20 Something W/ Aidan Steinbach

What a good episode. Started the episode by talking about why most personal trainers fail and my experience in the industry. After working with over 70 different clients and reading hundreds and hundreds of medical journals… it all comes down to the simple fact that most people don’t have the time in the day.

Then we talked about the coronavirus and the misinformation epidemic. Why do people feel like getting medical advice from a politician would be a good idea? Would you go to your Dog Trainer or a police officer if you had a weird lump on your chest? Probably not. So how has politics shifted into this misinformation adventure?

I think that I’m better than 90% of the people I meet because of the things I’ve experienced in life. Thinking that I’m better doesn’t stop me in anyway from always trying to learn from those around me. Just because I am more fit than my father does not mean that he is not more of a medical expert than me. Just because I understand the stock market at a greater degree than my sister does not mean that she can’t teach me a thing or two about the law. It is so incredibly important to think that you’re better. It is so incredibly important to be confident yourself. But don’t be so cocky that you think you can’t learn something from someone else. I’ve learned from homeless people, doctors, and college dropouts outs…life is the greatest teacher of them all.

Finishing off, strongly, with a letter to my ex

Discussing a 5-year beef and my stance on hyper-religious individuals. Diving into religion and how it can, far too often, be used for persecution instead of love and compassion.

Have you ever used the "recommend to a friend" function on a dating app? Has ANYONE???? I am here for my success. Fuck you, I'm not recommending shit.

One of the worst parts about breaking up with someone is you can't listen to "their" songs anymore. How many names, songs, COLORS, and so much more have been ruined simply because you responded to a text you shouldn't have...

One of the biggest questions of our time is how in the world do you live WITH your parents AND have no money...WHAT IN GOD'S NAME ARE YOU EXPENSES??????

Starting strong with why I only date people who look a certain way and ending even stronger with the age-old question every man is asked.

Value is a huge focus of this episode. What value do you add to someone's life and what value do others add to your life? How do you determine that value?

Is life as a short man more difficult and why do I make it look so easy???

Do you have to settle if you want to marry, or will I get with Jennifer Aniston?

I feel very refreshed these days. Had an amazing weekend, talked to some beautiful people, laughed a lot, and got paid. I think once I refocused on myself and the things that added value...my own value increased.

Anyways, let's get into it.

Life is crazy. Kids are overmedicated. Adults who graduated college are living with their parents. Some of the strongest people in the world would rather be the weakest. 

Tackled some challenging issues on this one. Talked about my journey through being medicated and my current stance on medication. Talked about how sometimes it can be frustrating to see kids who went to the same school I did, just live with their parents and travel all the time. I have to remind myself that it looks like they’re having the time of their lives, they’re stuck in their parent's house…living their parent's rules.

Going to start producing some content for Tik Tok and reels this coming week. I’m pretty excited about it. It’s something that I don’t have a whole lot of experience in, but I think it’ll be a really cool learning moment. After all, if I can get 180,000 TikTok followers just by showing my face… How hard can it be when I’m actually saying something serious? 

I’m assuming very hard… Like exceptionally hard   

Pretty wide-ranging episode. Starting with how if ONE MORE of my friends gets married I will be calling in a bomb threat and covering everything from sexual education to suicide awareness.

Can you get back with an ex? What would you say to your past self? Can you sleep with someone on the first date?

I don’t know. But I certainly have opinions...

I think my favorite part about this podcasting process is I get to find out my own answers to questions I never really asked myself before this.

Now THIS was a fun episode to film. I think it felt the most natural of any of the episodes I’ve filmed yet.

Talked about some pretty powerful topics and some pretty fun topics. Unpacked modern masculinity, moving on from your ex (and having them come to see you…), the ethics of marriage, and dating being a chore. 

I honestly didn’t even get to unpack all the things I wanted to, which only makes me more excited about next week. 

Send it to your friends! Send it to your family! Send it to the teacher you had a crush on for 2 years. 

Thanks for tuning in to another episode, There is much more to come

A lot to unpack here. Lots of hot-button, provocative, and intense conversations. From abuse, to mass shootings, to sibling differences.

I feel like there are so many topics we shy away from. What if they disagree? What if they think a different way?

I think that by not having these high-pressure conversations we only perpetuate the problems that exist in the world. We HAVE to be able to talk about the things that bother us, the things we believe in, and the things that we are unsure about.

That is how progress is made.

I think one of the biggest flaws in our society is we look at these discussions as arguments to win instead of people to be understood and to be helped.

Anyways...Officially 5 episodes filmed! 5th one should be out this weekend whenever I figure out how the hell to use CapCut.

Welcome back to the third episode of 20 Something W/ Aidan Steinbach. You have now put up with me for an entire hour of your life… Congratulations. Please, DM me to accept your trophy.

But seriously, big focus on relationships in this episode. A reflection on my past relationships and where my head is looking towards the future.

I'm taking a little trip up to Philly for some R&R (Liquor and Dancing) but before I do we had to get an episode out there. AND THAT IS WHY I DON'T HAVE THE ROBE ON.

Talking about everything from addiction, social norms, dating, and my past… It’s a pretty fun episode. Like always, please feel free to leave any feedback or questions!

What’s up, guys? Thanks for coming back for episode two. OK, my request is that you guys leave comments or messages. I think there’s an option to leave a question. PLEASE suggest topics for the next podcast.

Today we covered a lot of ground. Everything from how I literally don’t understand W-4 tax forms to why it was so hard to move on from her.

Really really excited to keep this up. I think the more I do it the more I’ll understand how I want to structure the podcast and everything like that.

If you’re interested in hopping on as a guest, shoot me a message… I’m gonna start having guests after episode four.

My first episode! I have zero idea what I'm doing lol.

I just moved to a new city, to start a new job, with new people. There is a lot of change going on in my life, and I wanted to document that candidly and transparently.

I wouldn't say I like the world today- it's so performative and fake. Everyone's life seems perfect, but if you ask anyone about them...they are kinda miserable. So I wanted to share my life transparently- the good, the bad, the funny, and the messy.

Really excited to see where this goes. New episodes dropping every Monday!
