Meaning in Madness

I have a long chat with my friend Vea, a breast cancer survivor at age 33, about her personal journey before and during the pandemic. This episode is twice as long as my average podcast episode, but I hope you'll listen to the end :)

If you would like to get in touch with Vea, drop me a line at [email protected] and I'll pass the message along :)

The last episode of the season started with how life is more complicated nowadays, and doing business is more challenging. I got two entrepreneurs to weigh in. Carson said that life is complicated because of overchoice (he didn't use that word, though) – and it's because of women. (We know that women bit is not true, though.) We also talked about coffee, iPhones, and man's most basic need (the internet). Vanessa (from online dating episode fame) also joins us on this discussion on why life has gotten, well, complicated.

Yes, that was a lot of parentheses for an episode description. You can complain via [email protected]. Or say thank you. I'm happy to hear from you, either way.

Will take a quick break before I get started on Season 2!

It was one long conversation that I ended up with TWO episodes on KPop with Cheska. In this one, we uncover why KPop artists draw in teenagers across the globe. There is a reason why the term Oppa became almost commonplace (at least in the Philippines).

Want to ask Cheska something? Drop me a line on [email protected]. I'll make sure it gets to her!

In a world of ZOOM meetings, we no longer know if people are working in pyjamas or in proper clothes. Does it matter, really? And how do you make remote working, well... work? Listen to my friend Val as she shares what her company has done and how it helps her manage the WFH revolution.

(This episode is an aside to the actual topic we agreed to record – pandemic homeschooling – but the content is just too good to throw away. Thanks, Val!)

Meet Vicente. He's not Spanish or Portuguese. His surname is Lochschmidt. He's half-Austrian, half-Brazilian. And he lived in Portugal, Taiwan, Vienna, and Brazil. Plus he speaks Portuguese, German, and English. Definitely not your ordinary Joe.

And yes, he's single.

(Apologies for the sound quality for this episode, not quite sure what happened on my end. You can whine about it on [email protected]) 

Ever wondered about online dating but never dared to ask? Well, Kim and Vanessa share their experiences and tips on how to navigate once-unknown territory called Christian online dating. This episode is slightly longer because there isn't much to edit out - the conversation was so rich and insightful, I had to keep practically every second in. Except when Kim started talking about his ongoing relationship. (That's just for us, sorry!)

To the uninitiated, KPop belongs to another dimension. Now that it's becoming cool, I needed to get a quick download. Cheska shares how KPop has taken the world by storm, and what makes KPop different.

LONG CONVERSATION means there is PART 2!!!

Just two social media managers and digital marketers doing a massive brain dump on algorithms, fake social media posts, and why life shouldn't be complicated. (Editor's Note - this has been one of the hardest episodes to edit b because of the randomness of my conversation with Karen. Also, 70% Tagalog. Sorry, international listeners!)

The stuff I've edited out may just make it to another episode. I haven't decided yet.
