A child of Haitian immigrants doesn’t often believe that a sustainable living as an artist is even conceivable. But, Jason "JaFleu" Fleurant is a prime example of a person breathing a dream to life one creative step at a time. And, it’s not all about courange for Jason (“JaFleu” as he is known in artistic circles).  No, it is simply his undeniable NEED to paint—to create—to express.  And his joy comes from living his emotions out loud on canvas for all the world to see and be moved by.

A community man, he finds ways to not only trail blaze for the people around him, but to inspire children to break to the expectations of their own lives.  He opens up their eyes and minds to possibilities, and opens their hearts to their dreams.

JaFleu is an inspiration to his neighborhood, the Haitian community, and humanity as a whole!  Find and follow him on:

Zach Rance is a great example of a person living out loud, in the moment, and 100% as himself.  From deciding to enter the world of “reality” television in the Big Brother house to now putting much of his life on a live stream through younow.com, what you see with Zach is what you get.  He speaks his mind, wears emotions on his sleeve, and doesn’t give a crap what people think.

What I find most fascinating about Zach, however, is how determined he is to build his own successes and how he has thought outside the box to do it!  Though he didn’t strategize for his #BB16 afterlife before going into the house, through using social media and capitalizing on his creative thinking, Zach has managed to maintain and build his online following of fans, affectionately referred to as “Zacharoos.” On this podcast, he shows these fans much love, talks a bit about his family, lets out some feelings about the House, and much more.  Though his passion may come across a bit rough around the edges, Zach is a true sweetheart with a genuine spirit.

I’m a big fan of Zach’s belief of being himself and working hard to keep his momentum going.  With his putting out music, entertaining his fans daily, and crafting his debut book, it is hard to imagine looking back several years from now and not seeing Zach as a fully accomplished, self-made man.  He is on a skyrocket right to the top! Find him on SnapChat, Twitter, and Instagram as @RanceyPants!

Holy cannoli, #KVJNation!  I am sooo happy to bring you this anniversary treat: a BONUS Curve the Cube podcast episode especially for you!!  We started a campaign a year ago to bring back our favorite morning radio show, the KVJ Show, and WON!  So, though this audio was recorded at the South Florida Fair back in January, its release (and Kevin Rolston’s permission to finally do so) is just perfectly timed!  So, what happens when you combine Kevin, a voice recorder, and a fiesty KVJ Nation interviewer named Shawntai?  GREAT audio!

After hearing this, there should be no more doubt or naysaying as to the Show’s motivation (and NEED) to make a move to Miami. As ill-fated as it was, Kevin makes it clear that it was the Show’s and their fans’ BEST option.  In the end, we got them back to the Palm Beaches.  So, that other broadcasting company really missed out.  But, thank you to Palm Beach Broadcasting and 97.9 WRMF for bringing back our crazy radio family. Kevin chants for fan and makes a really incredible deal with KVJ Nation Terry that you won’t believe!!!

Candice Hoyes is a classically trained jazz singer born in Jamaica, raised in Florida, and exploding onto the New York jazz scene.  Equally elegant and strong, Candice’s voice is charismatic and intriguing; and, in her debut album, On a Turquoise Cloud, she sings like a melodic ribbon carefully woven through and dancing with the big band jazz instruments accompanying her.

Having known her since we were kids, it was always a privilege to see and hear Candice perform.  Her voice is simply magnificent; but, catching up with her now was amazing!  For her album, she didn’t just choose easy standards or even the most known songs from her muse, Duke Ellington.  Nope…  Not this Candice Hoyes!  She did her research and found some rare Duke Ellington tracks that could express her musical journey in an innovative way.  The album is complete in its offerings of a fully-executed concept, highly talented and accomplished instrumental accompaniments, and stunningly eclectic vocals.  On this podcast, she talks about the experiences that developed her as an artist, her choices in developing her voice and album, and the adventures through the New York music scene.

She isn't just out of this world; Candice Hoyes is #?OnATurquoiseCloud! Be sure to check out her debut album on iTunes or Google Play!

Holy salacious podcast!!! Estelle and Dejane are two AMAZING ladies from the Palm Beach Broadcasting Street Team!  The Street Team are the peeps behind all the fun at radio-driven events like Beer Fest and Our Kids World, regular show appearances at various venues, and some REALLY huge concerts, like No Snow Ball.  Let’s just say, their job is AWESOME!!!

On this podcast, they talk about why they chose this career path, getting their foot in the door with Palm Beach Broadcasting, and all they see for themselves in their future.  They share which celebrity made them feel like family and all the goings-on that happens behind the scenes of all the cool places and events that give Florida so much of its life!

Speaking of life, these girls do NOT hold back in discussing their personal lives. Wow… Ok, truth be told, neither do I; and, apparently, when you get the three of us together, the dirty details fly!  This is a podcast that will leave your head spinning and your belly soar from laughs!
