What happens when you put a masked graffiti artist in front of a microphone and let the conversation go wherever it wants? A LOT. 😂

On this episode of Here's to You, we're joined by Deber, an anonymous artist whose work around the city is about much more than making walls look good. We get into the meaning behind his name, why he takes his art so seriously, and how staying behind a mask lets the work speak louder than the person.

But this conversation goes way beyond graffiti. We're talking about gossip, capitalism, immigration, AI-generated art, and why getting outside your own bubble can completely change how you see the world. Deber doesn't shy away from sharing his opinions, and we definitely don't run out of things to debate.

We also get into the relationship between art and humanity, the pressure to pursue perfection, and a surprisingly deep conversation about morality, religion, and what it means to create your own heaven or hell here on Earth.

And yes, there's plenty of joking around along the way. We wouldn't be Here's to You without it.

This conversation got so good that we had to split it into two parts. Consider this Part 1 of a conversation that proves street art can open the door to some pretty big ideas.

🎙️ Tune in, join the conversation, and let us know which hot take you agree—or disagree—with the most.

Meme Phommachanh is figuring it out — just like the rest of us.

She's a model, content creator, entrepreneur, marketer, pageant director, and the founder of Social Grace. And after recently leaving her 9-to-5, she's giving herself the freedom to pursue the things she's always wanted to do.

We talk about giving yourself grace, following your dreams, the pressure we put on ourselves, social media, comparison, mental health, and learning to be comfortable with the parts of yourself that once made you uncomfortable.

Meme also shares the story of how participating in the Wichita Asian Festival pageant transformed her relationship with her Laotian heritage and helped her better understand her family's journey to America.

And because this is Here's to You, we also somehow end up talking about a viral dolphin noise, gaming, spicy Lao food, Taylor Swift, drinks, and why Meme may be the most energetic person we've had behind the microphone.

It's funny, vulnerable, chaotic, and ultimately a conversation about becoming more comfortable with who you are.

Here's to Meme. 🥂

What does success look like when you're building a creative life on your own terms?

In this episode of Here's To You, we sit down with DJ Sunshine, a Wichita-based DJ, producer, entrepreneur, and creative who is building a career rooted in music, community, self-expression, and purpose.

We talk about everything from performing at Burning Man, owning a karaoke business, and producing music full-time, to sobriety, emotional growth, creativity, confidence, and learning how to define success for yourself instead of chasing someone else's version of it.

DJ Sunshine shares how he turned a karaoke hosting opportunity into a business, why he stopped drinking, what Burning Man's principles have taught him about life, and why community matters more than ego.

Of course, we also make a custom Sunshine Spritz, dive into music recommendations, tell ridiculous stories, and wrap things up with our signature lightning round.

🥂 In this episode we discuss:

• Becoming a full-time DJ and producer
• Building passive income through a karaoke business
• Burning Man principles and radical self-expression
• Sobriety and personal growth
• Following creative dreams
• Confidence and authenticity
• Community, friendship, and collaboration
• Music, creativity, and inspiration
• Defining success on your own terms
