Emilio Sparks is a radio personality, producer, and podcaster who has seen more good fortune and breaks come his way through his life so far and has built up a cult fanbase of average joes and industry insiders alike. But being able to be involved in cool projects and become friends with higher-ups in an industry you love possibly only gets you so far when you keep weighing it over the idea of taking more steady work that pays well, but that might not be your passion. That's the central theme of today's episode. While we do jump around a little, I hope that by the time you finish this episode you will have perhaps a newfound understanding of what it's like to hustle and want to do what you want on your own terms and the choices you have to make along the way.   Episode recaps at www.daps.tv   www.emiliosparks.com Wrassle Rap Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wrassle-rap-emilio-sparks/id1152653766?mt=2 Twitter: @EmilioSparks Twitter: @MightyVin Facebook.com/atwvf soundcloud.com/udachi   Next Episode
