A Season of Gratitude: KSSU DJs Share What They’re Grateful For This Year
It’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of daily life—work deadlines, college assignments, family responsibilities, and even just the occasional rough day can make it hard to appreciate the positives. But practicing gratitude can genuinely transform our outlook and even improve our overall well-being. And no, you don’t have to go big or over the top; it’s often the small, everyday things that can make the biggest impact.
The 1% Flow: Overcoming the Fear of Failure
In another powerful episode of The 1% Flow Podcast, we tackle a topic that affects everyone at some point: the fear of failure. Fear of failure is one of the biggest obstacles to achieving greatness, as it holds people back from taking risks, pursuing their passions, and pushing the limits of their potential. But here on The 1% Flow, we believe that failure is not something to be feared but embraced as a valuable part of the journey to success.
The Benefits of Volunteering
As the season of gratitude and giving approaches, I’d like to take a moment to share my thoughts on volunteering, and why it’s so important.
The 1% Flow: Exploring the Power of Authenticity in a Filtered World
In the latest episode of The 1% Flow Podcast, we dive into a topic that resonates deeply in today’s social media-driven world: authenticity. With filters, curated feeds, and the pressure to present a flawless version of ourselves online, many people are losing sight of what it means to be real. This episode tackles the importance of showing up as your true self in a world that constantly tries to mold you into something else.
It’s Time To Change Children’s Literature
Growing up, my nose was always buried in a book. Reading was my escape, my bridge to other worlds. Unlike today’s generation of iPad kids and endless scrolling on social media, books were my go-to distraction. They offered a sense of adventure and wonder that, in my opinion, no screen could match.
The 1% Flow: The Art of Self-Awareness
Self-awareness is one of the most powerful tools for growth, both personally and professionally. On The 1% Flow Podcast, we believe that self-awareness is essential for anyone trying to reach their full potential. It’s about understanding who you are, recognizing your strengths and weaknesses, and being honest about where you need to improve. This episode dives deep into the concept of self-awareness as the cornerstone of personal and professional development.
The 1% Flow: Cultural Capital — Using Your Identity as a Superpower
On October 24th, The 1% Flow Podcast explored a topic that’s close to home for many of our listeners—how your cultural identity can be one of your greatest assets. In a world where Black and Brown voices are often underrepresented, we discussed the concept of “cultural capital” and how your background and experiences can be a unique advantage, not a disadvantage.
The 1% Flow: Commitment vs. Consistency
In today’s episode of The 1% Flow, we dived into a topic that resonates with everyone: commitment versus consistency. These two concepts are often talked about together, but they’re not the same thing. Commitment is the decision you make when you say, “I’m going to do this.” But consistency? That’s the action of doing it every day, regardless of how you feel or what obstacles come your way.
Liam Payne’s Passing: A Heartbreaking Loss for Fans and Loved Ones
I’ve been a One Direction fan for as long as I can remember. From the moment I was 12, I had everything One Direction—posters covering my walls, CDs playing on repeat, pillows and blankets that made me feel closer to them. They were the first band I was truly obsessed with. Their songs were the soundtrack to my teenage years, and Liam Payne was always a central part of that magic. So when I heard the news of his passing, it felt like a punch to the gut.
The 1% Flow: Breaking Down the 48 Laws of Power
On August 29th, The 1% Flow podcast kicked off with an episode centered around Robert Greene’s The 48 Laws of Power. The book is famous for its bold, often controversial insights into power dynamics, manipulation, and influence. However, in this episode, we took a different approach by looking at how these “laws” can be applied to everyday life, particularly for young Black professionals, college students, and anyone striving for personal and professional growth.
The 1% Flow: Shark Tale Episode
In this episode of The 1% Flow, we dive into an animated film you might not think of as a source of life lessons—Shark Tale. The movie, with its humor and catchy music, is a childhood favorite for many, but we’re peeling back the layers to explore some of its deeper messages. Shark Tale is about much more than colorful fish and undersea adventures—it’s a story about chasing dreams, self-worth, and learning the hard way that being someone you’re not can cost you everything.
The 1% Flow: Balance & Billie Episode
In this episode of The 1% Flow, we sit down with Billie, a young Black woman who’s balancing college, work, and entrepreneurship—all while staying connected to her passions and her culture. Billie is a business finance major at Sac State, but beyond the classroom, she’s someone with a deep love for music, fashion, and doing hair. Her story is one many of us can relate to—finding your own path while juggling multiple responsibilities and passions.

Why I Would Take a Mexican Restaurant to a Deserted Island
I had a friend tell me once that if I could take one thing with me to a deserted island, it would be a Mexican restaurant. That joke started because we were trying to decide where to eat and she kept suggesting asian cuisine and I kept suggesting Mexican. I am here to tell you why they will always be the elite night out experience in my mind.

The possibilities are endless.
