On the Mic with Joe Cee.

On The Mic With Joe Cee -Episode #22 with Diego Mendoza DTB

In this episode, I sit down with my guy Diego Mendoza, a 27-year-old from South Central LA who could’ve easily been another statistic—but chose a different path. We talk about growing up in the heart of LA, surrounded by gangs and survival mentality, and how Diego made the decision to break the cycle and chase something bigger. He shares how he went from barber school to yard sale flipping, and how investing over $22K into his podcast setup was just part of his bigger vision. We get into real convo about booth rent vs commission, what barbers get wrong about the business model, and how BOTH barbers and owners need to understand their legal responsibilities. If you’re in the industry or thinking about opening your own shop, this one’s full of insight. We also touch on podcast growth, AI tools, branding, why your 30s and 40s can be your prime, and how legacy matters more than clout. — 💬 Diego drops this gem near the end: “Whatever you want to do, just go for it. 100 years from now, no one’s gonna care — so don’t waste the time you have.” —
🔥 Topics We Cover: • Growing up in South Central and choosing a different path • Barber school hustle + yard sale flips to pay the bills • Getting robbed during a Craigslist meetup • The truth behind booth rent vs commission • Creating new pricing models based on value, not tradition • Investing $22K+ into podcasting + what he’s learned • Using tools like CapCut, AutoPod, Premiere Pro & Opus Clip • How to get sponsors + his view on branding for the long game • Why your 30s and 40s can be the best years of your life • The balance between content, purpose, and passion —

El Precioso Privilegio De Estar Vivo: leyendo estoicismo de Marcus Aurelios Parte 2

En la segunda parte de mi entrevista con mi buen amigo y barbero, Cruz Gabriel, profundizamos en los peligros que enfrentan los negocios en México, incluyendo la amenaza de extorsión, que lo llevó a dejar su país, donde ya tenía su propia barbería. Utilizando citas del filósofo Marco Aurelio, discutimos temas de cómo nos juzgamos a nosotros mismos en comparación con los demás, el milagro y privilegio de estar vivos, la importancia de vivir en el presente, la diferencia entre vivir y sobrevivir, y cómo la mentalidad lo es todo.

Hablar De Lo Que Piensas, Cambia Lo Que Piensas:agradeciendo bendiciones y creando una nueva vida P1

En este episodio del podcast, tuve a mi buen amigo y barbero del Clip Joint de Covina, Cruz Gabriel, quien dejó su vida en Tecate, México, en donde ya tenía su propia barbería y estaba bien establecido, debido a la incertidumbre del país y el peligro que acompaña tener un negocio exitoso. Hablamos sobre su viaje para convertirse en barbero y las oportunidades que esta carrera le ha brindado en México y ahora en este país. También abordamos temas como la decisión de dejar su país natal y cómo tomar ventaja de las oportunidades que los Estados Unidos presenta, la importancia de ser vulnerable con los amigos y familia, y el valor de autoconocimiento. Además, exploramos los desafíos de enfrentar una barrera del idioma y el reto de empezar desde cero en un nuevo lugar. Gracias por escuchar.
