On today’s episode, our hosts are joined by puppeteer Andrew Cano to talk about his unexpected journey, creative grit, and what it really means to lean into being the “weird kid.” From finding purpose through puppets to proving that your oddball passions can actually pay off, Andrew shows how embracing what you love can set you up for success.

Actor Brandon Black (Dear White People, A Madea Homecoming) joins the pod to break down what’s in, what’s out, and why saying “no ❤️” might be the real glow-up for 2026. Expect laughs, reflections on resolutions we’re keeping (and immediately breaking), and a gentle but firm reminder to fix your tech neck before the year really begins.

In this episode, our hosts are joined by Ana Sheila Victorino—Latinx storyteller, wellness advocate, and co-creator of Las Paleteras queer podcast—to unpack why love can feel so hard to prioritize in a culture obsessed with productivity and survival. Drawing from her lived experience as a queer Mexican-American immigrant and her work as a wellness and culture-change coach, Ana Sheila helps us explore how hustle culture, generational trauma, and unlearning oppressive definitions of success shape the way we show up (or don’t) for love.
