If you've been thinking about Mexico City, this is the episode you need. Joc sits down with Mark, Founder and CEO of VisaMapAI and a key member of the Move CDMX team, and they get into everything: what it's really like being Black in CDMX, the comedy scene Mark is literally building from the ground up, Art Week, the Kanye concert that had the city buzzing, and even watching the Super Bowl halftime show from Mexico. Mark shares how he turned a potluck in his home into Comedy Kickback and eventually booked KevinOnStage, a comedian from the U.S., to perform in CDMX. He breaks down how VisaMapAI helps you find better visa options beyond the H-1B with personalized recommendations in minutes. They talk about navigating life abroad, building real community in one of the hottest expat destinations right now, and why CDMX has become a hub for Black travelers and digital nomads looking to live their best lives. Whether you're stuck in visa limbo, planning your move, or just CDMX curious, this conversation will give you the real talk and the tools you need to make your next move. Stop dreaming and start planning because the community is already there waiting for you.

For Black History Month this year, Joc sits down with Joseph Landon, founder of JoJo's Ventures, and they get straight into it: Black history IS American history, and if you don't know that by now, this conversation will set you straight. They talk about the Great Migration and how it shaped New York City, the reality of gentrification pushing out the very communities that built the culture, and how JoJo's Trip Advisor award-winning tours are reclaiming the narrative. With NYC's 200th anniversary on the horizon, they break down what it means to preserve history, honor legacy, and use tourism as a tool for cultural upliftment. From the streets of Harlem to the stories that don't make it into textbooks, this episode is a masterclass in why knowing where we came from matters.

Y'all, this one gets heavy and real. Joc kicks things off talking about the ghettoness happening in the States right now: the wild weather, travel bans, and the situation in Minnesota that got everybody on edge. But then he switches it up and takes us to Guatemala for the first time. He breaks down his experience in Antigua, the vibes there, and gets into what it was like hiking Volcano Acatenango. From the chaos back home to finding peace and perspective abroad, this episode is about why we travel, especially when things at home feel impossible. If you needed a reminder that the world is bigger than what's happening in your backyard, press play.
