Episode 13: Jako de Leon
Jun 10, 202001:17:00Tap to summarizeOur guest for our season finale is Jako de Leon, who lives and breathes creativity every day. Many of his closest buddies would attest that he's probably the most talkative person you will ever meet, but I'd have to admit -- everything he says makes sense 100% of the time! In this episode, Jako talks about adjustments to his new life as a dad, how being born to a family of TV personalities helped his career, his journey of helping vloggers and content creators in their careers, and his vision for the creative industry in the Philippines. Jako is one for the brightest, most creative minds I've met. I am honored to call him my friend!

Episode 8: Jojo The Love Survivor
May 10, 202000:44:59Tap to summarizeWhat I like about my good friend Jarlo Solde, whom the radio and internet world know as "Jojo The Love Survivor" is that his personality, message, and image are all congruent. We live in a world where people think speaking perfect English equates to intelligence. In this episode, Jojo proves otherwise. He cares less about whether his English is right; he only cares if his message got across correctly -- which ultimately is what really matters. Jojo is a true survivor in every sense of the word, not only in love but also in life in general. He narrates how luck has turned to his favor when he found himself extremely brokenhearted, which paved the way for him to be a regular host in a radio show.

Episode 7: Doc Gia Sison
May 9, 202000:25:27Tap to summarizeJust in time for May, which incidentally is also Mental Health Awareness Month, we have in the show Doc Gia Sison, an amazing doctor and mental health advocate, who's been active in fundraising efforts for frontliners (she's also a frontliner herself!) during this COVID-19 pandemic. She talks about what happens in the life of a medical frontliner on a daily basis as we all face the terrors of this disease. She also gives us tips on how we can take care of our mental health during this trying time. Doc Gia said she did not pass the physician licensure exam on her first take -- but she never gave up. She's always been a fighter and a WINNER! A very short episode, but a super inspiring one, indeed!

Episode 6: Kyo Quijano
May 8, 202000:49:40Tap to summarizeWhen we think of Gen Z influencers, we might think of brats who found their fame in the internet by some twist of fate. Kyo Quijano is different. He's a true artist and a natural creative, who struggled and worked very diligently to get to where he is right now. As a full-time content creator, he spends his time strategically planning and writing down plans for all the content that he puts out to his social media channels. In this episode, Kyo walks us through how the life of a full-time content creator is really like, his inspirations and idols in his craft, and my favorite part -- he also gave precious love advice to younger millennials, saying that love is something that shouldn't be rushed. Intelligent conversations? Yes, please!

Episode 5: Rozel Basilio
Apr 28, 202000:45:33Tap to summarizeThis episode comes after a looong hiatus because of all the changes and adjustment that the COVID-19 quarantine brought about. Super duper worth it though as for our 5th episode, sasamahan tayo sa chikahan ni ROZEL BASILIO! Very excited for Rozy as she narrates how she got into YouTube, her life as a full-time content creator, and her plans for the future. She believes in really pursuing something that you're passionate about whatever it takes and says that perseverance and drive really propel someone to achieve his/her dreams. She also shares how she manages her income from YouTube and other online projects. Much wisdom from someone still so young!

Episode 4: Carlo Ople
Mar 12, 202001:05:59Tap to summarizeIt’s not everyday that one can get priceless advice from a top corporate executive, a go-getting entrepreneur, a tech aficionado, a sneaker geek, a hustler content creator, and a certified loverboy – all rolled into one. This episode is one precious hour of learning from Carlo Ople himself, who champions the “7 to 1 Movement” of building one’s dream ventures with a demanding day job in parallel. Carlo talks about how he’s gone from a call center agent job fresh out of college to being one of the most successful people in his industry. While it seems that Carlo has done it all, he only proves that there are even bigger and better things to come, of course giving credit and honoring the best partner he can ever ask for – his wife. :)
