Partially Productive had the most beautiful chat with our good friend Danielle A.! Partially Productive had the pleasure of taking an in-person class with Danielle (pre-COVID) and Aeriel chats about her experience as a student in Danielle's teachings (5:50). We ask Danielle if she finds herself combining yogasana and movement meditation in her teaching (9:30) and how this pandemic has changed her teaching (13:45). As Danielle is building her business in the wellness space, we ask her on her approach to this new uncharted territory (20:30). As we continue to chat with Danielle, we notice her true passion and joy in talking about her work and ask her how exactly what about this work brings her this great joy (31:55) and if she can see herself doing this long term (36:20). Moving into a more intimate realm, we ask her what her biggest failure is (40:35), if she ever felt frustrated during a time of discovery (42:50), and our personal favorite: what's on your bucket list (56:45).

We had the opportunity to chat with college student Marianne M. in this jam-packed episode! Marianne introduces herself (2:27) and how she was able to stay on such a steady academic path at a young age (4:15). We ask her what productivity means to her (5:40) and how she is able to execute these amazing goals for herself (7:20). Marianne is clearly a hard worker so it’s only right to ask her how she keeps herself motivated (9:30) and if what she is doing is something she is passionate about (12:30). A lot of individuals are multifaceted and today we learned Marianne is definitely one of those individuals, so, does her prospective job just serve as a means to support what she is truly passionate about (15:30)? We were surprised to hear about her productivity tools and how intricate she uses them (21:20). Failures are not immune towards anyone and we ask Marianne what her personal failure is (28:00), how she stays kind to herself (30:00), and what are some lessons she learns with each semester (30:55). We then dive into asking her how she stays focused (35:55) and get into chatting about silly things such as pee breaks (41:00). We move away from the present moment for a hot second and we ask her what is on her bucket list (43:40) and something she wishes she could tell herself when she was younger (50:00). Lastly, we ask her what thoughts hold her back and how she overcomes this to move forward (52:10).

We are so excited to have our good friend Jesus Frias on the podcast with us today! Jesus is a Ph.D candidate at University of Albany and we were honored to have had some time to sit and chat with him about this huge feat! We start off by asking what productivity means to Jesus (2:40) and how this productivity has changed due to the pandemic (5:50). Pursuing a Ph.D is definitely no joke and our smart friend is in a program that encompasses Molecular, Cellular, Developmental, and Neurobiology, specifically, research in Myotonic Dystrophy. Studying such a heavy research topic, we asked him if he is truly passionate about what he is doing (9:10) and what keeps this passion going, even on the days he wants to stop (13:30). Despite achieving such awesome feats, we know everyone has their own setbacks and we ask Jesus what his particular setback was (18:00) and if he has ever come to peace with this setback (21:44). We also chat with Jesus about what he does when he loses motivation (25:00). Lastly, we ask our super academic friend what's on his list-- and trust us, his answer is super interesting and plain awesome (34:00).
