    JFK Jr, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, & the Love Story that Won’t Die

    Valentina joins Industry of Cool for a conversation that feels equal parts time capsule and fever dream. We dive into Love Story: JFK Jr. & Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and everything that makes it impossible to look away. From the haunting soundtrack to the obsessive detail behind the wardrobe and set design, recreated almost photograph by photograph.We talk about the casting, the mythology of the Kennedy family, and the lingering belief that John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy never really left?Valentina reads a letter Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis wrote about JFK, discovered through a Lana Del Rey music video, reminding us about the love they shared, very powerful and nostalgic.We close on a lighter note with the return of Laguna Beach, 22 years later, and somehow still part of the conversation.It’s reflective, chaotic, a little romantic, and very us.📲 Follow us:📌 Instagram Industry of Cool:   / industryofcool_pod  📌 Instagram Valeria Zea:   / valezea7  📌 Instagram Cultura TV:   / culturatvofficial

    Inside the Mind of An Actor, Daniel Frias

    In our first online episode of Industry of Cool, we’re joined by actor Daniel Frias, whose path into acting was anything but traditional. From coaching basketball to moving countries and starting from zero. We talk about his journey, his mindset as an actor, stepping into “El Marqués” in Sal De Mi Playlist, and one of the films that shaped him, Scarface. It’s honest, a little fearless, and a reminder that sometimes the best decisions don’t make sense…until they do.📲 Follow us:📌 Instagram Industry of Cool: https://www.instagram.com/industryofcool_pod/📌 Instagram Valeria Zea: https://www.instagram.com/valezea7/📌 Instagram Cultura TV: https://www.instagram.com/culturatvofficial/ 📲 Guest Daniel Frias:📌 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danielfriasfaas

A mitad del episodio recibimos una llamada sorpresa de la mamá más cool — mi mamá, Angela.
