  • T2M Viveca Chow Finale - Making Social Media Feel Like a Friend
    Oct 7 2025

    To close out Season One, Andi sits down with NYC-based content creator and social media influencer Viveca Chow, whose warm, practical, and culture-rich content has helped thousands find joy in New York City without breaking the bank. Known for spotlighting cheap eats, free events, and authentic local gems, Viveca’s presence online feels like getting advice from a friend who just gets it.

    In this episode, Andi and Viveca talk about the real work behind content creation, from staying true to your audience to knowing when it’s time to evolve. Viveca opens up about how she shifted from primarily food content to broader lifestyle storytelling—without losing her voice or her community. She shares what keeps her grounded, what inspires her, and how her transparency is just as much for herself as it is for her followers.

    Of course, it wouldn’t be a T2M episode without a little love for her beloved pitbull, Mochi, or some laughs about what makes a great zombie apocalypse partner. (Spoiler: kindness, resourcefulness, and a mutual love for dumplings go a long way.)

    This final episode is about evolution, altruism, and trusting your gut—online and off. It’s a reminder that social media can be a source of connection, joy, and, yes, a few well-deserved giggles.

    Thank you for joining us this season. Stay tuned for Season Two—and until then, keep showing up, keep asking good questions, and keep listening.

  • T2M: Jasely Molina Part Two - Get Back to Center
    Sep 30 2025

    In the second half of her conversation with Andi, Jasely Molina—LinkedIn Top Voice and proud Bronx native—returns with even more clarity, vulnerability, and purpose. This time, we go beyond the brand and into the heart of the woman behind the words.

    Jasely opens up about the responsibility she carries in centering Black and Brown communities through her work, making sure the brands she partners with don’t bypass the difficult truths. She speaks candidly about self-doubt, impostor syndrome, and the ongoing practice of reminding herself to get back to center—a personal mantra that grounds her in both mission and self-worth.

    From navigating difficult commenters online to protecting her voice without compromising her values, Jasely shows us what it means to lead with honesty and stay rooted in community. She isn’t here to tear anyone down—instead, she builds bridges with bold questions and softer strength.

    This episode serves as a reminder that storytelling is more than just content—it’s about connection, courage, and care.

    So when doubt creeps in, take a page from Jasely’s book: Ask the hard questions. Stay present. And always, get back to center.

    Here is Jasely's work linked below:
