Welcome back to The Switch!
This one’s about bearing fruit—even when no one’s picking it. We kick it off with the story of Macario Martinez, a street sweeper turned viral musician. Everybody sees the blow-up... nobody saw the years of showing up.
Switch-it-up Steps:
The Tree Was Always There:
Macario was posting, creating, working—and nobody was stopping by his “tree.” But the fruit was there. That one night, someone picked it—and everything changed.
The Only Thing You Can Control is the Song:
You don’t control who shares it, likes it, or goes viral. You control the work. That’s it. Same with this podcast, same with any creative project.
Don’t Let Your Fruit Rot:
If you have talent, if you’ve got something inside—you have to express it. We talked about how buying fruit and letting it sit til it goes bad is just like letting your gift rot. If you don’t use it, it’s wasted.
I Gave Up Before:
Oscar opens up about how he stopped before—subconsciously thinking “what’s the point?” But now? He’s back. New season, new commitment to showing up and sharing the fruit.
Overnight Doesn’t Mean Easy:
We get into Macario’s so-called “overnight success” and how fast rise can mean fast fall. One-hit-wonder bands, viral moments, the whole thing. You have to build the roots, not just chase the spotlight.
Be the Connector:
Eric shares a moment from that day—how he helped connect someone to the right person. That’s what it takes. Somebody shared Macario’s video. Someone connected the dots. Who are you helping shine today?
Gratitude + The Share:
As always, we close it out with what we’re grateful for, and a reminder:
Share this episode with someone who needs to hear it. Be the one who picks the fruit and passes it on.

Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Bear fruit anyway. Someone will come by.
