As you all know by now, I LOVE photography. My guest for this episode is the one and only Ricky Codio, a professional photographer who I've been following for a long time. He's been published numerous times, provided photography for the major motion picture CREED, and is an all-around phenomenal artist with inspiring and fascinating stories about what goes on behind the lens.

On this episode of Ready Set Slay, I brought in two guests from the world of fashion. Rocket, founder of AwkwardMovement Clothing and Kristen Abney, owner and operator of the hilarious Instagram account Petty Wednesday and corresponding merchandise line. We cover everything from the racial controversies of Gucci, H&M, and Kanye West to how (and if) people and businesses can evolve for the better. Also, you'll learn which signs of the zodiac to avoid!

If you're from Philly, chances are Mina SayWhat will be a familiar voice. She's been on Philly radio for over 10 years and appears on SiriusXM, as well as being a podcaster, entrepreneur and a "friend in my head," as I like to call her. Mina took time to chat with me about her journey from radio to television to podcasting, watching other people do things online, and the how important it is to WORK WORK WORK for what you want. This is such an inspiring episode and I'm so excited to share it with you!

It's the first episode of Ready Set Slay in 2019 and what better way to kick off the new year than with a second edition of what we like to call, "Bestie Chronicles."
