This week We count it up with Mustin, a composer and producer for one of my favorite bands, The One Ups. He throws down these 3 takeaways for you:
1. When you find your thing, whatever it is, it'll come naturally. Trust it!
2. Even though you're great at what you do, you may not always get the recognition and accolades (maybe you crawled so that someone can run). Don't give up, persevere.
3. Often times when you're shifting gears in life, you'll need to bet on yourself. That's a chance worth taking!
Of course we close with our 3 Whats which you don't want to miss.

EP 84 Intentional Spanish Teacher Coach Tim Wood Runs For City Council
You never know who will show up on your doorstep. I thought Tim Wood had something to sell and he did, indirectly.

My neighbor running for office presented a unique opportunity that would be beneficial for us both. So here we are, reliving the legacy of Tim Wood, from small-town Mormon to Bilingual teacher trying to make a difference in his community. See the links below for more content.

EP 75 Chipper Screenwriter Gareth Preston Talks Supporting Roles, Acting and Pantomime
Gareth and I have a blast discussing both his day job and his hobby of writing and acting. He's a Jack-Of-All-Trades, he just keeps learning and doing. I had no idea we'd talk so much about pantomiming, a play that also involves the audience. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did. Thank you for listening.

Behind The Scenes with Gareth Preston
Technical difficulties show their head a bit but of course we start off talking about our day. We also talk about dogs; how they motivate us as well as how they're a part of our families. Music is always apart of the discourse before we start.
At the end we talk about favorite parts and what we missed. Also, the random trivia we never got to.
Behind The Scenes with Emi Kirschner
We get things going with the usual questions, What do you need to do to get your day going? and What are you listening to? Coffee and podcast prep rule the day. We also talk about the many hats of Empress Emi.
Afterwards we talk about how we think the episode went (I was so tired). We learn what the Empress liked the most about the interview, why podcasting is difficult and what's next for Empress Enterprises.

EP 73 Noble Sprinter Mfoniso Andrew talks Harvard Track, Loving Yourself and African Heritage
Mfoniso was a high school student of mine and she's been impressive since the day I met her on the court of a junior varsity basketball game. Little did I know that she had already made her name as one of the rising stars in track and field. We chronicle her journey from high school to Harvard, from Junior Olympics to PENN Relays and how her African heritage gives her great confidence. Be sure to rate, review and share this amazing story. Thank you for listening.

Behind The Scenes with Mfoniso Andrew
She actually asked the first question; Why did you start a podcast? So we talk about it. I start with what do you need to do to get ready for your day and she gives a great answer that helps her confidence and then we talk music. What are you listening to as you walk the Harvard grounds?
Afterwards we talk favorite parts of the episode, what's next and how awesome Mfoniso is. We also talk more about family and how important it is to have a great support system.
Behind The Scenes with John Mendez
We had a little bit of a late start and we talk about why (my wife and son). We talk about trying to find time to figure out what's next, for John it's a virtual summit! What do you need to do to get your day going and what are you jamming to right now are definitely great kickoff questions? We also talk about podcasting, a lot! We swap tactics and ideas on what we can do to make our podcasts better.
EP 72 Energetic Public Speaker John Mendez talks Real Estate, Building Wealth & Hair Routine
I couldn't NOT start with John's beautiful hair lol. Because I have my own hair journey, I wanted to hear his and understand how his look ties into his confidence. We go from there into school and family life then he tells a great college story about a decision between a scholarship and following his passion for business. He's done so much in such a short period of time including real estate, starting a social media marketing company as well as starting and hosting his very own Walk To Wealth Podcast. Watch and listen to this great conversation with John Mendez. Thank you for listening.
