+ a fitness check-in, friendships and why a phone call with a friend this week gave me so much joy, YouTube & content creation struggles, and finally answering Andrea's whimsy questions. Enjoy!

Luke and I start the pod with a pre-run check in before our 8 mile destination run in Pacifica, CA. We then chat about Luke's experience growing up in Michigan, life in San Francisco, solo activities, and Luke's ideal day. Enjoy.

Trying something new...a conversation now on video! I talk about my latest conversation with Andrea Chen, my trip to New York, my evolving interests and what i've been learning about myself, how I'm showing up every day intentionally, and what I'm looking forward to the most for the rest of the year. Enjoy !

Andrea and I met through a mutual friend while in San Francisco. I owe a lot of my new experiences and approach to trying new things to Andrea's welcoming and adventurous nature, and it's been a long time coming to have this conversation. Enjoy.

If you could give any piece of advice to yourself a few years ago, what would that advice be?

I had a tough week. I was not myself. I did not feel mentally or physically strong. I let my negative voice have too much air time. I lost the plot. How do I jump back?

I talk about launchpad activities, traveling for my family reunion, maintaining my personal confidence, and the piece of advice I would give my younger self.

Aditi is that one friend of mine who always seems to be doing something fun and trying something new every week. From training for a marathon to backpacking in the Sierra mountains, she's always on some electrifying side quest. I was curious about what made her so adventurous, what makes her say yes to trying new things, how she committed to run a marathon, and much more. So we had a conversation. Enjoy.

How do you decide what’s truly important, and why have you chosen to value the things you value most?

I also answer, am I happy?, discuss arguing to understand over arguing to be right, my reflections on the Netflix show Adolescence, and my thoughts on masculinity, social media, and trust.

Thanks for being here! Enjoy.

Eamonn and I got carried away yapping for the first 45 minutes. At [44:10] we start talking about his next chapter to med school in Philadelphia, what led him to choosing this path of academia, the importance of community, third spaces, stepping out of your comfort zone, swimming with sharks, and creating the life you want to live. Enjoy!

I talk about my recent trip to Chicago, why I love plane rides sometimes more than the destination, Matthew McConaughey's walk-abouts, and something I wanted to share. No frameworks. Another diary entry. Enjoy.

Listen to my uncle's yoga journey on Yoga with Elias Lopez.

Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey. I love paperback. Write in your books more.

Listen to the last conversation I did with Nicolas DiDonato.

Talking about the conversations on the pod since my last diary entry and reflecting on Emilio Carranza's (#022) ACW entry: What is your intention and what is the latest action you've taken to move toward that intention?
