About Growth & Jams

Saúl sits down with a variety of guests to discuss what struggles they have been through, what they have learned, how they have grown, and what advice they would like to relay to the audience. It is through these obstacles and through these struggles that we develop as humans, and people of all ages can benefit from listening. Mixed in with these episodes are music reviews of the latest hip-hop/rap, alternative, and R&B albums, sometimes acting as stand-alone episodes.
