    TATTOO TAPES - Episode 11 - Showing Up Consistently
    Feb 22 2026
    This episode is all about the power of showing up every single day. Alex Boca and Nero Prenta dive deep into why using the tools we already have: social media, storytelling, the real us and our own voice is the key to growing your business and building genuine connections.
    Consistency isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the bridge between passion and opportunity.

    Along the way, we drift into personal memories, moments of family, struggle, and growth, that made us a bit emotional. But the past is what shapes us, and it’s what teaches us to value the little things in life.
    If you’re an artist, entrepreneur, or anyone trying to turn passion into purpose, this episode is for you.
