A short hiatus but we’re back this week! And on this week’s show, we talk about COMPLACENCY! It’s something that has been on my list of topics for a while, so why not tackle it! We all find ourselves in a place like this, but how do you get out of it?  And even more important, how do you prevent relapsing back into it? Enjoy the show!

MugenCast Ep. 60 - 'Standstill'

This is one for the OGs….If you’ve been around since the beginning you’ll know one of my first episodes was with two of my friends: John and Elly. That was almost 3 years ago now. And so much has changed... On this episode we catch up with Elly Tran: Singer, songwriter, model (just a very multifaceted artist). To fulfill her dreams, at 19, she went to Los Angeles to pursue a singing career. And while that does sound glamorous, the reality is much more harsh. But through that difficulty she discovered more about herself than ever before… Enjoy!

MugenCast Ep. 59 - 'LA' w/ Elly Tran (Singer/Entertainer)

You know this episode takes me back to the earlier days of MugenCast. Just a really relaxed, somewhat random conversation with a great guest... From cats fighting in the background to brussel sprouts almost burning to a ton of technical difficulties this was a really fun conversation. But as fun and playful as it it was, my guest this time around presents an interesting take on modeling as an art, and how growth as a person can coincide with a growth in a creative passion. The dilemma for the modern day creative is oftentimes balancing the more practical pursuits with a creative dream.. Enjoy!

MugenCast Ep. 58 - 'True To Yourself' w/ Dyani Hairston (Fashion Model)

Could you imagine moving to another state with the singular goal of chasing a creative passion? Well my guest today is someone who did!  Mike Gray is an actor, photographer, and all around creative. And on this episode he sat down to discuss how he fell in love with his craft, the ups and downs of chasing a passion like acting, and how he discovered a new passion that has him completely enthralled....

So, 2020 is just about over...finally!  And I wanted to sit down and wrap-up my year with you all. What I’ve gone through this year (good and bad), and what’s coming in 2021… Enjoy!

MugenCast Ep. 56 - '2020...A Year In Review'

The journey to one’s passion is often a long and winding road... And the story of Leigh Ellis (The Starters/No Dunks podcast) is the epitome of that idea. Now in his 40’s Leigh has carved out a respectable career as a sports media personality and analyst. But the story he tells in this episode predominantly occurs years before that success... In this episode we dive into Leigh’s past: growing up in Australia, working odd jobs overseas, finding the love of his life in another country, and all the ups and downs before he ultimately found his way back to basketball.

MugenCast - Update!

Episode 53 is here! I’ve wanted to get this to you all for a while now and it took a littleeee long but trust me it’s worth the wait! My guest today is Gajan Balan. An INCREDIBLE creative mind, and someone who I can legitimately say I look up to.... I came across his work about 6 months ago and I’ve been a fan since. In this episode, I get to sit down and pick his brain about his creative and non-creative life. And how he’s forged a path for himself through hard work, self-discipline, and belief. This episode is easily one of my favorites. I hope it’ll be one of yours too... Enjoy!

Episode 2! Of 'Casual Conversations'. And I know what you’re thinking..."but isn’t this an interview?".  Well yes, and no. My guest today is Josh Wool: a California-based photographer that is so down to earth and easy to talk to...I can’t even call this an interview! We just talked, about life, photography, and current events in the world. Sit back, relax, and enjoy...this Casual Conversation.

Casual Conversations Ep. 2 - 'Soul Food' w/ Josh Wool

A new series has appeared! Kinda...  So this episode came about from me wanting to do a podcast with my homie, John Obassy. But it's not "classical' interview, so what do I do? Create a new type of podcast of course! Casual Conversation will be the podcasts I do with my homies, more informal and we'll just shoot the breeze.  But anyway, in this episode we talk about everything....literally. We talked about: creativity, fitness, systemic racism, Covid-19, and a ton of other stuff. SO! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the sounds of two friends catching up.  Enjoy!

Casual Conversations - 'Days Gone By' w/ John O

"Creativity is more than just making something beautiful...it requires a rigid morality to create something real"... I just made that quote up.  But! That isn't a standard that everybody can uphold, however, my guest on this week's episode does it dutifully. And I wanted to sit down with him to learn about how he's kept this morality and genuine creative spirit alive throughout his career.  This is definitely one for the "artsy-types". But even if you don't fall into this category I think the introspection and depth in this episode will intrigue you...  Enjoy!
