Hey! 

When was the last time you took a chance on yourself? 

Many of us are stuck in an endless loop of security. We’re just trying to pay our bills and make it to the end of the week. But sometimes, prioritizing security can cost you opportunities.

Have you ever missed out on an opportunity because you chose security? 

This week's guest is a master at taking a chance on himself. He’s constantly leaping at the chance to prove himself - even though he was afraid to do so in the moment. He’s gotten in on the ground floor of major production companies, networked with some of the biggest names and podcasting, and even secured himself a DJ set on a sold-out concert. 

Because he saw the chance and he took it. 

This week's guest is Eddin Martinez. Eddin has been instrumental in the success of a ton of dope podcasts - and these are some of the biggest podcasts in the game. WHOREible Decisions, Flagrant, The Brilliant Idiots, the New Rory & Mal podcast, and many others. He's been an engineer, photographer, and even DJ. He's what some people call a jack of all trades. A lot of time he's been in the background - engineering, working the tech, making sure that he's doing whatever he can to make the show run smoothly. These days he's thinking about flipping the camera around and sharing more about his perspective, his expertise, and his story.

In this week’s episode, Eddin tells us how being his most authentic self led him to an incredible career in content production. Growing up, Eddin was given the same speech, as usual, to become a lawyer or find a 9 to 5 job. But he knew that wasn’t his calling. 

He spent years DJing, networking, and learning as much as he could about all kinds of production processes. He’s talked his way into incredible rooms and given himself the most amazing opportunities. 

Tune in to Eddin’s episode to find out how he did it all and stayed true to his most authentic self.

In this week's episode, we talk about:

• Why Eddin pursued DJing instead of a 9 to 5 job

• How he found out he wasn’t the only creative in his family

• Why he took a chance on himself and gave himself amazing opportunities

• Why learning from your mistakes is so important
