Welcome to the seventh episode of the video podcast "According to Captain Ron's Record" where Kayla Marie Coates does bi-weekly(ish) interviews with their grandfather, Ron Ledesma - aka Captain Ron - about general life advice, their family heritage and culture, his journeys and life experiences and, of course, music!   

Kayla has always wanted to learn more about their family and get to know their grandfather as an individual instead of just their grandpa. At the end of 2021, Ron was diagnosed with a terminal lung disease so Kayla figured, what better way to learn all of this information in the short time Ron will have left on this plane than to start a podcast recording and chronicling it to live on long past his lifetime for his family, friends and fans.   

This is the unedited, unfiltered, pure and real take from the perspective of Captain Ron.   

**  

In this week's episode, we dive deep into the roots of our family tree discussing Captain Ron's parents and family, where they came from, how they got here, the reasons why Captain Ron doesn't speak much Spanish even though he's mostly Mexican, some family traditions and recipes, plus much more! Keep an eye out for our furry friend popping in and out of the screen.  

Stay till the end for an update on how he's feeling with his illness, mental health and a special off screen cameo from a certain someone!  

Prepare to set sail on the Pirate Ship Pinata with Captain Ron, Kayla Marie and a few surprise guests on this musical adventure.
