005: w/ my first actual stranger Doza Le Prince 👑🇵🇭🎤 filipino rapper from L.A. + asking: is it better to be single or to be married?

<p><strong>Co-Host: </strong>Anthony “Doza” Mendoza <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dozaleprince/">@dozaleprince</a> |<strong> Host: </strong>Xinyi Xan <a href="https://www.instagram.com/xinyixan/">@xinyixan</a></p> <ul> <li>All of Doza’s Socials &amp; Links: &nbsp;<a href="https://linktr.ee/dozaleprince">https://linktr.ee/dozaleprince</a></li> </ul> <p>Welcome back to Don't Be Strangers, a podcast and social experiment for learning to create meaningful connections together via collaborative conversations! My name's XinYi, and this is a huge milestone episode for me because when I started the project, knowing who I am and my propensity to be suddenly struck with a lightning bolt of an idea, fall madly in love with it, begin working on said idea feverishly like I'm possessed, then proceed to fall horribly out of love with it — I had promised myself to produce at least 5 episodes before seeing if I want to continue or to set aside this project. Well, this is episode 5, and I have about 8 more recordings scheduled in the next month or so... so I don't think I'll be stopping any time soon.</p> <p>The other reason why this episode is incredibly special is because this is the first true episode I recorded with an actual stranger. I had made a public post announcement in a Facebook group asking for co-hosts and Anthony Mendoza or "Doza" as we refer to him in this ep, graciously volunteered. I was super nervous, lol, but ultimately, it was super fun! In this conversation, we talk about (1) what villains we would want to be vs what villains we would most be like, (2) Doza's creative process as a rapper, (3) what we're currently struggling with in life, (4) the moment I realized I was old, and (5) is it better to be single or to be married, especially if you're really trying to focus on your career?</p> <p><a href="https://creativechimera.substack.com/p/dont-be-strangers-5" target="_blank"><strong>Full Questions &amp; Highlights [ Timestamp Index ] * Linked Here</strong></a></p> <p>And that's the scoop!
