In the modern age, sharing your art with a wide audience is more accessible than ever. The “starving artist” doesn’t reall y have  to struggle in the same way, but instead they can market and deliver their work directly to the masses.

With art being so widely available and constantly 2inches from our faces, do we still value it the same way we did before the age of the internet?

The tools we use to create have been put into everyone’s fingertips. The door has opened for more people and as a result has created a firey passion to create. It’s also raised questions about what it truly means to be a creator. 

Join Justin on the latest episode of the LeisureHub Podcast alongside his guest Spence as they break down how we view art now versus then. Grab your paintbrush and tune in.

ver the past few years, video has become one of the most prominent ways consumers engage with everything from their favorite memes to the brand's marketing to them. It’s become such an integral part of the digital experience that most websites now incorporate some form of video into the user journey.

Websites have shifted from a “tell” experience to a “show” experience, and the goal is to capture your audience’s attention as quickly as possible. A strong demo reel or brand video can absolutely elevate a site. Still, great design, intentional user flow, and a thoughtful layout are what truly bring everything together to create something special for both your brand and your customers.

Join Justin on the latest episode of the LeisureHub Podcast alongside his guest, Brandon, as they break down what makes a compelling website and why video production has become such an important asset. Open up Figma and let’s start designing.

What if I told you that you could improve your swing, predict where your ball will end up, or see your swing speed all in real time? Golf, like many other sports, has evolved. Between the rules and regulations, the strategies, and even the tech, playing golf has never been more accessible. A variety of world-class technologies has been added to improve more than just your swing, but your focus level as well. Different technologies like AR/VR, smart golf balls, AI, and even neurofeedback devices have come together to improve golf and the players involved.

Join Justin on the latest episode of the LeisureHub Podcast with guest Nelson as they swing their way into finding the silver lining between tradition and an overabundance of tech in golf. Grab your 9-iron and tune into this session.

Prior to the internet, movies, TV shows, and music could make it past a few days. When you experience a cultural phenomenon, the interest in the latest media would last for weeks, sometimes even months.

With the rise of the internet and social media, that cycle has sped up dramatically. People experience a major event in a matter of days, and before you know it, they are already on to the next. More often than not, songs are reduced to a 15-second clip and labeled as a “TikTok song,” without listeners ever exploring or hearing the full track or album.

TikTok has become this generation’s version of Fortnite, where moments quickly rise, suck you in, and disappear without a trace.

On the latest episode of the LeisureHub Podcast, Justin and his guest, Jon, explore how pop culture has progressed over the years and how the people consuming it have fundamentally changed.

Starting a business is hard enough. It takes time, dedication, and consistency to make it work, and many people give up along the way or watch their business fail. Now, with AI in the mix, expectations have shifted. People want products and projects created, developed, and implemented in the shortest time possible, and for a human, that pace is often unrealistic.

AI has created the illusion of quick results with minimal effort. At the same time, consumers are asking for more authenticity, and when they discover AI has been used without transparency, all hell breaks loose.

So how are startups supposed to thrive in these conditions?

Join Justin on the latest episode of the LeisureHub Podcast as he sits down with his new guest, Ben, to break down the pros and cons of using AI in business.

The hardest part of anything is getting started. When it comes to chasing your goals, the formula is simple: you just have to begin.

Today, creating content at a semi-professional level is more accessible than ever. The tools are already in your hands—your smartphone. If you’re unsure where to start, just start. Record, write, edit. No one naturally knows how to improve until they have something of their own to look back on and critique.

Over time, with small adjustments, feedback, and consistent effort, you’ll start to see progress. You’ll be better than you were yesterday. That’s the path most creators follow. They start by simply creating, then gradually refine their skills in editing, shooting, lighting, angles, and audio.

Join Justin on this episode of the LeisureHub Podcast, alongside guest Spence, as they explore the journey from beginner to more refined creator. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to start, this is it. Grab your camera and press record.

With more and more horror movies coming out in recent years, it almost feels like the genre has gotten a little stale. Between remakes of older films and sequels that continue stories we’ve already seen, not many have truly broken out to stand above the rest. However, indie filmmakers are breaking new ground.

With the release of Iron Lung, the newest film from Markiplier, it became clear that great horror movies can still be made on low budgets and with minimal settings. This film didn’t just catch the attention of fans. It showed audiences and Hollywood alike that creativity still wins.

Indie films are the ones pushing real change in horror, and they’re doing it for the better.

In the latest episode of the LeisureHub Podcast, Justin and his guest, Brandon,   discuss horror movies today and how indie filmmakers are creating a new wave. Grab your blanket and your stuffed animal. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.

You scroll, swipe, like, chat and date with hopes that you’ll find a partner that will match you in every way. The concept sounds easy enough so then why is it such a challenge for people to meet another person that will take a relationship seriously? You meet others and friends that have successfully made it happen and yet you hear from a large pull of individuals that Hinge, Tinder and Bumble are using your desire for companionship against you for more money.

If you can’t meet people online, and people don’t want to meet in person, then where does love lie?

On this episode of the LeisureHub Podcast, Justin and his guest Jon discuss how dating online has declined and maybe how to maneuver the dating world.

Barbershops used to be the hangout spot for many locals, not just for a quick haircut or to clean up for a wedding. They used to be a community hub where people could stop in, hang out, or even where kids would stop in and grab candy. With booking online or calling in for a haircut, it seems like that sense of community has been lost. Some could even say the classic barbershop experience is fading. Or is it really just evolving?

With a barbershop on almost every corner, competition has only increased, but faithful customers stay with their favorite barber regardless of culture or price changes. So is there more to a barbershop?

Ask around and everyone will give you a different reason for why they show up. For some, it’s the taste. For others, it’s the ritual. But there’s something beneath it all worth talking about: why does pairing a hard run with a high-calorie drink work so well? Maybe it’s the balance. Maybe it’s a community. Maybe it’s the simple joy of earning something together. Whatever it is, it says a lot about why adults cling to hobbies that let us feel connected, even in small ways.

Conspiracies range from completely unbelievable to uncomfortably close to reality.

With Hollywood running short on fresh ideas, we’ve seen a growing wave of “based on a true story” media. Real-life events are becoming the go-to source for new movies and shows, on streaming platforms. And while this trend is pulling in viewers and boosting watch time, there’s big question remains:

How true are these stories, really?

What parts are genuine, and what parts are polished, exaggerated, or rewritten just to make the plot hit harder?

On this episode of the LeisureHub Podcast, Justin and his guest Austin, dig into the storytelling behind “true story” media — what gets changed, why we crave these true stories, and what it says about how we consume entertainment today. Open your streaming app of choice, and enjoy.

In most bands, the spotlight goes straight to the singer. They’re front and center, so it makes sense. Then you’ve got the guitarists, who usually grab whatever attention is left. But tucked in the back — not quiet, not subtle, and definitely not replaceable — sits the drummer. They’re often the most overlooked member of the group, even though they shape the feel of the music and quietly influence the kind of songs we end up loving.

Join Justin on this episode of the LeisureHub Podcast, along with guest Matt, as they break down the heartbeat behind every track. They dig into why rhythm plays a bigger role in your music taste than you might think, and why drummers carry far more weight in a band than people like to admit. It’s a conversation built on perspective, respect for the craft, and a closer look at the players who keep everything moving.

Horror, comedy, and action are staples of the movie business and deliver some of the scariest, most action-packed moments in entertainment culture. Despite being some of the most loved genres by audiences, many films fall short for a number of reasons, such as runtime, character development, storytelling, and world-building.

Yep, Christmas is back in full force, and All I Want for Christmas Is You is about to hit you like a rogue snowball to the face. This is the season where we spend hours hunting for the perfect gifts for friends and family, only to realize that somehow, every year, Christmas gets a little more expensive.

There’s a point in your 30s when you realize your “younger self” set a bar that’s tough to reach. Whether it’s running as fast, recovering as quickly, or just finding the energy to stay active after work, the competition isn’t with others anymore — it’s with who you used to be.

In this episode of the LeisureHub Podcast, Justin and his newest guest, Dimitri, dive into what it really means to keep up with your younger self. From the physical reality of slowing down to the mental challenge of accepting change, we explore why so many adults struggle with balancing nostalgia and growth. Are we trying to relive our glory days, or redefine what being “in shape” means today?

A lot of us carve out time in the summer, or even randomly throughout the year, for a weekend trip or a longer getaway. We head to new towns, cities, states, or countries to see something different, meet new people, and spend time with the ones we care about.

But somewhere along the way, trip planning turns into trip managing. We map out every stop, every meal, every outfit. And while there’s nothing wrong with being prepared, sometimes all that planning takes the fun out of it. Do we really need to control every detail, or is it okay to just figure things out as we go?

In this episode of the LeisureHub Podcast, Justin is joined by Thomas, a longtime road tripper who knows a thing or two about traveling with a minimalist mindset. Together unpack why the best travel moments often come from what you didn’t plan, and whether a “perfect trip” actually exists.

Pack light, mentally and literally, and come hang out for a conversation that might change how you approach your next adventure.

With the rise of anime, creators are under more pressure than ever to craft compelling stories and release new episodes in record time. Thanks to social media and shorter attention spans, fans expect their favorite shows or manga to drop on a weekly basis, but is that pace really sustainable?

In many cases, a manga takes years to complete. Meanwhile, studios start the anime adaptation before the manga even finishes, and before long, the anime catches up, or even surpasses, the source material. With no original content left to adapt to, studios are forced to create what’s known as filler episodes, which don’t always sit well with fans.

So the question then becomes: should a manga be completed before its anime adaptation begins to avoid these problems?

Join Justin on the latest episode of the LeisureHub Podcast, along with his friend and guest Adam, as they debate whether anime adaptations should wait until the story is fully told. Animate yourself and tune in to the discussion!

Flip the Halloween coin, but before you toss it, take your pick: Trick or Treat?! Growing up, trick-or-treating was a staple for kids across the country. From dressing up as a favorite character to eating your weight in candy. As we get older, that love for trick-or-treating doesn’t fade away; it just changes shape to fit our adult lives.

There may not be a night where adults go door-to-door under a full moon collecting candy, but plenty of traditions have taken its place: costume parties, Halloween bar crawls, contests, and more. So if you could create your own “adult version” of trick-or-treating, what would it be and what would you want instead of candy?

From high school to college, both educational paths aim to prepare you for the next step in pursuing a career. However, if there’s one thing they have in common, it’s that they don’t actually prepare you for the real world or even your next step in education.

However, it’s often labeled as overrated, thanks to the flood of pumpkin spice lattes and oversized cozy sweaters. In this episode of the LeisureHub podcast, Justin and Pedro go beyond the apple-cider donuts to explore some of the best ways to make this fall as memorable as that Pumpkin Pecan Waffles candle from Bath & Body Works in your living room. We’ll cover both outdoor and indoor activities, so there are no excuses for you and your friends to flake (Is "flake" even still a thing?). Join us as we discuss and unravel the best activities for fall and help you discover your next autumn traditions with family and friends.

Every game has bought a physical copy at some point in their life, whether it be Bestbuy, Target, Walmart, Amazon or even GAMESTOP!! Every kid growing up begged their parents to take them to GameStop to buy the latest game, trade in a game for points or even buy a used game. GameStop’s stock has been falling sharply with the rise of digital content and was set to crumble in 2020. So the question now is How the hell is GameStop still alive?! Join Justin and Pedro as they question this miracle. Remember to stay in business and tune into the latest LeisureHub Podcast episode.

Hobbies come and go in phases, and sometimes they even blow up into something that used to have less popular implications. It takes only one show, activity, or hobby for others to catch the wind. Anime is one of those hobbies that has had a following for a long time and suddenly grows into more than just a specific niche. That begs the question, what gives, and when did it become so popular? Join Justin and Pedro as they animate and tune themselves to the pop of Anime.
