We recently connected with Jerry Carrillo and have shared our conversation below.

Jerry, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Do you wish you had started sooner?

If I could go back in time and tell myself that to take that risk and the idea of starting the podcast sooner. I would believe that things would be different, also have the chance to build growth of the podcast. Me and my close friend, who I now call a brother, name Marlon. Me and him been talking about starting a podcast while back in January of 2023, but we just didn’t have the equipment, the time, or the location of where we should do it because for me, I’m currently in college, both of us have work, basketball training and lastly, I’m a father of two kids and with being said, it’s a time crunch. We wanted to get started back then but of course we had that fear of being judged or make fun of. But now looking back at it, we wished we should have done it and took it to the chin and just post our first video, even now, when we first started our podcast channel in August of 2024 when we first posted our YouTube video for our podcast. We were nervous but very excited and so far, we saw our channel slowly growing in the YouTube community and it’s just a huge motivation for us to keep on going with our goals and tell future selves that we are proud that we did this decision.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

More little background of how we have gotten into do our podcast, Marlon have done gaming YouTube videos before back in high school times and as for me, I tend to watch these other podcasters named YSK (YouShouldKnow Podcast), they are entertaining to watch and listen. Overtime we been told we should do a podcast because me and Marlon tend to talk about random things that catches other people interest to listen or have debates about certain things and that was a light bulb for us both to start our podcast journey and name it HighTalksPodcast. The type of services we offering is entertainment for the audience to watch, we don’t believe we are different from other podcasters either, because their goals are the same as ours, where we try to build our fanbases up, reach out to people, meet others face to face and chance to do a meet and greet. The proudest moment we had was seeing our YouTube channel was slowly growing and we didn’t expect that. Reason why I say that is because we thought we would get small views and small subscribers, but to our surprise, we are happy to see we are growing slowly overtime in a 2-to-3-month period. What we want for our current fans and future fans to know that we are just 2 guys who one is high, and one is sober that has a lot of energy to talk about. We both have bigger ideas that we want to do down the road but of course we have to be patient with time to become successful.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

Our goals of this HighTalksPodcast are to reach fans and to have a chance to do a meet and greet and also to meet other podcasters and learn more about this social media business to create more options and opportunity. When people who want to start their own podcast, but don’t know how to start, we are willing to give advices to help people who want to start their own podcast and help grow their wings to the point they can fly on their own in the podcast world.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

The most rewarding aspect of being content creator is the ability to express emotion to the audience to have them understand if they been in that situation before or to know the story behind it and also being told that our podcast is enjoyable to watch.
