As we close out 2025, we want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who tapped in, supported, shared, and showed love to Say What You Mean with Jéan P the MC.

This year, we dropped 24 episodes featuring a wide range of guests—artists, creatives, organizers, entrepreneurs, and community voices—all highlighting what’s really going on in Canton, Ohio and beyond. From real conversations and personal stories to culture, growth, and community impact, every episode was rooted in authenticity and purpose.

This platform exists to give people space to speak their truth, share their journeys, and connect dots within the city we love. None of this happens without the listeners, the viewers, and the guests who trusted us with their stories.

— Jéan P the MC

On Episode 190 of Say What You Mean with Jéan P the MC, we sit down with Michael Carvajal, the owner/operator behind Mike’s Pizza, the New York–style slice shop inside the Fourth Street Collective in Canton, Ohio.

Born in Santiago, Chile and raised just outside New York City, Mike grew up around the classic slice shops that shaped his love for the perfect pie. After moving to Canton in 2012 and searching for a taste of home, he took matters into his own hands—experimenting, researching, and refining a recipe that captured the real-deal NYC slice.

He teamed up with Ryan Miller of Deli Ohio, built a loyal following through years of pop-ups, and eventually launched Mike’s Pizza as part of a growing food community on Fourth Street.

In this episode, we talk:

🍕 Mike’s journey from Chile to NYC to Canton

🍕 The craft behind authentic New York–style pizza

🍕 Building a food business from scratch

🍕 How pop-ups created a movement

🍕 The power of community support

🍕 Canton’s evolving food scene

We kick things off with some fun ice breakers, dive into Mike’s story, and close with P’s Positive Point, reflecting on how passion, patience, and community can turn a dream into something real.

Whether you’re a pizza lover, a creator, or someone chasing your own recipe for success—this episode is for you.

In this episode of Say What You Mean, Jéan P the MC sits down with community leader and newly elected Canton City Schools Board of Education member Skyler Parks. Fresh off his big win, Skyler joins the show to talk about what this moment means for the city, for the students, and for the future of leadership in Canton.

We kick things off with some fun—music talk, Wale appreciation, and laughs—before diving into deeper conversations about purpose, discipline, and what it looks like to lead with intention. Skyler opens up about fatherhood, family, and the values that drive his commitment to the community.

Jéan also shares a personal milestone after making the cover of The Postal Record, reflecting on what it means to represent the USPS, the city, and the culture on a national level.

This episode is equal parts real talk, celebration, inspiration, and storytelling.

Tap in for an honest, uplifting conversation between two brothers dedicated to growth, service, and Canton.
