    Soulful Smallz: Beyond The Time

    One question changed Soulful Smallz's life forever. Long before he became an R&B artist, Soulful Smallz was a little boy from East Long Beach who lost both of his parents at just six years old. Searching for belonging, he found himself caught in a cycle that led to juvenile hall, prison, and ultimately 14 years behind bars.   But it was inside prison where everything began to change.   In this deeply personal conversation, Soulful shares how music became his therapy, how one inmate's simple question—"Do you want to live life... or do you want a life?"—transformed the way he saw himself, and how Homeboy Industries helped him discover purpose beyond his past.   Today, Soulful uses his music and his story to inspire others who are searching for hope, healing, and a second chance.   This is a conversation about loss, redemption, and choosing the life you want to live.   Today’s Music Soundtrack Includes Music Artists: Soulful Smallz, Beno, and MM.   Soulful Smallz Instagram   Photographer's credit - CATHRYN FARNSWORTH   CHAPTERS   00:00 Introduction  01:39 The value of time and early life challenges 03:09 Losing both parents at age six and its impact 04:34 Childhood personality and early trauma 05:31 Memorializing parents and their influence 07:29 Imagining how to spend more time with parents 08:34 Dreams of starting a winery and creative pursuits 12:32 Life after loss and turning to the streets 14:06 Juvenile hall and rediscovery of music 15:14 Music in juvenile hall and early influences 19:10 Musical inspirations and developing a style 22:43 Moment of self-reflection and overcoming depression 23:42 Suicide attempt and divine intervention 27:29 First encouragement and stepping into music 30:41 Performing on stage after prison 32:10 Playing 'Do the Time' and its meaning 37:46 The significance of community and mentorship 43:25 The influence of Coop and life-changing questions 50:04 Discovering Homeboy Industries and its impact 54:25 The mission of Homeboy Industries 56:47 Evolving through community and faith 01:05:07 Future goals and legacy building 01:08:27 Message of hope for struggling listeners 01:09:00 What Soulful Smallz wants his life to stand for   POP CULTURE, MUSIC ICONS, & FOOD GODS - Listen More & Evolve   Catch Up With Past Shows and Your Favorite Guests - TJS MEDIA LIBRARY   Partner with The Jeremiah Show BRAND PARTNER DECK   The Jeremiah Show is brought to you by Evolve Entertainment Network www.thejeremiahshow.com https://radio-evolve.rocks   Host | Executive Producer - Jeremiah D.

    Mauricio Velázquez de León: Every Recipe Tells a Story

    Stories Worth Passing Down The first lessons we learn in life rarely come from classrooms. They come from kitchens.   For author and publisher Mauricio Velázquez de León, the aroma of simmering beans, handmade tortillas, and family recipes became a bridge between generations.   Inspired by his relative, legendary Mexican culinary pioneer Josefina Velázquez de León, Mauricio has spent his career preserving culture through storytelling—first as the founder of the award-winning children's publisher Duopress, and now through food writing that celebrates the people, traditions, and memories behind every meal.   In this heartfelt conversation, Mauricio shares his journey from Mexico City to New York, explains how homesickness led him to rediscover authentic Mexican cooking, and reflects on why food has the remarkable ability to transport us back to the people and places we love most.   We also explore the philosophy behind Duopress, the importance of making books fun for children, and how scientific research, curiosity, and creativity shaped one of the most successful children's publishing imprints in America.   Finally, Mauricio introduces his delightful new cookbook, An Illustrated Guide to Tacos and Burritos: A Comic Book with Stories, Recipes, and More—an inventive blend of culinary history, authentic recipes, and graphic storytelling that makes Mexican cooking approachable for everyone.   Whether you're passionate about food, publishing, travel, or family traditions, this episode is a reminder that the best stories are often shared around the table.   THE MUSIC SOUNDTRACK FOR THIS EPISODE INCLUDES:  Get Wild - HOUZEWORKZ & Quentin Hartz Drive It Into The Ground - The Fuses I’m Not Going Anywhere - The Golden Gaytimes Guetta - Some Sprouts   Spotify Playlist SN22Ep11     In this episode: • The extraordinary legacy of Josefina Velázquez de León, Mexico's first celebrity chef • Growing up in Mexico City and finding home through food • Building Duopress into one of America's most innovative children's publishers • Why books should be educational—and fun • Immigration, identity, and preserving culture through cooking • The inspiration behind An Illustrated Guide to Tacos and Burritos • How recipes become family heirlooms passed from one generation to the next   CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction to Mauricio Velazquez de Leon and his work 02:12 The legacy of Josefina Velazquez de León in Mexican cuisine 04:02 Food as a connection to family and cultural memory 07:02 Mauricio's discovery of Josefina's true impact and influence 09:48 How Mauricio's career path was inspired by his family and Josefina 12:04 Breaking into American media with a story about Mexican food 15:46 The significance of traditional Mexican dishes and culinary techniques 20:07 The role of food in preserving cultural identity abroad 25:04 The founding and growth of Duo Press and its mission 30:05 The principles guiding Mauricio's publishing and storytelling 37:10 Introduction to the illustrated guide to tacos and burritos 39:54 The creative decision to illustrate the cookbook as a comic book 44:45 Design choices inspired by Mexican graphic art and street culture 50:03 Making food fun and accessible for a global audience 55:11 The scientific research behind infant visual development 01:00:06 How the book reflects Mexican culture and regional diversity 01:04:47 Mauricio's hopes for how readers will connect with Mexican culture 01:08:56 Closing thoughts and upcoming projects   Order AN ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO TACOS AND BURRITOS here!   TacosandBurritosBook.com   Instagram   Catch Up With Past Shows and Your Favorite Guests - TJS MEDIA LIBRARY   Partner with The Jeremiah Show  BRAND PARTNER DECK   The Jeremiah Show is brought to you by Evolve Entertainment Network  www.thejeremiahshow.com https://radio-evolve.rocks   Host | Executive Producer - Jeremiah D.

    SANGINA: Freedom to Become

    Some journeys take us far from home. Others teach us that home never really leaves us. Born in Kazakhstan to a Kazakh father and an Uzbek mother, award-winning singer-songwriter SANGINA joins The Jeremiah Show for a deeply personal conversation about identity, freedom, and the experiences that shape who we become. From the ancient Silk Road and the traditions of Central Asia to recording music in Los Angeles, her story bridges two cultures while remaining deeply rooted in both. During the conversation, SANGINA reflects on growing up in a family of entrepreneurs, discovering music through childhood choir, competing on international television shows including The Voice, and the life-changing competition in Turkey that gave her the confidence to pursue music professionally. She shares how studying at Musicians Institute opened new creative possibilities as a songwriter, producer, and independent artist while helping her build a career entirely on her own terms. She also discusses blending Eastern musical traditions with contemporary Western production, preserving the excitement of songwriting, navigating the challenges of independence, and mentoring aspiring singers to become confident, self-sufficient artists rather than relying on a vocal coach forever. Along the way, SANGINA reflects on representing Kazakhstan wherever she goes—not simply as the country where she was born, but as the place that taught her generosity, resilience, and, above all, freedom. She also shares the remarkable milestones of becoming one of Kazakhstan's first Grammy Voting Members, receiving multiple nominations at the Hollywood Independent Music Awards, and explains why she believes success begins with remaining curious enough to keep learning. In this episode:   CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction and Sangina's Heritage 02:54 Journey from Uzbekistan to Kazakhstan and her family story 05:09 Sangina's musical influences and cultural roots 18:16 Her early musical training and discovery of singing 22:45 Winning competitions and her breakthrough moments 28:24 Representing Kazakhstan and cultural pride 32:26 Why she moved to Los Angeles for her music career 36:29 Cultural differences and women's roles in Kazakhstan 40:16 Living with dual identity and embracing her roots 45:53 Her song 'My Motherland' and love for Kazakhstan 58:22 Kazakh music's influence on her sound 01:02:16 Incorporating traditional instruments and melodies 01:05:05 Writing lyrics in multiple languages and translation challenges 01:06:20 Preserving passion in music production 01:10:49 Recording at Frank Sinatra's studio and its significance 01:13:10 Challenges of being an independent artist 01:16:17 Maintaining confidence and passion amidst criticism 01:19:03 Recent inspirations and her recent achievements 01:21:23 Her role as a vocal coach and mentoring artists 01:26:52 Releasing her new single 'Shady' and upcoming projects   Featuring the original songs "My Motherland" and "Shady."   SANGINA WEBSITE   SANGINA INSTAGRAM   SANGINA SPOTIFY   POP CULTURE, MUSIC ICONS, & FOOD GODS - Listen More & Evolve   Catch Up With Past Shows and Your Favorite Guests - TJS MEDIA LIBRARY   Partner with The Jeremiah Show  BRAND PARTNER DECK   The Jeremiah Show is brought to you by Evolve Entertainment Network  www.thejeremiahshow.com https://radio-evolve.rocks   Host | Executive Producer - Jeremiah D.
