Today’s podcast is about silver linings. Not the playbook with Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper, but rather the good learnings and takeaways that we can pull out of the challenging situations and experiences we face in life. It’s easy to sit with the negatives and to be overwhelmed by them, yet if we look hard enough, there are typically lessons and learnings that can make us better versions of ourselves if we decide to act upon them. I spend some time talking through some personal examples here as a way of encouraging you to search for these silver linings in your own life. I hope you find the message to be a meaningful and convincing one. Thank you for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is my first conversation in some time. It’s also about a topic that I haven’t really gotten to discuss on the podcast. I invited my friend, João Paiva, for a conversation about physics. We start with what physics is, and then dig into what interested him about physics, why it’s valuable, what his area of speciality is, and the value of science for the public. There was a lot of cool topics that came up in the interaction, so I hope that you enjoy listening and that you find it to be eye-opening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast comes a bit from out of the blue. I was at a restaurant called Bahl tonight in Rio and had a weird set of interactions with the restaurant staff. It was something I’ve never really experienced before, so I wanted to take some time hear to clear my head and talk about it. Perhaps it will inspire you to be more observant in future dining experiences. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

In a conversation I had with Gabi this evening, we talked about a recent article she read in the Harvard Business Review about “the five relationships we need to build a successful career.” I thought the content was really useful, so I discuss it here. I also dig into an issue I have with the title and work through the ideas it sparked for me. I hope you find it to be a thought provoking reflection. I appreciate you listening to me and spending your time here. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast comes from an audio message I sent to a friend who is coming off of an abrupt ending to their relationship. They asked me about the ways to prevent these feelings of pain and heartbreak in the future, to which I responded with this message. I tried to reframe the premise they laid out to something that is more fit to what I’ve come to understand about love. I hope you find this to be useful and that you can resonate with it. These topics are always interesting for me to dive into, so I hope it interests you as well. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

I recently finished rereading Jonathan Haidt’s book The Righteous Mind. It’s one of my favorite books. Rereading it brought me a lot of really meaningful learnings. This episode is just a small portion of my big takeaways from the book. I hope that you enjoy it and find it to be as interesting as I did. Thanks so much for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
