Hey Fam!!! Julia and I went to Expo West last week and walked the show for the first time. If you didn’t know, Expo West is the biggest food trade-show in the world and it was amazing for us because we started up a healthy snack brand 6 months ago called RJ Naturals. Our current product is called Nature’s Candy Bar and these were the bars Julia made for me during my cancer treatments!
We learned so much last week and met some amazing people. I vlogged each day and already uploaded part 1! I’ll be uploading part 2 (day 2 tomorrow) and more later in the week. Hope you guys enjoy and hope we can get our products in stores all over the country soon for you to try. We are currently in a couple of local coffee shops and sell at fitness/wellness events. 🙏
I haven't posted on YouTube for a while, but I want to let you know that your boy has been thriving and living to the fullest. I'm officially now 1 YEAR IN REMISSION and i've gotta say that 2024 was definitely a self-discovery type of year. My wife and I started a new business, RJ Naturals, which is a healthy snack brand that has been blowing up in our community and we are now operating from a commercial kitchen selling at coffee shops and local gyms. As y'all know, Julia was my caregiver while I was going through aggressive chemotherapy and she made these incredible clean date bars that were only whole food ingredients packed with so much nutrition to help me recover. I had the crazy idea of turning it into a business in order to share it with the world because I know it will help others like it did me.. And to also to bring cleaner snacks to the market because when I was going through treatments, all the snacks at your "healthy" stores were still filled with chemicals, seed oils, and just nasty things we don't need to put in our bodies.
But yeah, I've just been super busy with RJ Naturals and also with my music. It's been an awesome ride keeping myself busy while staying healthy at the same time. I'm still working out daily, practicing gratitude, and spreading that love. I hope to share more of my journey with y'all in 2025 and finally drop some new official music. I will still be documenting and sharing my health journey because it is still a lot of hard work and I hope to motivate more people to thrive to be the healthiest versions of themselves.
Thank you all for riding with me in 2024 and for all the support, prayers, and love. I wish you nothing but more blessings in 2025! Happy New Year!
Hey, Fam! It's been a couple of months since I uploaded a video on here. I hope you have been doing great! I've been locked in with my fitness, catching up with friends, working on music, and building my businesses. I'm now about 8 months in remission and the recovery process has been challenging, but rewarding. I'll have a cancer journey update video for you guys soon. Love y'all!
Happy Father’s Day to my Pops and all the amazing Dads out there! 🫶
Also sending love to:
+ Those who lost their dad + Dads that lost their child (ren) + Dads who are doing it alone + Those hoping to become a dad + Bonus dads + Dads with mental or chronic illness and disability
Cancer has really taught me that I cannot take care of others unless I take care of myself first. 4 months in remission and I have been prioritizing my health physically and mentally. Feeling pretty damn good. I’ll never regret the hard work.
First time in 3 months since I had bloodwork done! Used to have it biweekly for almost a year. Seeing my oncologist next week and curious to see if my levels are back to normal since I don't have the white booster injection anymore. 🙏
Sup, Fam?! Just released a new song today called, Richer. It's available on my music channel and all streaming platforms including Spotify and Apple Music. It feels good to be putting music out again. Love y'all.
How you doing, Fam? New vlog going live later today at 5:30pm pst! Hit that notification bell on my channel so you don't miss it.
I'm at home right now getting ready for an acupuncture appointment. My lower back's been killing me lately especially at night when I rest, so I'm trying to ease that. Also got weird aches throughout my whole body and my right thigh seems to be getting more annoying each day. I gotta remember that I'm only about 2 months out of chemo and that my body is still recovering from all that trauma. The health anxiety is real though. Haha. But when I count my blessings and remember to trust God, the gratitude is realer.
Please let me know what kind of topics/videos y'all would like to see from me in the future. Love y'all so much!
I’m blessed to make it to another year and grateful for a fresh start. Not gonna lie though, today is really triggering as I’ve been dealing with a lot of survivor’s guilt lately. These feelings are all new to me and I’m still learning how to cope after cancer. It might be a mental battle I’ll have to face for a while, but a good friend of mine that’s a survivor told me that gratitude and anxiety cannot co-exist. So today, I will try my best to be as grateful as I can be. I love you all so much and I’ll never take your love for granted. 🙏
