*Trigger Warning Discussion of Suicide*

What happens when a DJ with a passion for music decides to switch gears and focus on photography? My guest today shares their incredible journey, exploring how the COVID-19 pandemic prompted them to pause, reflect, and ultimately transform their career from spinning tracks to capturing the vibrant world of hospitality through a lens. We unravel the parallels between music and photography and discuss how adaptability and understanding the needs of others can lead to fulfilling personal and professional growth.

Our conversation takes a heartfelt turn as we discuss the evolution of values and responsibilities that comes with becoming a family provider. The journey from bachelorhood to fatherhood is filled with challenges, love, and a new understanding of leadership within the household. Listen to personal stories that highlight the struggles and joys of parenthood, especially when growing up without a strong father figure. The incredible resilience of parental figures shines through as we reflect on the importance of health and support in maintaining a balanced lifestyle.

Friendships and community play a pivotal role in this episode as we explore the profound impact of simple acts of kindness and genuine connections. We share experiences that emphasize the importance of being present for friends without the pressure to solve their problems. Delve into diverse perspectives on spirituality and masculinity, focusing on honesty, responsibility, and authenticity. Appreciate the significance of contributing positively to one's community, and hear my gratitude towards our first-ever guest, whose insights left a lasting impression and ignited excitement for future conversations.
