I am the Narrative | The Safe Room w/ Special Guest: Jeff Carpio (Kamuni)

Send us Fan MailThis episode has so much significance to it because, in the history of The Safe Room, this is the first in-person interview I've done for the podcast. This conversation was utterly open with no structure whatsoever, but it made it so much better to enjoy the moment for what it was. I'm finally back with another episode of The Safe Room Podcast with my special guest, an individual I've been watching for a while, the creative and excellent Jeff Carpio, or you may know him as Kamuni. He is a creator and YouTuber who uses elements of himself to create innovative ideas, videos, and imagery that speaks to powerful messages personally and on a broad scale. This isn't his first appearance on the podcast; Go back into the archives of The Safe Room, and you'll find him on the early goings of the podcast. Over time, Jeff has grown from his past struggles and has shaped his work to have a purpose, finding happiness within it. Our discussion went into so many avenues of retrospective and therapeutic levels of advice and sharing knowledge. We covered a range of topics: How important is the content we as creators share with our audience and on social media platforms, The practice/environment of toxic masculinity, overcoming insecurities that have been symbolized through social norms, Going into the latest music in 2022 and touching on the purpose music brings from a listener's perspective, Unpacking the events of the Will Smith/Chris Rock scuffle at the 2022 Oscars, and ending off with finding happiness with the work you do as a creator. It's a lot to take in, but Jeff and I have a blast doing so. In addition, that all of this happened in person just made it a memorable moment that will stay within the history of The Safe Room. I couldn't ask for a better guest to hit this remarkable milestone this short into the podcast's run.If you want to check out Jeff on social media, here's where you should go:Instagram: @wasup.pontiacTwitch: @kamuniiiYoutube: Kamuni Follow up on all his upcoming videos and projects and support local creators.Listen to the official soundtrack to The Safe Room Podcast "First Lady" by yours truly.
