This episode was not only about the confidence BJJ gives me (and others), but also about how it can benefit you as an individual. It can help you diffuse a situation, it can help women feel safer(as they learn to defend themselves), and it can even help boost the confidence of kids who may be bullied online and/or offline.

In this episode, I speak about BJJ and its benefits for people of all ages and genders. 

My thoughts on getting the various COVID vaccines, and why I believe they are a good idea. 

In this podcast, I talk about not just owning up to the great achievements one makes, but also failures as well. 

My take on motivation, and my opinion of how you can achieve your goals and dreams. 

A brief background on my life in the US, and how it led me here to live in Indonesia for the foreseeable future. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel: Bule Makan Yuk. You can find me on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok: @bulemakanyuk is my name there. 

This episode came from a Q&A segment on Instagram, and one of them was requesting I speak about martial arts. I give my opinion about the use of martial arts, and the importance that everyone should learn it, in order to have a means to defend themselves. If you have differing opinions of this podcast, you can message me on Instagram: @bulemakanyuk. 

I did a poll on Instagram asking what this episode should be about, and the majority of you wanted me to speak about Memorial Day. In this latest episode, I give a brief history of this day of remembrance, the loss of life of people who were close to me, as well as who to remember on this day. If you are enjoying Memorial Day, I just ask that you visit your local veteran's cemetery and/or monument, and pay respect to those who have died. They are who this day is about. 

I recently conducted a poll on Instagram about where to do a podcast about my favorite country or favorite food: 68% voted for food, and that's what I did. The below is a background on my favorite foods, and no, they are not western based. The benefit of traveling the world, and hope you enjoy. Please share this podcast, and hope more will be able to tune in, as I talk about my life in Indonesia. 

"Sate kambing is the Indonesian name for "mutton satay". It is part of the cuisine of Indonesia. This food is made by grilling goat meat that has been mixed with seasoning. The dish is also called lamb satay and goat satay."

"Murtabak is a stuffed pancake or pan-fried bread which is commonly found in the Arabian Peninsula and Southeast Asia, notably in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Yemen, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and Thailand. Depending on the location, the name and ingredients can significantly vary."

I conducted a poll a few weeks ago on IG, and asked my followers what they would want me to talk about my podcast. Today's episode is answering one of those questions, which was "Life in the military". Had a great growing experience in the military, which I talk about. A heads up on when I talk about Iraq. I don't mean to demean the country in any way, and the people I met were very nice. I just had a bad experience, and in no way mean that everyone feels or has felt this way. The commentary on these podcasts are based on my opinions and personal experiences, so do not take as me speaking factually. I appreciate all who listen.
