Wanna Wrestle?
¡El Playlist! volume 18 picks line up to create the best question
I’m a big fan of both football (playoffs baby!) and nostalgia, and this week we’re somehow covering both sports and the 80s.
The best combo, obviously.
Though one of these podcasts has since paused, the content is still relevant as we head into NFL playoffs this weekend. And how can you resist 80s nostalgia?!
YOU WANNA DO WHAT?!
Description: Ever wish you had your own personal Jiminy Cricket whispering in your ear, guiding you to the right path towards self-development and personal growth so you can achieve your personal and business goals? It’s easy to get swept up in the day to day and forget about once loved passions or hobbies. YOU WANNA DO WHAT?! is a personal development podcast that brings you weekly inspiration, motivation, and storytelling to help you:
Set your goals
Overcome obstacles
Change your mindset
Achieve greatness
After spending 15 years in Corporate America, host Monica Rivera realized she was drifting away from her personal bucket list goals. She realized there’s more to life than just the 9-5, and she believes in living multi-passionate life. Monica realized it was time to bring the focus back on herself to feel more fulfillment, and now she’s inspiring others to do the same.
Join Monica each week as she speaks with Olympians, television stars, men and women entrepreneurs, and regular folks, just like you and me who share their incredible stories of personal development and personal growth. Through these stories, YOU WANNA DO WHAT?! teaches you about productivity improvement, smart goal setting, and the steps you need to take to make big changes.
🎧Listen to YOU WANNA DO WHAT?! here
Episode recommendation: if this podcast sounds familiar it’s because it’s hosted by this week’s (and next week’s!) LVMC guest, Monica Rivera. During our talk, Monica mentions that she’s a huge sports fan. Off the mic, she also told me a story about a guy who tried to impress her by taking her to a Yankee’s playoff game…and then proved that he wasn’t quite the fan he pretended to be. She also relays that story in this early episode of her show I Wanna Get My Girl (or Guy) to Watch Sports, which is naturally full of good advice if you want to date a (real) sport fan!
Revisiting the Mania
Description: Welcome to "Revisiting the Mania". Whether you are a lifelong fan of wrestling or someone looking to discover the magic of Wrestlemania we hope that "Revisiting the Mania" will be the pod for you. Join us on a journey through epic WrestleMania events. Revisiting the Mania is hosted by (Carlos) and his wife (Maria) along with the occasional guest.

Behind-the-Scenes LVMC Life Update
This week I once again forgot to make my usual Taco Tuesday story reminding the audience to listen to the new episode. Why is that? Because we were busy with unwinding the decisions we made 6 months ago AND traveling back to California.
And since I refuse to take another hiatus to smooth out the chaos, I’m simply going to invite you to a party NEXT Taco Tuesday! Because I finally also decided that my word of the year is CELEBRATE and there’s nothing better than celebrating mistakes, and that decisions are not life sentences, while also enjoying the local beer scene.
Since we’re staying in Burbank for the next week, we’re posting up at The Glendale Tap. If you’re local to LA, join me and Ryan from 6:30 to 9-ish. Maybe they’ll have a taco pop-up, to keep with the theme 🌮🌮🌮
Hope to see you there!
