On My Ones

Hello and karibuni to a new episode. I'm back again and this time for good. A lot has changed since the last time I recorded and I wanted to kickoff this new phase with a candid conversation between my mom and I. We speak on our shared love for books, especially by Jordan Peterson and our favorite rules from his book. We then segue into spirituality and the journey it leads us on in life and finally closing it off with how we can unlock our potential. I very much enjoyed this one and I hope you do as well. As always please let me know your thoughts on this episode and I cannot wait to release more content on this platform. Enjoy!

Hello and karibuni to the second minisode. For the very first time Alvin didn't have an agenda but the mandem Kabz came through with two questions: we talked about what makes our lives worth living and the most important people in our lives. Of course, we didn't leave out the banter. Thanks for tuning in!
