The All Ears Podcast

Sam and I discuss the awesomeness of growing up in the 80s, being raised by a hard-working mother who always had numerous jobs, and his experience with being physically abused as a child. In addition, we also talk about the first time we met, the day I asked him if I could date his daughter, his experience with divorce (and getting remarried), his role as a step-parent, the value of having "thick skin", and the benefit of having a higher power in life to guide you through difficult times.

This is a special one.

Happy Father's Day, Bro- Dad.

Viv discusses her life growing up and having a mother who was (and still is) her biggest inspiration in life. We discuss her mindset and experience with having to deal with the death of mother during her freshman year of high school due to a serious heart condition, Viv also talks about motherhood and her experience with becoming a mom herself at 18 years old. In addition, we talk about relationships, the value of healing from our emotional pain, working with clients as therapists, and the huge role that Viv played when it came to inspiring me to start the All Ears Podcast.

Ryan shares his story about being a "hard-headed" kid growing up in Pomona, being raised by his mother who was never afraid to show him tough love at times, and even explaining the value of his faith and how it allows him to strive for his goals and be a better man each day. In addition, we also discuss our years working together in operations, him witnessing the time when I almost flooded the school bathroom (long story), and we even break down Ryan's definition of what it means to be "authentic" in regards to interacting with people who are of a different race, gender, or even sexuality.

I hope you enjoy :)

Robert is my older cousin (aka big brother in many ways) who has always had my back since day one. We discuss his life growing up being "the baby" of the group and even touch on his unique relationship that he has with both of his older brothers. In addition, we also discuss our relationship and how he played a huge role in helping me appreciate the value of becoming mentally and physically tough at a young age. We also discuss marriage, the joys and (sometimes) struggles of raising 4 kids, and what it means to be grateful about everything that we have in life while also trying our best to maintain a positive attitude every single day.

I love this guy. I hope you enjoy :)

Jason was my professor throughout my two years in Hope International University's Marriage and Family Therapy program. We talk about his early college years and how he initially wanted to work in medicine with professional athletes. We also discuss his marriage and what it's like to be married to someone who is also a therapist. In addition, we discuss our experience when it came to talking about sex with an entire class, Jason's first time seeing a client (and how it didn't go so well), fatherhood, and the value of therapist taking the time to do their own therapy.

Jason is the man. I hope you enjoy :)
