“I was just clinically depressed, you know, clinically depressed, absolutely rock bottom. And I was playing sports arenas at the time. I had a number-one hit at the time. And that’s where I was.”
Episode summary:
In this episode, I have an international recording artist, entrepreneur, and life coach with a captivating story that spans four continents and multiple cultures. Christian Ray Flores and I discuss how, sometimes in life, we can get swept up in the positive and negative things going on around us and how God can still show up in the midst of it all.
What to listen for:
“One that I’ve never mentioned anywhere that I’ve helped several Russian, Russian members of the Russian mafia clean up their act and get out of the mafia.”
“We moved to Chile when I was like four years old, and my mom and dad were both Marxists, and at the time, they were about to elect the first socialist democratically elected actually socialist president in history, and he was elected in Chile. Well, the military didn’t like that, and they overthrew the president, bombed the thing, and bombed his presidential palace. He got killed, and they proceeded to arrest hundreds of thousands of people and put him in concentration camps. And so it was like mass persecution.”
“My theory is that artists usually have A, suffering in their past, right? Because there’s an emotional muscle that you develop over time. And then many artists have also, I think, a variety of experiences that are just different. I have this plethora of experiences and cultures. And I think those are the things that contributed to the artistry, and that’s my theory. I’m not sure, but I think that gives you these superpowers. The ability to connect to human nature.”
