Planet Josh

This is the first episode for the New Year 2023 and why not talk about the Lunar New Year (Chinese New Year) that's upon us. Over my four years in Taiwan, my Lunar New Year experienced changed each and every year for the better. What started off as something that I had no idea about, turned into something I kinda got to experience to a certain extent. Find out the full details in this episode. Also, HAPPY NEW YEAR! 新年快樂! 💜

Let's end the year off the right way, with a Planet Josh episode. In this episode I brought in two of my Taiwanese friends to talk about their lives growing up in Taiwan. Ryan and Andrie are both from the Taipei area, New Taipei city and Taipei city respectively. They talk about the many hours spent in classrooms growing up, interacting with foreigners and other things about Taiwan. Do enjoy this one. 

In this episode I bring back a familiar person, Henry, along with the appearance of my other Honduran friend, Denisse. We talk about their lives growing up in different cities in Honduras, their transitions to Taiwan and also a little trivia to see if they're patriotic haha. This is a long episode but do enjoy! 

Life is all about living it to the fullest and to do so you must be where you're able to do your best and be the best you can be. Let me know what you think.

I recently had a lot of frustrations in regards to the podcast but I didn't let it consume me, maybe just for a little but the end result of all that allowed me to change my approach to the podcast. Find out about it in this episode. And huge announcement, episodes will no longer be weekly, they will be released every other Saturday.

In this episode I had a conversation with a young lady, Deanni Janae, that has a lot going on; entrepreneur, content creator, show host and an advocate for youth empowerment. She may be young, but that doesn't discount anything she says. Be sure to listen from start to finish, my apologies for my rough start to the episode but it gets better with time.

In this episode I got the chance to chop it up with my guy Jared Chatham. Jared is a Belizean-American, who played Division 1 basketball at the University of Central Arkansas and is now in his rookie season as a professional all the way in Denmark for Horsens IC. We touched on his mental battles with college and what it is like transitioning into a pro. On top of that we highlight the importance of having a support system. You can find his season schedule here.

Belize and Taiwan, the two countries I have lived in. In this episode you guys get to hear what it was like for a young Taiwanese boy, Nick Huang, to move to Belize back in 1999. There are lessons to be learnt when moving to a new country and Nick talks about what his were and how he has become super Belizean over the years. 

Back from my short break, new equipment, new mindset and an overall new approach to podcasting. In life no matter what we're doing, I would like to believe that we want to get better at it, and the only way to get better at something is to be consistent because every little step forward puts us closer to our goal. Do enjoy this episode and share with others.

Lately I've been second guessing the podcast, didn't have any ideas and here I talk about all of that along with how doubt can really affect the way we do the things we love. Thanks as always for tuning in!
