Have you ever noticed how difficult it's become to make new friends as you get older? It was just so much easier when we were kids. "TAG. You're it. And now we're friends." If it were only that easy. Do it now, and you might catch a case. Do this instead.... Join us on this podcast episode as we dive into the world of adult friendships and hosting parties with guest Nick Gray.

On this episode of The Teevee Show Podcast, I am joined by my eldest daughter as we discuss her journey to success in the marketing industry without attending college. As we chat, we delve into our shared belief of raising children to be strong, independent thinkers that are not afraid to speak their minds. We talk about how respectful communication can build strong relationships, and the value of experiences over material objects. We also share our opinion on the benefits of debating and arguing using facts and sources to gain different perspectives; because it often leads us to acknowledge when we may be wrong or at least gain a better understanding of someone else's point of view. We also touch on navigating relationships in the workplace and the challenges that come with transitioning to adulthood.

I'm excited to introduce my guest in the newest episode of The Teevee Show Podcast, the OG of Facebook Advertising himself, Jon Loomer! You’ve probably seen his face on Facebook if you’re in the ad space. He’s very good at his job. Jon and I had a blast discussing his journey in the advertising space. We talked about how he simplified his business, the importance of trust in marketing, and even how he uses his marketing skills to support his passion for baseball (which he's never really shared p...

Both of our immigrant fathers had strokes. My father is disabled and a shell of the man he once was. Charles father died shortly after his stroke. The motivation behind this conversation wasn't one of "happy, happy, joy, joy," but instead, it tackles an issue that plagues many men in immigrant families. This episode is a heavy one. I always find it fascinating to hear how many fathers will say they would die for their children, but many of those same dads struggle to live for them. It's a deep t...

Chris and I first met on in dance class- dancing with each other. Then I asked him to be my friend. He agreed and the rest is history. Although the story behind that conversation is hilarious. He’s the person I talk to about virtually every aspect of my life and know that he will listen and then offer up his thoughts in the most non-bs way possible. Check out the latest episode where I talk to him about topics about life, love, and personal development.

Art has been a passion for me since I was a wee lad. I was certain that I would be an artist as a career. I was so committed that I chose not to go to college with the anticipation of becoming this fully paid artist. Foolish, I know. But worse yet, this was before the internet was a thing. Becoming a paid artist today is much easier. Not easy, but easier. Life happened and I set aside my childish artistic desires- for the most part. But then a couple of years ago while rediscovering Twitter and ...

Sue Anderson first came into my world in 2009. She was asked to interview me so I could share my story on the success of our first online business. I was so nervous leading up to that conversation. Hearing anyone call me a success was strange. My bank account would say otherwise. We immediately bonded and became good friends. 14 years later it was my turn to interview her for my world-famous podcast. We talk about all things parenting, entrepreneurship, and even how to be a better partner in a r...

Sometimes you meet new people by going to school with them or being raised in the same hood. That’s cool. But you know what’s cooler? Having a good friend introduce you someone they are certain you will hit it off with. Someone that they feel vibes, walks, and talks like you. Meet Manny Digital. He’s that dude. As soon as we had out first conversation I knew we would be friends for a long time. He’s a Latino, a father, an entrepreneur and a hiphop head He invited me to be a guest on his “Father ...

It was 2007ish. I was at a desperate point in my life. I was freshly divorced and knew it was time to make some big bets on myself and my future. My daughters were itty bitty and depended on me getting things figured out. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Mr. Brad Costanzo, That year I met a man in NLP class who would change the direction of my life. He was just himself: outlandish, eager, and brilliant. We started a random business idea to help teach ourselves how to “make money online and in our sle...

I knew that I didn't want my daughters to struggle in communicating. I wanted them to be confident in sharing their thoughts. I wanted them to know they have a voice that matters. So I brought them to their first spoken word poetry workshop. Which we missed, in essence, yet we also didn’t. But that’s a great story I’ll leave this video to tell.

If there is one thing I wish I could give my daughters, it would be the mind map of life’s potholes. I want them to be able to navigate the world a lot better than I did and succeed. We’re parents. We have an advantage. We’ve been through it all, and we’re almost on our way back. We know how the world works. So let’s help our kids do the same. Even if that means having weird or uncomfortable conversations with them. Do it. Don’t let them walk blindly when you have the life map. In today’s video,...

I raised my daughters to develop programs. And by "programs," I mean skills and values that I knew would help them become their best selves in the future. The concept of stoicism is one of them. I like to call it the concept of keeping one’s cool because, essentially, that's what it is. Watch today’s video where I share how I became a stoic and how I ended up turning my kids into one as well. - - - - - - - - - - - - The Obstacle is the Way - Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Ryan-Holiday-Obsta...

Have you ever clicked on a “Secrets revealed” video? These stories make us think that no kindness is left in the world anymore. Stories that are branded shocking and jaw-dropping. These are the tales that hold us back from the truth. From the good and the kind. In today’s video, I share the story of how I've tried to point out the good in the world... all around us. • Visit www.teevee.fm or find me on your favorite podcast platform of choice.

I raised my daughters to think on their own. To understand that they are free to express their thoughts. And I’m really proud of that. With respect in mind, doing so does not make them smart-asses. We, as grown adults, should see this, too. Won't you agree? In this video, I talk about why having healthy discussions with our kids is important. - Follow us on all channel Website: https://teevee.mx Podcast: https://teevee.fm Also Visit: smartasskids.com

Every summer since the divorce, I get my daughters for an entire month for summer vacation. I try to give them as many experiences and lessons as possible during that time. This summer vacation is the last legally mandated summer together. So I made sure it was the most memorable ever, even though now I only had one of the two sisters remaining. The other one has flown away. After years of sharing from my perspective- it was time to hear them speak. Listen to today's episode and hear my baby gir...
