Beyond the Present Podcast

The year 2020 is here and the crew behind Beyond the Present (BTP) podcast is here to celebrate the first day that marks the beginning of not only a new year but also a new decade. As is common at this time of year many of us write our New Year’s Resolutions, however, the unfortunate fact is that most of us abandon the goals that we set at the beginning of the New Year by January 15th of that same year, but why is that? 

There is no denying the fact that our environment, situation, and the events in our lives all have an impact on our emotional state and sunny days, lucky wins, and happy endings can make anyone feel positive. But what if the weather is too cold and snowy, the day is filled with one unlucky event after another, and your efforts seem to yield no results! How could you remain positive in those situations? The answer lies in having an internal locus of control and generating a positive state from within. In this program as part of the solo edition of Beyond the Present (BTP) podcast Daniel shares with you how to become a source of positivity in a world that thrives on negativity. One of the most important skills in leadership is the ability to motivate and cheer up those who have lost hope, this short talk will show you how to do just that!

On our 100th episode we are here to answer a few handpicked questions by our listeners as part of the Ask Dan Anything edition. Join Pouya as he asks the top questions from Daniel regarding a variety of things ranging from personal to esoteric! 

We all know that we got to risk it to get the biscuit but why don’t we actually do it? In this program as part of the Let’s Talk edition of Beyond the Present podcast Daniel and Pouya discuss living life on edge vs playing it safe and articulate the importance of taking risks to achieve greatness in any facet of life. 

Why do most problems remain unsolved? Why are most dreams not achieved? Why do a lot of us don’t get what we want? The answer will surprise you: because most people do not even make one attempt to achieve them as they are afraid of being rejected.
