We touched upon the power and danger of attention in a previous episode, but in this one, we expand upon it, and talk about how discrediting someone's work entirely or dismissing the fruits of one's labor to deception or luck can set someone off. And rightfully so.

In this episode, we go over some important tips for getting started with what you love doing, such as: Do what you love and love what you do. Don't let anybody's expectations or wants dictate your life, including those of your parents. Furthermore, once you get started, be patient, don't expect any unrealistic results, and be ready to give away your work for free for a long time.

Society today largely struggles with being able to exchange ideas and talk about differences in civil and polite mannerisms. We dismiss each other, we insult and laugh at each other, and we make it very difficult for us to get along.

In this episode, which was largely inspired by my disappointment with the "ok, boomer" trend, I passionately voice my stance on the misconduct of the world today.

One of the most common flaws I see in today's entrepreneurs and businesses is that they are extremely and perhaps even solely profit-driven in their practices.

In this episode, we go over two ethical stances, deontological and consequentialist, and we compare the pros and cons of both. I reveal which one I'd rather use on a daily basis (not case-by-case for simplicity), and I invite listeners to let me know what they think of both stances and where they'd stand if they could only pick one.

In this episode, we go over an examination of one of your greatest enemies.

Everybody needs a little help in getting by. Everybody.

In this episode, we go over the importance of having the humility to ask for help, as well as offering assistance for others who want and need it.

We, as human beings, are imperfect by nature.  We mess up.  We make mistakes.  We do wrong things.  And we can feel bad and feel regret in hindsight over what we've done.  This episode serves to remind us that what's important is that we are able to learn the lessons from our past and grow, not destroy ourselves.
