- Parenting: The Ultimate Creative Journey | Interview with Rookie Father Kendall Smith #45
Where does creativity and fatherhood meet? Isn't a father far different from a creative?
Our guest for this week had a epiphany that the road to being a good father is akin to the hero's/ creative's journey. We talk about that and other things like, how his background of being raised by a single mum affected him, and how he makes time to write even while being present for his son.
Kendall Smith is an author and dedicated father. His latest book 'Rookie Father' is a playbook offering pragmatic advice to men experiencing fatherhood for the first time.

Original Theme Music by Adrian Lee34 min - Who is a Hero in Real Life? #Ep44
How do you define a hero? For me, it's someone who not only transforms the lemons that life throws at them into lemonade, but they actually also become the lemonade fix in and of themselves. They not only transform the world around them, but become the alchemist of their own person.

Original Theme Music by Adrian Lee28 min - Why You Focusing on Yourself is Better for the World #42
Self-focus is too often confused with selfishness and self indulgence. Yet it is not so. Say, when there's an emergency, airline personnel always advise that you put on your own oxygen mask before you try to help others with theirs. Right? So why do we guilt trip ourselves or others over boundaries we create for ourselves? Isn't there such a thing as over-empathy?

What’s the secret to having a fulfilling career in Hollywood? Nay, a fulfilling life anywhere?
I asked my friend, the actor Iman Nazemzadeh, and his response was unequivocally: serve others. Over good old Taiwanese tea, he served me gems from his life experiences as a painter, actor and son of an Iranian man. Listen in for all that tea.
