  • Episode 579: On Intentionality
    Today’s podcast is in a topic I previously discussed once before here. It’s an idea that I held firmly for some time, but slipped away. I’m extremely grateful to have it back, and it is with this gratitude in mind and heart that I record this episode. It is a manifesto on how I see intentionality and its benefits. I sincerely how that you enjoy this and find it to be valuable. I am also grateful for the time you take to listen to this. It means a lot. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 578: Identifying with the Antagonist
    Today’s podcast is based in a recent quote I heard on a podcast. It was that great literature is that in which one can identify with the antagonist. It made me stop to really think and to reflect on it. I thought it was quite a meaningful point, so I took some time to talk through it here to share why I thought it was indeed so meaningful. I hope you find it to be, too. Thanks so much for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 577: Gabi Talks about Her Business
    After some months, Gabi returns! This time, we talk about her career journey and her business. We get into why she went into design and fashion, how she liked math but hasn’t been able to play with the subject as much as she would like in recent years, building her business during the pandemic, and her ambitions for the future. It was a fun conversation that brought plenty of laughs and insights. I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 576: Non-Conversational Politics
    Today’s podcast is inspired by the upcoming election here in Brazil, which has brought with it an intense political climate. I’ve seen a decent amount of content about the candidates and the problems of each party, and it has led me to some thoughts that I think we should have in mind when it comes to the ways in which we interact in spaces of political conversations. I hope that you can resonate with them and find them to be useful and applicable in your interactions in these spaces. It’s tough stuff, but I really believe these ideas can help. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 575: High School Romance and Chasing
    Today’s podcast was inspired by a recent dive into some old photos from 8+ years ago. It brought back all sorts of memories of who I was back then and an awareness of just how different I am now. I talk about how I’ve changed and what I would do differently back then with my current knowledge. I hope you find this to be an interesting reflection that inspires your own retrospection. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 574: Be More Specific
    Today’s podcast is about why we would benefit from being more specific when we say things to ourselves in our own heads and also when we engage with others on challenging topics. When we are more specific, the terrain becomes easier to navigate and we are less likely to tell ourselves things that are blanket statements that caricature reality. I hope that this message gets across to you and that your find it to be valuable. It’s an idea I take very seriously and strive to apply with my best effort. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 573: Silver Linings
    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.

  • Episode 572: A Conversation with João Paiva
    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.

  • Episode 571: Reacting to a Waiter at Bahl
    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.

  • Episode 570: 5 Relationships for a Successful Career
    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.
