Let's Talk the Tings podcast, wherewe discuss personal growth, travel, music
and wellness while encouraging you to livefearlessly and fabulously. I am your host,

(02:02):
Ash, and this week we aretalking the things with video producer and
creative Braxton par Hi Braxton, howare you? Hello? Hello? What's
up? Ash? Thank you forhaving me on, of course, thank
you so much for being here.And so the first part of the show,

(02:22):
I like to break the ice witha segment that I call datna sound
safe? And the Jamaican translation forthat is that does not sound safe.
But in this case, you're basicallygonna respond by either saying that no sounds
safe if you want to try topatua, or you can say you know,
that doesn't sound like a good idea, or I agree or I disagree

(02:44):
however you want to phrase it.But essentially, if you think something sounds
crazy or a bit concerning, that'show you would respond. So it's either
datna sound safe or you agree ordisagree with the person and then explain why
does that make sense? Yes itdoes. Okay, Yeah, I love
that. Thank you, thank youvery much. What do I say if

(03:06):
it is safe? If it issafe, you can say that sound safe
again if you want to try thepatois, or you can say you agree
okay, depending how you're feeling,you know, if you're feeling a little
jemmy can feeling like a little pieceof jerk chicken, you can't say that,
or you can just say you agreeor disagree. Okay, all right,
get it? Okay, So thefirst one. One thing I hate

(03:30):
more than a liar is a liarthat thinks I'm dumb. Oh that now
soun safe? Nice. That wholephrase is just too ambiguous. It's just
the fact that it has to makeme think twice, you know, like
a liar, and it just soundslike, you know, it just sounds

(03:53):
a little too convoluted, where I'mjust like, you know what, I
don't even want it in my life, right, And I think for me,
you know, it's it's so offensivefor someone to insult my intelligence.
Right, So it's like right,I guess it also depends on the lie,
Like is the lie something that's veryobvious, like for example, if
I saw you at the supermarket andwe made eye contact and then you tell

(04:15):
me I wasn't at the supermarkets.I was at pilates and it's like,
but I saw you like with myeyes. And I remember reading I remember
reading something once that somebody was saying. It was like a joke, but
somebody was saying, when a guyis trying to convince you after like cheating
or something, he'll say, whoare you gonna believe your eyes are me?

(04:39):
That's what I think this person istalking about in that context, Like
one, don't lie to me,but like if you're gonna lie to me
and you're gonna insult my intelligence,that's like a double negative. No for
sure. Yeah, just the wordlie liars just does not agree with me
so automatically any type of liars asa no. Amen to that, Yes,

(04:59):
no to that. Okay, thenext one. Somebody said, have
you noticed that being too friendly invitesa lot of disrespect? I said,
yeah, that's the I honestly,I think that's something for me. I'm
pretty outgoing, I'm pretty kind,but I think people have a way of
just taking advantage of kindness. Andit's something where you know, all throughout

(05:24):
different phases of my life. Ihave to kind of grow tougher skin and
you know, be mindful of whoI'm giving that energy to because people will
definitely take that for granted. Yes, yes, definitely, definitely. And
we talk a lot about we talkabout discernment a lot on this podcast and
it just being so important. Youknow, a lot of times just with

(05:47):
being kind or being a good person, it's really difficult to figure out like
who deserves that kindness, right,because if that's who you are by nature,
which is what you're saying, it'snot really in your d to not
be kind. But you do haveto still use discernment because of what you
just said. Absolutely absolutely. Andthe thing is too, it's just you

(06:11):
know, it gets to a pointwhen you're kind so often, then you
start getting that reputation where everybody startsto see that yeah, and it becomes
it just starts to spread like wildfire, and then you're kind of left in
a position where everybody's trying to getover on you, and you don't want
to be that person, so youhave to you have to know your boundaries.
I think that's the biggest thing whenit comes to being kind. Definitely,

(06:31):
definitely boundaries and discernment. I supportthat absolute absolutely. Okay. The
next one, someone said, Idon't like going outside. I like going
out of town. That downs sosafe. I love to travel. I
literally that's one of my favorite things. At the beginning of this year,

(06:51):
I actually went to Japan and thatyes, and it's way safer than what
it is out here, and youknow, United States, I'll say literally,
there was a guy. The onlycrime that actually happened was it was
aired on the news and this guywas basically giving kids, not kids,

(07:12):
but people under the age of eighteenor eighteen, giving them alcohol. And
they literally have a video of theguy being handcuffed taken out of his home.
And I'm just like, of allthings, like like, yes,
that's not right, but like that'swhat you guys are. Eric. That's
the cut that goes to show youthey don't joke over there. No,
no, no, but really thattoo, that too, but their crime

(07:36):
is non existence. So that soundssafe to me. I love going out
of town, No, definitely,and Japan is on my list of places,
so that sounds amazing. I'm sureyou had a great time, Oh
absolutely. It was a beautiful,beautiful place, great food, great people.
Oh wow wow wow wah. Soundsfabulous. Okay, so three more.

(07:58):
The next one said, the courageit takes to leave behind what's not
for you anymore is the same couragethat will help you find your way to
what is mm. That soundsafe.Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you about
at least trying. So I giveyou ten points for trying. I'll take

(08:22):
it. No, but I hardlyagree with that. Yeah, having courage
in any type of positive way,it always can lead you in the right
direction because you know you're stepping outof your comfort zone. And again it's
set in that boundary and looking outfor yourself. So yeah, that definitely

(08:43):
sounds safe. Nice, nice,Okay, two more. Let's see here.
I don't take advice from people whosettled in life. Mmmm. That
sounds safe. Yeah, yeah.I that's the thing about myself. I
consider myself a perfectionist. I donot like to settle by any means,

(09:05):
right, just because you know,once you put let's say, like for
what I do for a letting withvideo. If you settle on a video
and you post it to social media, that's it. No take back seats,
you know what I mean. Yeah, it's out there, out there,
yeah, so I don't necessarily liketaking advice from people that settle,

(09:26):
but I always push myself to tryto strive for more. So I love
that. I love that. That'sgreat. Okay, and the last one,
let's see, let's make it agood one. Hmm. Okay,

(09:46):
forgive yourself for all of the relationshipsand friendships you settled for when you weren't
in your power. That not soundsset Yeah, well it's you know,
I don't hold any grudges stories anybody, and like, you know, everything

(10:07):
that happened was supposed to happen,but it's it's never that for me.
It's never that deep to rekindle oryou know, past relationships or things.
Yeah, but it depends on ifyou're speaking with relationships, if you're talking
about romantic or or if you're talkingabout friendship. Well both, So what

(10:28):
the person said was for when yousettled in relationships or like romantic relationships or
friendships. So for example, whatI take from it is, maybe you
had a friend that you knew didn'treally care for you, like probably wasn't
the best friend, maybe only usedyou for certain things. Maybe if you
went to events and how to passor something like that so you knew they

(10:50):
weren't really your friend, but you, in your kindness, like you spoke
about before, probably didn't want tohurt their feelings. So you kind of
just you know, settled for beingtheir quote unquote friend when you knew you
weren't being treated like how you deserved. Yeah, well that's a that's a
that's the thing. Maybe I doforgive then because I don't. I really

(11:11):
don't hold grudges against people. It'slike one of those things is like I
that like I understand how you roll. Now now I got to carry myself
differently, so so I'm kind oflike in the middle there. It's like
yeah, like like I can forgive, but I don't forget, you know,
it's you know what I mean.So it's something where it's you know,

(11:35):
again, I set that boundary withmyself and you know, I mean,
I mean anyone who if I've experiencedwithin this life, I mean them,
well, I just know that forthe sake of my mental health and
just just being able to push forward, I just you know, I just
change. I just changed, uhdirections. I just keep going straight and
do my own thing. Yeah.No, that's you know, it's it's

(11:56):
like you said, you it's importantto forgive or yourself, but you can't
forget, no, for sure,right, Like that's if you forget or
if you don't learn the lesson,then it's like defeating the purpose. Because
I believe that everything happens for areason, and you know, things are
lessons in life. I don't thinkthere's ever any real loss, right because

(12:22):
everything is there to teach you something, and even if at the time it's
so bad and like you don't understandwhy it's happening, because we've all been
there, you know, in lifein general, if you look down the
line at think, if you lookin the past, I'm sorry at things
that you thought were so bad anddidn't understand, you probably understand it more
now. Doesn't mean you're glad aboutit's right, but at least you now

(12:45):
have hindsight, because hindsight is twentytwenty that you can say like, wow,
I see why that had to happen, or I see why that friend
had to betray me or that exhad to betray me, because you had
to get to where you are now, and you wouldn't have gotten there if
you were still stuck in the Thosethings are with those people, you know,
absolutely, Yeah, absolutely, soI think, yeah that I could
see that one is kind of inthe middle. It kind of song and

(13:07):
a safe but it's kind of asong too safe. Exactly exactly exactly,
That's what I was kind of like, yeah, like yeah, but no,
but yeah you're like, yeah,but no, but not really but
kind of exactly kind of exactly.It sounds like it's just in the middle.
Okay, nice, Well that wasfun. That's usually everyone's favorite part.

(13:31):
Yeah, that was that. Ilove that. That was very had
me have to think out the boxfor a second. Okay, so let's
really talk the things now. Soyou are a video producer and you're a
creative. Is that something that youwere interested in, like from you were
a child or is that something thatas you became an adult it's something that

(13:54):
you kind of got into. Yeah, so I got into video around the
a seven years old. The bigthing that really inspired me was probably my
dad, because he himself is inthe entertainment industry and with music and radio
and things like that, and itreally piqued my interest because because when I

(14:16):
started being a creative, I startedto play the piano and then from there
I was thinking I need some musicbefore my videos, and I started.
I had at my first camera wasthis camera called the Digital Blue Camera,
and I would make videos with mypet lizard when I was I was I

(14:41):
was like from like seven eight ish, that type of age there at that
point, and I would shoot theselittle short films and then I would play
the music in the in the backgroundand never going to forget. It was
called Bojangle's Burning Fear. I know, it's really good fe I know my

(15:03):
Listard was both Jangles and the storyplot was crazy. But other than that,
that ignited my passion for video andeven for music. And the big
thing for me is just kind ofgetting growing up. I was thinking that
video would never make me money.Music won't make me money, and I

(15:24):
you know, started to falter ifthat's what I really wanted to do.
I went to Howard University and Iactually studied legal communications, which is law,
and I'm minored in film. Butit wasn't like law school. It
was pre law in a way,and right so upon leaving Howard, I

(15:46):
was thinking, Okay, maybe Ijust go to law school now, studying
for the LSAT and everything. Butthen I got offered a job and video,
and I was like, wow,this I didn't expect for this to
happen, so it kind of changedmy trajectory and from there I just ended
up doing video full time. Wow. Wow, that's amazing. So you
mentioned music. Is that something thatyou picked up yourself or is that something

(16:11):
you kind of acquired a love forfrom watching your dad because you said your
dad is in that business as well. Yes he is. He's he's really
into the music industry. I'm notsure if you're familiar. His name is
Russ Parr. He's a radio person. Your dad. Yes, yeah,
I should have put that together.My head got you okay, yeah,

(16:37):
yeah, So he was really lockedin and I'd got a lot of inspiration
from him and he, uh,you know, both of my parents thought,
you know, let's get this kidsome piano classes or whatever. And
I I really took from that becauseI feel like music itself. It opened
the gates for me into all creativemediums because it was my gateway to video,

(17:02):
and then from video I started doingphotography. But music was really really
that catalyst. And to this day, I still loved playing the piano.
I can't read notes, I playby ear, but it's something for me
that's has always been therapeutic for meand just keeps me calm and keeps me
creative. So something that I've alwaysloved doing. And just in general,

(17:26):
just about music, what you said, I find that music is such a
universal language. Specifically if we're talkingabout like reggae music, right, Reggae
music is played in places like Japanwhere they sometimes don't even speak English,
but they connect with music, andit's just so amazing to see that music

(17:47):
can bring somebody or bring people togetherthat maybe even don't speak the same language.
So it's definitely very powerful. That'ssuch a unique perspective because it really
does translate everywhere. Just kind ofwhat I mentioned to you earlier. Being
in Japan, my wife and Iwe went to the club out there and
they were playing all the stuff wehear in the stakes, you know what

(18:11):
I mean. We heard everything andwe were like, and honestly, they
put us onto some music that wehave heard. Were like, dang,
this sous, like this goes hard, Like we were like the bar scene
and we were like, oh mygod, they actually have some really good
taste out here, putting us ontoAmerican music. So I know, so
yeah, it's really a universal languagethat I really love how you phrased it.

(18:33):
Yeah, No, definitely, I'vealways thought that because my dad's a
musician as well, and just goingon tour with him or like going around
the world. I just saw thesehundreds of sometimes thousands of people, you
know, whether it's Glastonberrier one ofthose big festivals, and like, you
know, everybody in that audience.Number one doesn't speak English, right because

(18:56):
you're in a whole other side ofthe world. And then number two,
this is it's like a derivative ofEnglish because Patua is basically broken English,
right, So it's kind of like, whoa, they're hearing this message there.
You know, they're so connected toit. They're so immersed in the
culture just through the music alone.Even if you think about people like Bob
Barley and what he's been able toachieve, what would you say was a

(19:19):
first piece of media or film ormusic that left a lasting impact on you
and maybe shaped your desire to pursue, whether it's video production or just being
a creative in general. That's areally great question. I hate to even
say it, but one of myfavorite artists growing up, because he's changed

(19:42):
so much in terms of what hestands for and who he is. Is
Kanye West is Kanye West. Musicreally influenced me just to really get out
of my shell and try try tobe different from everybody when it comes to
creating music. His graduation album wassomething that was really big for me.

(20:04):
But over time his music has kindof shifted quite a bit, like to
some of it, but then hekind of got into the political atmosphere and
it was just a little bit toomuch for me. So I kind of
checked out with Kanye a little bit, but that honestly, really he really
got me into just music itself.But as for video, it's really hard

(20:29):
to say. It was just somethingthat always just came natural to me,
right and I wanted to publish mymusic somewhere that I was making. I
was making scores, musical scores ofplaying the piano, making my own songs
up and I'm making all this music, But what am I doing with it?
No one can sing to this orno one can do whatever, because
I was making really like I wasmaking. The first type of piano pieces

(20:53):
I was making was like techno,like on the keys. It was crazy.
But with that I was just likeI can't. I can't have anybody
jump on this. So I waslike, let me put let me put
this over a video and see howit feels. And uh, it just
it just kind of spiraled from therewhen I just kept making more videos,

(21:15):
more videos, uh, and likeall throughout my teenage life. I even
made a short film about Trayvon Martinaround that time when Trayvon Martin was murdered
by the George Zimmerman and I Imade that short film. I actually even

(21:37):
use that to get me into aprogram where I actually got to see the
world. I went to the canFilm Festival. Wow. Uh and that
was my submission. And then fromthere I was like solidified. I was
bigger thing. I don't normally cutpeople off. It's it's what I pride
myself on. But we're not justgonna slide past that, brackne Okay,

(22:00):
we're not just going to electric sidepast the fact that you were at the
can Film Festival. So can youplease enlighten us a little bit about that
process and how that felt? Ohfor sure. So So it was this
internship program called Creative Mind Group orsomething like that, and there was only

(22:25):
a select amount of people that wereable to get into it, and you
had to submit a piece of work, and I submitted my short film called
IMU, which was again it wasabout Trayvon Martin, but it was more
so about the lens from George Zimmermanon that day. And it's at the

(22:47):
end of the day why it wascalled IMU. I guess if folks who
are listening to this, you guyshave to check it out, cause I
don't want to kind of give itaway, but I think that I am
you can kind of speak enough inthe sense that we all bleed the same
blood. So but anyways, I'vesubmitted this short film. I got into

(23:07):
the program and I got to leavethe States for the first time, and
I got to experience France. Imade friends there, and I got to
just experience the entire festival. Igot to see some screenings. But the
most memorable thing about just France werethe people, the friends that I made
there. I still talked to themto this day. And that was I'll

(23:32):
say that was maybe ten to twelveyears ago. And even had a friend
that who spoke entirely French, maybea little bit of English. He flew
out from Kennes to DC and hestayed with me for a little bit and
we got to hang. Yeah,so those type of friendships abroad, I
don't know, sometimes people just gravitatedand those type of friendships can really just

(23:57):
last. I don't know really andbeing in a space like that because you're
you were relatively new to that space. Yeah, it was. It was
a new space for sure. Butwhat was pretty cool the people that were
actually in the program. Uh theywere film nerds like me, so they

(24:18):
were they were pretty cool. Iwas probably Oh, I was going to
say it was the It was fewblack people, but there were there was.
It was mostly uh, you know, it was pretty it was pretty
diverse. I'll say that. I'llgive them that. I'll give credit Minds
Group that they made it pretty diverse. But it was something where it felt

(24:41):
like we all could connect based onour passion and it was something where,
uh, being in that space,you felt that more that much more invigored.
So it was it was a itwas a really great time. I
would one percent go again. It'sjust a matter of figuring out how can
I what reason can I get myselfto the can Film Festival where at least

(25:04):
most of it's paid or something Idon't know what's just expensive out there.
Wow. I'm like speechless. That'swhy I'm like, is he really just
gonna fly over this like it's nothing? So I had to have you elaborate
that is amazing. Wow, Wow, Wow cool? And do you think
you want to? I guess ifyou were at a crossroads or you know,

(25:26):
think of tugle war and you werebeing pulled in either direction, whether
it was towards music or film,where do you think you kind of lean
more towards at this point in yourlife. It's so hard, yeah,
because it started with music, butthen my passion really went into videos,
and that's like tugle war. That'sa that's a strong game of tugle war.

(25:49):
I would probably say film would win, just because I also am a
writer. I love to write.I love writing scripts, I love writing
short stories and things like that.And it's it's something where it's it's so
much easier for me to write versussometimes making music because music is so challenging.

(26:15):
It's it's and so it's filmed,but music is just a different piece.
It's just constantly changing based on allthese different trends that people are kind
of being influenced by It's funny becauseI'm a musician and I really don't really
listen to music like that. Peoplemy friends always come up to me with
these new music and they're like,like, you haven't heard this. I'd

(26:37):
be like, yeah, I kindof live under a rock, and I
purposely. I purposely do it though, because I don't want to be influenced
with my music that I produce,because I'm constantly you know what I mean,
Because if you're constantly hearing stuff,then your stuff is going to sound
the same, so right, SoI really just try to, you know,

(27:06):
keep a clean mind. But atthe end of the day, it's
I love both and I hope thatI can always make music for fun but
still use video as my foundation.I love that. I love that.
That's beautiful. And hmm, ifyou if you had the opportunity to produce

(27:33):
your own film and do the scorefor it, is that something you would
do congruently? Like would you doboth of those things? Or are you
the type of person where it's like, Okay, if I'm going to do
something, I just want to havelike one hat on for this and I'll
have somebody else to come and dothe other thing. Yeah, So I
would say that if I'm doing afilm, most likely nine times out of

(27:56):
ten, I probably would just focuson the film. But if I felt
inspired out of nowhere in that otherten percent, I would put my hat
on, be like I'm going inand just go ahead and just produce something.
But yeah, it just comes natural, is you know. I don't
like forcing it, but because I'vemade I've made scores before. I remember

(28:21):
way back when my dad was reallyin a he was really into producing his
own movies, and he actually hadme do a score for it. I
created maybe like two or three scoresfor my dad where I would just play
the piano over a scene and justkind of make something up. So that
was always really fun but very nice. And speaking of your dad, you

(28:45):
know, he seemed to have agreat impact on you as far as your
influence on music and film and thingslike that. Is there a particular lesson
or way in which you saw yourdad operate just in the business that you
took like a lesson from or yousaid, well, you know, I
see the way that he does hisbusiness, or I see the way that

(29:07):
he's able to shoot certain films orproduce certain music that you wanted to emulate.
Sure, I think the biggest thingthat I learned from my dad was
just to be hungry for it andbe a businessman. And that's why I
started my own company Above Part Studios, and I use this medium to really

(29:32):
kind of do everything with just music, video, photography, and I've gotten
my hands in all these different realms. But lately I've been trying to figure
out how can I kind of narrowit down because I need consistent income on
my side business. And you're probablythe first to notice here on the podcast,

(29:57):
but my wife expecting in November,so I gotta be hungry. Congratulations
to both of you. No,thank you. I appreciate it at as
they're gonna love you. Blessing congratulation. I appreciate it. After work,

(30:19):
No, you know, work haveto start, No, because kids are
not cheap exactly. So to thepoint, I just got to be hungry,
you know, I just I wantto also lay that same example from
my children, you know, justmake sure that they see that I'm doing

(30:41):
everything that I can to support myfamily to the max. And even my
mom she even played a great rolebecause my mom was the big caretaker in
our lives, and she she sacrificedso much for us as well, and
just having the support system of myparents just inspired me so much just to
be a better man, but alsoset up this business for the future to

(31:07):
provide for my family. I lovethat, and I'm glad you spoke about
your mom because I always find away to bring it back to the mother
or grandmother or even sister in men'slives, because although this podcast is for
everyone, it's centered around women andit usually comes back to women. And
I say this every time I havea man on the podcast, including I

(31:30):
had my own dad on here.Every time I talk to a man on
their own, they end up bringingup their mom. I usually don't even
have to ask, and you justyou just did it, you know,
And to me, that's a lot. Of course. I would never have
anyone on here or be friends withanyone that didn't think highly of their mother,
because we all know that tells thestory as well. But I never

(31:51):
insinuate it first. It's usually theman brings it up and then I kind
of take it from there. Soyou mentioned that you know your mom,
obviously she made sacrifices for you aswell in her own way, what is
a lesson that you feel you learnfrom your mom that has helped you become
the manu R today. That's agreat question. Well, I could just

(32:14):
say her sacrifice. My dad wouldn'thave had the career that he would have
had if she didn't step up andtake care of the siblings, my siblings
and I, and she honestly justtaught me just selflessness and what that looks
like and the person that I wantedto attract from myself, the type of

(32:37):
the type of person that I wantto be with that's willing to you know,
just be a phenomenal mother. Andthat comes in so many different that
comes in so many different ways.But my mom just really just laid the
example of what it is to bea mother for me, and she really

(33:00):
she raised the grace of all times. She's my goat. So I love
that. We love mommies around here, So I love them. And you
know, you bring up a goodpoint because, as you know, last
month was Men's Mental Health Awareness Monthand we had all men last month and
they all talked about in just differentways their mom really playing a role in

(33:22):
like what you just said, themchoosing partners, the way that they treated
their partners, you know, justhad that influence on them as a man.
And like you said, the factthat you saw that and a lots
of what you say about both ofyour parents are actions, right, Like
you're not saying lots of Yeah,my parents told me this quote or gave

(33:42):
me this Bible verse, and that'swhat, you know, made me the
man I am. It's what theydid, you know. And I say
that all the time that I thinksometimes, especially parents like our parents that
generation, they can sometimes have amindset where they might think, Okay,
okay, well, I mean Itook you to church and you know,
read the Bible and whatever whatever.But we had parents that actually did what

(34:07):
they said, you know what Imean, like showed like showed the action,
Like you saw your dad get upand work. I saw my parents
get up and work. You sawyour mom be a caretaker and make these
sacrifices. She didn't have to tellyou, oh, I'm making a sacrifice.
Do you see me? Like thisis me sacrificing, you know,
like you saw it for yourself.And I just think that's such a blessing

(34:29):
and it makes such a difference.And I'm sure your parents hearing this to
see that you appreciated it. Ihaven't been a parent yet, but I'm
sure they love to hear that andfeel appreciated because your parents brought you in
this world, like you didn't askto be here, so in their mind,
they're just doing their job. SoI'm sure to hear their child say
like, I saw this, andI recognize this and I appreciate it.

(34:51):
Not that you haven't said it before, but I think, like that's such
a blessing that you're able to saythat and they can hear that, because
man, I I just think itmakes such a difference knowing that your sacrifice
is appreciated from both your mom andyour dad. Oh absolutely. And kind
of to that point is I've justlearned so much from them in different regards

(35:13):
and like not what like I mentionedwith my dad that hunger he had to
just just go and get it.And then my mom with the pure selflessness
that has inspired me in so manydifferent ways as the man that I am
today and even just the example thatI want to be for my future child.
And so I'm just really excited toknow that I have them around and

(35:39):
you know that they can play aninfluence in their their grandchildren's lives. Yeah,
and something that I even wanted totouch on too, and I think
something that I kind of just tookfrom them. But even when it comes
to my business that I'm that I'mrunning with above part Studios, I want
to find people eventually down down theroad, you know, after I get

(36:02):
this this income up, you knowwhat I mean, I need a little
bit more bread. But but themain thing that I really want to do
with this business what made me theepiphany that I had like this is my
calling. I wanted to do somethingwhere I could find people, find young

(36:22):
people that have a passion for videoor photography, uh in this specific medium,
and help them, help mentor themand help them figure out, you
know, how to just get theirhands on some equipment. Essentially, my
company would provide equipment and teach themhow to use equipment that they may have

(36:44):
not had the means to afford,and then teach them how to find,
you know, people to to getsome work, to get some work from
and so just to help create someself sufficient you know, independence for themselves.
And that's something that has really drivenme and something I would love to

(37:07):
do. I would love to getinto teaching and I feel not until I
do that, then I feel completethat like my job, this is what
I was put on earth here todo and something that I'm really striving for.
So and again, I don't thinkI would be this way if it
wasn't for my parents. So justI'm just trying to just figure out how

(37:29):
can I give back in any waythat I can at the end of the
day. And is there like aparticular group of people you'd want to give
back to, like marginalized communities.Absolutely, I would say marginalized communities straight
up, just people that haven't hadthat, that just could not have didn't
have the means. So Ford,let's say a six thousand dollars camera and

(37:52):
the means to say for one,you know what I mean again, just
to create that independence for themselves becauseI've been privileged enough to be able to
have a camera at a young age. I've been I've had mentors and throughout
this experience and it's not easy,and it's I just want to help be
that catalyst that can get someone tobe where they dream of being. And

(38:17):
that's just it fulfieling for me.And you know, of course, one
day I want to produce my ownmajor film and things like that. But
at the end of the day,that doesn't matter if you have nothing to
really show for it, you know, just something something that really made an
impact on somebody's life. So again, I just I'm just really blessed to

(38:39):
have the support system that I've hadwhere I can be put in a position
where I can be this this thistype of resource to somebody else that wants
to make it. I love that. That's beautiful. You know. My
aunt has is saying it's important tosend the elevator back down, right.
So you were blessed to come froma family that, you know that was

(39:00):
just kind of at your leisure asfar as just seeing your dad in film
and maybe being even exposed to certaintypes of equipment and things like that.
And you could have taken that andsaid, you know what, I went
to Camp Film Festival. So I'vemade it and I can just relax,
you know. But it's important togive back because there are children, there

(39:21):
are people around the world that arevery interested, or not even around the
world, just in your community here, you know, that are very interested
in getting into that, and it'snot that they lack the skills really,
it's a matter of lacking the opportunityor just trying to figure out what certain
things are. Having access right,Like, access gets in the way of

(39:42):
a lot of really intelligent and creativeyoung people getting involved in the arts.
You know. So that's really reallyreally special and important what you're doing,
because I've seen so many, somany super talented people that just never had
the means to get to it,and I just always wonder like, how
how does this happen? Why doesthis happen? And anything I can do

(40:07):
to pass the baton to the nextto create content that moves people, that
pushes people in the right direction,that's the type of influence that I want
to be and that's where I reallyknow that I'm successful once I've done that.
I love that. Oh so beautiful, God will bless you. I
appreciate it. Sn the elevator backdown right, Yeah, absolutely, I

(40:30):
love that. I'm taking that.I love the elevator. Please please please.
It's something that I repeat that shesays all the time, So yeah,
I'm sure she'd be happy to shareit with you. Hey man,
Okay, so something a little bitdifferent my day. You are a film

(40:52):
producer for Wine Enthusiast that correct,That's correct. Okay, So that means
you love wine. Oh you haveto love wine. I love one.
Okay, So whatever you get.So as somebody, and I'm going to
repeat it just so you remember,as somebody that has a tolerance level of
basement, Right, it's not evenlevel one, it's like zero, right,

(41:16):
how do you decide what to paircertain wines with? Right? Because
I see videos and I see peoplebeing like, oh I paired this with
this, and they just seem tojust know, you know, like what
to pair it with. So howdid you get to a point where you
knew or maybe you're not at thatpoint. I don't know. I'm kind
of assuming you're an expert, Buthow did you get to a point where,

(41:37):
like you were so interwine where youknew like what to pair it with.
See, I'm not going to evensit here and cap I'm gonna say
that my experience, Like I actuallyhave studied. I'm leveled two with my
w set, which is the winespirit and education. Trust I've got my
education from. So I got alittle something something. I know how to

(41:59):
pair a bit. But I don'tthink I am confident enough to say off
the rip because at the end ofthe day. Everybody's taste buds are different.
It's so different. Like someone mightlike eating steak and drinking rose with
it, but then the other personlikes drinking you know, prefers a cab

(42:20):
with a steak, you know whatI mean. It's just everybody's taste buds
are so different. But our teamback at One Enthusiasts, they do a
really good job in terms of figuringout the science and going you know,
going by just just overall just whatpeople are saying and just put in their
ear to the streets. I lovethat. And do you find yourself like

(42:43):
getting asked by people just by natureof you know, your day jobs,
people saying like, oh, whatwine should I buy? Yes, I
do, where you'll go with it? And yes, I get it.
I get it all the time.And I think, is I love with
my friends company with that because Ido have enough knowledge to be like,
yeah, you're gonna like that.I got you give me an idea what

(43:04):
you like, and I know howto kind of work around it, you
know. So yeah, I lovethat. I love that. I mean,
as you know, we had Bonnery, who I spoke about actually a
couple episodes ago, but she's adirector of public relations for those of you
heard that episode, and she's soawesome and I loved having her on because
I love that she tried the patatoo. She did. I love it,

(43:29):
and I loved it. It wasso beautifully done right and I wasn't
even expecting it. But she's justamazing. And I really think that it's
great that it's something that you love. And I said this to her as
well. It's something that you loveand you're able to be a part of
it as a career. You know, it's not just something that you're like,
okay, like I guess, Iguess I'll taste wines. I guess

(43:50):
I'll get to know you know.It's like it's something that you have a
passion about. So that's really coolthat you're able to kind of blend those
two things together with your ex forteasing video production and also your love of
wine. I think it's fun.It's really fun because I worked in all
different types of fields I used.I worked in news. I started in
news out of school, and thenI went into politics. Did that for

(44:15):
several years and then and then Iwas just like, you know what,
I think I needed to get insomething a little bit more creative and something
that like doing more in my sparetime, and that was the hospitality industry,
which is you know, in spiritsand wine. So it's been really
fun the journey, and again,just had so many people that helped lift

(44:35):
me to where I am now.I could say it's been blessing. I
can say it's a privilege. Ican say all those things because some of
it's luck. Then some of itis just just knowing people and those people
believed in me and gave me theopportunity and couldn't have done it without them.
So it's been a journey that yes, right, it's always is.

(44:58):
And you know, it's something I'vespoken about before, but I would love
to do like an episode of winepairing with Caribbean food. I did it
kind of minor, in a minorway. I had an episode that was
sponsored by the bride Sisters. SoI did ap pairing with like Escovach fish.

(45:19):
I don't know if you've had thatbefore. Is that kind of like
cevice? Not really? Okay,I'm hesitating because visually I feel like it
could be similar, but not really. So Escovach fish Escovich is just the
way that it's seasoned essentially right,so it's kind of like a fried fish,
and then there's just certain like peppersand vinegar on top of it.

(45:40):
It's very very good spares get mehungry. I love spicy, I loved,
I loved, I loved Jamaican food. I love yes. Oh whoa
yeah, don't get me started.I can talk about food like we know.
And the thing is, we don'treally have too many spots out here
in DC. I've been looking forsome really like some real oxtail. I've

(46:07):
been struggling to find it, butyou know, trying to find me some
nice Caribbean spots, but you know, still still looking, still looking,
well, I have. I havetwo things to say. Number one,
I would like to just say,on behalf of the entire island of Jamaica.
I'm so happy that you said oxtailand not ox tails. Thank you.
I feel like I need to giveyou like a prize or something like

(46:30):
that, because every time I hearsomeone that's not Caribbean say oxdale, I'm
like clinching my eyes like are theygonna add the s? Are they gonna
add? I appreciate you for sayingit correctly. That's a number one shout
up to myself in the backgrounds becausemaybe that's what it was. But yes,
maybe maybe there's some connection there.And speaking of that, I saw

(46:52):
something the other day that said thereis a connection between the Caribbean and persons
from the south, like somewhere hundredof years ago. There's some connection with
that. So you never know,maybe there's something there. No, there
probably is, but no, yougot me stuck on like pairing wine with
Caribbean food Like that sounds so soyou go, Actually you talk, let

(47:15):
me ask you a question, tellme more. I love that. Yes,
So I was leading, so thatwas gonna be my lead up.
Was I want to do an episodeabout like just strictly like a whole episode,
because after I did that, whatI was going to say was I
just did the fish, and Ithink I did like jerk chicken or something,

(47:35):
just like two things right, Yeah, but I want to do like
a whole episode about pairing and maybehaving like different persons like try it with
different wine. So I think that'ssomething like we could do together. I
think that would be so cool.Yo, I'm with it. That sounds
so cool. I would love that. Yeah, because I find people really
love wine, and I find peoplereally love not just Jamaican food all As

(48:00):
a Jamaica, we're very guilty ofsaying we're the best at everything. But
I would like to be inclusive andsay Caribbean. You know, because I
love a good rotie, I lovea good bossop shot, I love a
good pepper pot from Guyana. Ilove Caribbean food in general. So I
would love to do that. Ithink that would be such a cool idea.
See I might be bas but yeah, Jamaican is probably my favorite too.

(48:22):
Well you know, people, yousee it there, he said it.
I just want to point out Idid not say to him. I
did not go any she did it. There wasn't any conversation before this.
That's exactly just how I feel.So yeah, but no, I love
like all kinds of Caribbean food.Like my ideal and this is going to
sound very very what are the kidssaying now, big back of me?

(48:45):
My ideal vacation is to go tolike every single Caribbean island and just yeah,
I just I'm off to people foodjust eat everything. Now, that's
heaven on Earth. I am.I am a foodie, so literally,
yeah, the only thing I don'teat is peanut butters and bananas, so
like that's the only thing you canmiss you with, But anything else you

(49:06):
give me, I will were willingto try. I'm willing to try it.
I'm adventurous and maybe I might avoidthe bugs. And but you know,
some people's cultures sure, like youknow, like I'm not gonna knock
them for it, but I justI just can't get with it, you
know. Yeah, I definitely drawthe line at things that buzz or you
know, things that have eyes orwhatever, even like fish. Like so

(49:30):
in Jamaica, we eat the fishwhole right, like the head, eyes,
everything. However, every time Ieat fish, especially like one of
my aunts, she's like my othermom. Every time I eat fish with
one of my aunts, she alreadyknows. Don't even give it to me
with the head because I can't.I can't love it's like the best part.
Oh my god, Braxton Brastun,I think my family is gonna like

(49:53):
want to treade because I cannot seelike any think with eyes. I just
feel guilty. I just feel likeI just I don't know. Yeah,
I just I don't feel good aboutit. Now if the head is gone
I'm just like, oh, thisis great, you know. So yeah,

(50:14):
for me, it stops with anythingthat was once well I can't say
it was once living because fish wasliving, but I'll just say no bugs,
I'll say what you say. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know
what I mean. Yeah, soyeah, we definitely have to arrange that.
I think that would be like sucha cool idea. And as you
know, this podcast is audio only, so it would be cool if that

(50:37):
would be like a special like videoepisode, because I never really considered video
though everyone says I should do it, but yeah, we'll see. We'll
definitely follow up with that. Ithink that would be really cool. Of
course, always happy to help inany way that I can. Oh,
that would be awesome. Yeah,no, definitely we'll link up after and
figure that out because I think thatwould be like such a cool idea because

(50:58):
I've brought it up in different wayson different episodes, and every every time
I say it, everybody is alwayslike, oh my god, that's so
cool, that's so cool. Soyeah, I think it would really go
over well, and it would benice to like infuse or try to i
don't know, maybe figure out likesome different wines to try and I'd tap
you for your expertise in that,because I know you said you have what

(51:21):
a W S s C T Ws C T. All I have is
TC, B Y and MTV andBT. I don't. I don't even
know anything close to that. SoI would definitely lean on your expertise.
You lean on my expertise for meon the expertise of someone else. So
but yeah, send the elevators aboutany which way right right exactly exactly.

(51:52):
So for our last segment, Iam going to ask you, let's see
one, two, three, four, or five six rapid fire questions,
and I would like you to answerwith your with the first thing that comes
to mind. Basically, you cansay one word or one sentence, or

(52:14):
you can say whatever you want.I only tell people one word or one
sentence because I don't want them tofeel like these are like six questions to
elaborate on, like we've been elaboratingthe whole episode. It's just kind of
like that's why I call it rapidfire, like first thing that comes to
mind. But if it's something thatyou want to talk a little bit more
about, you can absolutely feel freeto do. So sure, let's do

(52:36):
it, all right, first question, what is your favorite reggae or dancehall
song. I see the song calledHire, but I can't remember the name
of the artist. Higher hold on, I'm about to look it up.

(52:59):
Is this underground? Maybe it's underground. It might be underground. I am
not sure. Oh, I seeit now. It's with Slightly Stupid.
Yes, yes, okay, soI know Slightly Stupid. I'm very familiar
with them, but I've never heardof stick Figure. Is that it?

(53:20):
No? This is not it.That's nice, not it. It's Gonna
bother Me. Maybe that's not thename. It's a song like Vibes Cartel.
I can't remember. It's gonna botherme. It's gonna bother me.
I'm gonna come. I'm gonna wait. Cartel and Slightly Stupid are completely polar
That's what I'm saying. You knowwhat I mean. So I mentioned this

(53:43):
earlier, but I live under arock. Okay again, you did say
that, so that's fair. OhGod, I wish I could remember the
song that I'm thinking of right now. It's Gonna bother Me. It's on
my It's on my Apple Music.But I do not even have my phone
near me right now. Nothing fromlike Marley is the man that's such as

(54:04):
such a like it's a given one. I was trying to be trying to
be given one. That's uh.That shows you know the things them.
Yes, exactly exactly. I knowyou can do it. I can do
this, I can do this.Oh how about uh the song Positive Vibration

(54:28):
is that's my Bob Marley, right, yeah, Positive Vibration? Yeah that
song? Yes, yes, yes, that's a classic. We're good with
classics here. That's fine. That'sfine because Bob Marley himself is obviously well
known in mainstream, but everybody doesn'tknow Positive Vibration. It's not like it's
no woman. That's a great song. Like three Little Birds. I would

(54:52):
say, come on, I knowyou can for sure? Are those like
the most common? For sure?Yes, I look after this our episode,
I'm definitely gonna look up the songand I'm going to say it man,
definitely definitely. Next question, ifyou could have any superpower, what

(55:16):
would it be? And why?Teleportation? Mmmm? They could never catch
me, said he would be onhis you saying bolt, I will literally
I would make my stops all acrossthe world. You catch me in Iceland,

(55:43):
you catch me, Uh, catchme in Ghana. You catch me,
and you catch me Egypt, You'llcatch me anywhere. I'm trying to
see the world. I got alot of places to go, you know.
I love that mood. Yes,tell me abroad like see the world.
Yes, I love that answer.Okay, next one, what's your

(56:05):
favorite type of cuisine and why doyou love it so much? Oh?
Sushi? I love sushi so much. Uh yeah, And that's the big
thing why Japan was such a nobrainer for me. I've been wanting to
go since I was a kid,just because sushi has always been my favorite
food. And why. I don'tknow why. It's it's a lot of

(56:25):
people get thrown thrown back by beingraw. But you know, I think
it's flood that food can still beextremely flavorable, flavorful. Uh yeah,
I don't know. I just alwaysloved it. Interesting. My mom ate
a lot of sushi with me whenshe was pregnant too. I don't know
if I had anything to do withit. She was there, she wasn't

(56:49):
supposed to, but hey, Icame out, okay, right, But
this is probably before all the scienceand all that stuff was out, So
let's give it grace. That's true. That's true. But you came out
just fine. So yeah, itcame all right. Okay, three more
questions. The next question, ofcourse, you know, I have to

(57:10):
ask what's your favorite because we talkedabout this a little bit, But what's
your favorite wine and food pairing?And what's a pairing that you haven't tried
yet that you really want to try. It's not necessarily wine, but it
kind of goes back to sushi.I love sake and sushi, but if

(57:34):
I was to go outside of sushi, I love uh, I love shardonnay,
and you pretty much like I loveshardonnay. And maybe like grilled fish
always that's something that's always you know, I just love fish, but I
can eat it any type of way. But yeah, and I would say

(57:59):
that. And I always love agood you know, uh, steak cab
pairing. That's something that's a classic. You know, you got to get
that in. But a parent thatI haven't tried before. Yeah, ooh
hm hmm. And maybe you don'teven know if it's good, but it
just probably sounds good in your head. Something like that. Mmmmm. I

(58:23):
yet have to try. I hearthat reestling and Indian food goes way together
goes really well together. And Ihaven't tried that confirm that again, you
can confirm it as a level ofzero in TCBY and MTV and BT,
I can confirm. But I lovethe Indian food as well, and I
usually go for reestling because my justlevel of knowledge of wine is that low.

(58:45):
That is just the easiest thing forme. I can. I can
confirm that that is good according tomy taste buds. Of course you said
it varies, but sure you'd besafe with that. That sound safe?
No, you know anything is?It kind of makes sense because you know
it's a little bit lower acidity,uh like lower well more so lower alcohol

(59:09):
because you know, if you're eatingsomething spicy and you're drinking alcohol something with
that, your mouth is gonna burnand you know, and it's also can
be a little sweet if it's asweet reasoning that is, But again I'm
not an expert. I study,you got my little bit of my education
going. But it's you know,it's I know, a little some some

(59:29):
So right, that's just one likehypothetically that you're saying you'd want to try.
Oh yeah, yeah, definitely trythat works. That works, Okay,
So I'm doing this new thing.Don't know how long it's gonna last,
but so far it's been pretty cool. Where I allow my guests to
ask me a question because you don'tget to ask any questions, and I

(59:50):
will answer it, so you canask me whatever you want. If you
were to make your own video series, what would it be about? Oh,
that is so interesting because you havea great personality. I could.
Yeah, you definitely would do reallywell on camera if you wanted to do
it. Thank you. I hadno problem. Everyone says that, but
I'm gonna so shy, you know, I know, I don't sneem shy.

(01:00:17):
I would say I would really stillit would really still be centered around
having conversations with people, but itwould be around like it would be,
oh, my gosh, what's theguy? Oh no, and he passed
away and he went around the world, like eating different foods. Oh my

(01:00:39):
gosh, what's his name? Ican like see his face, but I'm
drying a blank on his name.Hold on, let me google Anthony Bourdain.
Oh, Anthony Bourdain. Yeah,I wouldn't be eating like the interesting
stuff. I'll just call it interesting. But I would be like, would

(01:01:00):
love to go around the world andjust talk to different people and get immersed
in different cultures and find out moreabout their culture, you know, find
out about like the clothing. Ireally love fashion, and just find out
like where their sense of style comesfrom, where their you know, values
come from. And in each stop, I just need to eat everything,

(01:01:22):
like everything that looks good. SoI want to like eat and dress up
and talk to things them and yeahthat so like that would be like my
love situation. That is that isgreat. That that sounds like, that
sounds fire, that sounds like Ihit, Yes, that would be like

(01:01:45):
if I can I support this,Yeah, I'll just say if you hire
me as a caraman, I justneed to need a plate. So right,
we'll work for food. That's We'llwork for food. That would be
like my motto, like just aroundthe world, just as long as I'm
not like in the back of theplane next to the bathroom and you know,

(01:02:07):
make sure I'm staying somewhere that's withpeople and not you know, roaches
are crazy, look and there we'llwork for food right right now, That
would be my ideals. My idealsset up is to just still talk to
people because I truly love having likethese conversations, but it would be nice

(01:02:28):
to talk to people in person andyou know, get to know their culture.
I think that's one of the blessingsI had growing up is my parents
took us all over the world,and so by time I was like a
teenager, I was very well awareof other cultures, you know. So
at the end of the day,I think going to different countries and being
exposed to persons living in different ways, you get an appreciation for the fact

(01:02:52):
that the world is not just America, you know, And so I would
love to just open that up topeople who can't travel, because traveling is
a privilege. I think now we'rein an age where and I'm going off
on a tangent, but just tokind of close the book on this,
now we're in an age where travelingis like for Instagram and like TikTok and

(01:03:14):
things like that, and like,you know, to show that you can
go to these places. And maybeit's not maybe it's just you want to
go to these places and you're travelinga lot. But I actually think it's
great. Like I think some peopleare like, oh, it's so overdone,
people always traveling. No, Ithink that's amazing because you know,
how many people of like previous generations, Like I've had people on here that

(01:03:36):
have said that they didn't start travelinguntil they were in their twenties because in
their families, especially those of themthat are American, they did like road
trips, they didn't do like overseasflights, or maybe they just had a
lots of siblings. So obviously it'sexpensive, you know, to do that.
So I love that, and Ithink being able to do something like
that and expose people that maybe aren'table to go would be helpful as well.

(01:04:00):
Absolutely, I wholeheartily agree with you. It truly is a privilege.
Like I literally have had friends thathave not left the DMV, and it's
that just speaks volumes in terms ofjust you know, the accessibility of it.
You know, yeah, you know, and they've like driven around that
like like areas, you know,they've driven and you know, but it's

(01:04:21):
just yeah, it's just like yougot to see the world. It's just
so much bigger. It's so muchbigger than, you know than just where
we are now, and it's tochange your perspective on life and in general
just being able to travel. SoI highly recommend that everybody at least lead

(01:04:41):
the country at once if you can, and it's it's it's really a blessing
and again changes your mind perspective,absolutely, one hundred percent agree. Love
that. Well, thank you somuch for that question. No problem,
no problem. That was that wasa great So I love it. Thank
you. Okay, final question,what are you most grateful for right now?

(01:05:11):
That's easy. I would say mywife. I'm very grateful for her.
And you know, we talked aboutthis a little bit earlier, but
seeing her as a pre mother,back where she's on the way to giving,
you know, giving birth to ourfirst born, and just kind of

(01:05:32):
seeing her you know, you know, in this type of phase, you
have to make a lot of sackquestions, to give up a lot of
different things. And it's humbling forme because you know, it's just seeing
I'm just seeing how she is ashow she's going to be as a parent,
and I'm just so grateful for herand the fact that she puts up

(01:05:57):
with me and she's just such agreat partner and I can't I couldn't be
happier to with anybody else. Sojust so happy that she's oh so beautiful,
perfect, perfect, perfect answer beautifulway to end. Well, Braxon,
I'm so sad. I feel likewe could talk for like two more
hours. Oh no, for real, for real. Yeah, this is

(01:06:19):
a great conversation. I was alittle nervous leading up to it. I
ope I did okay, But soyou did fine, you did fine.
Unfortunately we can't talk forever. Butno, I had so much fun.
And I really want to thank youfor coming to todd to things with me
and you know, really sharing yourstory. I think it's so interesting and
I think a lots of people willresonate with just you know, sometimes not

(01:06:44):
wanting to follow the crowd or justwanting to figure out your own way in
life and your own path. AndI think that you've done that right,
Like, although you're in the samefield as your father, you didn't make
it so like your dad had todo something for you, you know,
like you went out and did ityourself and follow those lessons. And I
think that says a lot about theway your parents parented you and a lots

(01:07:08):
about you as a person, rightbecause you could have easily done that,
and I think that's expected when personslike us have parents that are in the
entertainment business, it's kind of expectedthat you get things handed to you,
or you know, you don't reallyhave to work for things because it's kind
of right there. So I lovewhen I hear and see other people that

(01:07:28):
even though you have that at yourleisure, you choose to like use it
to help you build your own thingrather than just depending on that. So
I think that's so admirable. Andyeah, I really enjoy this conversation.
And before you go, is thereanything else you wanted to share? I
think I got everything off my chest, but I would say that, you

(01:07:48):
know, for anyone that wants tofollow me, you can follow me at
Braxton Zpar and also you could followmy business account just shot up of par
on Instagram, so feel free tojust you know, shoot me a follow
if you can. And I wouldlove to work with you. Love that,
