Going In(D)

After taking half a year off, this week we have a solo musician, Emmanuel (AKA "Manny"), who goes by Lost in a Memory. Manny talks about what inspired him to get into music as such a young age and why he does a solo act over a band. We compare notes on how we write a song and the struggles of finishing demos. All this and more! Also, Manny makes some of the coolest music videos this year and it's a real inspiration!

This week, we have the master of hype when it comes to introductions and reporting on tech: Vyyyper! I got to sit down with him and go over where the name Vyyyper came from, how he decided to get started on YouTube after being on the platform for a decade, and our feud/rivalry with Starbucks and who's the leader of that hype, plus much more!

To kick off the first season of this series, I wanted to sit down and get to know my good friend Drew a little bit better. We went over his upbringing, how het started getting into films and YouTube, why film school wasn't really on the table for him, and how life has changed since he's gone full-time. Sit back, relax, as we go in the Tailosive Brain!

Do you like watching YouTube? Or listening to podcasts? How about music? What about all of the above? I bet you have a favorite creator (or creators) for each platform, huh?

I know I do.

Have you ever wondered how they got there? What drove them to be who they are today? Maybe wondered what their story was?

I know I have.

Well, everyone DOES have a story. Each is unique but equally important to the overall story: Becoming an independent content creator.

This is Going In(D) - A show about going independent. I’m your host, Randy Vazquez, and I talk with independent content creators of all backgrounds by going in their minds to understand how they think and why they do what they do.

This season, we’ll be getting extensive time behind some of my friends who also happen to be some my favorite creators. From the people I’ve worked with, to collaborations, to just mutual respect of the craft, I’ll be getting deep and personal in their backstories.

No fronts. No expectations. Just stories. THEIR stories.

In a market where EVERYTHING is saturated and it’s more about quantity over quality, it’s my goal to help bridge that gap in an honest way where we can understand those we admire from afar….maybe just a little bit closer…in a more humanizing way.

New episodes will be coming out every Monday. If you like this series, be sure to give us a rating on your favorite podcast app, leave a comment, write a review, and if you’re interested in me sitting down with someone one-on-one, let me know! If it’s important to you, it’s important to me.

This is Going In(D), and we are about to go in THE minds of the creators we love watching, hearing, and supporting.
