Kinjaz: Movement In The Shadows

Today we bring you an earlier release of this week’s episode with guest @_anthonylee_. As you all know, the world is being greatly impacted by COVID-19. We wanted to give you all some insight on how it’s affecting the global urban dance community, as well as what we as Kinjaz are doing to keep up best health and safety practices during this global pandemic. This is not our normal show format, but we felt that it is important for us to give you all a very real look into how this is affecting our ecosystem as well the world around us. Wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds. Use hand sanitizer. Practice appropriate social distancing. Be wise and creative of how to stay in community. Above all...Stay up. Stay encouraged. Love each other well by protecting others from the potential spread of this disease. We will rise. This too shall pass. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. Guest: Anthony Lee - www.instagram.com/_anthonylee_ Audible Free Trial:  https://www.kinjazpodkast.com/audibleKin Aesthetik:  http://store.kinjaz.com/https://www.kinjaz.com/podkasthttps://www.kinjazpodkast.comhttps://www.instagram.com/kinjazpodkasthttps://www.twitter.com/kinjazpodkasthttps://www.facebook.com/kinjazpodkastCo-Host/Producer: Ben Chung - https://www.instagram.com/btek_benchungAudio/Producer: Jeremy Lai - https://www.instagram.com/jdl2012Producer: Justin Kim - https://www.instagram.com/itsjuskim Learn more about your ad choices.

Ryan Higahttps://www.instagram.com/notryanhiga/?hl=enYouTube: www.youtube.com/nigahiga Ninja Melk: www.ninjamelk.comThis week we have YouTube OG Ryan Higa (@notryanhiga) in the pod! Ryan was one of the early game creators for YouTube when internet content platforms were still the Wild West. He’s been creating and delivering high level entertainment through his various platforms for well over a decade now. Just like a car running on fumes, that will eventually run out of gas and be forced to come to a halt, the same is the case when we push ourselves without taking intentional time to rest. In this conversation, Ryan talks about how his default mode is to grind, but at this specific time in his life he has found the imperative need to take a break and remove himself from his default work mode to catch up on some much needed time for himself.In order to perform at optimum levels, periodic resets must be a part of the formula. Listen in on how this genius creator makes time to breathe. 🧎🏻🏃🏻🧎🏻🏃🏻 .🌏 KINJAZ.COM/PODKAST🎧 KINJAZPODKAST.COM/ITUNESOR stream it wherever you get your podcast fix 🎙(Pssst...Podcasts are FREE! 🤯) .SUBSCRIBE + SHARE + LEAVE US A REVIEW + LEAVE A RATING ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.#KinjazPodKast #RyanHiga #NigaHiga #YouTube #comedian #actor #entrepreneur #NinjaMelk #MovementInTheShadows #KINJAZ #podcastAudible Free Trial:  https://www.kinjazpodkast.com/audibleKin Aesthetik:  http://store.kinjaz.com/https://www.kinjaz.com/podkasthttps://www.kinjazpodkast.comhttps://www.instagram.com/kinjazpodkasthttps://www.twitter.com/kinjazpodkasthttps://www.facebook.com/kinjazpodkastHost/Producer: Ben Chung - https://www.instagram.com/btek_benchungAudio/Producer: Jeremy Lai - https://www.instagram.com/jdl2012Producer: Justin Kim - https://www.instagram.com/itsjuskim Learn more about your ad choices.

Jet has always been one to carve his own path. From finding dance as a child and just diving into the rabbit holes of hip hop dance foundational styles, Jet began to obsess over the things he was naturally interested in. He took his obsession for dance and has been able to make a successful career out of it. Through this conversation, the thing that became very clear is that Jet’s approach toward doing anything always comes from a place that is authentically him. He talks very candidly about actually really hating things that he can clearly see are not from a genuine place. He talks about how it’s possible to create content that resonates with the masses, while maintaining an authentic sense of “SELF.” In a world filled with social media clutter, it’s easy to get lost in the noise. Listen in and find out how Jet has figured out how to navigate through it in a FUN + AUTHENTIC way 💯.🌏 KINJAZ.COM/PODKAST🎧 KINJAZPODKAST.COM/ITUNESOR stream it wherever you get your podcast fix 🎙(Pssst...Podcasts are FREE! 🤯) .SUBSCRIBE + SHARE + LEAVE US A REVIEW + LEAVE A RATING ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.#KinjazPodKast #JustinValles #Jet #JustJet #JetLi #dancer #choreographer #freestyler #spreadpositivity #MovementInTheShadows #KINJAZ #podcastHost/Producer: Ben Chung - https://www.instagram.com/btek_benchungAudio/Producer: Jeremy Lai - https://www.instagram.com/jdl2012Producer: Mike Fallorina - https://www.instagram.com/mikefalProducer: Justin Kim - https://www.instagram.com/itsjuskim Learn more about your ad choices.
