Kareem Daniel Ryce is on the mic! Thanks to Miss Liz and her introduction, I lined up a call with Kareem, who's down in Trinidad and Tobago.

With a simple question behind the podcast, isn't it great that I can cross paths with people like Kareem?

Arguably living in different worlds, we met and he shared his experience coping with schizophrenia.

Although thousands of kilometres and oceans apart, we could still meet halfway to discuss mental health and the stigma people face around these mental hardships.

Oh. We also talked shop around rhymes, art, and moving the needle by verse and sharp lyrics.

Thanks, Kareem. You're quite the inspiration.

What's your T-E-A? Such a simple question that's at the heart of Liz Gagnon and her mission to bring people together.

The fates wanted us to meet, and we quickly sat for a call. Speaking from her home in Canada, Liz quickly showed how her other-centeredness and generosity manifest. First, by her work as a Peace Ambassador.

Next, through her regular conversations to share and even spill some T-E-A. What is it to share one's TEA? It's under the umbrella of Miss Liz's T-E-A, which is Teaching-Educational-Awareness.

Share, heal, grow and connect through the flow of tea we spill through our journeys – that's her invitation and platform.

Thank you so much Miss Liz.

Your TEA is astounding!

We met on Peng Chau, one of Hong Kong's outlying islands, and we meandered to his home where we set up and sat for a heart-to-heart, or tête-a-tête.

Here is a creative spirit who has dedicated years to the craft of photography. So hire him when you need it, but also enter his world to learn what it is to walk around with a camera in order to capture that... That... Ineffable side of your reality and surroundings.

Need some inspiration to living a good life and making every second count? Well start with this one with Alex Macro. Maybe you too will end up writing love letters to people and places you love and even don't like.

Thanks Alex. You're amazing.

Aaron Landis. Paging Aaron Landis to the nomad's courtesy phone.

Neshama. That's who and what Aaron is. We met at The Center, a tower in Hong Kong with a Subway restaurant inside. This was years ago. From the start, I knew he was a hell of an entrepreneurial spirit.

Across Covid, I saw he was living the life with his, "another tough day at the office" photos. Shots of the blue sky and piercing Mediterranean. No idea what's going on, but these scenes were out of this world.

So we set a time, set up the call, and here... We... GO!

Want to learn about what it is to be a business owner, to then shift over to a digital nomad wandering by sea and sail, to islands and more?

Then sit with us. Join us to hear more from how this ambitious soul is ghost writing, bringing people together to sail and feel great, and how Aaron evolved from a dead head to a live wire.

BOOM.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Freddy Effin Cruz! We set up the call and connected as he's based in Houston, Texas. What an amazing human.

After years of dedication and years of running an award-winning radio show, Freddy took the entrepreneurial plunge into building Speke Podcasting, a network and platform that he's using to unite and inspire.

On top of that, he's dedicated himself to helping make Houston a model city for animal welfare, starting with the city's issues dog strays and animal abuse. And if that wasn't enough, he's also written three novels!

Join us and simmer in Freddy's infectious energy and goodness.
