The FORTIETH Wednesday of Twenty Twenty Four brings us to episode 032. For a second straight week, we welcome one of my brozays to the HQ. I've had the pleasure of meeting her through my time at UTEP, and since our first introductions, I have been able to see a LEGEND in the making! Her career, and life as a whole, have been driven through consistent values and clear cut goals and ambitions. Habits grow as you continuously enforce them, and these have led her to play a major role in our community's development. Her efforts revolve around improving the quality of life for El Pasoans. To be more specific, she contributes to our economy's development by working with prospective businesses that can bring their companies to the Sun City. This opens up employment and resources for our population thus providing us with new and growing opportunities. Her other focus is within critical infrastructure and during our episode, we learn about what a good chunk of our neighbors are experiencing due to our geography, city age, and other factors. Building and developing our city is involves a massive web of people who are all turning so many gears, and getting a chance to understand that better brought us so much more appreciation - and patience - for our city's growth. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, live at the HQ, we welcome... KASSANDRA HUHN.

Wednesday number Thiry-Nine of Twenty Twenty Four brings us to our Thirty-First episode of MFHQ. A lot of numbers, we know... But, this week one of my bro bros takes a seat with us and catches us up on the past few years of his journey. During this time, he's developed in a way - personally and professionally - that's given him the opportunity to share and provide for all of the different teams that make up his day to day life. Family, upcoming leaders within work, little league soccer teams... he's become equipped to progress through life with certainty and fulfillment and bring those under his guidance along with him. Our guest realizes the beauty of life when all is in harmony with each other, and when the values of your professional and personal career become one of the same, the small wins become gigantic and every moment in life is taken all the way in. As he mentions during our conversation, he wasn't on a bad path, and yet he still experiences each passing moment as though it's a chance to learn and develop further. A clear cut recipe for a complete life. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, live at the HQ, we welcome... CHRISTOPHER CANO.

The thirty-eighth Wednesday of Twenty Twenty Four. Today, we bring over some legends who are rising in the conversation and podcast game right alongside with us. Their focus on their hometown of Anthony, Texas allows them to capture unique stories coming out of one of the smaller surrounding areas of La Frontera. As lifelong friends, their ability to navigate through conversation is smooth, authentic, and refreshing as we get a mixture of chemistry filled banter and great storytelling. Personally, we love what they're doing, as it is absolutely important to document the stories coming from our borderland, and for them to carve out their own niche lane... It's music to our Emmeff ears. Twas an honor to be a guest on their platform, and we hope to have been just as great of hosts. This episode is for the squads out there who've been able to build up something for the long haul. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, live at the HQ, we welcome...

Our guest, who has been in the field for roughly six years now, is a psychologist whose goals are to make resources for mental health more accessible and digestible, with introducing the matter at much younger ages being one of his biggest long term goals. The Bill Nye of Mental Health, he aspires to be. And as we break down all of the components surrounding our complex psychology’s, we understand why we, as individuals, need to prioritize and be more aware of our mental barriers, or lack thereof. So much stems from how we operate, and this episode was amazing at diving into all of it. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, live at the HQ, we welcome... JUSTIN KEPPLE.

The Thirty-Sixth Wednesday of Twenty Twenty Four. Earlier in April, we were barely hitting the teens of Wednesdays! Also earlier in April, we had a special opportunity. As lovers of music, we are constantly impressed and introduced to new waves of sound that continue to pull us deeper into the sonic world. We had already known one half of today's guests, and in 2021, her collaborations led us to become fans of new production that we may have never heard otherwise. Three years later, we got to meet the man behind said production. Manifestation at its finest. This meeting of the minds has been so inspiring to learn more about because it teaches us so much about our own mission and what it means to come together to create something bigger than the individual parties at hand. Everything you do leads up to where you are now. And we focus in on that during this conversation. It's incredible to see how the culmination of career comes together, and how the perception of your craft evolves over time. One half of our guests has been around our platform since the early beginning, even helping us celebrate our 1-year anniversary. Now, her and our other guest came through to celebrate year number 5. Man... what a celebration it was... pure legends on the stage. And now we get to enjoy good conversation. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, live at the HQ, we welcome... A. BILLI FREE & THE LASSO.

Wednesday Number Thirty-Five. Today, we have an absolute monster conversation for you all. From balling it up in the McDonald's league, to passively sharing cross country trails, to Parkland vs Riverside high school basketball - I've known today's guest and unknowingly kept up with his story all through the adolescent years. To see that mirroring timeline get to continue into our professional creative careers is an opportunity for those creators to come together and share wise words. There's two tiers of creators: those who are passive and those who mobilize, and in order to be one or the other, a lot of factors come into play. Our guest today eloquently dives into each of those factors and dissects each one down to it's essence allowing him to continuously challenge not only himself, but the community as a whole. After having this conversation with our guest, we too are extremely prepared and motivated to continue pushing the standard of storytelling here in La Frontera. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, live at the HQ, we welcome... JORDAN ZAMUDIO.

The Thirty-Fourth Wednesday of Twenty Twenty Four. This Wednesday brings us two guests that share a bit about something we haven't had the chance to dive into fully just yet! Beginning with a rekindling in California, our two guests discovered their passion and started their journey within the world of mushrooms. Through education and personal experience, they gained an understanding of their benefits and opportunities, and decided to pay it forward. Spreading their knowledge through the California communities, they saw an opportunity to return to their hometown in El Paso and educate our city on the matter as well. The mission goes even deeper as they have also established a micro-farm with the purpose of providing the city with locally sourced produce resulting in many new avenues of commerce and consumption for our community. We share our conversation with them on the eve of an extremely busy weekend as they continue to make their mark here in the Sun City. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, live at the HQ, we welcome... EL PASO MUSHROOM CO.

Wednesday numero 32. We have now reached our 24th episode. NOTHING BUT GOOD CONVERATIONS. Today, my BRO BRO comes thruuuuu. We first met during our time at UTEP. Our paths were connected through our journey through the college of business, and since, I've been able to witness a colleague become a very good friend. Along the way, we've all been able to see as her career has taken shape in many ways that have allowed her to become a well-rounded professional built to maneuver through today's day and age. Her interests and hobbies have become a platform that allows her community to be better connected, and her education has simultaneously let her build a secure background within the world of finance. A rare balance of risk and foundation that really allows a person to thrive. You know that means! We had to hear all about it...
