In Part 1 We talk about Jho’s new venture Artcation. Artcation was an idea that started 6 years ago and now their 1st trip will be to Guatemala later this year. She talks about how being the co-host of the Bliss Seekers and hearing the guests stories, inspired her to take action and get Artcation going. We talk about her 1st solo trip to Guatemala, where she learned about the non-profit “The Niños de Guatemala” a school which helps poor children. She wants to use her gifts of photography and media to give them what they need which is media.

We talk about Jho growing up in the Bay Area and how she got into photography. She talks about after her nephew was born she got a feeling of “never wanting to miss anything.” She started with an iPhone and from then on it started building and building to a professional camera and eventually a passion. She talks about photography being not just a photo talent but using social skills and putting herself out there. She believes photography is a mixture of psychology, social skills and talent. And it’s a lifetime journey for her. She also talks about her being single help her focus and nurture her passions.

Jho passionately talks about photography and how important it is to catch important moments in time. And how because of smart phones we just take tons of photos and photo albums have become extinct. She talks about how she wants to pull away from this she’s now becoming more intentional when taking photos. We also talk about how she wants to use her gifts and talents to help others and how growing up poor in the Philippines and being raised by a single mother in the US has never let her forget where she came from and she wants to always help the less fortunate.

We talk about her passion for holistic medicine and health and where that comes from. She shares about how she used to not feel good which led her to watch “Veducated” on Netflix and this started her on her plant 🌱 based path. Then she started getting exposed to natural medicine and healing such as herbs and acupuncture. As she puts it, food is medicine and she saw how people around her were on medication and they all suffered from the side effects. Isaac shares a story of how he was healed of back pain by and herbal healer their family knows.

We talk about extended travel. Jho talks about wanting to live in Italy for 6 months because she has an aunt who lives there.
