The Best Podcast

This week has been a busy one! Work has been full with some additional responsibilities in addition to my normal duties, so it has asked a lot of me to focus and manage myself. I’ve enjoyed the experience, so I wanted to take a moment to reflect on that here. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a reflection on some takeaways from a dinner I had last night with some travelers. We were fortunate enough to dig into some of the deeper topics of our lives, which brought some meaningful takeaways that I wanted to share. I think you’ll find them useful and insightful. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a reading of my latest Substack post, which you can see here: https://www.mbest.substack.com/p/the-real-thing . I dig into the lavishness of proposals and marriages as a route to talking about quality relationships and what really matters in life. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Over the last two weekends, I’ve had some amazing runs here in Rio. The weather has been perfect, which combined perfectly with the immense beauty of this city. I describe what I experienced on these runs in today’s episode, along with what it means to me. I hope you enjoy it and can feel some of the positive emotions I share along with me. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a reading of my latest Substack post, which you can see here: https://mbest.substack.com/p/social-roles .

Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast digs into a small change I’ve made in recent months that has had some significant consequences, but not in the most positive way. This change led me to see how the timing of my phone use can make a big difference in how my mind operates throughout the day, which I think you will appreciate hearing. As always, thank you for listening. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a reflection on algorithms and their roles in our lives. It’s hard to enter any space these days that isn’t driven by an algorithm. Social media is the space where algorithms are taken to the max, totally usurping our agency with the force of catering to your unique desires and tastes. I argue here that we must be very thoughtful about the role algorithms play in our lives and offer some possible paths to manage them. I hope you enjoy it and find it insightful. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

What we consume consciously drives what our minds chew on in our subconscious. The “A-ha!” moment is not random. It is informed by what enters out minds, which we dictate through our choices of what to consume and how. I break this down further in this episode, which I hope you enjoy and learn from. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is another reflection on my recent dive into my autobiographical notes. I identify a few more meaningful takeaways I have gotten out of this experience and share them with you. Perhaps you can relate in some way, and if you cannot, then I still think there will be something useful to consider here. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a recording of my latest Substack post, titled “The False Pendulum” (https://mbest.substack.com/p/the-false-pendulum). I discuss my experiences maneuvering between confidence and humility and the important realization about that maneuvering that I came to over time. I hope you find value in this lesson of life. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
