After a year, the show is BACK! This time, in-person to do away with all the hassles of Zoom calls! My guest is world-renowned dance artist, choreographer, host and one of my all-time favorite dancers, Jesse Gotangco.

IT’S BEEN A WHILE! Joining me for a wonderful conversation is former corporate-slave turned life coach and now entrepreneur of Jungle Base Grounds, Aina Aquino! This was done right in the heart of our conversation’s topic, in Pampanga. We also discussed taking care of one’s mental health during the pandemic, turning passion to profit, among others. 0:00 2:22 - Pampanga 9:00 - Leaving the ~corporate world~ 22:00 - Running a business for the first time 27:38 - Coaching 35:48 - Turning passion to profit 42:05 - FausTalk #AntonOnOnePodcast #Career #Entrepreneurship #Psychology #MentalHealth

Picked the brains of one of the minds behind streetwear clothing brand Tenement, Van Valdez for this next episode! We talked about their collaboration with Titan, entrepreneurship in your 20s, the challenges and lessons along the way, streetwear, etc. I’ve always loved their clothing since I was in college, great to see them doing big things! 0:00 - Intro 2:19 - Titan & Tenement Collaboration 15:00 - Running a business in your 20s 21:50 - Tenement origin 27:52 - Running a business while holding a day job 31:58 - Predestined vs. Free Will 40:22 -Streetwear Culture 54:24 - FausTalk 1:18:00 - Message to young entrepreneurs #AntonOnOnePodcast #Streetwear #Entrepreneurship

First episode of the year is with Dani Marcos, proud mother of Lucas. We talked about her experience getting pregnant at 20, raising a kid with all the challenges and blessings in between. I was a bit nervous opening this discussion up given that this is sort of a taboo topic in our society…but thank God I did it anyway coz I learned a lot from this conversation!! 0:00 9:37 - Dealing with pregnancy at 20 34:51 - Having kids as an option 56:19 - FausTalk #AntonOnOnePodcast #Motherhood

Happy almost New Year! This episode is a little more personal, I share how the end of the year has been like for me, specifically with my recent career updates, the LIFE I finally experienced these last months and some of the many realizations I had as I turned another year older. This is the last episode of the year and my last for a while. Thank you for the support all throughout this year, can’t wait to have and share more brain-tickling conversations with all you quarter-life crisis facers! 0:00 1:45 - A career Update 20:52 - 2021 4Q Recap 29:22 - My major life changes 31:24 - Learning on friendship #AntonOnOnePodcast #Career #QuarterLifeCrisis #Relationships #Freelance

Here’s another interesting story about someone who moved from Manila to La Union! I had the pleasure of meeting and conversing with Carms during my brief trip to LU. We talked about the challenges of being a freelancer, figuring life out in this stage of our lives and more. What struck me was that she chose to leave college, a path foreign to many Filipinos that grew up in the traditional household where a college degree was a non-negotiable. She is the creative director of Munimuni, a model, an occasional tattoo artist…and prefers the sunrise over the sunset?! I got on a zoom call with her and despite the brownout in LU at that time, we luckily got to record this enlightening conversation. 0:00 3:02 - Leaving College 11:11 - Financial Aspect 16:50 - Essential Skills Needed 18:56 - Giving yourself the time and space to not be okay 21:47 - Moving to La Union 28:00 - Dealing with anxiety and mental struggles 40:57 - Tattoos 48:10 - FausTalk #AntonOnOnePodcast #LU #Career #MentalHealth #College

Entrepreneur and Bassist of She’s Only Sixteen, Anjo Silvoza joins the show…IN PERSON! I was able to meet up with Sabong’s very own Renaissance Man during my trip to La Union to talk about his story. How is it like uprooting yourself, leaving Manila and moving to La Union…all while figuring out how to run a food stall? We got into detail with all the random opportunities and coincidences that ultimately led him to where he is today. Here’s the story that’s as juicy and captivating as his chicken. 0:00 3:05 - Pretending to be a High School teacher 6:20 - Taking a cooking job with 0 experience 12:29 - How did Sabong come to be? 30:19 - The Essential Basic Skills 34:12 - She’s Only Sixteen 43:19 - Moving to LU 59:34 - Faustalk #AntonOnOnePodcast #Career #LU #SabongFriedChicken

Jillian Robredo, the youngest daughter of VP Leni and the late Sec. Jesse Robredo, joins the show. What is it like having so many expectations being a Robredo? How has living and studying abroad been? What is her relationship with her mother like? We talk about all these and much more as I had the honor of learning about what it’s like being the Vice President’s daughter, behind the scenes. No matter what your political background is, I hope you sit back, relax and enjoy the conversation. 0:00 2:55 - Being the kid of public figures 7:37 - Life as the bunso 13:21 - Living abroad away from family 26:59 - On their mother running for public office 42:16 - Dealing with trolls 46:24 - VP Leni’s Parenting Style 52:30 - Faustalk 1:04:42 - Lessons from her family #AntonOnOnePodcast #VPLeni #FamilyLife #Parenting

My goodness I have never been Popoy & BASHED this much in my life! Hahaha today I share my experiences making and dealing with my recent episode which guested a Martial Law Detainee. Along the way, I picked up some lessons that I would love to share to my fellow content creators online. If you haven’t listened to my recent episode (for some more context) I suggest you do so first!

What happened during the Martial Law era now seems to be a debate rather than a depiction of actual facts. I learned most of my Martial Law knowledge from my parents’ stories. It wasn’t really discussed in school and our nation seems to have forgotten its greatest tragedy in the past 50 years. This episode enters unchartered territories as I’ve often shied away from talks about politics but even if I’m scared, I believe this conversation needs to be heard by this generation. For this episode, my guest, whose name and face will remain hidden for security reasons (I know, I’m also shocked that we even have to do this) was detained back in 1972 and he joins me for a conversation between generations to talk about his experiences. Listen intently, LEARN, and let’s not repeat the same mistakes. I would like to thank the Ateneo Martial Law Museum for making this episode possible. 0:00 2:19 - Getting Detained 10:45 - Getting Tortured 24:09 - Fort Bonifacio 26:27 - Camp Crame 29:08 - Luckiest break 35:47- “After you were released, the military owns you.” 1:04 - Meeting Bongbong Marcos 1:15:17 - What now? 1:21:00 - Parents’ tragedy #AntonOnOnePodcast #MartialLaw #PhilippineHistory #Stories
