    EP 63 - EVOLVING WITH PURPOSE FT STAX

    In the Season 5 finale of the Where Are We Podcast, the crew sits down with Boston native Stax for an honest and wide ranging conversation about growth, identity, and becoming your highest self. Growing up in Dorchester as the oldest of four siblings, Stax talks about the pressure of being seen as the example in her family while still figuring life out in real time. She reflects on how her upbringing shaped her discipline early on, from participating in programs like dance, modeling, choir, and violin to developing a strong love for reading and learning that still influences her mindset today. Throughout the episode, Stax opens up about the evolution of her perspective and the personal work it takes to grow into a new version of yourself. She shares how discovering books like The Four Agreements helped shift the way she looks at life, accountability, and how we interpret the world around us. That shift sparked a deeper journey of self awareness and pushed her to reevaluate relationships, expectations, and how she connects with people from earlier phases of her life. The conversation also dives into the reality of evolving beyond your past. Stax speaks candidly about how personal growth can sometimes create distance between you and people who knew an older version of you, and how navigating that transition requires patience, reflection, and a willingness to redefine connections. At the same time, she emphasizes the importance of building routines, creating structure in adulthood, and staying intentional about personal development. From stories about her childhood nickname and the origin of the name Stax to deeper reflections on purpose, identity, and self discovery, this episode blends humor, vulnerability, and real conversation. It’s a reminder that no one has everything figured out and that growth is an ongoing process.

    We’re back with another episode of Where Are We Podcast and this time we’re sitting down with Artisan. This conversation really gets into what it means to build yourself from the ground up. Artisan opens up about where his creativity started, the early influences that shaped his mindset, and the moments that forced him to take himself serious. We talk about the difference between liking art and living it. The discipline behind it. The sacrifices. The self doubt. The pressure of wanting more while still figuring it out in real time. He speaks on family impact, finding direction when things feel uncertain, and choosing growth over comfort. There’s real talk about betting on yourself even when the results are not instant. About staying consistent when motivation fades. About understanding that vision is earned through experience, not just talent. This episode moves naturally from laughs to reflection. It’s about identity, risk, maturity, and learning how to trust your own process. If you’re building something, questioning your next move, or trying to level up creatively, this one is going to hit.

    EP 61 - WORDLY LESSONS LEARNED FT LUCKY DICE

    On this episode of the Where Are We Podcast, Andre X sits down with Boston legend Lucky Dice for a conversation full of stories, perspective, growth, and real talk from someone who has truly lived it. From the jump the vibes are there, laughs are flying, and it feels like family in the room. Dice talks about his relationship with smoking and how it evolved from something casual into something meditative and personal. That opens the door to bigger conversations about mindset, awareness, and how people grow into themselves over time. From there the episode travels across the world as the guys revisit tour memories through Europe, culture shock moments, funny run ins, and the reality of navigating different spaces while staying grounded in who you are. Travel becomes a major theme. Dice explains how seeing new places changes your perspective, how experiencing other cultures can open your mind, and why getting outside your normal environment is necessary for growth. Whether it is mountains, museums, city streets, or train rides that feel like movies, every place leaves something behind that helps shape you. The conversation then rewinds back to the beginning. Dice breaks down how music started for him, freestyling on the block, forming early groups, and building lifelong relationships through college and community. He reflects on staying genuine, leading with love, and how those connections helped build both the artist and the man he became. Fatherhood becomes one of the strongest parts of the episode. Dice speaks honestly about being a parent while chasing a dream, the sacrifices that come with it, and the lessons he tries to pass to his daughter. Andre and Dice trade experiences about raising kids, communication, patience, and how children end up teaching you just as much as you teach them. Throughout the episode, Dice drops wisdom about struggle, career setbacks, self sacrifice, and trusting that life will bring you what you need even if it doesn’t arrive how you imagined. It is reflective, funny, and full of moments that hit home for anyone trying to balance responsibility with passion. This is one of those conversations where you laugh, think, and walk away with something real.

    In this episode of Where Are We Podcast , Andre sits down with HAAWWS to talk about vices, creativity, discipline, and figuring out who you really are outside of expectations. The episode starts with the usual WAW tone, relaxed, funny, and unfiltered, before getting into HAAWWS’ relationship with cannabis, first experiences smoking, and how those habits shaped his routines and mindset. From there, the conversation opens up into childhood, growing up in Grove Hall, and what it meant to come up around community, culture, and constant pressure to succeed in specific ways. HAAWWS talks deeply about basketball, not just playing, but why he eventually fell out of love with the game. He breaks down the difference between mentorship and authority, how toxic coaching environments can push people away from what they’re actually meant to do, and how that discipline later transferred into his art instead of sports. Music becomes the real centerpiece of the episode. HAAWWS shares how creativity runs through his family, from his father’s music background to his mother’s artistry and writing, and how that shaped his love for words, rap, and storytelling. He speaks on being a solo artist, collaboration versus groups, and finding people who align creatively without forcing anything. The conversation also touches on moving to New York, struggling as an artist, navigating relationships, immigrant family expectations, and learning how to live your own life without carrying someone else’s dreams. It’s reflective, funny, and grounded, full of moments where the laughs slow down and the real thoughts come out. This episode is about growth, identity, and learning to trust where your creativity is taking you without rushing the process.
