  • The Difficulties and Dignity of Work with Greg Murray

    On This episode I sit down with Greg Murray, founder of a production company, music producer, and model. We have an amazing conversation about work. Work is challenging in many ways, a lot of times we feel like our efforts do not really seem to produce results at all or at least not what we expected. Many times we will be able to envision and dream something and the results we get from pursuing that dream or goal may be completely different then our vision. However, work is something God had always intended for us individuals to do. It is through our work that we figure out more about ourselves and the world. We learn perseverance, patience and that brings meaning into our lives. If we have a perspective of work as being something we do just to get by and pay the bills we will always feel like we are walking against the wind and doing something that we were never supposed to be doing in the first place. When we shift our perspective and start to understand that work will be frustrating at times, that we will experience lots of uncertainty and that sometimes things will not go as planned. At the same time through all this burdens we become more responsible of our lives and our work. We pass to see work as a way to serve other humans and our communities. Through our work we can create an impact but every endeavor will have costs involved and we should always be aware of that

  • Truth Hurts with Yavar Abgin

    On this episode I sit down with Yavar Abgin, medical student and open minded thinker. We discussed about why the truth hurts and what are some aspects that the truth plays out in our lives. We also discuss how important it is to associate with people that are willing to tell you the truth and give you constructive criticism and the results it can bring into our lives. It is very important for us to be aware on the things and people that influence our lives. We need to be aware on what we allow to come into our minds for that will shape how we behave.

  • Shattered Dreams with Grant Beaudry

    In today’s episode with Grant Beaudry, host of the Dig In Dirt podcast and graphic designer. We have such a powerful conversation on struggles and as the title says dreams that sometimes do not come into fruition. Living at chaotic times like now can feel overwhelming and hopeless but Grant digs deep into how we can change our perspective and look at things that are still in our control to do. We need to humble ourselves and embrace failures and challenging moments. By doing so we allow our character to be developed becoming stronger and whole. It is important for us to understand that not all things will go as we plan but by having a strong character we can continue to grow no matter the environment, for our character will remain whole not allowing circumstances to take us off track.

  • The Problem with Comparing Ourselves to others with Alma Lake

    On today's episode I sit down with Alma Lake. She is an amazing musician and entrepreneur living in Los Angeles. Coming from Miami and Colombia and being a contestant at The Four show, Alma loves to influence her audience through service and unique music. We go over the topic of comparison and the problems that come as a consequence of comparing ourselves to others. A much better approach is comparing ourselves to who we were yesterday, that way we can analyze if we have made improvement in different areas of our lives and take action to improve constantly.
