In this episode of Journey Time, we meet the awesome co-hosts of the UpNUp podcast, Robel Andmicael and Ermias Haile.
Robel “Robino” and Ermias “DJ Erm” are both first-generation Eritrean Americans hailing from Seattle, Washington. They attended Washington State University and that’s where they discovered the power of using their platform to highlight people and their stories. From college radio days to co-founding a multi-dimensional media platform, they bring guests on their weekly podcast and highlight how inspiring individuals are “cultivating the culture.”

They also share how Nipsey Hussle inspired them and how they’re keeping the marathon going. Robino and DJ Erm both spent time in Eritrea as children and they share how those experiences impacted them. They also share how they overcame some challenges along the entrepreneurship journey and much more.
Robino and DJ Erm are amazing examples of what it takes to turn visions into a reality. They demonstrate that with their hard work, dedication and consistency. Thank you and the entire UpNUp team for what y’all are doing in the community. Keep it going!
