0.94
00:07:52.960
okay yeah i can tell you're tourists meandering around there no i don't like that do we look like
00:07:57.280
tourists what's your biggest fear my biggest fear is not being honest with
00:08:05.320
myself about what I truly want in life and pursuing that instead of what feels
00:08:08.980
like the accepted norm so following trends not even trends I think this is
00:08:14.740
more like career for me I'm a musician I'm also an attorney but obviously music
00:08:20.220
is generally something that's more passion driven and I feel that so I'm
00:08:24.340
trying to healthily pursue both in my life so your fear is drifting away too far away from your
00:08:29.580
dreams yeah i think so i think so how do you know if you're on the right path i think it's a day-to-day
00:08:37.300
thing i there's certain days where i really feel good and i go to sleep with a smile on my face
00:08:42.380
so i just try to emulate that every day so are you fully career oriented now you like
00:08:49.840
I'm a full-time attorney, but I also do music on the side.
00:08:53.580
I write my own original music and everything, too.
00:08:55.720
And if the scales ever tip that direction, I think that's where my heart would lead me.
00:09:02.060
If you were offered a musician job that paid 70% of what your attorney pays, would you take it?
00:09:14.840
I haven't, to be honest, I haven't watched them in a couple years.
00:09:17.800
but I remember watching one when you were, like, a teenager.
00:09:23.280
Probably, like, I actually was thinking about this the other day.
00:09:27.780
Probably, like, everyone I love in my life dying.
00:09:42.700
You said that you were thinking about this the other day.
00:09:47.800
Yeah, we're just talking about how afraid we are of it
00:09:51.820
But honestly, I was thinking about it and like I don't I think it's good that we don't know what happens after death
00:10:00.700
Don't know. I want to believe there's like I want to believe that there's something that's me being hopeful
00:10:07.000
Maybe maybe not. I don't know. It's kind of exciting
00:10:14.640
what's scary about death what is it the nothingness or the unknown yeah pretty much it's just like
00:10:22.180
crazy to think you're here one day and then you'll you could be gone just gone forever
00:10:28.040
like you're just nothing maybe maybe not maybe you're something yeah maybe you're something
00:10:33.280
i have a lot of other minor fears i'm sure i don't know like i guess like talking to people
00:10:39.880
i don't know i saw you i recognized you and i was like i don't know if i should say anything
00:10:43.400
But then I was like, eh, because I remember this is my station.
00:10:47.000
I go to school here, and I remember watching your podcast videos.
00:10:50.520
I was like, oh, I wonder if I'll ever see him here.
00:10:59.620
Doesn't that make you think that some things are meant to be?
00:11:04.000
Just like life and death, you know, like we're all.
00:11:08.320
You seem like a normally like introverted, socially anxious person or whatever,
00:11:12.620
but you're still what makes you introverted i'm actually not always that introverted i feel like
00:11:17.560
it kind of just depends on how i feel talking to people is a little daunting but sometimes i'm
00:11:22.420
really outgoing and i like like i don't know but i guess growing up i was introverted really shy
00:11:28.520
you know it's funny i used to be really introverted too really and then this became my
00:11:35.300
life and then you get over it like how did you take that step i don't know it's crazy i think
00:11:40.180
it's like a muscle you train because i interact with so many people every single day that it's
00:11:44.800
just you just get used to it but i i was like you you know i was always afraid of everything
00:11:51.220
afraid of confrontation um it's just something you develop if you want that to be your life
00:11:56.380
are you happy um am i happy i don't sometimes why not you look happy yeah i'm happy this is fun
00:12:17.240
That's a deep-ass question, but I'm going to give you, like, a not-so-deep-ass answer.
00:12:35.500
So my greatest fear, oh, my greatest fear, I guess it's not being happy.
00:12:41.120
Like, my greatest fear is to just, I guess, not, it's just not feel fulfilled, be happy.
00:13:04.500
I want to make sure he's proud of me so that's my number one priority how old is
00:13:09.540
he he's gonna be two in April why would he not be proud of you oh I'm sure I'm
00:13:16.500
sure you know if he understood everything going on right now he'd be
00:13:20.960
proud of me um but like always got to think about the future like you said
00:13:26.400
like I'm constantly delaying gratification I'm constantly like long
00:13:31.060
long-term thinking long-term thinking you're a star look at you but yeah just long-term thinking
00:13:37.640
i just want to make sure that i leave him stuff and teach him correctly on how to manage that
00:13:42.000
stuff so that he's good and then his kids are good and his kids are good and his kids are good
00:13:45.920
after i'm learning i'm still constantly learning trying to learn more things so i can you know
00:13:51.460
teach him you know i never had nobody really that's a good fear to have i think it must be
00:13:56.740
really motivating because sometimes fear can cripple you and fear can distract you but your
00:14:00.900
fear probably push you every single day. That's probably the first thing you would think about
00:14:04.620
when you wake up. How could I not? The first thing that I think about every day is, is my family
00:14:10.540
okay? And then after that, it's how can I secure what I have or get more securely? Because, you
00:14:16.900
know, scaling is also a really scary thing. You know, you can't just scale, scale, scale, scale,
00:14:22.080
scale, and not have a plan for how you're going to maintain the scale, you know? You want to sit
00:14:25.920
down for a minute? Sure. What is it about? It's just a one-minute podcast interviewing people in
00:14:29.660
new york where you from i'm from bolivia bolivia i don't think i've ever met somebody from bolivia
00:14:35.080
before there you go what's your biggest fear oh my god i don't know uh you got me you really got
00:14:45.880
me i don't have like a biggest uh yeah that i can say i'm not afraid of death i think we all go on
00:14:51.740
that path the last girl just said she was afraid of death yeah no i am not i guess i can tell you
00:14:57.520
what I'm not. Well, yeah, let me ask you that. Why are you not afraid of death? Because this last
00:15:00.880
girl was terrified of death. It's something natural. And whether we want it or not, when
00:15:04.960
it's our time, it's our time. That's what I believe. It could be today. It could be tomorrow.
00:15:10.820
It could be 10 years from now. It could be 20, 30 years from now. You're a confident person.
00:15:16.800
I try. Okay. Well, instead of fear, what makes you insecure?
00:15:21.900
I'm very hard on myself, so, but doubting myself, I mean, not having, I guess, the facts
