Axel sits down with Carlo Lupercio, a first-gen creative who went from corporate PR to building his own influencer management agency. They talk about growing up first-gen, navigating college and corporate spaces without a roadmap, and the pressure to chase stability over passion. Carlo opens up about losing a job, redefining success, and choosing to build something rooted in his values. Today, he’s the founder of Lupercio Media, an agency centered on uplifting Latino, women, and LGBTQIA+ creators. It’s honest, grounding, and a reminder that trusting yourself can be the biggest pivot of all.

Axel gets into Latino holiday chisme, the loud, loving, slightly toxic kind we all know too well. He talks chaotic family questions, unsolicited opinions, dinner debates, and the unspoken rules that somehow show up every year. Through listener stories and hot takes, he unpacks the humor and the holiday traditions, especially through a first-gen lens. It’s funny, honest, and reflective, a reminder that messy families can still be loving families, and that protecting your peace is part of growing up.
