In this episode I sit down with J.J. and Melissa Plasencio. Can we say dream-team? J.J. is the former Bassist for Sixpence None the Richer and Plumb. He’s the founder of Hot Pepper Studios located in Austin, Texas. As a pro bassist, cellist, guitarist, producer and arranger and singer-songwriter, he’s established his Jazz, Rock, and R&B career as a humble musician who loves humanity. JJ’s credits include Sixpence None the Richer, Plumb, Fernando Ortega, Buddy Quiad, Biscuit Bros, and Kevin Max. J.J. says, “Just give me the key.” He’s the recipient of an Emmy Award, Dove Award, and Trailblazer Award. Right by his side, is his brilliant wife, Melissa, who is running her own race of changing the world one student and teacher at a time! She works in the field of education as a curriculum writer and teacher to the teacher! She shares in our episode that she writes the “what” and the “when” for things in the classroom and describes her incredible dedication to developing strategies to scale innovation and best practices which carry a ripple effect on the hearts of young people and beyond! Her curriculum creates synchronous, asynchronous as well as in-person learning experiences for people to dream, discover, design, and refine their craft to help individuals and their teams to flourish. Melissa holds a Masters Degree in Science and Engineering Education from UT Austin.

Hosted by Juliette Marhofer-Dugger, Yellow Soul is built on the belief that the experiences which shape us are worth examining, no matter how messy or unconventional they might seem. This interview-based podcast moves through a unique landscape where personal faith, professional hustle, and the pursuit of meaning constantly intersect. Each episode features candid, "rogue" conversations that refuse to stay in neat boxes, exploring how spirituality informs business decisions, how entrepreneurship tests personal values, and how the journey of self-improvement is often deeply rooted in something greater. You'll hear from a variety of voices discussing the real, often unspoken, challenges and triumphs found at the crossroads of Christianity, commerce, and personal growth. The guiding idea is simple yet profound: if something defined you, it matters. This podcast creates a space to unpack those defining moments with honesty and depth, offering listeners not just stories, but frameworks for reflection on their own paths. It’s for anyone who feels their career, their faith, and their inner life aren’t separate journeys, but threads of a single, complex tapestry. Tune in for discussions that are as practical as they are spiritual, always grounded in the real-world application of ideas that can transform both your work and your soul.
