Talk Kozy To Me

Starting a podcast isn’t difficult, but there are a number of steps you’ll need to go through in order to get it launched. This episode is an overlook of our journey and how far we’ve come since starting our podcast Talk Kozy To Me.

There are two big questions you need to ask yourself here:

1. What's your podcast for? You can identify your “why” here. This is important to keep in mind so that you can stay motivated

2. Who is your podcast for? Sketch out exactly who it is that you'd like to listen to your content and start with the topics that are easy for you to talk about. 

You can create a successful podcast today! Do your research, listen to some of the podcasts that are already doing what you want to do. If you already have an external microphone, record a short episode introducing yourself and your podcast idea. Get comfortable talking into a microphone for a long period of time (practicing and familiarity will always make it easy) and then listen to yourself afterward.

Websites and apps. Who’d have thought that in this day and age that these would be the tools to help you meet that significant other? Over the past couple of years, as online dating has grown in popularity, it’s grown in a lot of other ways too. The apps we use have changed, the way we communicate has changed, and the social norms have changed too. Technology moves fast and, as a result, so does the way we use it. If you’re single trying to online date, it can be hard to keep up at times. That’s why we went straight to the source and asked a man's perspective to give us some tips on dating and spill the beans on what they’re looking for.

When you’re looking for good dating advice it’s best to get a mix of opinions and perspectives. Sometimes you may go to your girlfriends, your mom, or you’ll search online to see what the "experts" say. While our male counterparts can confuse the heck out of us, sometimes they can be the best when it comes to dishing out dating advice.

First impressions are super important - That slightly faded sweater you consider lucky might want to stay at home when it comes to meeting your date for the first time. Show them that you care about yourself, take the time to have a shower, and put on something appealing. Get that date off to a good start, giving you one less thing to worry about.

Don't play games & be honest - We get it, we really do. You don't want to seem needy, clingy, desperate or overbearing. But hey, if you had a good date, you connected and felt like there is or could be something there, then just let them know. You could say - “this was great, would you be open to seeing each other again sometime?” It’s as easy as that. I know in films they always leave it a couple of days, some even say three days is the perfect window before contact… but then again this is real life.

We enter into dating thinking we are going to find that perfect mate, and sometimes we don’t consider a lot of factors when we begin to date someone. Some of these tips may help you make much better decisions when you decide to start dating.

What’s the best way to approach a woman? What should you say? What shouldn't you say? Struggling to get a woman's attention? Do women still want you to pay on the first date? Do women still like it when you make the first move? 

These are some questions we can answer for you (based on experiences and our opinions).. Maybe we can help! 

With so many things happening on how we date, it changes every day, sometimes it helps to get a woman’s perspective! Men are often saying they don’t understand women, but I really think we’re not as complicated as you might think. In this episode, we talk about some of the most desirable traits we look for in men, along with some dating tips for attracting women. We have some advice on what ladies are looking for and what we wish men would do more often.

Like all advice, it’s good to take all of this feedback with a grain of salt. After all, it’s good to get a woman’s perspective but it’s also good to remember that the advice is coming from one point of view. Don’t forget to talk to your friends too. See what your family thinks. Or go to the experts. Because when it comes to dating and relationships, there isn’t one solid answer, one way to meet people, or even one approach finding the one for you. Listen to what others say, be open-minded, and consider different perspectives. Then try things out for yourself and find what works for you.

Have you heard about the Law of Attraction or is this just a new thing for you?

The law of attraction is a philosophy suggesting that positive thoughts bring positive results into a person's life, while negative thoughts bring negative outcomes.

"Thoughts become things." You create your own reality. What you focus on is what you draw into your life.

Does age matter?

... in RELATIONSHIPS, EDUCATION and CAREER.

*How much of an age gap is ok in relationships?

*Would you be comfortable going back to school when you're the oldest person in class?

*Is it often harder for older workers to secure new jobs? Are we really living with the hype about "out with the old, in with the new"?

These are only some of the questions we ask and talk about on this Episode. Does age really matter? For some, yes. For some, no. We all have different upbringings that shape how we view certain things. 

Enjoy this episode and let us know your opinions.

“So, how did you guys meet?”

When you’re in a relationship, it’s almost certain you’ll get this question in one form or another, whether it’s from your parents, siblings, friends, or even co-workers.

For many, the answer is a dating site or an app. Let’s face it, online dating is a bit of a minefield!

This episode talks about the different choices when it comes to navigating the dating app pool. As we all know, finding romance is a bit more complicated than a simple swiping right (or left) of the thumb on Tinder, and now you have to construct witty profiles on Hinge. But not all apps are exclusive to romantic matches with platforms like Bumble, having a business buddy and BFF networking feature to boot.

Have you ever had that moment when you question about life? What is the meaning of life or what's my purpose in life? 

We've all been through that or you're maybe experiencing it right now. 

Another question you might ask is, what if I die never accomplishing anything better than what I have right now?

This episode is about EXISTENTIAL CRISIS, trying to find YOUR TRUE SELF.

We're continuing our conversation about MOVING OUT and LIVING WITH A SIBLING.

Let's take a trip down memory lane! We talk about what it's like living with a sibling, the challenges, things we've learned after leaving home, the arguments, and, of course, the good times.

We all know that feeling of having a rent free bedroom, home cooked meal, no concern for electricity bills, browsing the internet that we don't have to pay... And we sit there thinking, "Ahh, I can't wait to live on my own.”

Moving out of home seems like the most exciting event of our lives. Imagining having that freedom, friends arriving at anytime, ordering take-outs, doing laundry whenever you want. Finally, you're independent! Well, it turns out, being independent is not as fun as you expected it to be.

This episode talks about the process, lessons learned, and tips we wish we knew before moving out of home.
