The Journey show

Summary: <br> Asparagus, Hawaii, prison, and film – we get into some heavy stuff on this episode and it is something I have wanted to share with you all for a very long time.  An episode with my brother, Dariq.  Dariq is a photo journalist out in Hawaii and has been living the Aloha life for several years.  For those of us who know him well know that there was no way in hell he was coming back after moving there.  But why move to Hawaii?  Why move half way across the world to start a new life?<br>  <br> In today’s episode, we begin with how Dariq ended up in Hawaii, which leads us into discussing life behind bars.  We also give you all some insight as to what the meaning of “get my hands right” means!  I am upset we didn’t dive into prison cakes but we scratch the surface with life behind bars and the importance of confidence, not only in prison, but in life.  We also talk about film, something Dariq is very passionate about.  He explains the different styles of movie directing – something I was not aware existed – and we also discuss some of his inspirations.  From piano, recording, to writing, we discuss the many art forms that Dariq has familiarized himself with over the years, and it is truly inspiring.  Be on the lookout for an Oscar-winning movie!<br>  <br> A few things you may notice.  I say Episode 4 in the intro but this is technically Episode 5.  This is what happens when you record until almost 3 in the morning – you lose track of time and who you are.  I also sound like I need to go to bed.  The interesting thing is I sound more tired at the beginning than I do near the end.  Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy the episode more than the lack of detail I showed to what episode I was on ;).<br>  <br>
