miles asks again

Picking up from last week’s conversation, Robin shares his learnings growing up around his environment, dealing with everyone and better understanding everything. He talks us through his own creative process as a songwriter, a producer, a musician, and what he has in store for the future. 

This week, Robin shares both his funniest memories growing up. We talk about his family, his music, the expectations of other people, and everything else in between. 

Everyone seems to be tired easily these days! Physical, mental, emotional fatigue is taking a toll on us, and it’s crazy to realize that we’ve been allowing ourselves to be drained by expectations -from ourselves, and others. In a time where we need to redefine relationships and rethink our lifestyle, it’s time we question what really matters most to us.

To cap off the mini series about Surviving, we look inwards as we question whether freedom means having no choice but to accept the status quo.

Now, more than ever, the phrase "I'm just trying to survive this" is being used all around the world, whatever your situation is.  Maybe thinkers from the past can help enlighten us, because to no one's surprise, this isn't the first time these things unfold. Which begs the question: Do we live most of our life in survival mode?

With lots of strength to face his truth, grit to ride it out, and a bit of self-deprecation, this guest tells us about his battle against osteosarcoma in the distal ulna (bone cancer for us commoners) as a child, and the lessons death can teach about life.

A very special guest, jokingly naming himself as "Lead in the Head" answered difficult questions about surviving mental illness, such as "what was happening at that time?", "how did he cope?", and "how did this change him?" as he candidly reflects on his experience about depression and suicide. He shares how, ultimately, failure led him towards a happier, more fulfilled life of acceptance.
