From Concert Tickets to Radio Fame: Carolina Calix's Journey, Wine Tastings, and OnlyFans.

Ever wonder how winning concert tickets could set off a career? On this EP, we're sitting down with Carolina Calix, a Miami-born powerhouse who stumbled into radio stardom and it all started with winning concert tickets. From her start at Power 96 to becoming a voice for latinas on SiriusXM, Carolina dives into her journey of finding her true voice, repping her roots, and learning from big names like Elvis Duran and Enrique Santos. 

 But it’s not all career talk—we’re adding a splash of wine and a dash of real. Carolina brings her fiery personality to our tasting sesh, kicking things off with a glass of Moscato (think ripe peaches and honeysuckle vibes). This sipping fuels our convo on the controversial perception of OnlyFans. Then, we keep it rolling with a crisp Côte des Roses Sauvignon Blanc, as we segue into a discussion about the gender pay gap.

 To wrap it up, Carolina Calix shares her pride in launching a bilingual Top 40 station for SiriusXM and her commitment to staying rooted in her Miami community while leveling up nationally. Whether you're a wine enthusiast, a radio head, or someone seeking inspiration from compelling career stories, this episode promises a blend of laughs, insight, and flavor. Let's make a toast to professional growth!

I feel that is sweet right.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
It is Well.
What's cool about this for meis that the Moscato.
I don't know about you, but Iremember the first time I jumped
into a Moscato yeah, me too.
That's like everybody's firstpoint it was everybody's like
beginner starter pack, and I'mjust gonna say it for what it
was.
Like we had like probably thebiggest rapper of our time like
always rapping about it, like inall of his songs or a bunch of

(03:35):
his songs.
Like you know what I'm gonnabuy about a Moscato?
You see it, uh, at CVS or atthe Walgreens it's good price,
big amount.
But this particular Moscato tome doesn't taste as sweet.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
I agree.
I will say that Usually they'rea lot sweeter.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Right, right right, it's kind of like me, it's like
I'm a little sweet, not toosweet.
Danny, let's get back to thepoint, all right, all right, all
right, let's not talk about me.
Let's let's not talk about me.
So so, check this out.
So, uh, I just told you we,I've worked with you throughout
the years, so I've had theopportunity to kind of see like
the climb with you.
So what, from your perspective,walk me a little bit through

(04:13):
your journey, kind of liketimeline style I mean honestly,
I think one of the betterstories of my climb was the way
I started.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
The better stories of my climb was the way I started.
Okay, and it was because it wasso very serendipitous Miami
girl, born and raised.
So of course you know,especially down here, we have a
heritage of what Miami stationssound like and what they are.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
You almost made me talk.
I was going to be like is thatwhere that accent comes from?

Speaker 3 (04:42):
And of course I'm your Miami mommy and, uh, of
course I'm your miami mommy.
So, um, but yeah, no.
So when I got into radio, I itwas by mistake.
I say it's by mistake, but Ithink it always just was in my
future, because I did tvproduction in high school.
I knew editing, I knew all ofthat.
I wanted to be in entertainment.
But you know, hispanichondureña and and first

(05:06):
generation here wanted to makesure that what I went after and
I studied I was going to be ableto pay back.
And during that journey ofstudying speech therapy, I
actually won some tickets to gowatch the Throne with Jay-Z and
Kanye West with Power 96.
Shout out to them, the firststation that took me in.
And through that I got to meetthe promotions director and I

(05:29):
was just like, yeah, you know, Iwanted to be in this.
And I was like you know, if youhave advice of how to get in,
what would you tell me?
And he's like you know whatYou're talking to, the perfect
person, do you need internshiphours?
And I was like I actually do.
I was right in the middle.

(05:51):
It's like three credits awayfrom speech therapy, I needed
internship hours.
So it worked out perfect.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
That's how I got my foot into the building, and then
it just kind of snowballed Holdon, hold on, hold on, hold on,
because that part, I mean, youprobably told me this story like
once upon a time.
You're basically telling methat you won tickets, yeah, and
then you won more than justtickets.
You showed up and you were like, hey, can I have while we're at
it, can I also have this on theside?

Speaker 3 (06:14):
and they gave it to you pretty much so like, okay, I
know it's crazy, hold on, but Iknow it sounds really crazy.
I said it sounds easy, but thething was at that point I was an
all-state insurance agent, so Iwas like you know, I was like
19, grabbing the bag, but I wasworking in Kendall and at that
time Power 96, which back thenwas Beasley, was in.

(06:39):
Shout out to Beasley.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Shout out to Beasley.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah.
So I had multiple calls withthe promotions team where I was
like hey, we kind of work thesame hours.
We have a nine to five shift.
Like I need to get thesetickets, I really want to go to
this show.
And in one of those I ended uptalking to the director, shout
out to Porphy and Ruben thatwere basically the leads of what

(07:03):
that was and he's like listen,listen, we're doing House of
Horrors.
Horrors, I can never that thatword horrors.
Um, it's out here in Miami.
And that was a halfway pointfor me.
So I met them there and afterlike all those conversations,
while waiting for the tickets,we just had like the talk of hey
, yeah, I'm doing speech therapyand I would love to do this and

(07:24):
that, and then I just shot myshot and I was like yo, so what
if I wanted to be in this?

Speaker 1 (07:28):
and it worked out I just shot my shot yeah you know,
I, I would, I would likecomplain a little bit if I
didn't also have like a nicelike oh snap, this kind of just
happened, but I things don'tjust happen, they don't.
They don't just happen likethere's like an extreme amount
of luck there, Like I got totell you, like it wouldn't have
been an opportunity for you hadyou not been prepared for it.

(07:50):
I think that comes back fromyour high school like stuff and
the passion like prior to.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Of course, and we were just saying that I think
you know I always be like oh,it's luck, or you know, and it
kind of really wasn't if itwasn't because I had known how
to you know edit video, how todo audio, I had that exactly.
Plus you add that I was alsostudying speech therapy, which

(08:15):
beach has to do with radio, um,and then I am this loud ass
person and they put me in thepromotion.
It just it worked out.
But no, nothing is ever luck.
Um, one of the biggest thingsthat I'm I'm a big believer in
is, if you really want something, ask, ask, prepare yourself,

(08:36):
because that that moment isdefinitely preparation meets
opportunity, and that's whatcreates that luck for you.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Um, and for sure that's what created it for me I
believe that yeah, I believe itnow going along with this
timeline by the time we met, sosimilar to you and I'm gonna
spare you guys details, isn'tabout me but I also had the
internship opportunity withpower 96, like once upon a time
by the time I got there, though,you were already doing like big

(09:05):
things, but not at power, andno, so I was at the sister
station.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
I was a kiss country, which a lot of people um tend
to be very surprised that Iworked for the country station
because, as you can see, I don'tlook like I know country and I
actually did not know countryright when I got into that
station.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
I took it for the opportunity of what it was
that's fair to say, because I,especially, I think in those
times like there wasn't a bigcommunity, like like a big
country community.
I think it was just starting toemerge a little bit.
No, my or, or, is it just like,me, like, or us, or I?

Speaker 3 (09:38):
think it was us it was us so it was a very big um
community in the sense that itseemed to be more Broward and I
think you like me until we gotinto radio we started really
exploring the rest of SouthMiami or South Florida.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
In other words evolved.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
We opened our eyes that there was more than Miami,
absolutely Especially born andraised down here.
I think when people would belike, come to Broward, come to
West Palm, we're like for what,we have everything and more down
here.
Uh, I think when people wouldbe like, come to broward, come
to west palm, we're like forwhat, we have everything and
more down here in miami, likeyou guys come down here so um
but no.
Once I got into the countrything I realized it was a really
big community and a very likelike loyal, like yes yeah, I met

(10:20):
.
I met the first time I went tothe Chili Cook-Off.
I met a listener who hadtattooed the logo on him, the
Kiss Country logo.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
The radio station logo.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
The radio station logo on him and when he saw that
I was wearing a Kiss Countryshirt, he literally was like I
love you guys and I was likethis does not happen.
And I was like this does nothappen in like a normal, like
Power 90.
I don't know anybody who has aPower 96 logo or a 99 Jams or a
103.5 the Beat logo.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
And listen.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
there are big stations, I don't think there's
been anybody since, but I don't.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
But that's loyalty.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
That is loyalty, and not only that.
The country scene is very, verysmall, so to get into it you
learn a lot.
I would say if you don't knowcountry and you want to pursue
something, and especially inthis career, if it opens up, go
for it.
It's an eye-opening genre andculture, I think, is culture

(11:25):
period, but that's where Istarted.
I was a producer, a morningshow producer there.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Okay, so we've jumped .
We've jumped.
Now it's Rhythmic, which wasPower, power, a little bit of
everything, and now we're atCountry, which is a big shift,
especially going back to whatyou said, you got to sometimes
be your own.
You gotta be the audience or tobe as relatable as possible.

(11:51):
So if you're at power you grewup in miami that makes a lot of
sense.
You're gonna resonate with thatcrowd.
For you to be able to transitionand do well there, like says a
lot about like who you are as aprofessional thank you yeah, but
let's keep it going, let's keepit going, let's keep it going,
because then after that, likeyour journey doesn't stop there,
like that was just another stopfor you.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
No, not at all.
It doesn't stop there.
After that I actually jumpedover to IR.
I came here to Miami MediaSchool.
I got some credentials.
I was, like I said, doing, butI also wanted to go ahead and
make sure that I stamped it veryHispanic, very if there is not
a title or a diploma to back youup, you know.
So I came here, I did that.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
And then I went to iHeart Shout out to Miami Media
School.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yep Shout out to Miami Media School.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
OK, so iHeart what'd you do.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
So at iHeart I did a lot, lot of things, but I think
that was where I had the mostmost growth, um, because that's
where I got taken out of beingfrom the background into the,
the mic itself, okay.
So all of a sudden I was aco-host, I was the weather, the
official weather anchor personfor all six channels down here,
which, funny enough, is one ofthe things that people know me

(13:09):
the most by before you continue,that was actually something
that uh cassandra, who Iintroduced you to a little while
ago behind the scenes uh, shesaid I like her, like I just
love the way she says her name.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
I was like where that's from, that's like, and
that was your traffic and thatwas your weather yes, carolina
calix, yep there you go there.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
You go there, you go yay so one thing that, uh, that
I think actually opened thedoors for me to continue growing
and for my name to actually berecognized.
I think a lot of us in radiosometimes think that it's just
when you get into the music sideof it.
You think that it's just whenyou get into the music side of
it you know that somebody'sgoing to recognize you.
But actually it's those smallerthings, like the weather, like

(13:51):
the traffic, putting your owntwist to it, that sometimes
really resonate with people.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Yes, because I remember being told that it was
like a dead end.
Like people like told me thatthat aspect of what we do
becomes like a dead end and nota lot of people make it out.
But I dove to one particular.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
You're one of them I think it's how you look at it
yeah, I would say.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
I would say it's definitely based on perspective,
but that was one of thoseperspectives One hundred percent
.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
I also never sounded like your normal weather person.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
No, for sure.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
Traffic person.
I sounded like this.
So I was never like, and todayit's going to be 89 outside and
you're going to take an umbrella, and I'd be like, no, grab your
umbrella, because it's going torain outside, you might need
your weather boots, and then, ontop of that, grab a tank top
because it's going to be hotwhen it stops raining.
And that's kind of how I kindof just approached it and it

(14:49):
molded my voice.
It molded me to understand that, yes, many people could do this
job, but not many people soundlike me.
And I think I'm very gratefulfor that stage of my career and
that's why I say iHeart gave mea lot of opportunity to grow and
understand myself and tonurture my talent and to work

(15:14):
with great people.
Because not only that, but youknow, I got to produce for
Enrique Santos, I got to producefor Elvis Duran and the Morning
Show, and then I also got to beco-host for the night shows for
Y100.
I was literally the firstLatina on there and I'll take
that back Not the first Latinaper se with the roots, but the

(15:37):
first Latina to not be afraid tosound like I did, like I wasn't
trying to be Americanized, andthey let me play that line very
well, because I did Y100 and Idid Tu no Entay Cuatro Nueve, so
I was a nice marriage in me ofwhat those top 40 stations in

(15:57):
Spanish and English were andthat just helped again.
That helped me with continuingto embrace my sound to which,
again, is like more proof oflike.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
It's almost like a chameleon, if you will with it,
because I think, I think it'shard for a lot of people.
You, you're being told in radiothat you want to like, be
yourself.
And if yourself, is this bornand raised in a county of day,
latina, like?
How do you project that on acountry station?

(16:29):
How do you get that across toan audience that's like maybe
predominantly urban or theopposite thereof, like top 40
type of stations where they'renot totally used to that yet?
But you were able to manage.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
I was able to manage and I also was able to realize
that being part of a personalityis understanding that you're
not everybody's cup of tea.
Right.
So, while some people feltreally well represented, there
was other people that were like,oh my God, she's watering down.
Well, this is so house tubby.
And I was just like, no, no,I'm just reflective of what our

(17:07):
community is to whoever's cup oftea.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
You were not, may you .
May you be those other people'scup of wine then?
Yes, exactly now fast forward alittle bit, because you
obviously kept it moving.
Yeah, it's good it's good.
It's good like I am gettingthat honeysuckle.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Yeah no, but it's not overwhelming.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
It's like not sweet, it's not super sweet.
That's why I like their Moscato.
I was like, okay, like, this isnot how Moscato tasted once
upon a time.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
No, it's not shutter home for sure.
Shout out to shutter home.
We love you.
Yeah, there's nothing wrongwith that Nothing wrong with it,
but just definitely not thatone.
No, but I feel that.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
I feel that I remember it being almost like a
headache.
It's because we drank a lot ofit, but who knows?
Then we met each other again.
Then we met each other again,yes, at HITS.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
At HITS 97.3.
That was fun.
Cox Media that was fun.
A shout out to Cox Media.
That was fun.
A shout out to Cox Media Group.
They have a couple of CoxMedias around the nation and

(18:19):
that was a fun journey.
I think that journey taught methe value of what I bring to the
table.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Okay, I'm glad you got it.
It's like you almost gatheredyour thoughts there a little bit
.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
Yes, but that journey also got me to expand out of
South Florida.
It gave me the opportunity tobroadcast in Tampa and Orlando.
So I moved up from just being aSouth Florida personality to a
half a Florida personality.
We're moving on up, we'removing on up.
So I was hitting threedifferent markets, which was a

(18:54):
great opportunity.
I also think they're great atbuilding the brands and
understanding who they are withthat, to monetize that without
being attached to a name likecox media, like iheart, like you
know.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Um, they're very much on brand when it comes to their
brands.
Yeah, especially yeah, becausethen you start thinking about
some of the other, some of theother um brands that have either
come out of the sister stationsor are in that building at the
moment.
So you're talking about theactual talent, you're talking

(19:33):
about the talent brands.
I thought you were referring tothe brands of the stations.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
Well, no, the brands of the stations they have.
Heritage Station.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
They have 99 Jam.
That's what I was trying to say.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
They have Hot 105.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Big stations, big stations, huge stations, but
within those brands they alsoheritage station.
Yes, that's what I was tryingto say.
They have hot 105.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
yeah, big stations, big stations huge, but within
those brands they also havepowerful personal moves, as
which I think um to a certainextent.
I'm not sure if the word isunmatched, but I will say a lot
of people that have Cox Mediaand their resume are very

(20:06):
resilient and they know exactlywhere they want to take.
There's that word again.
There's that wording it makessense so that that was an
interesting one.
I uh, I appreciate thatbuilding a lot okay, and again,
it didn't stop there.
No, it kept going.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
It kept going, thank God.
So tell me about where you'reat now.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
So now I am on SiriusXM, a nationwide platform
that just literally moved downhere into Miami in May, so we're
about to have a year.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
It's going to be a year now.
Yeah, geez, feel like you'vebeen doing that for a long time
already.
It's about to be a year now.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
Yeah, geez, feel like you've been doing that for a
long time already.
It's about to be a year, I knowit's just been so much growth,
thankfully.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
I'm very happy where I'm at and, honestly, it's a
very big blessing because I feellike a lot of people tend to
have to move to achieve what Ihave and I thank God every day
that for me.
It came to me.
Serious XM came to Miami.
I didn't have to go to New York, I didn't have to go to any

(21:10):
other hubs.
They came here to make a homeand I was a part of their
launching and a part of theirlaunching of a new station, a
bilingual station that plays Top40 Spanish and English,
trending viral, which again,it's, like you say, the marriage
of the things that I've beendoing and it seems like the

(21:33):
whole thing of when you lookback, you kind of understand
your story more and I'm like,wow, everything that I've been
fighting for and who I am, andsticking to the guns of how I
sound and sticking to all ofthat, god had a plan and I mean,
at least till now, I could seethat and and and I'm very happy

(21:53):
to be a part of that and to bein the forefront of that, you
know yeah, if that's notsomething worth drinking.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
So I'm not sure what is.
I'm not sure, cheers cheers torepresent that yeah out of all
those places you hit, which onewould you say has most, has had
the biggest impact on yourcareer?

Speaker 3 (22:17):
I heart.
I heart because we have afavorite folks no, well, I mean
I know all of the places I'vebeen everybody no, you know why
is just continuously.
It's not even a me thing, it'sjust by senses of the people

(22:37):
that have grown with me over thepast.
I've known you, by the way, for13 years I think you've been
keeping count.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
That's so cute.
Shut up, you know, because I'veknown you, by the way, for 13
years, I think you've beenkeeping count of so cute shut up
.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
You know, because I've known him for as long as
I've been in this career.
We started off basically at thesame time, um so, but but every
time that I continue to grow,the funniest thing and to me
it's it's, it's always ablessing, whenever I'm like oh
yeah, no, carolina Calix, niceto meet you.
And they're like oh my God, areyou, carolina Calix, con tu

(23:08):
tiempo?
So that's why I'm like that, inmy wildest thoughts, thought
that that was gonna be such apinned down moment of to who I
became and how I was recognized.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Um, so I think that's , that's, that's why I heart was
such a big moment to which,unless there's like copyright
issues going on there, like youshould definitely like bring
that back, even if it's just onsocial media and I don't know.
I don't know, that was justlike a light bulb that went off.
I'm just throwing that one outthere I think it was just um.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
All the right energies at the right time.
That's awesome.
We were launching a new stationand, um you know, I was a part
of it.
I was very passionate about itand, aside from that, I also
think I had a great mentorshipand I heart, you know, um,
people like elvis and enriqueare not people that you normally
just connect with yeah and sobeing able to learn underneath

(24:14):
them and see such strongindividuals do what they do in
different languages helped mealso kind of like hone that in,
you know, because Elvis hasnever been afraid to be himself.
We hear him all the time.
He's been on the radio for Godknows how long.
You know For real Elvis Duranyeah, a nationwide platform.

(24:38):
Enrique, the same thing.
And Enrique is very Latin andproud, very Cuban and proud,
very American as well and proud,and he was never afraid to
showcase that.
So having those two strongpersonalities and their teams
open their arms to me at thatpivotal point of my career, I

(25:00):
think was beautiful all right,let's uh, let's jump into our
next one.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
This is a gerard bertrade coat de rose sauvignon
blanc.
Sauvignon blanc which, if I'mnot mistaken, is your favorite
kind of wine yeah, it isactually now.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
now at the beginning it was first in Scott, you know.
But now, after so many years ofwinasaurus, that part,
winasauring that part, okay.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
So this one's from south of France.
What we're looking for here isa little bit of citrus fruit
aromas.
Again, we got some guava, butwe have a little bit of passion
fruit this time.
So it's fruity, it's fruity,it's fruity and it's served
chilled.
Now, and I got to point out,this one has won an award Wine
Enthusiast 93 rating.

(25:48):
So don't ever say that in.
You know, okay, you know nicethings, nice fancy things.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
You know what Cheers.
Let's see.
Let's see if it's all crackedup to be.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
It just smells like food, it smells like something.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
I will say, especially after a bastado, this
one is a lot like stronger, alot more full, a lot more full.
It's dry yeah it is.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
It's lot more cool, a lot more cool.
It's dry.
Yeah, it is, it's pretty dryhere.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
It is, it is.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yet I picture it.
I picture it like on a sunnyday, as long as it's chilled.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
In France.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
In France.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
In a wine yard, in a vineyard.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
So we've talked about this prolific career that
you're still working on, right.
So this next question that Ihave for you is a little bit of
a pivot to.
I want to get a little ruseswith you.
That's it.
It's a two part, to which Ithink that the second part,
we're going to talk a little bitabout how women have figured it

(26:59):
out.
Don't quote me, but there'sstats out there and I mean it's
been, it's been around for along time like this is an
unknown fact.
Um, that the gender pay gap isreal.
Yeah, as a matter of fact, themost recent stats state that 40
percent of women are stillmaking less than 60 percent of

(27:22):
men oh 100 based on median.
Now, I'm aware of this.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
Not only that, to go on with the stats I think in
radio is probably more amplifiedbecause, like the ratio of men
towards women in radio, very bigand especially the ratio of uh
women that hold the first mic,as we call it, that are the main

(27:49):
hosts to the show, versus themen hold on, hold on very big,
let me.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Let me get the question out there, because I
know you got a lot to say withit.
But uh, like I want to at leastget my two cents along with it.
But before that, like the otherstats go on to say that for
every dollar that a man makes,women are making like about 80
cents.
So that's just.
There's a difference.
You start to get into it andthen you know the stats go on.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
Of course, that's not including race, that's not
including all of these otherthings for me and I'm not paying
attention to stats.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
I'm not like looking at it as a nationwide thing.
I've only ever like surroundedmyself with what I'm in close
proximity with, which doesn'tmean I'm like oblivious to
what's known.
It just means that I see theworld for how it is based on,
like what I'm doing at thecurrent moment, and I treat
everybody as equal.
In the career we've been in,I've actually seen women like

(28:44):
kick ass.
Yeah, I've seen them kick ass.
I've seen women be uhappreciated and and hired and go
on.
So you have great success basedon their qualifications, not on
their gender I think that isthe most recent thing.
I want to say a more recentthing, um and maybe I think it
has a lot to do with the factthat, like I per se like me

(29:06):
again personally, on a personalstandpoint like I try to
surround myself with, like ifI'm the smartest person in that
room, I don't want to be in thatroom.
So I'm trying to be in roomswhere I see, like other people,
like go-getters, like highlyintellectual people that are
doing things.
So that's kind of been like thewomen that I've seen, but it
doesn't escape the realitiesthat I know that it exists.

(29:27):
So for you, like, how do youinterpret it?
Like what, what?
What has your experience beenwhen it comes to the gender pay
gap?

Speaker 3 (29:37):
I'm like big, big.
I remember one of the companiesthat I worked for and I'm not
going to single it out.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
But one of the companies that I worked for, me
and another guy had the sameposition, more or less the same
job, the same position, more orless the same job, but as far as
the knowledge that we knew, Iknew a lot more than him and
this wasn't a like.
This isn't me tooting my hornlike legit this person.

(30:10):
I remember he was leaving at anew position somewhere else and
we had that forbiddenconversation how much do you get
paid?
oh snap okay and I actuallydidn't bring it up.
He bought it up and I told himand he's like what I get paid so

(30:35):
and so?
And I was like what?
And he's like, yes, and itshocked me so much because the
skill set and the versatilitythat I had versus his was there,
it was like he knew it, I knewit.

(30:55):
When he left, he was like, yeah, no, I asked you this because I
need you to understand yourvalue and need you to understand
that if they're paying me thismuch, you need to be getting
paid a lot more.
And that person left andencouraged me, um, to go to my
management and ask for thatraise.
And I did.

(31:17):
Now I don't know if I got.
I would say I got more or less,I think a little bit over what
he was getting paid, but I don'tknow if I would have gotten
more if I was him.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Same position, same position.
And then obviously, the skillset was a major difference,
based on what you're saying Iwill say I had more opportunity.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
I think it.
I opened more doors because ofmy skill set, even though the
pay wasn't there, which was veryass backwards, if you ask me
because you feel it should bethe other way around if your
skill set is there to match, whynot pay it?
And then open the the doors.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
You get what I'm trying to tell you and then just
based off the scenario, likethis person had like the same
years of experience like morelike no, I think they actually
had less.
Okay, they had a little bitless, so that then there's
that's where that like thatissue is like still alive and
going, because it will besomething to be said if maybe

(32:22):
you're like your skill setsupersedes them, but they had
like some kind of tenure.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
No, they actually came in a little later than me.
Wow, they did do a morning show, but I had also done a morning
show before that.
It was an interesting I wouldsay it was an interesting
situation.
I'm very appreciative for thisfriend because we're still
friends that he took the time toeven ask me that.

(32:53):
I think a lot of men tend totry to be friends to the women
they work with.
Especially when they see thereis talent, they try to root
behind them.
So I was very happy that beforehe left, he decided to step
back and not only be a co-workerbut be a friend, um, and tell

(33:17):
me that, hey, like you deservemore, you know, and I think hats
off to him for having thecojones shout out to our mystery
guy yes, uh, which you know himtoo.
Uh, he is a great person, uh,but that.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
I concur Only because if I know people, I have to be
there, but that was aneye-opening moment.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
I think society also doesn't teach women too much to
ask for more as far as pay,because we do know that those
things underlie in it you.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
No, yeah, I, I think that there's a, there's a lot of
that, but that go, I feel likethat goes around like transcends
industries, sometimes mighteven transcend sex, but then I
think we're getting off liketopic.
But, yeah, like, I think, forme, again, it should be based on
your qualifications, it should,but that's just not how the

(34:21):
world works, apparently, towhich I say this is why, like, I
think that this part, go aheadand grab that glass of wine,
because I feel like it's goingto get a little spicy.
Like I think, for me, this iswhere you guys get back at the
world.
And I say it like that becauseI've kind of noticed the trend
here.
But to continue with stats,miami is now being considered

(34:47):
the capital of OnlyFans.
The OnlyFans capital of theworld.
The most subscribers is here,like the most subscribers is
here to which there's a bignumber in more women being on
OnlyFans than there are to men.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
I think women are starting to tap into our
understanding of our youth andunderstanding of how to use that
.
Yeah, I really do think that.
I do think that it's a greatline there.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Super, super, because I feel like it's upsetting
people.
Yes, you're barking up the treeof doing some debaucherous
stuff, depending on what you'redoing there.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
Exactly because it depends what you do.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
Yeah, but this is where things that I've noticed
that have been kind ofinteresting.
I've paid attention to certainmen and how they talk about
women making money on holdingfans, because you?

Speaker 3 (35:53):
guys are making money .
Oh my God, they're making money.
Listen, I don't do it.
Listen, they're making money.
I don't do it, bank, but I havefriends.
I have many friends.
Yeah.
Some that do some real risquethings.
To others that really are justhustling their intellect on
there.
To others that don't even showtheir face and they're showing

(36:15):
their free honey and they'regetting paid.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Sounds strange for a piece of change.
Uh yeah, why are guys gettingmad?
at women that are making moneyon there.
Like what's up with that I've?
I don't understand that.
Like flipping the table.
That's what it is.
It has to be, has to be.
You know what drives me crazy?
The way that it's beenexpressed to me.
If I started an OnlyFans rightnow, I'm not going to make any
money.
A girl can start an OnlyFans.

(36:45):
She's going to make some moneyright now.
But why are you mad at that dog?
What?
So what?
Let her get hers.
I'm not telling you.
That's the person you want togo and take a serious
relationship with.
Don't take the leap.
And why not, though?
Hey, to each his own when itcomes to certain aspects.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
I wouldn't say that that's any qualification that
takes away or hinders from no,but I will say that's a
double-edged sword to whatOnlyFans is, because I think to
a certain extent, since it iskind of based on beauty, and
stuff like that.
There is somewhat of a timelimit, and right now what we're

(37:22):
not seeing is what will be onthe other side of that the
consequences.
Exactly Because even a lot ofthese influencers that have made
a very big not only fans I'mtalking about, like Instagram,
youtube, doing like these planks, doing these things there is a
full documentary actually on Idon't know if it's Netflix or

(37:43):
Prime, one of these places thatthey have said that being that
influencer has affected themgetting a job within the
business.
A lot of these influencersmight want to be actors, but
because they have that one videothat went viral of them doing
something stupid, when they gointo these calls to do it, it's

(38:07):
like automatically they're likeoh, you're that girl that meh,
we're not interested.
Or you're that guy meh we'renot interested.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
So it's not even like taken away from possible
relationships which to me, to me, I feel like there's somebody
out there for everybody, butit's also affecting them, like
long term well, because, at theend of the day, I think the
world that we live in, corporate, still wants to maintain a
certain, uh, business-likeatmosphere for themselves.

(38:35):
If you're a creator, create.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
Yeah, freaking, create, create, create.
But you also got to know thatthere could be some backlash.
I mean, just like me, I talkthis way and I am the Miami
mommy, and I say that becausethat's literally on Hits Uno I
became the person, therepresentation, the female that
represents South Florida, that Ibecame the person, the
representation, the female thatrepresents south florida, that

(39:00):
it's the miami latina.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
Um it's like way too hard.
To our next thing but, but.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
But with that, you know, just like everything else
in the world, not all companiesmight want to partner up with
your brand, and I think that'swhere that double-edged sword of
being a content creator is, andI think I mean, if you're a
content creator watching this, Ithink maybe always try to keep
that in the front of your mindwho are the companies that you

(39:29):
might want to collaborate with,because not all of them are for
you.
No what Just like, not allpeople are for you.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
Yeah, no for sure.
Like, don't be thirsty aboutlike these collaborations and
opportunities.
I would say, like build on whatyou are strongest at and then
from there figure out what likeways to grow.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
But like, no, and the more people are growing
nowadays they're growing on ononline they're growing in front
of a camera and I think, um,that's a, that's a great thing
that at least we were born inthat golden era that we got to
experience.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
It's literally like ours for the take.
Yeah, it's ours for the take,all right, so yeah, just all the
fans make your money, invest itright.

Speaker 3 (40:15):
I'm just saying that's what I'm saying I'm
raised by women.

Speaker 1 (40:17):
I freaking love women .
I'm not mad at y'all Like getyour money.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
No, I definitely think that you should just make
sure that when you're ranking inthe big bucks, you're smart
about it, don't just like spendit because you don't know what
that next step might be.
You don't know, and beauty isfading, you know.
So you want to set yourself upfor the next stage of your life.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
Speaking of the next stages.
Our next wine is coming upright now Las Due.

Speaker 3 (40:43):
I do like this one.
Damn, you're already halfway.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
I'm like oh, by the way, like you beat me to the
first cup, by the way, Like Iwas like there, like sipping it,
and then the next thing I knowis that yours was empty.
I was like, oh snap, let mecatch up.

Speaker 3 (40:56):
Oh, my God, Okay, hold on.
Cheers to the little bit, lastlittle bit.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
All right, so for our next wine, you, there's a table
here, folks Like the wine isn'tjust being magically like
grabbed, so check this out.
You are looking at a Doña PaulaEstate Malbec.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
Malbec.
Is it Melbec or Malbec?

Speaker 1 (41:23):
I think that's open up to Malbec, wherever you might
be.
In the case of this wine, itcomes from the region of
argentina, 91 points best ofargentina wine.
With this one you're gonna geta little bit of concentration
and medium structure, but it'slike still like, like soft and

(41:44):
so I will say, as of lately, Iam more of a white wine type of
person, of course, because thisis miami is freaking hot well,
no, not only that, I don't knowwhat, like I've heard right, I
don't think this is a myth, butI've heard red wine tastes uh,
tends to stain the teeth.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
Yeah, so I I'm not, you know a bit like that.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
The same way with coffee, which funny like it's
that's the thing I'm a coffeedrinker.
You're a coffee drinker, soyou're already like losing that
battle, like in that sense, solike, why not drink some red
wine?
I actually had like a timewhere, because of that, I was
can't believe I was saying this.
I was sipping my wine through astraw.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
Yay, by the way, that gets you drunker quicker.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
No way.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
Yes, I promise Really .
Yes, there's some type ofscience behind that.
That would make sense.
That would make sense.
Yeah, like what's with thiswine?
If you're a person that's outthere and you're like you know
about this, let us know if thisis truth.
But I have heard if you sip itthrough a straw, somehow it just
gets you drunker quicker.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
Those were wild times for me.
It's all coming full circle.
All right, let's take it.
Let's see like a little swirl.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
Where's your swirl game at?
Okay, that's getting a littletoo much.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
That's because you added some wine before.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
And it's also a smaller cup.
You're supposed to do a swirlin kind of a bigger so it can
air it out.
There's not enough air intothis cup here.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
cheers if you know, if you notice, with what we did
here, you guys got on.
Imagine that like maybe youwill, you got this whole little
leg action going on, and thereason for that they say the
slower and the thicker the legsit's a higher concentration of
alcohol and glycerol, which isused as a sweetening agent as

(43:31):
well as in universal cleaningagents, which is very odd.

Speaker 3 (43:36):
This is cleaning our souls.
Cheers to that.
This is interesting.
This is just.
I'm not a red person.
I like the salveon a little bitbetter.
But I will say this malbec is,um, I would not mind this with a
steak or like some pastaabsolutely pairs really well

(43:56):
with some steak.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
But I am getting those hints, that like, because
it says that you should becatching, like some black fruit,
like so blackberries and yeah,it's not bitter, it's like it's
nice it's not bitter, so likethat that that word I used
earlier.
Tannins, which I'm sure I'mgonna mention this on this
episode as well as some others,is basically the acidity from

(44:19):
the skin of the grape, and thethicker the skin, the more
acidic or the stronger thetannins is.
In this case, like you're notgetting that it's not it flows.
It's still bold.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
It's definitely a bold wine but I will say I think
the one that we had prior is alittle bit more better than this
one, which I'm surprised.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
The sauvignon blanc was just a little tight.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it wasdefinitely I felt.
I felt like the dryness sothat's.
That's that's why we're doingthis, folks.
Like every wine has a differentstory to tell, and like a
different flavor, and like it'sjust.

Speaker 3 (44:52):
Doña Paola knew her red wines for sure.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
So Miami, Mommy.

Speaker 3 (45:00):

One way it was cool because youwere talking to a guy who's
been like in decades, like justtransitioning and keeping up
with the times and at thatparticular time he was talking

(49:19):
about how I'm so used to, or mybrand is is, you know, going to
these other cities, like out oftown, and like doing these shows
, like at the bahamas and thingsof that nature.
But then he was kind of like doI really want to do like the

route.
And to see him now like thatwas like a few years ago, to see
him now like he's first of allget the bag, second of all, like

Whoa, so welcome to the nightjar.
You've made it this far.
That is insane.
Before we get into you, let'stalk about this wine right here.

(53:37):
So I just told you it's fromCali.
All the aromas of blueberry andblack cherry are there.
I smelled that as I swirled it.
That's really strong.
That strong, robust body thatyou're tasting is because this
night jar is made with brandy.
That's what I take and it'shigher in alcohol level.

Speaker 3 (53:59):
Oh, you could taste the brandy.
That sounds like what is goingon.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
Wow, good stuff, good stuff, good stuff.

Speaker 3 (54:06):
In other words, you should definitely drink that
slow.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
Okay, we got it All right, so wrapping this up.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
Good stuff, good stuff.
In other words, you shoulddefinitely drink that slow, okay
we got it All right.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
So, wrapping this up, tell me what's next for
Carolina Cali.
What big projects are youworking on?

Speaker 3 (54:20):
Well, I mean right now, thankfully, I keep growing
in SiriusXM.
So I'm on Hits 1, which is atop 40 American station, all
English, the biggest station andthe first station that SiriusXM
has, channel 2.
So I'm doing that andthankfully, kind of falling back
into bridging the gap betweenyou know the cultures of being a

(54:43):
Latina and being American,being born and raised here and
how kind of bad is a marriage,and people who have the same
type of story that I have, andI'm just proud of that and just
keep growing.
Now you can Google me, which iscrazy to say.

(55:03):
You can Google me and nothing.
Just keep growing, kind offinding more ways to give back
to the community, even thoughI'm in a national platform now.
I've always been very involvedin the local aspect of it, but
now I'm just elevating that tothe national.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
Which I mean, man, if that doesn't speak freaking
growth.
You think about like radio as awhole.
You think about like radio as awhole and I think a lot of it
was like like just that, thatcommunity aspect that gravitated
me like to radio and for you tostill like embody that, but now
you're taking that onto thenational stage like that's.
That's a game changer, that's,that's good for the brand,

(55:43):
that's good for miami.
