I appreciate ALL of my guests this #takeoff season. I discuss booking fantastic guests, the importance of consistent action, understanding character, featuring April Simpkins (Cheslie Kryst's mother) to talk about mental health (supporting NAMI), the attempt to secure Jaafar Jackson, resolving Riverside FM issues (transitioning to SquadCast), the March 12th launch, my remote work setup, my website, and lessons on patience, prioritizing quality, celebrating progress, and self-acceptance.

Each episode showed me that you can’t really launch into your next phase of life if something heavy is weighing you down. Whether that be negative people, a stressful job, not enough time for yourself, or even your own fears and anxiety (made up or otherwise), somethings gotta go!

You really learn about yourself when things are turbulent, so I want to encourage you that it’s okay. I be struggling too! I have so many hopes for my platform and would love you to join the community!

In the Season 2 finale of the Host to Host series, I share personal updates, seeking sponsors and new opportunities, and reflect on how creators balance life while building brands. I welcome Tennessee-based creator Reynard Martin (Mr. Rey Goodfella), host of Based on Characters and No Huddle Football News, to discuss how he named his shows, his love of film and interviews, favorite characters like Smokey from Friday, and a playful debate about recasting T’Challa. Reynard explains his laid-back interview style, focusing on guests’ interests and lighthearted questions beyond their usual topics, highlights favorite guest Nina Starks, and names dream interviews Jeffrey Simmons and Jill Scott. He also talks about returning to writing short stories and novellas and advises creators to turn on the camera, pitch their work, and stay visible to grow.

I sat down with Mike Gaines from Arizona, host of The Positive Gaines Podcast, to talk about how he started the show during COVID, chose the name, and what episodes have stood out—especially his interview with wrestler Anthony Robles. We get into his dream guests (including Denzel Washington, Michael B. Jordan, and Jim Carrey), how he decides who’s a good fit to interview, and why patience and better promotion are lessons he wishes he’d learned earlier. Mike also shares how his show art was commissioned, his thoughts on his current theme music, and how his production setup evolved from an iPhone to a more complete Riverside-based studio. He also discusses listening habits, learning Spanish, an upcoming major “Power” series guest, and a children’s book he’s finishing with his daughter illustrating.Follow Mike: @thepositivegaines942

This episode is all about my thoughts on Jaafar Jackson, Michael's legacy and taking your power back. Honestly I did 3 takes cause I really had no words, it was spectacular what all of the artists involved accomplished. What's your favorite MJ track? Mine is Dangerous lol. Here's my 20 mins or less review of the @MichaelJackson movie - currently playing in theaters. Go see it! @JaafarJackson nailed it!Here's how you can send me a voice message:https://www.instagram.com/fyfzpod_/ - link in my bio!
