  Speaker 1: Hey, what's up?
• 0:00
  Speaker 2: This is DJ pro Style and this is Penny and
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: this is teach me something brought to you by Berkeley College.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: I truly believe that since the students have been so
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: vocal off camera, that we should bring them on camera
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: and we should flip this.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I think we should do it. I mean,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: right now, let's flip it.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: All right, students, this is your time to shine.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: What would say is what is it that you look
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: forward to the most when you head into class?
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: Ooh, trying to well?
• 0:33
  Speaker 5: I would say, like, building off of what building off
• 0:36
  Speaker 5: of what I know already because I'm a criminal justice major,
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: so for me, like right now, I'm taking criminal law
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: and it's been helpful learning the different types of felonies
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: that New York City has because a lot of people
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: don't know what the justice system like the.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: Type of law is here for New York.
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: And for public speaking, I feel like that would help
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: me because I'm trying to be a crime scene investor
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: the gator, so I feel like when I'm talking to
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: other people, public speaking would help me not stammer over
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: my words, help me to try to navigate how I
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: want to say certain things to get my point across
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: the right way.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: So it's it's been a good experience.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. By the way, I definitely want to follow
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: your journey.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: I would love to call us about it.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: What influenced that for you?
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Well, I grow I'm from I'm from Bedstile. Yes, Miami
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: runs criminal law. I'm not criminal law, Criminal minds.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Criminal Minds, Law and Order.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: SVU Dateline forensic files. But really it all started for me.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: I like to help my community. Like I watched when
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: my mom was alive, my mom gave back to the community.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: My dad, May he rest in peace as well. My
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: dad served in the army for twenty seven years as
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: a telecommunicator for the army.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: So seeing my parents.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: Be so selfless and be there for other people who
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: are in need, that engraved in me like, oh, maybe
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: I can find something that not only am I interested in,
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: but I want to make a difference. And I feel
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: like when I go into this field, not only am
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: I helping you know, people of color, but I also
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: feel like I'm setting an example for the younger generation,
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: like despite what trauma or whatever life throws at.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: You, you can still get out on top.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: I have my daughter at sixteen, and I'm showing her like, yeah,
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: mommy did make some mistakes, but you can still do
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: what you need to do despite whatever life throws at you.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: That's incredible. Got the weitpans. She's gonna sit next to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: me for the rest of it. That's amazing. Well, God
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: bless you on your journey. I think that anything you
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: want to accomplish, you I can see you can accomplish.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: So thank you.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: I always tell people keep first because when you I
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: always tell people you give God thanks for the good,
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: the bad, and the ugly, because no matter what, it's
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: all a test to prepare you for what you know
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: you want to come to you. So I try to
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: be a motivation to everybody, like, no matter what you
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: go through, you can still be able to put your
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: best foot forward. It's not how you start, it's how
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: you finish. I got that from my dad, ken A Frasier.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, she'd be a great speaker.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: I thought about starting my own podcast.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Well you can come back to the plot. I would
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: love you can have a corner and we can talk
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: about you know, it's.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: All the world.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, we got.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: All right recruited. Why come all right? Now you get
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to ask. My first question was amazing.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, like, what are you proud?
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: If that's beautiful?
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: Great, what are you going to follow that up with
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: any starts?
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Someone wasting a couple of million people? It's not a
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: big deal. You know. What's that a big deal? What
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: motivates you every day to get up and continue going
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: to class?
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: Well, I come from from Dominican Republic, so I'm the
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: first one in my family to have two degrees. This
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: is gonna be my second degree. So my first degree,
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: I completed what I was in serf in the army.
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: So I spent four years my last semester for my
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: first degree, I completed what I was doing myself. Because
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: they they are more like, oh, we had to do
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: the army, the training, so I have my own sergeant saying, oh,
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: you don't have time for the school, school, don't te
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: you know anything. I was like, at this, you are
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: wrong because army is a great experiences and everything, but
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: it's not everything in life. For me, it's not everything
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: in life. So I was came here, I can't here
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: two United States? Where am I like? Oh I want
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: my degree, I want to study, I want work hard
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: because nobody in my family do that. So I'm just
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: twenty eight years old. So it's a problem for my
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: family to be the first one in the United States
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: to have two degrees. And I'm going to law school now,
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: so that's gonna be my.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Dirty That's amazing.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I like the study. So my I had two nieces.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: One is two years old. She doesn't understand work. I
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: always tell her. And the other one is twelve. So
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: at the twelve I told her, like, even if you
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: don't like the school or whatever, just keep going because
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: you don't know what life is going to throw to you. Yeah.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: So you're setting the standard. You're the new standard in
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the family.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, a little bit, that's important.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: No pressure, you know, santi Wow and the building shout
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: out Torls.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: That's right, that's from Santiago.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: That's right. Yeah, you know, we keep them.
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: You know what.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: This beautiful, This is great, This is great.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: You love this. That's good. Come back you can right now.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: We don't take too much time away from you know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: you know, mastering the crafts that you're doing. Do you
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: have any questions for the students in here or do
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you talk to them already? Are they in your class? So,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: and I can't.
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: So one of the things that's so interesting and I
• 6:50
  Speaker 8: was thinking about as both of you were talking and
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: telling your incredible stories, was just how human teaching can
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: be and learning can be. And so both Liz and Beyonca,
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: I've had you both just online, Joyce, Yes that's true, Yes,
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: choice too, but you know having these very very human
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: connections even in an online class. And so has that
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: been your experience that your online classes can be very human?
• 7:19
  Speaker 8: You get a chance to know the other students, the
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: other professors, Because for me, when I started to teach online,
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: I was extremely worried about it. I was petrified of
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: it because I felt like it's so hard to create
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: that human experience, that connection, that connection, And I worry
• 7:35
  Speaker 8: now that, especially with AI, despite all the things we
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: can do with it, that that's going to get worse.
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: It's going to become more mechanical, more automated. And so
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: I think one of the best things we can do,
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: and I love to be who are both of your
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: thoughts on this is to just make education such a
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: human thing. Right, we can connect with others, but do
• 7:52
  Speaker 8: you feel like you're connecting with other students online and
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: professor's online in a human way. Have you come across
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: barriers with it? What is your experience taking an online class?
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Liam found his way back to the podcast.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: I blame COVID for how certain people navigate online because
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: I graduated during the pandemic in high school, so when
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: it came time for online nobody was really logging in
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: on their computer, trying to wake up early just to
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: be in the bed to be on a computer screen.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: So I feel like now being that COVID isn't really
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: big big like how it was, it did have a
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: negative impact on how people like me view online learning,
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: Like I feel like for me, it depends on the
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: professor and how they introduced the course and how it's
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: gonna go.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Like with Professor Jason, let me tell you something.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: I love his curriculum, like I'm taking public speaking right now,
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: and I like how it was one assignment he had
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: us write down a list of goals that we wanted
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: to work on for this class that would also help us,
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: you know, outside of school. And one of my goals
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: was getting better at speaking without.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Stammering over my words.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: And I feel like I've been doing good with that
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: so far, and I need.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: To take speak.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Like it's it gets how do I put it?
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: Sometimes I do get nervous because I do have like anxiety,
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: so when I'm speaking in front of like other people, it.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Does get a little nerve racking.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: But I've grown to be comfortable because I want people
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: to know what I have to say.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: I want people to hear what I have to say.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: Maybe it might be stupid, but I feel like anything
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: you say it may not it's not going to be
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: stupid because somebody can learn. Or if you even if
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: you're just venting, somebody who's been in your situation or
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: been in words, will take what you've said and use
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: that as motivation to keep going. And that's what I
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: want for people my age. I'm twenty three and navigating
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: life with no parents. It's hard, so I tell people
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: just be your best self. It's okay to make mistakes.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: We're not perfect, but it's how you overcome those childs
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: and tribulations that really shape you into the future self.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: That is beautifully sad. And you are so profound and
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: so intellectual and so articulate, so you should remove the
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: S word from your vocabulary because everything you have said
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: has been anything but.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Thank you. I appreciate it.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Continue doing what you guys are doing, continue inspiring, and Jason,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: we see your legacy. We always end the pod with,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: you know, describe your legacy in one word, but we
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: see it.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: I was loving when you say, back in my time,
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: it was like education evolution, evolution like us two. Because
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: in your time you have to go to the library.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: I remember mom, my parents said we had to cross
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: the river, and I was like, what do you know?
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: What is that?
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: So for us is like E takes library. We have everything.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: No, we had we had tangible like you had to
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: go to the librarian school and they gave you credits.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: You had you had like printing credits, right, and then
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: after that you had to pay five cents a copy
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: and you had to like yes, you had to photo copy.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: So let's say this is the the guys where I'm
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: currently holding up a Berkeley College notebooks to give an example.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Let's say this was like the Encyclopedia or you know whatever,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: the National Geographic and this is how you cited, right,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: So you had to fold it and then the printer
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: was like a large contraption. You had to put it
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: on print, you know, like the printers now. But like
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: four times the size, and then you printed that only
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: in black and white. There was no color, and sometimes
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: the Xerox machine was just great, and then the words
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: would blurn. You would have to like with the magnifying glass. Anyways,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: that is how the paper jams. Yeah, so that's how
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: we used to do things. Or when you printed out
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: moment twenty years and then half halfway through you would
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: be like, that was not the page I was supposed
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: to print, and then you got a way for it
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: to come out. Listen, we had internet on CDs.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, what do you mean?
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Do you know what a CD is? Remember the als?
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you this.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: We had internet on CDs with cars.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I was just telling my son this the other day.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: So like with navigation, like if you had a car
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: and you had a navigation in your car, like if
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: you had a newer car that had navigation in it,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the navigation had a DVD. Yeah, so you would have
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: to have the updated navigation or if you might have,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: you'll bring you to a street that let's say it's
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: a new street, it's not there yet, yeah, and then
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: you have to go get the updated version of the naviga.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Remember when the Tom Tom came out with the sandbag.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Our publicist is sitting in the back like, what are
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: you guys doing?
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, do you remember when you created the wheel, Penny?
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I do?
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: I do? I remember when we drive Bear?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Have you ever seen the memes on social media where
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: they walk around asking people their birthdays and as soon
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: as they start likeneteen when were you born? No? What year?
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: What year were you born? Nineteen? So they would have
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: put a dinosaur and they would have put the music
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: with you. Yeah, as soon as if they go nineteen
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to they put a head on a dinosaur. That's so
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: that's you. Oh for sure, Yeah for sure. Oh yeah,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that's not you missed.
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: Go to the.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Library and you're older than I.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: That's fine. We're all like, you know, yeah, she could be.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: I know that was grammatically incorrect.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: It was meant to be funny.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Anyway.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Anyways, back to the ask me something segment of the pod,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: we're bringing that back to season three. What would you
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: like to ask us?
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: What was.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: Your journey like? Did you become a published in radio
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: or it wasn't studying another another.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: For another Actually I almost went for forensic science, believe
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: it or not. To John Jay but I ended up
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: going into healthcare, and I did that, and then entertainment
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: was always like a side b. Because my dad, the
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: beautiful Greek soul, may he rest in peace. He always
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: said entertainment was not a plan A. You have to
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: do something as an a, and your hobby will eventually
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: become what it needs to become, if it's meant to be.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: So I did healthcare, and then you know, entertainment was
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: always there. But at Berkeley College, I actually did three
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: degrees in five years, many tiers, but so with it.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: I studied business administration and management in marketing communications. So
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: I took the public speaking with Patty Cowan, not with Jason,
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: and then I taught public speaking. Yeah, I taught public
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: speaking five sections, I think during my tenure. So did
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: I always have this in mind? No, But it's always
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: we've done. And I think that you know, when your
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: purpose meets passion, you are where you're meant to be
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: and you will influence through that modality. And then I
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: get to sit next to pro every other week, and.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: Life take you to another Because I was a study
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: of criminal justice, that's my saying. So I gain injury
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: in the army and then I flip it to lega study,
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: so it's they're saying a little bit but never never,
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: And it was somebody from the the scholarship, the army
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: that was it. Because you can't get into criminal justice,
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: so why you don't think about lega story. I was like,
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: let me think, let me, you know, take a couple
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: of millions into see and then and the only legal
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: study because I didn't know what the study. For me,
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: it was like here, like I was watching I grew
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: up with my mom watching like Law and Order all
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: those programs, and then.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Not like sort of like.

• 16:06

  Speaker 3: And I like it. Listen, I love a rebrand. You know,
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: it's never slaty to reinvent yourself. We do that every week.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Pro Did you always dream of being on a podcast
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: with me?
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Every day?
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: I know it's beautiful.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: How'd you end up on the dream is like a
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: nightmare and oh.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Wow, we're gonna cut that out with a third one
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: thirty six? How do you end up in communications? On
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: the ratios.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: You asking me questions.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: No, that was her question.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: How I don't know? Okay, that was the question you
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: asked me questions. It was wow, Okay, how did I
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: end up on radio?
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: She asked if we were if we studied to beings,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: how we ended up?
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: No? I I I was always passionate into music growing up,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: got into DJing at a very young age. You know,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: DJ'ed when DJing wasn't a thing to do. So everyone
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: in my who family was very against me being a
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: DJ and playing music and what is dad and da
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: da da dah. But stuck with it, as you know,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: almost a hobby. But then from a hobby it became
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: actually something that started to work. And then when I
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: was in high school, I started just being in the
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: scene and being in music, falling around the right people.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I ended up going to like college colleges out there,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: not into college, but as a young kid going to
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: college radio. So I started seeing them on radio and
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: just being in the car outside and hearing them on
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the radio, and then going in and seeing the people
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: that were talking and hearing it was just freaked me out.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: So I was like, oh my god. So when I
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: finally had a chance. I got on radio. My first
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: time on college radio, I think I was like fourteen
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: something like that. Fourteen or fifteen, I was with Kalid
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: DJ Khalid, and we were all because we were all
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: in Orlando at the time, and I used to go
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: with them. They used to do a college radio show.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: So then after that, I just stayed DJing and that
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: you know, I stayed DJing through my whole through high school,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: and I went on tours DJing for like, I was
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: doing concerts with my Deep and nas and a bunch
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: of people when I was like sixteen seventeen years old.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: So my life journey's a little different as far as
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I was on radio when I was when I was
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: a senior. So I already had a radio show when
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I was eighteen. So when I came out of high school,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I already kind of like just went right into I
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: didn't have a chance. Now I'm not gonna say I
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: didn't have a chance, because I could have gone to
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: college probably right, but I already go was like, this
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: is my career. And since then I've been on radio.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: So I've been on radio on and off and TV
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: and stuff my whole life.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Insert dinosaur.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Got t Rex on the radio. So, you know, just passion,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: you know, finding something you love to do and just
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: doing it. You know when they say if you love
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: what you do, is you know you'll never work a
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: day in your life kind of thing. That's that's kind
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: of like what my job has been. Obviously not as
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: easy as all times, you know, as it seems, and
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of downs, you know, but a lot
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: of rough times you gotta get through, especially in any industry,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: right so you know, as long as you have passion,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: you'll get through them and you don't give up. And
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: here we are today now doing a podcast, which is
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: something I never thought I would do. I was actually
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: against podcasts. When not against them, I just people always
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: ask me to get on. I think it's just why
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: for me the dinosaur in the room right now. But
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: for me, I think it's because I do so much
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: already that the thought of doing a podcast, I was
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: just like, I'm not doing a podcast. It's like, you know,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: people have asked me to do a bunch of things,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: reality TV shows, like all this kind of stuff, and
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I think that I'm in a space where I enjoy
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: what I do and I like having my me time
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: you know where I could spend with my family. It's
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: different now, you know, as you get out, like I
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: have wife and kids. Having a wife and then having
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: kids change my path of work in life and what
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I'm willing to do. Prior to having a wife and children,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I would have done everything. So everything that came to me,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: let's go, let's go, let's do it. Oh do this
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: stream this, da da da. I was taking whatever response.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: You know, I'll take all those responsibilities on me because
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: it was just me. But once once you get a
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: wife and then you start having kids, you start realizing
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: that you do need your time to put to them.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: So now it's more of a balance where I'm trying
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: to balance my career and being a good father and
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: being a good husband at the same time. You know,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: if you lean too much into one, you forget the other.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: If I'm just always with my kids, then how my
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: wife's not getting her time right or vice versa my kids.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: And if I'm too much with my family, then I'm
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: taking away from my career. So I'm at a level
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: right now where I'm just trying to balance everything in
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: my life, you know. So then here comes Penny with
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: this podcast, like yeah, I gotta.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Tuesdays.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I'm just playing. So it's all great. So but like
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: you know, like we said earlier, you just you never
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: know what life is going to bring to you, so
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: you know it's gotta be ready for it.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Life is a balance.
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: I feel like podcast is more realized, relaxed.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Relax It is for pro because I do I've been doing. No,
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of work that goes into it. I
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: mean PRO can speak to you know, being on a
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: live show and how that works in broadcasts, but with
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: the podcast, there's a lot of work that goes into
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: it in terms of strategy, production, target segmentation, all of
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: the market research. You have to look at that. It's
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: just a different type of work.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you over so. One thing I would always
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: say is because even from when I used to do
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: one on six and Park TV show and a bunch
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: of other things. Oh yes, I did sipart Park. Yeah
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: so I was, I was the DJ. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: So shout out to you know, I worked throughout the
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: whole time. After a j and Free, I got to
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: do one show with them, but I did all of
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: the Big Tigger Jalisa's shows, all of the Terrence and
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Roxy shows, so you know, I got to work on TV,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: so you realize it comes. Actually, i'd be more nervous
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: now standing in front of people speaking where back then
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: you you knew at that point that was the show.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: There was three four million people watching, and I'm going
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: live on TV reading prompters with words as they you know,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: go by, and you're talking to somebody didn't go to
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: college and didn't practice any of that kind of stuff
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: that you would think. And the reason I got through
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: it all is just not overthinking anything, not stressing myself out.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I'd literally just be laid back and still to this day,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of like, hey, we need to do this,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: this is and I'm like, all cool, just let me
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: know when it's time to do it. So trying to
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: just stay not let the moment overtake you, because then, yeah,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: if you let the moments overtake you, you will get
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: anxiety and you will get a little crazy, and then
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: you'll you know, but TV is a little different than.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: The gems today.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you just gotta yeah, yeah, that's it. Yeah.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: We've had a lot of the personalities from iHeart, our
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: brothers and sisters from ktu Z one hundred come by them, yeap.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: So Crystal Rosas was here on the pod. Yeah, Josh
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Martinez from Z was here on the pod. We also
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: had Maxwell Wendy Astro from Key to You, and everyone
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: kind of says the same thing. There's some good butterflies, right,
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: that little anxiousness before you go out on stage, take
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: a mic, whatever the case, but it kind of feeds you. Yeah,
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: you know a little bit.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like this got me out my comfort zone. I
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: love it. Yeah, I love it.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: I got a question for the both of you guys.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: Okay, if you had one piece of advice to give
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: to us.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: What would it be?
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: In general?
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: In general? It could be anything.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: It goes back. For me, I'm always gonna just say,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: and it's not to sound cliche and say, don't never
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: give up, right, but that really is it. I Mean,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have good days and you're gonna have bad days,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: and sometimes those bad days could be back to back
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: to back, and it could be a bad week or
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: a bad month. But that doesn't mean you're gonna have
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: a bad life, right, So you have to break through
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: and just keep going and then that could turn into
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: a good day. Good week, good month, good year, and
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: good life. Right, So at the end of the day,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: just keep doing what you love and what you're passionate
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: and what you want to do, and just stay true
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: to yourself and give it You're all. Like same thing
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: I tell my kids, like, if if the outcome, if
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: you don't give it your all, and the outcome doesn't
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: come out how you want it, then all you're gonna
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: think about is things you could have done better. Right,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: if you just do what you're supposed to do and
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: give your all, you'll be happy with the outcome, no
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: matter what it is. That would be my advice.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Okay, Papa pro.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Now here comes Penny with her her college answer.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Why do you always have to be college answer?
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Let's see your answer? Now, come on, pick some real
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: good words here I have it.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Now you know. I'm going to give you two nuggets
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: I see. The first one is be open minded. Always
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: be open to opportunity, Always be open to being in
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: the room. And what are you going to do once
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: you get in that room? Right, you're in the room
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: today and you're asking the questions that you want to
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: know answers to. You're taking control of that. So be
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: open minded to the possibilities of what life has to offer.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: And the second thing is, while you're being open minded
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: and while you're going through those trials and tribulations that
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: pro was talking about, give yourself a little bit of grace.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: And that's what I have to work on. Grace.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Give yourself a little bit of grace, Give yourself a
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: mindful hug, because through good, bad, happy, sad, those are
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: all moments and they all shall pass.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: Amen.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I mean both of you, guys for what thank thank
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: you for what you both have already accomplished and what
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: you've gone through at such young ages. You guys should
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: be very proud of this.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: As I'll be the first to have a bachelor's degree
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: on my mother and my father's side, and I'll be
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: the first grandchild to have a degree.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, there you go.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Listen. Y'all are our living walking proof that if you
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: set your mind to something, you can accomplish it. And
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: I'm so glad that y'all came and blessed us today
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: on the pod and gave us this this bonus episode two,
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: right this part two. Jason, how do you feel with
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: your students?
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: I feel awesome again. This is the first time I've
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: ever actually met them in real life. I've seen them
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: both in videos, but.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: The pods bringing.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Is there any questions you want to ask them?
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: We have to interesting, Jason, are you taking over the podcast?
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: If they were with them right now in the online
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: classroom and you wanted to ask them something, just ask
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: them that, but now in person.
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah. So advice to give your professors it can be
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: me just like advice, so you have the students side.
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: So something that you would like to see.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Or something you would like us to do Instagram advice.
• 26:39
  Speaker 8: You would like to give your professors about what would
• 26:43
  Speaker 8: make your education more enriching, more interesting, more human, anything
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: you want to request that we do.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: I would say, as far as like what we're learning,
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: I would say open it more instead of just like
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: making it a lecture. I wish that a lot of professions.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: Would make it more engaging, because if we're just sitting
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: in a classroom watching you talk, it's boring. We're not
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: I feel like me personally, I don't learn like that.
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: I like to be hands on. I like to be
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: more interactive, like always right, like action, more questions or
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: like say, hey, based off what we learned so far,
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: what are your thoughts of like does this relate to you?
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: And if so, if you're comfortable, how does that relate
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: to you?
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: So you want more interactions kind of like Jason's class,
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: taking agency on pros, adjusting the phone, taking agency on
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: the curriculum, and having more input. Right, Jason, you were
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: speaking earlier about eight highlium. You were speaking earlier about
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: agency in the classroom and students having the ability to
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: structure their assignments.
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: That one of the reasons that I love it is
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: that if you're if we're coding, designing things together is
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: always different, right. I get a sense of how you
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: are as people, what what your values are, what your
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: interests are, which just makes it more interesting for me too,
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: and make some more of a conversation less like, oh,
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: I'm teaching this class for the hundredth time. I try
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: to do that as little as I can. I try
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: to give you more controller of course, as much as
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: I can.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: And how about you.
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: The two kinds of professs. The one he's like him
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: like more human talk, like we talk with the videos
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: with more interaction, and they have the other ones it's
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: like just power point read and we don't talk. Yes,
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: but I feel like they have different times of style,
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: but everybody has a kind of way to connect. We
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: want with the one you like, if you like him.
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: Sometimes I don't like him. I'm sorry sometimes the way
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: because he makes no it's nothing. But it's just like
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: I told him that, like I'm probably speaking for me.
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: It's notice, I don't know how I'm doing this right now.
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: And he makesself to the videos and talks.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: You don't like the professor. Sometimes you're uncomfortable with the assignment.
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: Yes, but you push through.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: You pushed through and you got it. And now you're
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: on a podcast. You see how public speaking has gotten
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: you to.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now you're here yet exactly what I say, you
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: have to get out here. That's another thing. Going back
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: to one thing I would say, back to my whole
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: journey we talked earlier, is I'm always somebody who thinks,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: who has always my whole career thought outside the box. Right.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: So if I thought, hey, I'm so passionate, you know
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I love hip hop, I love rap music. That's that
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: was me as a kid coming up. If I ever
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: DJ a club, that's all I want to do. Then
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: I got to DJing clubs. Then I was like, oh,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: I want to do ray. Then I got to doing radio.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Then then I started branching off and realizing there's so
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: much more to do playing. There's so much other music
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: to play, right, so I play this, I play now.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: I'm an open forma, so I might. I'm just never
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: been scared. So I've been on my whole career. I've
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: been an urban radio right, hip hop, R and B reggae.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Now I'm on a top forty radio station. I've also
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: done Latin radio stations, so like, I've been on a
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: pluster of different kind of radio stations, you know, and
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: then done TV and done this, and then I've always
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: been open to doing whatever which has got me. Oh yeah,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I'm also you know, I program which is another lane
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: that if you're a DJ, you know sometimes you're not,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: so I will, like even getting my own radio show.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Being a DJ is one thing, right being back there
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: just playing. Being the on air personality is another. There's
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of shows who have an on air personality
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: and then a DJ who DJ's on it for that
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: person where I've figured out a way to become both
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: right step outside your comfort zone and like she's saying,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: then I got into programming well, you know, how about
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: the person who hired me, right and the person who's
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: putting the music into the system and learning how to
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: do that. I learned how to do that, and who
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: knows what? You know, I'll take upon myself to learn next.
• 30:48
