Today marks 8 months of being sober 🥳
For those curious about sobriety, I have a lot to thank for it.
I've lost 20 pounds, started caring about my health more, and have a better relationship with my parents. But most importantly, I've chased a creative venture. And now, I'm facing my fear of creating content.
It may not be great at first, but I can't wait to look back at my first solo piece of content in another 8 months. Cheers to growth and progress 🥂
First episode, couldnt have gone any better (or longer 😉). Except for the fact that the video file got corrupted, and the audio file is missing for the first few mins of the show ((;
I've decided to embrace the chaos and release this episode, fully unedited. To be accepted and looked back at, for all the blemishes and imperfections.
Guests: Two of Dallas's favorite Dj Legends
Dj Phonixx: International Celebrity Dj
Dj JayBray: King Of The Streets 2023 Dj Battle Winner
Host: Justin J Rahman (also a Dj)
Thanks to the overall sexual tension from Jaybray, the podcast got out of hand pretty fast. That's the best way I can describe what was suppose to be a DJ episode, turned into a completely flagrant, real, comedic and vulnerable podcast between 3 Dallas Djs.
If you enjoyed the flow of this show/experience, plz share 😉
