Two years of the UPcoming

So, it’s been two years since I founded the UPcoming. Since then, I have had an interesting new roster of guests. From activists to screenwriters, to entrepreneurs, it’s been another crazy ride. Still, I’m happy that my guests came on and I support their journeys. It’s not easy, but it’s possible and that’s what matters.

So, as I look back on the path I’m on as a podcast host, I can’t help but think about how things have evolved since I started.

• New ways to spread the word:

  • I’ve started doing an interview series called “Random Interviews with the UPcoming”. I found town events, markets, and local pop-ups where I interviewed typically small business owners, and learned about why they enjoyed doing what they did and what the most important thing about being a business owner was. I have also joined networking events, clubs, and worked jobs where I could let people know about the UPcoming.

• Exciting new guests to check out.

  • I’ve had the honor of interviewing people like Randy Rawlings, Founder and CEO of AI-powered company Aneu, Monday, Singer and Songwriter, and Maxwell Pearce, Harlem Globetrotter and accomplished artist. As time goes on, I hear even more incredible life stories that let me know this is a podcast worth hosting.

• New collaborations.

  • I’ve recently appeared on the Chik Chatting Show with the exceptional Alejandra A. Carr (no relation), and me and my episode 40 guest, Randy Rawlings had our collab episode, titled “Aneu Approach with the UPcoming”. It was a lot of fun, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to have Randy on my show again. Please support him and check out his podcast Aneu Approach. I plan to be on more podcasts very soon.

• The UPcoming website.

  • Building this website is only the start. I have so much further to go, but I’m even more excited for what’s to come.

Welp, look forward to telling you about my next guest. Stay tuned for the next episode of the UPcoming, the perfect place to catch the best and brightest on their way to the top.
