There is no shortage of stuff we could talk about and this episode is proof..
On this episode of The Julz and Gems Podcast, I introduce a past coworker (sorta) that wanted to be addressed as KRISTA.

On this Episode of The Julz and Gems Podcast, another great longtime friend, SETH comes on and we reminisce a bit before we talk about how he was able to end up with a notoriously beautiful woman from the days of high school but also how after some years of marriage, they decide to go the route of adopting a child after the frustration of unfortunately not being able to produce one on their own.

IT A FAMILY THING!!
On this episode of the Julz and Gems Podcast I sit down with FAMILY, a good group of them to discuss the differences between MY GENERATION v.s. THEIR GENERATION. With this very unique situation to have all these family members together, what better way to get to know me than by getting a glimpse of who came before me. The funny but true stories roll out and keep us laughing as we discuss how THEIR upbringing was different but how somethings surprisingly wasn't so different.
It is time for the next installment of the "Why I Walked Away" Limited Series! On this episode, I am joined by my first female guest, NATALIE.. who doesn't mind coming on and talk about her side of the story. As a distant friend, maybe more of just an acquaintance, we sit down and discuss this very personal and spiritual experience from our own perspective. From college wild thing to now an expecting Pastors Wife, we get a glimpse of what it took to get there and how there's hope for just about anyone.
On this episode of The Julz and Gems Podcast, I bring on another NEW guest that I haven't talk to in YEARS!! My old "Boss" TIM, the Head Chef at the steakhouse that I used to work at. He shares how being in the food industry business keeps him busy and plenty entertained, especially for how long he's been doing it for. As we catch up, we talk about our time working together and how we both impacted each others life solely through our character. This conversation is quite...wait for it......delicious.
On this episode of The Julz and Gems Podcast, I bring on some silly cats to discuss VIDEO GAMES and a little of our experiences with growing up as avid gamers! This being the first episode to have MULTIPLE GUESTS, I introduce to you my good friend Jack Maddox, who lives out of state as well as my close cousin, Stevie. I get their insight and thoughts about growing up in the gaming culture and also how we have seen it change as of recent. Filled with humor, history and soap boxes..this episode IS the cake that was promised to you all those castles ago.
WE BACK! so on this episode of The Julz and Gems Podcast, my buddy LUPE returns as we chit chat about our current passions and things we both are involved in. From Meme Pages, to Music production, but also how I got to this point of making my own podcast. Hopefully this will inspire someone to go after that thing that's been sitting in the back of their mind, rent free.
On this episode of the Julz and Gems Podcast, a friend from a FAR AWAY LAND who I've only known by his username "BARREDFREAK" joins me. We discuss how we met, how he runs his own business but strangely enough, we finally get the truth behind the rumor of my friend being of ROYALTY where he is from. Surviving the pandemic and being real with our emotions are just some ways we discuss ultimately learning about ourselves in this exposing conversation.
On this episode of The Julz and Gems Podcast, one of my oldest friends named LUPE, comes on the podcast to go back and forth with some random off the wall questions. Even after being friends for so long, not the years past or distance between us could make us change any since the day we met. Topics jump around things like the R Kelly scandal, building tree houses, meeting celebrities, and stories of terrible customer service. I also get to promote a track that HE PRODUCED with promises of more to come!
On this Episode of The Julz and Gems Podcast, I have a friend of mine named Ryan, that I've known for a couple of years come on and talk about how we met online, how he kinda stalked on me, but ultimately how we became friends. We talk about how he is working on HIS OWN ALBUM, and the details of being in that process. Born in the UK, now living in the States, we talk about Life, Music, and Movies.
On this episode of The Julz and Gems Podcast, I decide to talk a little about MUSIC. I talk a little about what it means to me and how music gets me by. I expose myself a bit and share my TOP 5 FOREVER FAVORITES....or that's at least what Spotify calls them.
I always said that the best way to get to know someone is to hear their playlists.
I sit down with my long time friend David and we discuss how coming from a religious upbringing in our personal lives has shaped us but also how stepping away from the organized structure taught us about ourselves and how living differently was an option. Regardless of how others felt about it, it was a choice that was needed. This is our story, this is our life..
