Hey!

Welcome back to another episode of Rise, Shine, and Redefine! Today’s conversation is one that lit my soul on fire… and it just might do the same for you.

I sat down with Luis— Amazing Entrepreneur & my Podcast Guy!—for a no-fluff, full-energy deep dive into what it really takes to find your voice, launch your platform, and thrive in the wild world of podcasting.

Yes… I finally caved and wore the headphones (shoutout to Luis for the gentle peer pressure 😅).

But that moment symbolized something bigger: stepping fully into the role of creator, storyteller, and leader.

In this episode, Luis and I peel back the curtain on:

How to overcome imposter syndrome and show up with confidence

What nobody tells you about growing your audience (even if you're starting from zero)

The art of inviting high-level guests—and getting YESes

Simple ways to monetize without selling your soul

Why podcasting is so much more than a mic and a message

Luis shares his raw, unfiltered journey—from battling self-doubt to building a powerful platform that opens doors and changes lives. This isn’t just a conversation about podcasting—it’s about permission. To speak. To lead. To shine.

If you’ve been thinking about starting a podcast (or reigniting the one collecting dust), this episode will give you the spark, the strategy, and the soul to go all in.

Hit play, take notes, and get ready to rise, shine, and redefine what’s possible with your voice.
