In this pilot episode, I share why I created the original podcast titled Peace Under Pressure.

While it was a fun introduction to podcasting, I desired more for my project.

Essentially, it evolved; as I have.

New episodes are meant as educational and for self-improvement. I hope to empower listeners to believe in themselves and their purpose on this planet from a stoic lens.
