It has literally been so long since we recorded this that I genuinely can't remember what we talked about. Can't wait to listen and find out.

How do you become the best version of yourself? What is getting in the way? What are you even optimizing for in the first place, how do you define "best"--happy, productive, grateful? Mike and I dance around the topic by asking ambiguous, open ended rhetorical questions and Pasha is gracious enough to waste everyone's time by reading out of his journal. Must listen content.

Mike and Pasha are joined by their first guest ever! Matt Shenker joins the conversation (apologies for the poor audio quality) to provide his expertise on growth. Matt is a counselor and consultant who runs his own business called TheMindfulnessCounselor (follow him on IG!)

The fellas talk about communities and the impact they have on our lives. How are we impacted by the people we are around? They then take a HARD turn and talk about some very.... uhh... "sensitive" content.

How do you know when is the right time to stop trying on a task? How much failure is necessary and natural to struggle through, and how much is a sign to pivot and move onto something else? Mike and Pasha dissect the last few things they've given up (see: every decision Mike has made since 2017)and debate ongoing items in their life to determine if they should leave it behind or keep on keeping on.

Mike and Pasha talk about how they spend their time. They try to understand what their defaults are, revisit their goals, and attempt to realign how they spend their time to better achieve those goals. Along the way they realize they are mindless buffoons with a proclivity for meandering, wasting time, and having no idea how they ended up where they are. Maybe you can relate.

Love is in the air as Mike and Pasha figure out how to love themselves despite their reluctance. They challenge each other to complete an uplifting exercise and encourage the listeners to join them on the journey to worthiness.

Listen this week as Mike and Pasha tackle a topic we all experience but seldomly share by infusing a combination of awkward formality, inappropriately timed levity, and a myriad of personal anecdotes that make obvious exactly how unqualified they were to discuss this topic in the first place.
