If you haven't heard my first interview with Ian, peep episode number #3 of this podcast. yup. you heard (err...read) that right. my third podcast ever was with this man. he had just returned from coaching basketball in bangkok. and now we're in chiang mai. life is a mind fuck. 

Ian came back out to Thailand on a new life adventure and we were able to chop it up on my rooftop. Ian shares how he was on the fast track to getting a Masters and being a teacher. until he jumped into those philly schools! man, i wish i could explain what that shit is actually like. i have so much more respect for teachers now. when you in the trenches, it’s too real.

makes me reflect on those nearly two years going to war everyday. life is so different now. i truly can’t explain it. if you’re thinking of taking a leap of faith, no matter what it is, i can’t encourage you enough to do it.

this podcast episode was an absolute blast. we chop it up about Ian coming face to face with a King Cobra, getting punched in the face and then escaping from some thugs at a night club in Bangkok, and his decision to make a career pivot to become a visual storyteller/modern philosopher.

yeah. we take it everywhere on this one.

appreciate my man coming out all the way from Philly. i think it opened his eyes to the way i’m living out here, and we had an absolute blast.

THE LEGEND RETURNS: With Modern Philosopher Ian Lewis

When two men from upstate link up across the world you know it’s gonna be something special.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with @christopherwchiu this week for the podcast, and when i say we GOT one? Bruh. Y’all don’t even know.

If you don’t know about Chris you’re about to. I’ve been a fan of this man for about 8 months and I’m so stoked I finally had a chance to chop it up with him.

This man has lived about 7 different lives at this point. What an adventure.

We get into all the crazy shit that’s happened to this man in the past, but these days Chris leads groups on transformative retreats in South America, and has been holding men’s circles in Chiang Mai over the past month. I was fortunate to attend and it’s an incredible blend between masculinity and vulnerability.

I am so stoked to share this story with y’all.

THE HERO'S JOURNEY: A Candid Conversation with Christopher Chiu

if you’ve ever tried to teach yourself any audio or video editing software you understand the learning curve can be steep af.

i know the feeling. i’ve been making beats now damn near a decade and still learn new shit everyday. but that’s the beauty of it. if you’re able to stay curious and inspired it’s half the battle.

i’ve been hinting not so subtly about this new course on music production i’m putting together, and in today’s podcast i talk about everything that goes into it, what it covers, and my overall vision for it.

it’s also a typical Kia podcast so i spew plenty of nonsensical shit as well...but OH. YEAH. THATS. RIGHT. IM DOING MEEEE.

IM DOING MEEEE.

WHAT AM I D...okay i’m done.

if you want to learn my three step system for putting together beats i talk about it a bit on the episode what you can expect to learn.
get at me.
