On this episode Sanni Räisänen guested the podcast - join our conversation about different cultures, life values, and how bumps and challenges in life forms your personality. 

It has been a good while since an episode has been released for ApeBrains - but we are finally settled and back in Business! Because this is a podcast about being an ape and growing to become a better human being, Xane shares about the struggle and chaos that has occupied the last 2 months after moving back to UK.

Xane picked up the conversation about the crisis in Afghanistan and discussed the paradox of charity organisations with Alice, her trusted pal, and shared opinions around the issues. Please note that this episode was recorded one week ago prior to the upload!

Xane invited her sister, Nea Berg, to the podcast and they talked about how it is, being 16 years old and starting in high school. They also talked more in depth about how to deal with decision making, conflicts, managing people and your expectations on them, and how to make good VS bad impressions.

Xane talks about the situation happening in Afghanistan, and she dives in the questions on 'why' people act and behave the way they do based on life experience, upbringing, and environment. Additionally, Xane dives into the conversation of North Korea and why it might be the most critical issue of today.  

Xane talked about marriage being a scam, an institution of fake love - why open relationships might scare people, and how women can be better climbers to the "top". 

Xane talks about emotional intelligence and how to handle inner turmoil and to fight for personal growth. We all have a Gollum, ego being, the emotional self - that we should balance with more logic in our day-to-day lives. 

This was a spontaneous episode based on Xane's own turmoil that she handled on spot - by thinking aloud. 

This week Xane deep-dived into the entire hype of flying cars and how that would actually go in reality considering safety, efficiency, and demand. Flying cars, space travel, hunger strikes, and other life lessons.
