The Best Podcast

Today’s podcast opens the door to a topic I spoke about long ago. Alcohol use is so pervasive to the point where we sometimes don’t even see it because it’s so normalized. My experience in relation to this has been unique, as I haven’t drunk alcohol since I was 6. I share that experience and my conclusions in today’s episode. Thank you for taking the time to listen. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a special one for me. Gabi and I set out to have a totally different conversation, but ended up having this one, in which we dug into her anxiety, thoughts and feelings in social situations, traumas that may have built those aspects of herself, and how to process them. It was a beautiful interaction and really highlights the many characteristics I appreciate about her. I hope you sense that in this conversation. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is inspired by a conversation I had with Gabi at the gym about making workout plans and routines. It’s easy to look around at others and try to do what they do, but it’s not a guarantee that this is the best thing you could do or if it would even work for you. Instead, I recommend we look to the evidence base out there to help inform how we construct our fitness protocols. There are a lot of great profiles out there where you can start your learning journey, which I talk about here and hope you find to be valuable. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast digs into an important tool for building self-worth that I’ve incorporated pretty deeply into my personal operating system. Compassion, understanding, removing the ego, and comprehending the nature of who we are and how we come to be in this world are not easy tasks, but they are simple and doable. I talk through what I mean by that in this episode, which I hope you find to be valuable and thought provoking. Thank you for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

After not posting for nearly two years, I’ve returned to social media for a reflection on the time that has passed since that last post. I touch on my journaling habits, my relationship, struggling with my identity, and my appreciation for Gabi. It was a set of special words for me, which I hope you can perceive in this episode. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast’s roots lie in my wedding experience over the weekend. There is definitely a strong social norm against men crying in public. I’ve felt it since I was a very young boy, and recent reflections over the past few years have helped me to understand that crying is independent of strength (depending on how it’s handled). We can be sensitive without losing our strength. I share more about this topic in the episode. I hope you enjoyed it. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care

Gabi and I are officially married. A week ago, we spent some time together to talk about it in a fun, wandering conversation. Our love is such a beautiful thing. I can’t wait to see what this eternity ahead brings about for us. I hope you enjoy this and stick around for future conversations to come. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast marks the end of a 5-part series reviewing my fourth quarter of 2022 (http://mattbest.net/theplatform/quarter-four-2022). In this episode, I speak about topics from the value of writing in testing the coherence of our thoughts to the importance of small adjustments in comparison to massive flips in life. I hope you find it to be a valuable set of learnings and that you are inspired to reflect using a similar system in your own life. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is the fourth in a series of five readings of the newest article on my blog (mattbest.net/theplatform/quarter-four-2022), which is my reflection on the fourth quarter of 2022. It’s my eighth one of these articles already, which is pretty cool to me. In this episode, I speak about the caution we must exercise when communicating through jokes and sarcasm to the value of having a confidant (or, even better, multiple confidants) in life. I hope you find it to be a valuable set of learnings and continue to tune in for the final episode. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is the third in a series of readings of the newest article on my blog (mattbest.net/theplatform/quarter-four-2022), which is my reflection on the fourth quarter of 2022. It’s my eighth one of these articles already, which is pretty cool to me. In this episode, I speak about the importance of realizing just how little we know to how AÍ may evolve in its role in human-to-human centered work. I hope you find it to be a valuable set of learnings and continue to tune in for the following episodes. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
