What is up y'all?
00:00
We have Bobby Alvarado,
00:01
a Cheetos. They have to way ambassador,
00:03
a very dope artist and Mu is joining us.
00:05
Let's go. Bobby.
00:06
Hey, Bobby, we made it.
00:12
Thank you for having me.
00:13
Oh yeah, of course.
00:14
Well, I just want to dive right in.
00:16
I see a lot of info behind you.
00:18
But how do you find inspiration every day?
00:21
My kids, they are little ones,
00:24
they're creative, they're just free,
00:26
you know, my kids,
00:29
my, you know,
00:29
give me my inspiration because they remind me of what I need
00:33
to do. Why I need to leave a mark,
00:35
you know, one day they're gonna have dreams and their
00:38
aspirations, you know,
00:39
they're gonna aspire to do things and I need to be leaving
00:42
proof to them that think anything could happen,
00:46
you know, you can do,
00:46
make anything happen. Well,
00:48
speaking of leaving your mark,
00:50
do you have any advice for those trying to leave their mark
00:54
Do it.
00:55
Yes. Do it.
00:57
What, whatever scale it's on big or small.
01:01
Just do it start today.
01:03
Don't hesitate. It takes a few drops,
01:07
you know, eventually to fill up a bucket.
01:09
You know what I mean?
01:09
So, I mean,
01:10
if you're gonna do something,
01:11
I think a lot of people have the good intentions but never
01:16
take that initial step to follow through.
01:18
So as long as you start,
01:20
you'll make it happen.
01:21
That's so true because I've always,
01:22
I, I think I saw it on Instagram or the capture
01:24
or something. It could either be your day,
01:26
one or one day.
01:28
Damn. Yeah. How are you putting it forward to your
01:30
community? How are you giving back?
01:32
I do my best to connect with the community,
01:35
local community, I would say by having a teaching moments or
01:41
advice when asked, you know what I mean?
01:42
I do my best to let them know just from life experiences
01:46
You know what I mean?
01:46
What I've done to get where I'm at and,
01:49
you know, kind of encourage people like that motivational speaker in
01:52
a sense, you know what I mean?
01:53
And what did it mean to you to be selected as a
01:56
Cheetos de had to Waya Ambassador.
01:59
It really just means that now I really have to create,
02:01
to motivate and to inspire our youth.
02:07
I mean, they are our features.
02:08
So, you know,
02:09
now it's like people are actually watching,
02:12
pay, paying attention now,
02:14
you know, let's make it count,
02:15
you know what I mean?
02:16
Like, let's make every opportunity that we can get.
02:20
and, and seeing this firsthand,
02:21
you know, on tour connecting just on a,
02:25
on a very organic personal level with like people that would come
02:28
up to me during a mural session for the the
02:32
events. It's like they're sitting there going,
02:35
wait a minute. You're,
02:36
you're real, you're a human being.
02:38
You're, you know,
02:38
you're like me and,
02:39
and I can do this,
02:40
you know what I mean?
02:41
It's like, you know,
02:43
the answer is yes,
02:43
you can, you know what feelings do you want viewers to
02:46
feel when they see your art?
02:48
I want people to,
02:49
I, I feel that if I can get people to just
02:51
slow down, take a step back and appreciate the smaller things
02:56
I've done my job when you slow down.
02:59
I see really the only time that you get to think about
03:02
other people other than yourself,
03:03
you know. So if I could do that and they got
03:07
that feeling of, you know,
03:09
not just, wow,
03:10
that's cool, you know,
03:11
but actually sit,,
03:12
sit back and, and just take a breath and,
03:15
and, and appreciate something.
03:18
I think it paint,
03:19
it just broadens the horizon and just,
03:22
you know, it paints a different picture,
03:23
I guess you could say and,
03:24
and helps people to,
03:26
going to start thinking about others.
03:27
You know, I feel like we all need to slow down
03:29
a little bit. Sometimes it's ok to,
03:31
you know, and sometimes take a step back,
03:34
take a step in the moment.
03:36
Exactly. Sometimes you just need to just relax,
03:40
just enjoy what's around.
03:42
You. Just get a bag of hot Cheetos and just chill
03:49
