In today’s rollercoaster of an episode, my good friend Trevor Carmona joins me on the podcast to discuss losing friends, gaining followers, and being a true ally! Not only is he an extremely strong powerlifter, but he’s also a talented TikTok dancer, fellow podcaster, and YouTuber! We have a lot of fun talking about social blades, high school twitter beef, and getting banned from twitter (oops) only to switch gears and get serious about his experience with digital friendships, the realities of meeting people with large social media followings, separating business from personal feelings, and most importantly, social justice and the Black Lives Matter movement.

In today's episode, I sit down with my brother Jake (the cooler sibling in my opinion) who seems to have life all figured out even though he's only 20 years old! In the 3 years I've been away at college he somehow learned the secret to saving money (!!) and the key to gaining followers on Instagram (!!!) which he kindly shared with the class. We also talk a little bit about his go-to music artists, working on cars, photography, how to network and build relationships, and the importance of good friendships :) Thanks for listening!  Follow Jake on Instagram  Watch on Youtube!

Hello boys and girls, welcome to therapy :) In today's episode, I give you my secret to super-fast cold brew coffee, tell a story where a woman literally tried to RECRUIT ME for her business by approaching me in the gym, and casually mention that I may have run across a potential serial killer at Walmart. BUT most importantly, I share my take on the topics of self-doubt, insecurity, and breaking out of your shell, especially as it relates to sharing your work with others online. Enjoy this mixed bag of emotions!! Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/K3y41ip-IEE Tweet Me: @thereal_niko Instagram: @nicolebolar.blog

Ahh a good old relationship Q/A. Tried and true...who's in the mood for some advice? Dating in college, AND in quarantine is HARD so in this episode, I give my two cents on dealing with a player, becoming more than "just friends," meeting new people, and taking things too personally -- Along with other fun little topics sprinkled in between. If you've ever had dating troubles, this one is for you! Youtube video coming soon! Make sure to check @therealniko to hang out with me on video :) Instagram: @nicolebolar.blog
