Back with the next chapter of My Story. We pick up where we left off - the move to Hayward, CA and starting the 3rd grade. I realize I totally messed up during the pager code explanation and left out the word "ARE" lol. That message in pager code should look like this: 41 40111 8123 4011. Part 3 coming soon. Thanks for listening, Fresh Fam. I love you! Video version of this pod: https://youtu.be/RmyyBMORoS0 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alvinlax

Story time! This was long over due, Fresh Fam. I plan to keep these episodes short with an emphasis on who I am, where I've been, & some of the crazy things I've experienced in my 34 years of life. Stay tuned for Part 2. I love you, Fresh Fam! The video version of this pod: https://youtu.be/xR2i59iKi_c Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alvinlax

After a little over a month, we are back fresh fam. For this episode, we’re trying something different. If you’re watching this, then you’ve caught on already. On this episode with my good friend, Armand Baclay, we decided to get a little creative while we chatted on zoom. Implementing high-def video was different. It required a little more planning and preparation. But I’m thrilled with how it turned out. Today we’re starting a new series that I’d like to call “The Ugly Truth”. Armand is one of my creative mentors. He’s always honest and transparent with me when it comes to video creation. So I invited him back to kick off the first volume of this new series. As the title explains, we discuss in great detail why getting started isn’t enough when it comes to a new hobby or craft. If you’re new to a hobby, somewhat experienced, or even a seasoned pro in the game - I guarantee that you’ll like what you’re about to see and hear.  If you enjoy this episode and if you end up taking any value from it, could you please do me a huge favor?
