This Valentine’s Day episode breaks down what the holiday really means ...beyond flowers and Instagram posts. After donating 60 meals and learning a hard lesson about preparation and service, Tez explores whether Valentine’s Day is romantic, cliché, or just emotional pressure disguised as love. Are proposals on February 14th cute or convenient? Is the holiday meaningful or commercial? And who is Valentine’s Day actually for? This episode brings humor, reflection, and real perspective on love in all its forms.

Success changes more than your bank account… it changes your family dynamics.

In this episode of Talks With Tez, we dive into the uncomfortable question: When you make it, do you owe your family financially? Using the GloRilla family controversy as a starting point, we explore real listener stories, boundaries, guilt, entitlement, and what giving back really means.

No sides. No fluff. Just honest conversation.

This episode originally aired earlier, but its message remains deeply relevant.

In Simply Me, Cortez shares a personal reflection on coming out...not just verbally, but physically and emotionally...stepping fully into who he is without apology. This episode explores identity, self-acceptance, fear, freedom, and the internal shift that happens when you stop hiding and start honoring your truth.

More than a coming-out story, this is a conversation about embodiment, authenticity, and choosing peace over performance...told honestly, at Cortez’s own pace.
