all this and more, be sure to tune in and check out what COMBAT has to offer!

Join us as we unpack the steps to break free from self-abandonment, cultivate self-love, and find a balance between compassion for others and preserving your well-being. Tune in for practical insights on setting boundaries and reclaiming your sense of self in relationships. Stay Golden y'all

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. Let's talk about making the most of every moment and living with intention. Stay Golden y'all

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. Yesterday is gone, and tomorrow's a mystery. Move forward with confidence and gratitude for the choices you make today. Stay Golden y'all

In this episode, we reflect on recent stories shared, exploring the power of choice and how it shapes our lives. When we finally choose ourselves—choosing faith, trust, and remembering the good that has come from the bad—everything else aligns with us. We'll dive into the importance of surrendering what drains our energy and peace and how, in doing so, life begins to choose us in return. As Vincent Van Gogh wisely said, "What is done in love is well done." Stay Golden y'all
