    DJ Sunshine on Sobriety, Self-Expression & Building a Creative Life | Here's To You

    What does success look like when you're building a creative life on your own terms? In this episode of Here's To You, we sit down with DJ Sunshine, a Wichita-based DJ, producer, entrepreneur, and creative who is building a career rooted in music, community, self-expression, and purpose. We talk about everything from performing at Burning Man, owning a karaoke business, and producing music full-time, to sobriety, emotional growth, creativity, confidence, and learning how to define success for yourself instead of chasing someone else's version of it. DJ Sunshine shares how he turned a karaoke hosting opportunity into a business, why he stopped drinking, what Burning Man's principles have taught him about life, and why community matters more than ego. Of course, we also make a custom Sunshine Spritz, dive into music recommendations, tell ridiculous stories, and wrap things up with our signature lightning round. 🥂 In this episode we discuss: • Becoming a full-time DJ and producer• Building passive income through a karaoke business• Burning Man principles and radical self-expression• Sobriety and personal growth• Following creative dreams• Confidence and authenticity• Community, friendship, and collaboration• Music, creativity, and inspiration• Defining success on your own terms 🎵 Guest: DJ Sunshine ⁠Instagram: @itsdjsunshine 🥃 Sponsored by One Life Spirits One Life Spirits is built on purpose, culture, good people, and great drinks.

    Learning to give yourself grace | Amelia "Meme" Phommachanh

    Meme Phommachanh is figuring it out — just like the rest of us. She's a model, content creator, entrepreneur, marketer, pageant director, and the founder of Social Grace. And after recently leaving her 9-to-5, she's giving herself the freedom to pursue the things she's always wanted to do. We talk about giving yourself grace, following your dreams, the pressure we put on ourselves, social media, comparison, mental health, and learning to be comfortable with the parts of yourself that once made you uncomfortable. Meme also shares the story of how participating in the Wichita Asian Festival pageant transformed her relationship with her Laotian heritage and helped her better understand her family's journey to America. And because this is Here's to You, we also somehow end up talking about a viral dolphin noise, gaming, spicy Lao food, Taylor Swift, drinks, and why Meme may be the most energetic person we've had behind the microphone. It's funny, vulnerable, chaotic, and ultimately a conversation about becoming more comfortable with who you are. Here's to Meme. 🥂 Follow memepho

    She Built the Gym She Needed | Tiffany Harlan

    What happens when the career you thought you wanted leaves you burned out? For Tiffany Harlan, the answer was reinvention. From exercise science and personal training to OrangeTheory, mortgage lending, five years as a PE teacher, motherhood, and eventually opening Movement Fitness with her husband, Tiffany's journey has been anything but straightforward. We talk about burnout, raising two kids while running a gym, building a community, HYROX, strength training, postpartum fitness, and why her definition of success has changed completely. Plus, we get into some very important topics like man makers, terrible push-ups, toddlers being tiny drunk people, pickleball, Taylor Swift, and the world's most committed sheetrock-breaking burglar. This is Tiffany Harlan's story. Here's to You. 🥂 @themvmtfitness

    Helping People Forget Life Sucks | Erick Zayas

    This week on Here's to You, we're joined by comedian, content creator, MC, and professional instigator Erick Zayas. What starts as a conversation about dating, social media, DJs, fatherhood, and the chaos of being online eventually turns into something much more personal. Erick talks about growing up in a family that struggled financially, searching for validation as a kid, and the moment he realized he wanted to become an entertainer after seeing George Lopez bring laughter into a difficult moment for his family. He also opens up about losing a childhood friend and how that experience changed his perspective on purpose, friendship, and the impact we can have on other people. For Erick, the goal isn't necessarily to find one perfect definition of success. It's much simpler: be useful, make people laugh, and help someone forget that life sucks—even if it's only for a few minutes. It's a funny, unfiltered, and surprisingly heartfelt conversation about comedy, purpose, fatherhood, friendship, and figuring out what you're supposed to do with your life. Pull up a chair and join us. Follow Erick at @erickzayas1
