How to be successful without college
Episode 10:
Since we were young, the words told to us was that we needed to go to college in order to find a great high paying job or career. Maybe back in the early 2000's it was slightly easier than now meaning school wasn't as expensive and now a bachelors degree isn't enough to be qualified. Cesar, the owner of Raawbody Works sports rehab , came on to speak about his journey on how he ended up not going to a regular 4 year university and was able to start his own business and able to open up new doors for himself. We all wonder what is life after high school and how we are going to "make it' and that uncertainty is probably one of the scariest but if we stay hungry, it is all possible to make it out in the real world. Cesar is one that doesn't have all the answers in the world but he found the answers he needed in order to make it.

Our Story About Being First Time Parents & Moving Out
Episode 4:
The person behind the camera running the show gets on camera and out of her comfort zone to tell her story. That person is my girlfriend/ mother to our son Brittney. Being together over the last four years has had its ups and downs like any couple but what I think made a big impact was her and I being our mid twenties, baby on the way and having to figure out our narrative. We both came from two different worlds, same family orientation but lives still different. We argued, we cried, we laughed and smiled and someway somehow made it work. The saying goes that you don't know the other person until you live with them and that is what happened to us at the same time as becoming first time parents. Listen to our story, we are humans just like everyone else but someday somehow we made the changes in both of our lives.
