  • Why YOU Should Delete Social Media

    Social Media can feel like a really integral part of our lives. Once you delete it, you realize that everyone else is focusing on this image built up on social media, rather than what is happening in real life. In this episode of BTY we discuss how leaving social media out of your life would be beneficial to you. It is beneficial to one's attention span, ability to be present, and it stops you from comparing yourself to others. Thank you for watching this episode of BTY, we'll see you soon for another one.

    Sincerely,
    BTY

  • You Could Be Doing More With Your Life

    It is easy to find excuses as to why we are not doing all that we could be doing. It can feel like we simply do not have the capacity for anything more. However, in this episode I discuss why this is not the case, and how you can create more time for doing more activities in your day. This can free up time for you to go the gym, start running, read books, open a new business or even do a short course.

  • Faith, Love, Modeling (Pageantry) and Mental Health | with Deodat Beukes

    I was privileged to have a conversation with Deodat Beukes on the modeling and pageantry industry for males globally. We specifically talked about how these industries are perceived in Namibia. Our conversation also revolved around faith, a personal relationship with God, mental health and love. It was interesting to pick Deodat’s brain and hear his personal journey regarding these topics. It’s awesome to see such an Godly, inspirational young man doing his thing. As a upcoming social influencer, artist, and model in Namibia, Deodat is working and consistently to make a positive impact. We here at BTY wish him the best with his future endeavors. #podcast

  • Why You Should Develop Your Social Skills

    One's social muscle is often overlooked, and neglected. In this episode I discuss why it is important to prioritize the development of your social muscle, as much as we develop say our physical body, or even our brain and knowledge.

    I believe this is important as many young people I see around me each day have underdeveloped social skills. This is understandable as the culture and society we live in today does not emphasize one-on-one social interaction. The amount of opportunities and connections that you gain by developing the social muscle is by far worth it to meet new people and make new friends. Many people turn down opportunities to develop their social muscle because they feel it would be awkward or uncomfortable. I hope by listening to or watching this you will feel inspired to put some work into developing your social skills.

  • What I've Learned From Being A Youth Leader

    Being a Youth Leader at Church has been one of the most rewarding things Ive done in my life. I have learnt alot over the past 3+ years of leading youth at my local church. Transitioning from being a member of the youth for many years and being led by others, and now being blessed with the opportunity to lead myself.

    I have learnt some very valuable life lessons, which is why I wanted to make a video today about what has stuck with me from the last few years, and has allowed me to continue to be a youth leader for as long as I have. These are values passed down to me from others around me who have spent many years in youth leadership. These values can be applied to your life to help you when you find yourself in situations that require leadership, or if you have any desire to carry influence. For many years now it has been one of my goals to be someone who has influence over others in a positive manner. I have tried to follow this out through my position as a youth leader at my church, as well as here through this community called Better Than Yesterday.
    Some of the lessons learnt include being consistent, building relationships, providing energy, the WHY of Youth Leadership, the importance of being genuine, carrying influence and the responsibility you carry as a youth leader.

  • Masculinity Portrayed In Historical Times (Why Taking Responsibility Is Important)

    In the society we live in today masculinity is looked down on. There is many factors that come into play which influence this outlook, a reason could be because of the various negative examples set men we looked up to or still do. Though when we zoom in on what genuine masculinity is supposed to be, we can realize that these men don't portray the characteristics of a real man. I'm the video today I discuss the example of Daniel from the Bible and explain the importance of taking responsibility as a character of genuine masculinity.

    If you enjoyed today's video and found it interesting. I would like to hear your opinion and topics you'd like to focus on for the next video. Be sure to like the video, comment and subscribe if you would like to grow in community with us.
    Much Love,

  • Are You a Consumer Or a Creator?

    Have you ever thought back to when you were younger, and how creative we once were? The world around you no longer encourages you to be creative, but rather encourages you to keep consuming, and keep buying. We are being made into the perfect consumer. The fact is, you cannot be at your creative best, when you are too busy consuming content for hours a day. We are always filling up every empty second with dopamine supplied from social media like instagram, tiktok, twitter, youtube, and netflix. There is nothing wrong with occasionally enjoying watching some content, but the issue comes when we are unable to be bored, and simply have to keep consuming.

    This is a topic that I have become quite passionate about when I realized how constantly consuming makes one unable to create. When you allow yourself to be bored is when you come up with new ideas and are able to create art, music, drama, content and stories. We need to stop consuming in such massive quantities and start to consume more meaningful art. This way we will enable our creativity to shine once again. Thank you so much for joining the conversation, please do consider liking this episode if you did enjoy it, and subscribing to Better Than Yesterday! Please share this video with a friend who you think could benefit from watching it.
