Thank you all for checking out the podcast. It was a lot of fun and I hope you enjoyed it too. At this point I have decided to pivot and focus my efforts on another podcast I'm doing with my friend, Eduardo Garcia. It's called the Tip Touch Podcast. Currently we are only on YouTube but will soon be putting our podcast out there on other platforms. Check us out!!! We'd love to hear from you.

After a long hiatus I decided to get back in the game with a story about a lawyer in Wisconsin who is suing the DHS because his K-1 visa was denied. This is just a short episode but in my efforts to put out more content this year I felt this was a good place to start.

On this episode I spoke with Patty Schoenborn who shared her heartbreaking story of getting lured into a sham marriage with a man she met online. She flew all the way to India from California with hopes of marrying her Punjabi prince on a K-14 visa. What she got instead was a hard lesson on why they say "love is blind".  Hindsight is 20/20 though and she doesn't want anyone else to fall for the trap that she did so Patt...

I finally caught up with my former cast mate, Cassia Tavares to find out what's been going on with her life since the last time we all saw her on TV. In all actuality, there was no specific topic I wanted to talk about but rather just catch up like old friends. I think the audience will notice that connection when they listen to the podcast. 

I asked what life was like in Brazil, things she misses and what some major difference...

On this episode of the podcast I tapped into the stereotypes of three different profiles of people who bring their fiancés over to American to get married using a K-1 visa. The first being women from Eastern Europe or Asia. Next, American males who marry those types of women and finally, a newer and perhaps less known stereotype- American women who travel to the Middle East looking for their Arabian prince. I address some of the mi...

On today's podcast we take a closer look at why some lawmakers want to make some changes to the K-1 Visa. There have been multiple arrests throughout the United States and authorities have been able to uncover a number of marriage fraud schemes involving hundreds of people and millions of dollars. In a surprising find, I also discovered immigration officials have been found to be a part of breaking the law by accepting bribes a...

On today's episode I swim into the deep end of the marriage swimming pool by delving into a subject with so many damaging misconceptions. Inspired by the shocking news of Soundgarden frontman, Chris Cornell's apparent suicide, I talk about the very real topic of mental illness. Using a story about my friend Jake and his own struggles with depression, I inform my audience that although mental illness is a serious topic that ...
