Ask The Duo Podcast

If you know Amelia, she likes to do a lot of reflection and that includes looking back into the past, analyse and see what you could’ve done better. So this episode she’s got the boys Sam and Samson to join together and talk about advice we’d give our younger self. A conversation which started as things we’d tell our younger self and then lead to to also uncovering a lot of childhood upbringing and talks around the Asian parenting styles that were used on us.

Red flags can apply to both to day to day people we meet or in dating and what gets categorised as a red flag can be different for everyone.

However, we don’t feel red flags should only be spoken about in relationships, these should carry across in general daily people you meet because at the end of the day. The person you potentially date are still going to be a human being.

Being able to connect with others is just natural for us humans but not all relationships will impact our lives the same way. So today we have Sam with us to see if our red flag alerts are similar or are they very different? Maybe we all just need subtitles 😂

With the world hitting us hard with crazy inflations and potential financial crisis. This got us thinking about why money is so important to people and in life, why are most people obsessed with making money, becoming rich or say they wish they had money?

We understand that having money does allow more freedom, not having to worry about your living expense and not having to live pay check to pay check.

But we wanted to get even deeper beyond that and discuss, how the words wealthy and rich are often used interchangeably. They are actually two different things or behaviours should we say. Being rich is generally someone that does have money but just spends it as it comes in.

However being wealthy is more than just having the physical dollars in your account. It’s the goal and purpose behind attracting more money, the purpose of what you want to to do with the money and also knowing the value of money.

Sudden wealth and money can catch you off guard and you wouldn’t know what to do with it. Thing of money as a tool to get you to achieve goals you want to achieve rather than the thing that defines your happiness.

As The Notorious B.I.G. says Mo money Mo Problems!

Join us today, as we have Sam again from Dough Ma sharing more life experiences. Except this time with a twists! What started as a conversation sharing scary life and near death experiences about failed brakes and aggressive wild dogs, turned into a spooky, chilling ghost story session.

If you enjoy these types of stories then this one is for you!

Nothing says hard work more than running your own business. This episode we speak to a dear friend of ours, the owner of Dough Ma located in Mt Gravatt, Brisbane. Not only has it grow significantly within it’s first ALMOST 2 years of opening, his shop also made special appearances on places like Subtle Asian Traits (proud moment), Urban list and Must Do Brisbane to name a few!

But down to the real deal, we brought him in to talk about what it is like to run & start a business during Covid, his tips and advice for anyone who is looking to start one and how to balance work and life when you have to do 7 day grinds!

Not a one to be missed and if you haven’t tried his donuts in Brisbane, it’s definitely a must try! Make sure you follow him on Instagram @doughma.au and stick around for some sneaky giveaways 😉

Continuing on with our previous episode, this one we will decipher how the Myer Briggs personality test describes our friendships and relationships. There is so much to uncover in this Myer Briggs test that we could go on forever about it, especially because it's a relationship topic which is one of our passion! 

One thing we can say for sure though, is both INFJ and ENTJ seek deep and meaningful relationships. Maybe this is also why we are both so compatible with each other and can understand each other on the same wave length. Let us know what you think about these personality times and also let us know yours and how it works with your group of friends or your partner!

What’s another way to learn more about yourself or even track how you’ve grown, than to do a personality test. This one is a popular one from Myer Briggs which we’re sure most of you have heard of. If you haven’t feel free to try it yourself too!

We’ve actually done this test around 5 years ago and some of the updated results have surprised us! Sam is an ENTJ-A and Amelia is an INFJ-A and turns out both these personalities can’t pronounce ‘methodologically’ 😂

As requested from some of our listeners, this episode we will be sharing our unqualified views on, friends with benefits, being monogamous and open relationships. Sam also shares his story with his experience of having friends with benefits and what that was like as well 😏.

What Amelia is curious about though is, what are the differences between the three? What are our experiences with either of these relationship titles and what are our views on them? There is just so much to ask around this topic and just being able to have an open discussion about this is also really interesting as its not something we do often on the mic.

Also disclaimer that when we discuss feeling “dirty” we do not mean it in a bad way, it's mostly due to having a lack of a better term for it.

The question we want to ask this episode is, why are people so scared of rejection? Once you think of fear as just another feeling, you may start to see that all emotions are temporary. Nothing is forever, even happiness. When you start to change your mindset to seeing feelings this way, it may actually start to help put you out there and give things a crack. Even if you may get rejected. 

Sometimes the fear of rejection is also from the fear of not being liked, being abandoned, not fitting in or being alone or have anxiety and much more. We also see that overcoming fear of rejection, falls hand in hand with stepping out of your comfort zone too. 

So we wanted to say, once you change your perspective of your feelings. Sometimes it might be okay to get rejected, it might be okay to feel fear. It'll only helps you learn more from that experience!

If you have been with us since day one, you may know that we both have a lot of similar characteristics, values and beliefs. However, one thing that is a little different is how we react to conflict, challenging moments or heated situations.

Sam is a little quicker to react and can be quite assertive, whereas Amelia tends stay quiet (not because she’s too afraid to speak up) but more like waiting for the right moment and likes to assess the situation a little longer.

We believe how someone composes themselves shows a lot about a person but is staying calm and composed always the way to go? Is there a right time and place to react vs continuing to assess the situation.

What does this statement mean to you ‘be afraid of the calmest in the room’? Let us know in our comments or DM on Instagram!
