Today’s podcast is a series of musings on love that are inspired by a recent conversation I had with a friend about their current situation. I get into topics like vulnerability, insecurities, being enough, self-esteem, and the roots of pain. I hope you find the discussion to be interesting and relatable. I certainly find talking about these things to be fascinating whenever I get the chance. Thank you for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

I got the chance to meet a friend in person who I’ve been connected to virtually for over 5 years this week. It was so great to make this human connection and to sit down together over brunch. She studies demography, so naturally I was curious to hear more about what she’s studying and is interested in. We got to discussing life expectancy and what the number means, and doesn’t mean, which I found to be quite eye opening. In this episode, I share the highlights of some takeaways from that conversation. I hope you enjoy it and find it to be insightful. Thank you for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast comes on the back of working with Gabi to help her get organized around some problems she is currently trying to resolve. Frequently, we hear advice like “write about it” or “talk to someone about it.” These pieces of advice are good first steps, but they lack some key nuances that are important for us to take into account to overcome those problems. I talk about the approach we took and why I think it’s more effective in this episode, which I hope you find to be valuable for yourself or someone else in your life. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast comes in the midst of a week of travel. I visited the Iguazú falls, which sit on the border of Brazil and Argentina. The experience of the falls was absolutely incredible. I take some time to discuss that here, along with talking through some big picture learnings about travel that I’ve taken away so far. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and I hope you find it to be valuable. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast stems from a rare experience in which I watched a Tucker Carlson interview. He recently sat down with Jair Bolsonaro, the current president of Brazil, to discuss his political platform. The conversation, and the commentary Carlson gave around it, inspired a lot of thoughts about today’s current news environment, which I share in this episode. I hope you find it to be interesting and eye opening. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a reflection that is fairly integrative across a number of recent experiences that I have had traveling over the last couple of weeks. I got to witness the victory speech of Colombia’s incoming President Gustavo Petro in person in Bogotá, where a number of ideas clicked for me. I wanted to take some time to discuss it here. I hope you enjoy it and find it to be a refreshing reminder. Thanks so much for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
