  • How Rych V Monetized Content, Comedy, and Community Visibility with On Da Seen TV

    How Rych V Monetized Content, Comedy, and Community Visibility with On Da Seen TV
    Dec 9 2025
    Before comedy and viral street interviews, Rychard V was a rapper chasing industry access the old way. In this episode, he shares the story of approaching Yo Gotti at a funeral to hand him a CD and how that moment shaped his understanding of visibility, timing, and the risks creators take to be seen.

    The founder of On Da Seen TV sits down with the Midwest Leak Podcast for an honest conversation about building a creator-led media platform without a blueprint. The conversation gets personal as Rychard V talks about being picked on in school and how those experiences shaped his humor, confidence, and perspective as a performer and storyteller. He also reflects on the realities of filming real people, including moments where individuals later asked to be removed from footage out of fear of getting in trouble at work. Those experiences pushed him to think differently about responsibility, consent, and why controlled environments now matter more in his creative process.

    The episode also explores what’s next, including Rychard V’s vision for a Cribs-style spin-off of On Da Seen TV that highlights homes, design, and creativity, starting with the Midwest Leak Podcast set curator, Her Home Design Boutique. In this episode, we discuss:
    • Going from rapper to comedian to media creator
    • Approaching Yo Gotti and early industry lessons
    • Being picked on in school and building confidence
    • Filming real people and navigating consent
    • Monetizing content through events and collaborations
    • Expanding On Da Seen TV with new formats

    This conversation offers an unfiltered look at the creator economy, community storytelling, and what it really takes to build something meaningful from the ground up.

    When You're Being Called to Pivot for Something Bigger | Justin Bland | Ep 8
    Dec 1 2025
    In this episode of the Midwest Leak Podcast, Justin Bland opens up about what it feels like to be called into a new season. He shares the moment he realized the dream he once worked so hard for had served its purpose, and why the next chapter required him to release it.

    Justin talks about the upcoming final Made Man Improv Show, the lessons that came from building a career on other people’s stages, and the deeper pull toward ownership and purpose. He reflects on how high school felt like a struggle, how college became a turning point, and how the people who believed in him shaped his confidence as a creative.

    Through his story, Justin gives an honest look at the courage it takes to pivot, the faith it takes to follow what you cannot yet see, and the provision that shows up when you commit to what is meant for you.

    This episode is for anyone who feels a shift in their spirit, anyone wrestling with a calling that will not let them stay where they are, and anyone standing at the edge of something bigger.
