American Groove - #96 Being a Somebody

We as humans have been raised from a young age with the idea of success. For some, that means college when you are old enough. For others, it can be a trade past by a family member or a close friend. Life is truly so much better now than it has ever been, and in today's society, with how vast the internet is and all the options you can choose, how can you be somebody, and where do you begin? Karissa and I when full-on metal with this episode. Partially due to how difficult a conversation like this can be. Your life can be hard to explain or describe why and how you are somebody is irrelevant; it makes no sense because simply being somebody doesn't revolve around what others think but what you think. 🌟Karissa's Social links 🌟 If you don't know, Karissa is a makeup artist that has worked on numerous film sets for large productions and is a licensed esthetician.

Lost in the Groove is my space to explore the real, raw, and unexpected. I started this podcast because I was tired of feeling like nothing ever changes. My therapist once suggested, I write letters to the government to express my frustrations. Then I thought, "Why not create a podcast instead?" Here, I can talk about what I want, with whoever I want, no matter their beliefs. For me, it's about having honest conversations,. Breaking down walls, and getting people to think beyond the surface.

I grew up in a blue-collar family in the suburbs outside New York City, raised as an Orthodox Jew. Leaving the religious community in 2017 was a pivotal moment for me. It allowed me to embrace my identity as an artist, and chart my own path. Who I am today, and what this podcast represents, is deeply tied to my journey. Leaving a community that was a cult; still is. Discovering authenticity, creativity, and independence in myself.

I’m a car enthusiast, an artist, and someone who thrives on creative expression. From old-school rap, and psychedelic rock. To vintage muscle cars and European classics. I’m all about the things that inspire passion.
My co-host, Karissa Andrews, joins me for American Groove. Our segment on stoner culture, and life’s weirder twists. She’s an incredibly talented makeup artist, aesthetician, and candle maker. She brings a spice, pizazz, and realness to every conversation.

This podcast isn’t about chasing fame or conforming to trends, it’s about the experience. I want listener, whether they’re driving home, cooking, or just unwinding. To feel like they’re part of something real. Lost in the Groove is my way of staying true to myself, while connecting with others. learning, and having fun along the way.
