Viridiana and Jennie are two of my great friends who love making fun of me. These are the facts! However, it does make for a very entertaining episode. This episode is about 75% laughs and cackling then 25% digging into talking about who we are and how we believe people perceive us. Jennie & Viri are two amazing people with huge hearts under all their roasting, who have always accepted me for my weird self. I appreciate their support both on the podcast and in life. Support them and enjoy this fun episode.

Jose Tejada is a mortgage lender based in Los Angeles county but helps people across state lines. We sit down and talk about misconceptions people have about the housing market and getting into a new home. Jose is actively working with people to get them what they are looking for but we didn't make the episode a big commercial. As usual, we dug into his background and how has coped with being in a business dominated by other races.

Michelle Reynoso Esq. is a criminal defense attorney in San Diego that joins the show for a second time. This time around she addresses the Roe V Wade issue to give us a more in depth look of what it really means and why it’s important. I always appreciate her expertise and insight so we cover more social issues like law enforcement. Like always we dig into our upbringing and how we see the progress our parents have made in regards to mental health.
We hope you never need Michelle but if you do, she is a great resource. Find her below.

Rudy Vargas is a community activist in City Heights. Rudy was born in City Heights and has a lot of pride in his city. We have a discussion on how the community has helped build him to the man he is today. Rudy also discusses his journey at SDSU. He consistently brings great energy and a positive attitude to everything he does, so it was great to explore his outlook a bit closer.
Our conversation was very laid back and easy to listen to. Our goal was to make it an episode even he would listen to. Join the conversation!

Eddie Michel returns to the podcast, back by popular demand!! Eddie is a fashionista but refuses to accept his influencer status. However, everyone who knows him loves him. We dig into hilarious stories that Eddie always has ready to go, definitely can't miss those.
The most important part is that Eddie is breaking stigmas in the gay community. He is candidly honest about his struggles and how he pushes himself to grow all the time. This honesty and bravery has helped many others be more open about who they are and they have Eddie to thank for the inspiration.
There's a reason Eddie is a fan favorite and if you haven't heard his first episode tune into episode 18 and go from there.
