The justCARR Podcast

Before I get too far into Season 3, I wanted to take some time to get everybody updated on my life, so I decided to share some of my favorite memories/happenings from the last year. Spark notes: 1. Therapy (shoutout to Grace LCSW) 2. Uchūsen (Choo-Sehn) — from Parks Auto Sales in CLT, shoutout to Tiffany 3. Krump in general & QCK specifically (follow @qc_krumpofficial) 4. Better overall health & w...

This episode, we hear from Cassie Tsolis, an artist, space-maker, and the creator of Echo Movement Sessions. Tap in to hear Cassie share how she sets her intentions, working with integrity, and how rest & play are integral to The Work that she does. This episode was an awesome way to kick off the third season, and a good way to start the year. You can find Cassie’s social media info below! @cassan...

“It’s like ‘supply and demand,’ literally. What’s missing and what can I bring?” — “Kreative Kay” Coop In this episode I have the pleasure of speaking with Kay, a community organizer and leader in Charlotte, NC. Through her organization, Kulture Klash, Kay provides performance, training, and networking opportunities for artists and dancers in the city. How does she stay consistent? What drives her...

In this episode Jodie discusses her philosophy regarding “work,” her ever-evolving relationship with Yoga, and how she focuses her intention. This conversation is sure to inspire all of the creators, thinkers, and doers; sometimes we just need a reminder of our greatness. W...

For the first episode of the season, I got to chat with Sherwin Salonga (aka "Beast") -- it was only right to bring the podcast back with a bang. If you're involved with street dance, you probably know Beast as a Champion, Leader, and Innovator in Krump, as well as the creator of "The Beast Camp" and "Beastville."  I was fortunate to pick Beast's brain, as we discuss his early work as an activist,...

I'm bringing you another VERY special episode of the justCARR Podcast, this week, as I feature some of the best co-workers/family that I've ever known -- I'm happy to introduce: The Camp Horizons OGs! If you didn't know, I worked at the YMCA, for almost ten years. During that time, I worked after school and summer camp programs, which is (to this day) my favorite job that I've ever held! What bett...

This episode is pretty special to me because I was able to get some of my bros together to record. You all may have met Jason Dawkins, but I also have my (actual biological) brother, Billy (aka Raydin) & Kylil (Solo) -- needless to say this episode is FULL of energy and character. We talk  about what's happening on social media; good shows to binge, during quarantine; and more! I plan to...

I'm getting back into the swing of things (meaning I'm finally caught up on old audios & will be producing new content)! I'm also looking forward to taking The justCARR Podcast in a new direction; HOWEVER, before we get to all of that...I'm so excited to introduce: Mady Jewelinski! Mady has been quietly building herself a little fashion empire, after kicking much ass, in the dance industry. In...

I know it's been a while since an episode has dropped, but Jahred and I recorded this episode, before the world "caught on fire." For the last few weeks, my attention has been elsewhere. NONETHELESS, this is an AMAZING episode with my guy, my boy, dancer, choreographer, poet, author, brag, brag, brag: Jahred Rice! We discuss his new book, "The Truth About Truth," dealing with trauma, current event...

We're going to keep bringing cool people onto the podcast to talk to us because I have a lot of very wise and talented friends. Speaking of wise and talented...I present: Friidom! Dancer, Actor, Movement Composer, Mentor, and Sci-Fi Black Nerd, and more. We talk art post-Covid, why "It don't just come like that," and yes, you guessed it, Watchmen. No spoilers though, I promise. This is a good one...

On this special, 2-part episode, I chat with another of my best friends, Jason Dawkins. In true fashion, my conversation with Jason went much longer than we anticipated, so we were able to dive deep into our friendship and the development, over the years. In the final part of the podcast, we talk about the pivotal moments in our friendship, the lessons we learned from each other, and the mindset w...

On this special, 2-part episode, I chat with another of my best friends, Jason Dawkins. In true fashion, my conversation with Jason went much longer than we anticipated, so we were able to dive deep into our friendship and the development, over the years. In this first part, we discuss how we meet, at App State; the personal challenges we faced; and much more!  As I mentioned in the podcast,...

It is was my honor to have one of my best friends, Hadiya Njemilé, for this episode! Hadiya and I have been friends since college and remained very close, since graduating. We discuss all of the "good times," the ways we have both grown in the past year, her travels, as well as her experience in New York City. Get ready for laughs, loves, and a little culture, in this podcast! If you want to know...

Who else feels like they're lucky to have made it as far as they did? Is anyone else having a grand 'ol quarantine birthday? In this episode, I recap my birthday this year, as well as, reflect on the lessons that I learned in the past year. I discuss the pitfalls of 2019, share techniques I employed to create better habits, describe pivotal moments of change, and show appreciation for those who he...

Do you ever find it difficult to commit to new habits? Are you you willing to 'get going,' but you don't know where to start? In this "test" episode of the justCARR Podcast, I speak briefly about the elements that help create lasting change in our lives. Following a consultation with a client, I wanted to briefly touch base on my perspective on personal development & positive, lasting change....
