Today’s episode features Venezuelan artist, performer, and rising pop icon Santi—who moved to the U.S. with no formal training, just a vision and a deep love for performance.

He opens up about growing up gay in Venezuela, learning English through Nicki Minaj lyrics, and creating his debut album Miss Venezuela from pure imagination.

We talk kissing culture, self-expression, dancing in heels, and why it’s never too late to chase your dreams.

Also: Oscar movies, Ms. Bashful, and the power of making out.
