Deep See With Bilal

In this podcast, I talk about how we tend to do things we find the easiest, while avoiding things that really need to take priority. This aversion to discomfort and pain is holding us back. It prevents us from really growing and having a less painful life.

In this podcast, I talk about how news is really a form of entertainment - a kind of giant reality show. What's worse it makes you upset, angry and helpless. Better then to focus on the events in your own life and share those with others.

In this podcast, I talk about my new business, Macro Hive. I talk about the struggles of solitude, the accidental way we created a community and how helping others gives purpose.

Thanks for listening

In this podcast, I talk about how I'm finding my inner life returning to some semblance of normality at around 40 days after my mother's death. I discuss how focusing my mother's compassion, love, and humanity has helped in this transition. Bilal

I've been raised to value my brain over my body whether through family or broader educational culture. In this podcast, I talk about simple physical exercises to provide balance to this, the role of meditation and the importance of healthy eating especially in relation to gut bacteria.

In this podcast, I talk about King Henry VIII and Brexit, the clocks going back for winter and the stages of our lives. There's a cycle to many things. We can learn to accept it.

In this podcast, I talk about the parallels between losing a parent and leaving the corporate world. The maturity gained in taking responsibility in work life. The transition phase of being in my forties. 

Feel free to reach out!

Thanks

Hi

I've been absent for a few weeks. My mother passed away, and I've struggled to record any podcasts. But now I feel up to voicing my experience. This podcast is a departure from my usual podcasts. It's unedited, not very polished and has me stumbling over my words as I talk about my mother passing away. 

I also wanted to thank everyone who has tried to call me. I didn't feel up to speaking, but I appreciate you reaching out.

Thanks

There are some ways of thinking that I keep coming back to. One is what the Harvard educationalist, Howard Gardner, calls the “Five Minds For the Future”.These are the types of thinking or minds we all need to develop in the modern post-industrial world. He first wrote about this,  back in 2006, but I think it captured the future well.The five minds he described are the Disciplinary Mind,  Synthesising Mind,  Creating Mind,  Respectful Mind and Ethical Mind. In the podcast,  I delve into each in more detail. I hope you find this helpful. You can subscribe to my podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, Overcast, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

Parents will know that as soon as their child is born, they subconsciously plan their child’s path to Harvard, MIT, Oxford, Cambridge or one of the other top universities. The thinking goes that by attending a top university, a world of opportunities will open up especially in the jobs market. But is this true? In this podcast, I look at studies that give a surprising answer to this question.
