I appreciate ALL of my guests this #takeoff season. I discuss booking fantastic guests, the importance of consistent action, understanding character, featuring April Simpkins (Cheslie Kryst's mother) to talk about mental health (supporting NAMI), the attempt to secure Jaafar Jackson, resolving Riverside FM issues (transitioning to SquadCast), the March 12th launch, my remote work setup, my website, and lessons on patience, prioritizing quality, celebrating progress, and self-acceptance.Each episode showed me that you can’t really launch into your next phase of life if something heavy is weighing you down. Whether that be negative people, a stressful job, not enough time for yourself, or even your own fears and anxiety (made up or otherwise), somethings gotta go!You really learn about yourself when things are turbulent, so I want to encourage you that it’s okay. I be struggling too! I have so many hopes for my platform and would love you to join the community!

In the Season 2 finale of the Host to Host series, I share personal updates, seeking sponsors and new opportunities, and reflect on how creators balance life while building brands. I welcome Tennessee-based creator Reynard Martin (Mr. Rey Goodfella), host of Based on Characters and No Huddle Football News, to discuss how he named his shows, his love of film and interviews, favorite characters like Smokey from Friday, and a playful debate about recasting T’Challa. Reynard explains his laid-back interview style, focusing on guests’ interests and lighthearted questions beyond their usual topics, highlights favorite guest Nina Starks, and names dream interviews Jeffrey Simmons and Jill Scott. He also talks about returning to writing short stories and novellas and advises creators to turn on the camera, pitch their work, and stay visible to grow.Follow Reynard:‪@basedoncharacterspodcast‬ ‪@nohuddlefootballnewsceo‬ Follow FYFZ:https://linktr.ee/fyfzpod_?utm_source...Voice Message link in IG bio!

I sat down with Mike Gaines from Arizona, host of The Positive Gaines Podcast, to talk about how he started the show during COVID, chose the name, and what episodes have stood out—especially his interview with wrestler Anthony Robles. We get into his dream guests (including Denzel Washington, Michael B. Jordan, and Jim Carrey), how he decides who’s a good fit to interview, and why patience and better promotion are lessons he wishes he’d learned earlier. Mike also shares how his show art was commissioned, his thoughts on his current theme music, and how his production setup evolved from an iPhone to a more complete Riverside-based studio. He also discusses listening habits, learning Spanish, an upcoming major “Power” series guest, and a children’s book he’s finishing with his daughter illustrating.Follow Mike: @thepositivegaines942  @thenewpositivegaines on IGHere's how you can send me a voice message:https://www.instagram.com/fyfzpod_/ - link in my bio!

At 18 years old, Ace Xiong (pronounced Shi-ung) shared one honest video about creating content in a toxic household with his dad as an Hmong American son -- and millions of strangers on the internet instantly understood him. In this episode, we sit down to talk about what it actually feels like when the internet sees your pain, the complicated love and fear dynamics inside immigrant and Asian-American families, and the quiet ways kids learn to survive at home. Ace opens up about how he's doing now, setting boundaries with his dad, future plans and forgiveness on his own terms. All while staying positive! This is a conversation for anyone who has ever felt unsafe in their own home but still pressured to "respect your parents."If this episode resonates with you, please share it with someone who needs to feel less alone.Connect with FYFZ:https://linktr.ee/fyfzpod_?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=f09d6c5a-98a8-4609-b0ec-297992c3307dConnect with  @AceXiong18 : 🔗 https://linktr.ee/Ace.xiong18?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=18acb528-1d0a-4a35-ac1c-473c5efe2038Credits:Produced & Hosted by  @astoldbyvictoria  Theme Music:  @cybelefasquelle  "What They Say"Edited in  @Descript ​
