Makeda Declet and Erica Lynn Castillo are LA actors, bringing you affordability in a hustle n' flow city.

Living outside the 9-5 has never felt so bougie.

Fun, light, and inspiring
I look forward to this podcast every week! Each episode feels like you’re just hanging out with friends, which has been especially welcome during the pandemic. I could listen to Makeda and Erica’s banter all day, and the guests they choose are always really interesting. This is a feel-good podcast that highlights something we can all relate to— people just trying their best and helping each other figure it out along the way.
Um, yes
Love the premise of this podcast. The guests have been so fun and so wise. Makeda and Erica should just emcee/host everything. Somebody turn this into a TV show. Pilot is already written: two people who ended up on some rooftop pool party at a bar while looking for a happy hour deal. Here for it.
