Today’s guest on the show is Diego. The other day I was walking to Washington Square Park looking to meet some content creators but they weren’t there. There was schedule mix up because Instagram’s algorithm gave me an old post and I thought the meet up was that day, I was wrong.   On my walk back home I ended on Houston Street. As I was walking, I walked past Diego is sitting on the corner. He had a sign that read he was homeless as well as a change cup by his feet. As I turned the corner a little voice popped into my head and told me to invite Diego on the podcast. After a bit of persuasion, he was down for the recording and even offered me a piece of cardboard to sit on.  I sat down.  In this episode Diego and I talk about evil books, opioids, crack, heroin, coffee, and the misconceptions of being homeless.  About halfway through the conversation he started smoking Spice or K2 or Synthetic Weed.   (You can listen and subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Subscribe on Android, iHeart Radio, Mixcloud, TuneIn, Stitcher, PodBean, PlayerFM, Google Play or listen via the media player above.)

Last week I spent about a week in Memphis, Tennessee capturing Sun Studios, Graceland, Stax and of course the legendary Beale Street. On the last day of the assignment, we wrapped shooting at around 1am and I had the opportunity kick with it Lawrence "Boo" Mitchell in a parking outside of a spot called Beauty Shop. It’s crazy because about an hour before meeting Boo, I was talking to my friend Jay about the podcast and he immediately started talking about how I should get Boo on show. He said he’d set it up and in my mind, I thought this would take month to make happen. Meaning I’d catch Boo when I was back in the city because I had to fly out in on the morning. Shortly after that conversation, guess who walks through the door? Yup you guessed it, Boo. I told the story to Boo and he said, “We call that Memphis serendipity”. In this episode we talk about the early days of Royal Studios, wearing the hat of a producer, the false feel, putting love in the cooking, Uptown Funk, and much more. I’m outta here, enjoy the talk.
