Feeling behind in your 20s, stuck in bed, or shattered after a breakup? In Be Somebody's first-ever Community Episode, Amadeo and Enrique go "beyond the couch" to talk real stories about loneliness, feeling purposeless, inconsiderate friends, and the kind of heartbreak that makes you cry to Frank Ocean. We break down how to rebuild your life when you feel like you’ve wasted years, how to confront a friend who's always taking and never giving, and how to survive an “amicable” breakup that still leaves you devastated. If you’ve ever felt stuck, invisible, or heartbroken, this is an honest conversation about habits, support systems, community, and choosing growth.- -Be Somebody is a global community of people chasing their full potential and supporting each other through it all.

*REUPLOAD*This episode is about creative persistence, delusion, and staying focused when the results aren't yet there. We unpack what happens when the breakthrough is right in front of you, then disappears.
