In this episode of The RJ Ledesma Podcast, I sit down with creator-entrepreneur, content creator, and fellow podcaster Acushla "Killa Kush" Obusan—who also happens to be my niece. After building a sizable social media following and launching her own podcast, The Bad Bitch Bible, she transformed her personal brand into a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem.

What started with buying and selling clothes from Thailand has grown into multiple successful ventures, including Good Media Agency, a 360-degree influencer marketing and events agency; Good Gang, the team behind popular flea markets, thrift events, and community experiences; and Another Tub, her viral pudding business that now sells around 1,000 tubs every month. In our conversation, she shares how she built her audience, turned followers into customers, leveraged social media to grow real businesses, and the lessons she's learned scaling multiple brands in today's creator economy.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, business owner, or aspiring content creator, this episode is packed with practical insights on building a personal brand, creating community, and turning influence into a sustainable business.

Can taking a nap actually make you a better entrepreneur?

For years, we've been told that success belongs to those who hustle the hardest, sleep the least, and stay busy around the clock. But what if that's exactly what's holding us back?

In this episode of The RJ Ledesma Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Shakti Katyal, founder of Real n Royal, former finance professional, entrepreneur, author, and advocate of what he calls the "Million Dollar Nap."

We discuss why so many entrepreneurs end up becoming prisoners of the very businesses they built, how burnout quietly affects decision-making and business growth, and why strategic rest may actually be one of the most underrated competitive advantages in entrepreneurship.

More importantly, we explore the difference between making money and achieving true financial freedom, why some high achievers never feel wealthy despite their success, and how entrepreneurs can build sustainable businesses without sacrificing their health, relationships, and peace of mind.

Whether you're a founder, executive, business owner, or simply someone striving for success, this conversation may challenge everything you thought you knew about productivity, wealth, and performance.

What if the most valuable currency in the future isn't money, data, or even AI?

What if it's trust?

In an age of misinformation, digital fraud, deepfakes, and AI-generated content, the ability to verify what is real may become one of the most important challenges of our time.

That's exactly the mission behind BYC Ventures.

In this episode of The RJ Ledesma Podcast, I sit down with Paul Soliman, one of the country's pioneers in emerging technologies, and Gelo Wong, recently recognized in the Forbes Asia 30 Under 30 Class of 2026, for a fascinating conversation about building the infrastructure of trust in a digital world. Together, they share how they are helping governments, institutions, and enterprises verify information, improve transparency, and create systems where truth can be independently proven rather than simply assumed.

But beyond the technology, this is really a story about entrepreneurship.

Why dedicate your life to solving a problem that most people don't even realize exists?

How do you build a company around a mission that is bigger than profits?

And what does leadership look like when you're not just building a business, but helping shape the future of trust itself?

This conversation goes beyond startups, blockchain, and technology. It's about vision, impact, and the courage to tackle some of society's most difficult problems.

Because while technology will continue to evolve, trust will always remain the foundation upon which progress is built.
