About a month ago we had the privilege of speaking with this Rockstar during our first ever panel.  But we wanted to bring him back.   Scott Kinman aka spectral bonsai joins us today as we talk about the challenges and wins of being a working artist.  But honestly this conversation can go anywhere.    

Come hungry,  because value is on the menu tonight!

Hey Rock5tar is recorded in front of a live virtual audience.

Hope you all had a wonderful Turkey day last week. I know I missed you.  

Stuff has happened.  And I might have reacted.  Lol.   

Anyways,  tonight we're just gonna vent and figure out what to do when "IT" hits the fan.    See you soon.

In this episode, I'm swapping stories with the legendary Diego Brawn. 

Hungry for something big,  Diego came to Nashville as a boy with crazy dreams.   Today,  he's a man who has toured,  created music,  and now owns his own production business.  

Can't wait to hear all the value he's picked up along his journey.

Hey yo, today we're gonna have a pleasant conversation with a rockstar photographer.   

Jeremy Poland and I met back at SALT and woah did he blow me away with his skills.   

But the energy this Rockstar brings is what really stands out. 

Get ready for a great conversation jam packed with value.

Whether you want to make something, try something or perform something amazing.  

You have to start.  

But what do you do to get you ready to start?  

Today I'm sharing a few of my random stories and methods on how I get ready to create.   

Take a seat scholars. Class is now in session.

Tis the season! Let's get chocolate wasted! Don't know about you but my favorite time of the year is the day after halloween, when all the candy is at half price!   

I didn't really get to grow up celebrating halloween, but when I did boy did I.  So tune in hear some of my memorable all Hallows eve stories.

Have you ever heard of Salt Conference? It's an event for church leaders and creatives who serve behind the scenes. Yeah, those people who make the show work, this conference is for them. I've been wanting to go for awhile now. Not only did I go, but I got asked to be their BTS videographer. This is a just a little recap of my first experience.

First guest of season 2, Mark Barreras or as his streamers know him, Mark the Barbon, is so ready to come onto the show today.   We have major history together and are planning on sharing some great stories on life,  failure,  and passion.  Come hungry for growth,  value is what's on the menu

Seriously We're officially running season 2 now. I have so many thoughts. So much new stuff to share. We're still figuring all this out. Please join us for all the fun.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a first step " -- Chinese Proverb  

What a crazy first season we've had, Rockstar.  Today we're gonna reflect on just how much we've grown.  And I might share a little of what's coming up for season 2. See you inside!

In this episode I wanted to share my experience at "Get Motivated Nashville!" And,  well let's just say my experience wasn't as motivating as I thought.  Haha.  Should be a short episode.  😉

It only took 48 episodes but we finally got a real estate agent to come on our show.  And we didn't get just anyone.    

We got Nashville's legendary dancing realtor,  Daniel Swaw.  

This amazing man has a lot a value he's ready to drop on our show,  so you better come hungry for growth.

If you enjoyed last week,  then get ready because we've brought another hard hitter in the Entertainment industry.  

This Rockstar is killing it in the game as an actor,  producer,  and now director.  

James David West is bringing so much value to the show,  you better come hungry for growth

This week we're bringing another rockstar who's made a name for himself in the music industry.  I've had the pleasure of singing,  dancing and just laughing with this man.  

Monty Rivera is an energetic latino with a voice that can break glass. And he's agreed to share his story and bring value to the Rock5tar community. Better come hungry for growth!

Hello my fellow Rockstars.  So today I wanted to elaborate on one of the three main points I focus on in my speaking.  

Detaching from failure.   

I know a thing or two or fifty about failing.  And nothing is more frustrating than the paralyzing affect it can have on you.  You owe it to yourself to learn to move on.   This week, I'm gonna attempt to help you do just that.

You read that right! This week we have two Emilianos live and present for your valuetainment.  

Eli Emiliano is a Leader, a father, a musician,  radio host,  and someone who've I looked up too for a long time.  Life hasn't been perfect,  but we have an awesome story to share with you today.   

Come hungry for growth,  because value is on the menu.

Does the professional music world capture your attention? Perhaps faith technology or businesses growth is more your calling.  What about being able to call yourself,  my business buddy? Haha  

Jared Romano is the legend who can check all these boxes and then some.  If you finally learned how to spell entrepreneur then this show is for you.   Come hungry for growth because we are serving up some value!

What do music,  ministry,  and moving alone to a new city have in common? The answer,  they have all been mastered by my guest this week.  Lorenzo Baylor is another literal Rockstar who knows first hand how hard it is to find yourself in a new place with nothing but a dream.    

As he shares his story,  come ready to grow, because his story has so much value.

To say that my guest this week is a creative is an understatement.  From hustling creative tees, to creating a living piece that is now an icon of San Antonio, TX. This artist can do it all.  

Avi Avalos is the Rockstar behind the sensation known as Mr Piñata! And tonight he's bringing the rock5tar gold! Better come hungry for growth,  bc value is on the menu.   

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Another solo episode.  

We had a death in the family.  And I have a lot of thoughts on my mind right now.  I've got stories for you Rockstar.    

Wearing my heart out on my sleeves for this one.  We'll keep it short.

I am beyond excited for this week's guest.  

Andrew Holt is a Worship Pastor, influential leader,  a songwriter,  a father,  a husband, and all around one of the coolest people I know.   Even though this man has created works that have impacted millions around globally,  he has such a humble and giving heart and we are honored to have him on our show.    

I hope you are hungry for growth because value is definitely on the menu today.

This week we're changing it up. We're gonna try to do an all Spanish set. So bring your translator.   

Saul Diaz is a natural conversationalist.  This Rockstars first came to this country with literally nothing,  and today he says he has it all.   Hope you're hungry for growth because we're serving up some value.   

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  

Esta semana lo cambiaremos. Intentaremos hacer un set completamente español. Así que trae tu traductor.  

Saul Diaz es un conversador natural. Este Rockstar llegó por primera vez a este país literalmente sin nada, y hoy dice que lo tiene todo.  Espero que tenga hambre de crecimiento porque estamos ofreciendo algo de valor.

What do you get when you mix a drummer,  a Youtuber,  and an entrepreneur? You get a Rockstar named Christian Taylor! 

This young influencer is making his mark online and we're so excited he's agreed to chat with us this episode.   

So if you're hoping to make a mark on YouTube,  come hungry for value,  because that's what's on the menu.   

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've been struggling a lot these days,  Rockstar.  But you know,  I think it best that instead of hiding my feels,  I let you into my raw raw journey.

Enter at your own risk.  You'll still find value tho.

Yes,  it was a close call but we're good now since today we have a Doctor in the house!  Dr. Drake Dudley practices general dentistry but he doesn't stop there.  He's also a mentor and motivational speaker! Hope you come hungry for growth because value upon value is on the menu tonight.

This week we pulled in a big favor and she delivered! We are honored to have this Rockstar today.  Molly May Rockwell sings,  writes,  acts,  and slays the social media game.  But her story is one of legends.   Better come hungry for growth,  y'all bc value is on the menu once again.

Yo Rockstar! This week we have a Rockstar in the field of dating and relationships.  But this conversation goes way deeper than that.   Edward Daniels is a conscious dating coach who mastered the art of mental strength through meditation.  Rockstar you better come hungry for knowledge because we're serving up a lot of value in this one.

I'm so excited about the Rockstar we have on the show this week.  Emily James was a fashion dreamer who's making her style come alive.  This entrepreneur has an amazing story that I can't wait to help share.  Come hungry for growth, value is on menu!  

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The three hardest statements for anyone to say are: "I'm sorry." "I need help." And "Worcestershire sauce!"  

In this episode we're focusing on the I need help.  And the best place to start is by asking for help.  Well asking in general.  Tonight we're discussing the art of asking. Value is waiting for you.

We have a very special guest this week.  This Rockstar is an author,  a keynote speaker, an entrepreneur, and a mother to a multicultural family. And if that's not enough,  she even climbed mount Kilimanjaro and lived to talk about it!

Tune in as we interview the amazing,  Simone Knego! And you know that this conversation is going to have lots of value.

If you're constantly seeking approval from others,  you might be a nice guy.  

If you're annoyed that others aren't treating you in kind,  you might be a nice guy. 

If you're constantly getting friend- zoned,  you might be a nice guy.   

I know! It's annoying.  But fear not. In this episode,  I've got some valuable tips to help you finally say goodbye to that Mr. or Ms. Nice Guy.

And hello Mr. Rockstar!

If you're having CASH problems I feel bad for you son,  I've got 99 problems,  but thanks to this Rock5tar,  MONEY ain't one!

Yo! This week we have Jonathan Winkler.  He is a rockstar when it comes to financial planning,  investing,  and options trading.

I am blessed to call him my brother and can't wait to have a conversation that will of course be over flowing with value.

With the trinity of jobs that are Family,  Church,  and School--this week's guest is a Rockstar when it comes to Life.   

This Interview With a Rockstar features Moises Rodríguez: a husband,  a father,  a lead pastor, and a high school assistant principle.    

So much value is cooking up for this conversation.  It's going to be a great one!

What do you get when you combine an educator,  a business owner,  a mother,  a spouse,  and podcaster? 

You get this Rockstar,  Judith Espinoza.   

I've known Judith literally since I was 5. So we're going off the books on this one and just having a fun conversation full of value.

What happens when you put all your eggs in one basket and then that basket breaks? Totally sucks when events like 2020 happen and all your hard work and dreams are now garbage.

Tune in as I share some stories and also provide value to help you move forward when life doesn't work out the way you planned.

This week's rockstar is a pastor, father, leader, and a defensive coordinator. Greg Ferguson has been one of my best friends since we crashed into each other back in university. Literally crashed. On the gridiron. This was a fun talk. But again, packed with a lot of value that you can start applying  today.

What's the big difference between amateurs and professionals? Amateurs try their best to not look like they're winging it, but professionals, we know we're going to wing it!

So this show, is about winging it. Or am I just winging it tonight? Haha! Either way, there's a lot of value in this one.

Although today, thanks to technology, never in history have we ever been more connected.  

But at the same time,  never have I seen a more lonely generation.  Now, honestly this episode won't help you win the most popular award at your high school prom dance.   

But,  it may just give you the confidence needed to add people to your next hang.  

Either way,  you're gonna get a lot of value.

Jimmy Healey is a rockstar in the music and entertainment industry. One of the first friends I ever made here in Nashville. Listen well, as he shares tales from his tours and valuable lessons about mental strength, finding rest, and the importance in surrounding yourself with people of value.

This will probably be my my most controversial story yet.  Of course,  my aim is not to please but rather simply to tell you my story.

There are valuable lessons in this one.  Lessons that are helping me become the Rockstar that I was created to be.

Daniel Hernandez is a dear friend of mine. We worked together back when I was out of the country. Fast forward to today and Daniel is now a family man with a need... actually, A Knead to Bake! If you like sourdough bread, then you will love his Youtube channel, A Knead to Bake.
