Mind of the Messiah

A birthday episode for my special lady! Happy birthday, Tonks! I love you 💕❤️

Busy, busy, month for the Hrabans! March was a great change of pace from our very slow February; we actually were able to get out and about. It’s always a warm feeling to get back in the action. Red Velvet Photography had a very solid 31 days! 🔥🔥🔥 Tune in to hear a recap of our month—including the introduction of our new night vision video camera, Tonkie and I’s hikes at Hayman Falls & The...

Today’s a beautiful day! I am so proud to have reached my three-year anniversary with the Mind of the Messiah podcast. It’s hard to believe this show started back in 2022; it still feels like it just got going a few months ago. Either way, I have nothing but smiles on my face today 🙂 Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to tune in! I appreciate the love and support with all of my heart. I...

No description needed (: Sit back and enjoy!

Gang! We’re cruising right on into 2025. With that said, although the year is going by fast, OUR 2025 is moving slower than ever—especially, February. The Hraban household has been fighting sickness left and right, since January 28th! Whatever has been going around has been kicking our asses. Unfortunately, being sick has closed the doors on a lot of opportunities to get out and about. Simply put,...

Topic: “A Coward dies many deaths.”

AHHHHHHHHHH fuckkkkkk yessssssssssssssssss!!! Man, I was excited to get behind the mic today. It has been a while since I've podcasted due to my writing project. However, today, I'm happy to announce that the keys have begun typing! I've spent the last month on the outline of all nine chapters; it is finally ready to hit the page. Tune in to hear an update on the book project, as well as hear a sn...

Topic: A conversation with past versions of yourself.

Hey, guess what?! This is the first segment of Footprints and Photographs in 2025! January has been a slower month for us, possibly one of the slowest we’ve experienced in the last year or two. We were completely okay with that! The last few month have been nothing but chaotic and stressful, so a pause from all the craziness was much needed. With that said, we had a lot of fun and exciting moments...

Today is a huge milestone for Red Velvet Photography! As of 1/27/2025, we’ve reached our five-year mark since the beginning of our Exposure platform. Truly, it is an amazing feeling! I feel proud and honored to be able to experience this moment. ❤️ I’d like to thank Kylle and Tonkie for all of the beautiful work they have contributed to each page over the past five years. It is a wonderful thing w...

Gang, 300 episodes!! Fuck yes 🙌 Thank you to EVERYONE who tunes in! I feel honored knowing someone’s out there listening—even if it's just to me sitting behind a microphone, ranting about life and whatever else crosses my curious mind. Again, thank you! 🙏❤️🙂🎙️ Mind of the Messiah (3/18/22 - 1/24/25)

A tribute to Tonkie and I’s 4-year wedding anniversary! ❤️💍❤️

Today is the day I started my fourth book - Red Velvet Photography: One Shutter at a Time .

Folks, let’s strap in for the last segment of Footprints and Photographs of 2024. It's crazy to consider how fast 2024 has reached its end! The year really flew by, and unfortunately, photography often took the backseat when life got busy. It was our slowest year for photography, but that's okay! We still managed to pull off 26 Exposure pages. We wanted to go out with a bang, so RVP got together f...

Ohhhhhh shiiiiiiit, it’s one of the final Footprints and Photographs of the year. It’s always a bittersweet feeling as we wrap up the year and prepare for what’s ahead. But before we do that, we like to reflect on our entire year. Reflection is important for us. It serves as a time to appreciate the hard work we’ve put into our Exposure pages and to honor our journey together. I’m so proud and ful...

Topic: Statistics are bullshit.

Merry Christmas, gang! Today, I took a brief minute to cover a few things—such as why this holiday is so special to me and an inside peek at our holiday agenda. Because of how special this time of the year is to us, we intend to capitalize on the warm feelings and great times! Enjoy your holiday! 🎄🫶

Topic: Why our biological instincts cause us to rely on authority figures (government) in the face of fear.

Topic: Examining the primitive feeling of revenge.

Topic: The social acceptance of caffeine.

An early morning check-in with myself.

GANG! Welcome to the recap edition of Footprints and Photographs. Now that November is officially wrapped up, we head into Wisconsin’s chilliest month. However, before that can happen, we have to cover the highlights of November because it was a busy goddamn month for us, too busy if you ask me. But, that’s what makes life so interesting! We are kept on our toes, and by doing that, we avoid compla...
