We are back for The Great Lock In of 2025. Did I somehow manage to mention Pokemon in this episode? Of course I did.

Hope you guys enjoy the solo ep!

Let’s hear it for the first episode of 2025!!!

So much appreciation to Johnny Dubbaneh, Co-Founder of Z&Z Manoushe Bakery and for being a guest on the show and sharing the story of how the well-loved bakery came to be a DMV favorite

In this episode we get into culture, business/entrepreneurship but most importantly good vibes so join in on the conversation!!

Thank you SOOO much for listening—please go check out Z&Z if you’re in the DMV area and if you’re not close by you can always just catch a flight :) but they also sell spices on their site so check them out online—sites tagged below:

What is upppp guysss we got one episode out before the end of the year and you're incredibly amazing for giving it a listen!!! I talked about accountability and goals on staying consistent which I have every intention to do in the coming year!

Did I make an anime reference trying to cope with life...possibly :) Thanks listening and reading these show notes aka my personal journal.

I hope this episode helps you in some way and if it did let me know by sending me a DM on Insta @ talkbacc !!

Sick Intro/Outro music by Dono! Check out his stuff and give him a follow! : @dono.h on IG

Biggest episode takeaway--you may not want the billion dollar house and that's OK. It's actually really stressful to obtain anyway so let's work our way to just paying 1500 in rent (if we're lucky) and use the extra cash to take a vacay because you deserve it.

This may or may not be a 2am episode but it's fine because consistency is key at that's two episodes in a week! Love that for us lol I'd love to know if you guys read these show notes because I think I use this space as a personal journal...

WE WERE ON A BREAK but now we're back and uncovering the joys of life one episode at a time :)

Banger Intro/Outro song creds- Okay: Dono

We love to see consistency. This episode of Talk Bacc I recall why I bought mics and boom arms from Amazon in the first place. Of course it stems from a 12 year old dream but hey I'm not complaining

Please note that "burn book" in this episode is referred to as something you should get rid of after writing in it. So you could even have a burn sticky note. The fact is that you dispose of the thing you wrote on!

For the pure reason that you deserve to move on from hard experiences and get rid of things in your life that remind you of tough times you don't want to remember. We love being self aware here.

Much love,
Nas

Yes, this in fact another apology episode for not being active lol Much love to you if you listen to the new episode and especially if you read the show notes :)

Episode Takeaway: Picking yourself up from tough times is half the battle. The feeling you get from going back to the things that make you feel alive is unmatched and I hope you remember to make time for the things that bring you joy.

Feels good to be back.
