PlumesCast

There's a saying that usually gets quoted before the actual ending of it - "Shoot for the Moon!" Did you know that the whole saying is, "Shoot for the Moon, because even if you miss, you'll land amongst the stars"? Too often do we strive for perfection that we end up leaving ourselves without the energy to even begin; what could've been a journey was stopped because the destination wasn't perfect the first time. And so, using himself and his content creation, culinary skills, and professional life as the example, Seth walks you through how to take that perfectionist mentality and make actionable steps towards reaching that overarching goal, or even how to reconstruct it if it's simply unrealistic.

In every project, there's a time to press the charge and lead, and others to lay back and watch the flames burn - it's a delicate art that really, most productivity coaches would scoff at. To them, if you're not grinding 24/7 and leading everything, you're a failure; to me, though? It's the smartest play you can make. Why try to take the reigns on something you can't control for example, or what if there's a bigger threat looming over the horizon for your project: is it really worth planting your heels on now, or can it wait until later? On this episode, Plumes runs you through the pros and cons of being passive while being productive, what that can look like, and more importantly, what lessons can be learned from all projects once they hit their completion.

We've all been there - the company is asking us to work with people beyond our usual crew to build something monumental, or perhaps they're forcing a change with little explanation, but YOU have to make it work! The long nights... the hours long phone calls... the terrible inside jokes the others make within their team that just never seem to sit right with you, it's rough! And as someone who has recently survived yet another one himself, Plumes is ready to come through with the key tips he figured out while fighting for survival, from rediscovering old passions to unfortunately making sacrifices to keep everything rolling just a bit quicker.

February 1st, 2022 - Plumes had a silly dream. And that dream was a Twitch-styled podcast that... really didn't last as long as he thought it would. No, by some miracle or twist of fate, what started off as silly conversations began to grow deeper and deeper, now to the point where nearly every episode last year had some type of mindfulness/wellness or general well-being message attached to it. And honestly, it was such a blast to do. No, what started as something silly to reach out to all of y'all during the days I wasn't streaming became something so uplifting for me and my own mental health, that I genuinely hope you have found some refuge here. We've laughed, we've cried, we've been mad at the world together, and it's just such a wonderful feeling to come around and celebrate two years with y'all. I can't wait to see what year 3 has in store!

Throughout our everyday life, whether or not we realize it or not, we're constantly "encouraged" to feel like certain things are unbecoming of who we are as people. Some say that a man should never cry, while others argue that women have no place in technology; all horrible things that deny us of what our true passions are, and force us into a life of questioning because we're appeasing someone else rather than ourselves. And that's what I hope to break with you today, as we go through why it's perfectly fine to explore new activities, be more open with ourselves, and challenge the expectations others have placed upon us. Because only when we start listening to ourselves do we truly begin to live, and can we help others do the same.

We've all heard the saying "Boys will be boys," but how long have we allowed that kind of behavior to be tolerated? And more importantly, how deep has that kind of "Eh, there's nothing we can do about it," response permeated society and caused unjust hurt to all of us living in it? Sorry for the jargon - your boy has been reading some good books lately :) On today's episode though, we talk about some examples of microaggressions that are common within society as I speak to some of them I've experienced within this past week alone, as well as what can be done about them. We can't expect ourselves to change the world overnight, nor should we always step up to every issue, but we can be the leading change to make our world just a bit safer to live in.

Although I said it last time, I want to say it again but... bolder! HAPPY NEW YEAR! There we go.

2024 is officially in full swing, and some of us are still actively debating what our Resolutions are for the year; to be honest, I find myself adding new ones to my list every day. However, there's a certain key to making resolutions that a lot of us don't consider, and a certain mindset that you should take when setting yourself up for the year. You want to build yourself up for a great year, yeah? Then give this episode a listen, and hey, let me know what you come up with on the other side! I'm rooting for you!

Happy New Year! Or, New Years Eve if you're still in 2023 reading this - but 2023 is officially coming to a close, and it's time to look back on where this previous year has taken us. Or at least, that was the game plan, until I got a bit too heated about the joys of Holiday Shopping well after the holidays. Genuinely considering a Dash Cam for anyone who has good suggestions. Take this episode with a bit of salt, perhaps a splash of lime as well, and laugh away the 2023 pains as we get ready to welcome 2024!

On the last episode of PlumesCast, we talked in length about how to get ready for the holidays, but... what if you're not feeling the holiday vibe? What if you're stressed beyond all else because of work projects, or you're dreading talking to that one relative? Dude, I hear you, and I want to let you know you're not alone. That's why in today's episode, we're going through all the ways you can better prepare yourself for the holidays - or maybe skip them entirely. Just remember, however you spend the holidays, I hope you remember to put yourself first and do what you need to do.

Despite what the world will tell you, the holidays are more than mediocre deals and flashy wrapping paper! No, it's more about spending time with loved ones and friends alike, and sometimes it takes a little extra planning to make that seasonal sensation happen. Today's episode goes into how to properly budget for the homies, in one of many tangents of course. We also talk about the importance of taking time for yourself this holiday season, and not allowing yourself to get lost in the glitz and glamor everyone else may be flaunting. The holidays are all about coming together, after all, so grab your friends and enjoy today's episode together!
