Welcome to B-Real, where we learn from our highs and grow from our lows

WARNING: Big Witch Energy  On this episode of B-Real, I have the extreme pleasure of sitting down with 2/3 co-founders of The Neon Coven, Mark Mauriello and Shira Milikowsky.   From starting a performance collective to the highs and lows of said performance collective's first baby (@OscarAtTheCrown, anyone?), this episode is for any artist searching to find or start a freaky-fun community of super talented weirdos.  Thank you for listening!

Season 2 Premiere!
This season on B-Real, we are breaking down the art of Manifestation! Are you a hustling artist or entrepreneur looking to build your empire and create the business you've always dreamed of? The secrets to unlocking your greatest potential are inside of you - they have been all along. At least, that's what all of the self-help books and Dove chocolate wrappers have been saying. But what does the process of unlocking one's own potential actually look like? Through this season, we will be answering this question and many more, with the hope that each and every unique listener may set intentions for their own manifestations, creating a community of elevated minds looking to get shit done.  Follow us on Instagram @brealpodcast See you on the grind! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/brealpodcast/message
