We had the good fortune of connecting with Joshua Guarnera and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Joshua, do you have a favorite quote or affirmation?
My favorite quote is “You only live once, and the way I live, once is enough.” – Frank Sinatra. This quote means so much in so little words. To me this quote says you have one life so why waste it doing something you don’t really want to do. That’s why whenever I am down or stressed I think of this quote to remind myself that this life isn’t forever, that life is short and to live it to the fullest while I can.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I like to consider myself a content creator of many kinds. My favorite kind of content to create is travel series where I travel and experience new places and see how different but amazing other places, countries and states are from each other in a funny and entertaining way. I would like to say I am different than other travel contact creators from the group of characters a.k.a. my friends I bring along to these places and meet these amazing people as well as these amazing experiences life has to offer! besides travel series I also create skits, music, life vlogs and so much more! Something I am most proud of doing this work is bringing my best friends along to experience whatever it is I’m doing with me. The laughs and the memories are the best things to take away from these trips and videos. I started making videos when I was really young around my middle school days or even before that. It turned into something else at the end of high school and beginning of college where I thought to myself I can do this for a living if I try hard enough and keep my mind on the goal but not to forget to have fun doing it because that is most important. I didn’t end up making a sent from any of the videos I’ve made until after college. I worked my butt off to net work as much as I can and grow my channel every day. It was not easy at all and still can get tough at times. I overcame these challenges by reminding myself that I get one life and one chance to achieve what I want so why stop and waste it. I’ve learned so many lessons along the way such as to never give up and never stop being who you are because someone else doesn’t like it. I want the world to know that I will always be genuine in my work and brand and that is why I will never take anything for granted.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Is my best friend was visiting the area and wanted me to show them the best time ever I would ask him a few questions first such as what’s your favorite food, what drinks do you like to drink, is there any places you would like to see and is there any things you wanna do. After asking all those questions I will show them the hotspots around town and to me sometimes planning minute by minute is not the best thing because the best memories you take away from trips are the things that happen spontaneously and unexpected. Planning is a big part of what I do but for a visit it is more about the enjoy meant of each other’s company rather than racing around stressing on an itinerary.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Someone that definitely deserves some credit to my career path and journey is my Uncle Tony O. aka Tony Oppedisano. My Uncle Tony O. always gives me the advice I need whenever I feel down or stuck and don’t know what my next move should be. He always says the right things to get me out of my head and continue to chase my crazy dreams. To my Uncle Tony O I love you and thank you for all you do!
