Appropriately Awkward with Mike Garcia

Send us a text

This week I’m playing for you an episode from another podcast i think you’d really like. The show is called You’re on Mute with Aisha, I had the opportunity to be interviewed by my friend and fellow content creator Aisha smith.  In her words, Aisha was born at home in upstate New York in a very small town.  She recently learned that the town got its first stop light and has yet to see it in person. As Aisha proclaims, her father dropped her immediately after she was born, and this has resulted in many jokes throughout her life. Aisha laughs easily and cries to infrequently, in her opinion.  She is a self-described intuitive empathic, which she says is exhausting and, also the greatest gift in her life. She loves connecting with others and hearing each person’s journey. This is where I come into the picture, I met Aisha through a mutual friend, Alina, the three of us had breakfast on sunny May morning a spot that served bread and coffee.  After having some great bread and conversation, as Aisha describes it, we took an appropriately awkward photo, Aisha asked if she could interview me for her show, I agreed, and this collaborative was formed. I call it the Red Thunder, White Lightning Podcast collective. It Just a fancy way of saying three friends meeting together on a monthly basis to have breakfast and discuss ways to promote our platforms.  This episode was released in July and according to Aisha was her highest downloaded episode to date.  Among podcast content creator,  it is common to do episode swaps. I plan on returning the favor and interviewing Aisha and Alina for an episode titled, "From the outside looking in." A perspective of life on the rez from a different angle.  I highly recommend you listen to You’re on Mute with Aisha, where each month Aisha is honored to have a new co-creator, share their stories, honest vibes, and lenses through unscripted dialogue and letters.  The topics are as varied as we are as human. Aisha’s focus is always empathy, growth, relationship, equity, anti-racism, humanity and how we can do better.  Below, I posted a link to her show, or you can find her show on all major podcast platforms. So, stir the beans, flip the tortillas, sit back relax and enjoy the show.
