Catch the podcast hosted by Erwan Heussaff, Nico Bolzico, and Jaz Reyes on Samsung’s official Spotify, YouTube, and Facebook pages

Step into your Ultra Self with “Unfold Your Story,” where curiosity meets candor, and every conversation sparks insight. Presented by Samsung, the podcast offers a deep dive into honest, and thought-provoking dialogues with creators, experts, and cultural voices shaping the way we live, think, and create content.

Hosted by #TeamGalaxy’s Erwan Heussaff, Jaz Reyes, and Nico Bolzico and featuring other creatives from #TeamGalaxy, the episodes dive into real, relatable conversations about personal growth, self-discovery, and the role of innovation not only in content creation but in everyday life. Listeners will also discover how Galaxy AI—Samsung’s suite of intelligent tools—empowers the guests to unlock their full potential.

With countless hours of content consumed by Filipinos every day, success can seem instant—effortless, even. But behind the lens lies a deeper story: one of grit, growth, and the unseen hustle. From uncovering your “why,” carving a path that’s uniquely yours to staying authentic in a world of trends, “Unfold Your Story” is a must-listen podcast that invites listeners to explore what it truly means to be their Ultra Self — the most authentic, empowered, and creative version of who they are.

Unfolding the secrets in finding purpose beyond passion, the premiere episode tackles how to recover from burnout, fight imposter syndrome and reignite the creative spark that often dims in the face of pressure and perfectionism relevant to listeners in their late 20s to 40s. It features Life Coach Mara Banson who will share insights in navigating “new adulthood,” while Jun Guevara, Head of Mobile Experience at Samsung Electronics Philippines Corporation, shared how the brand supports people through this transformative life stage.

It also tackles how Galaxy AI features like Gemini Live, elevate productivity through natural conversations that adapt to everyday life. With Gemini Live, users can interact freely and access real-time information, upload images, or use the camera for instant suggestions. On the Galaxy Z Fold7, one of Samsung’s latest foldable innovations, these features come to life, showing how Samsung’s most advanced devices are built to integrate seamlessly into any lifestyle.

In Episode 2, the spotlight turns to Janine Gutierrez, an award-winning actress who has earned Best Actress honors at both the FAMAS and Gawad Urian Awards, and was recognized as a Rising Star at the 20th New York Asian Film Festival. Coming from a prominent showbiz family, Janine opens up about the pressures of legacy, the journey of carving her own path and shares how someone can build their own identity and bloom on their own terms, even when it doesn’t follow the expected path.

The podcast also highlights how modern tools, including Galaxy AI, are transforming creative processes. Whether it’s running lines with voice assistants or using AI to simulate a character’s tone and delivery, technology is becoming an invaluable partner in artistic and personal development.

In the food content sphere, Ryan Reyes, better known as Ninong Ry, is always known for his relatable, light, and humorous content that ranges from classic Filipino dishes to quirky kitchen hacks. He’s a chef, vlogger, and digital creator who has captured millions of followers and created a loyal community of “inaanak,” with his no-frills, laugh-out-loud approach to cooking.

But staying relevant and creative is difficult. In the final episode, Ninong Ry opens up about what it takes to remain inspired, honest, and raw in a space where trends and algorithms often dominate, and where innovation is a constant demand for creators like him.
