Today’s podcast is a short reflection on a lot of thinking and experience. It’s a message I’ve taken for myself, which I hope remains with me over time. I hope the hiccups don’t deter you from engaging with the message I’m hoping to transmit. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a monologue about a habit of mine. I tend to take notes on a lot of things in life - whether it’s podcasts I’m listening to, random thoughts that come to mind, or books I’m reading. I’ve gotten into the habit of organizing those notes into what I call a “big picture” journal. I’ve come to learn that some great thinkers have done this before me and have done it much better than I have, like Thomas Jefferson and Ryan Holiday. This made me want to talk about what the habit has done for me and why I’d recommend it. I hope you find the discussion to be valuable and meaningful. As always, thanks so much for listening. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a highlight of one of the most important lessons I’ve ever learned. Life does not pass us by, and it certainly does not fly by, if we learn to take the opportunity of experience that each moment provides. I discuss this learning in this episode, which I hope sticks with you. Thank you for listening and engaging with my content. It means a lot to me. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast stems from a conversation I had a couple of weeks ago about some data on COVID hospitalizations in Israel. On the face, it doesn’t seem so interesting. However, the lessons to be taken from this conversation and the way of thinking applied to it are really important for our public dialogue, understanding, and decision making. I hope you find the reflections I list here to be meaningful, valuable, and relevant in your life. I appreciate you listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a reading of my most recent psychological well-being check-in, which I did in the car over the weekend as my family and I traveled to see some family in a different state. I hadn’t done a check-in like this since the end of 2019, so I was really happy to come back to it and do it. It proved to be really valuable, which I hope you can pick up here in this episode. Perhaps it’ll inspire you to do a similar reflection of your own. As always, I appreciate you taking the time to listen. It means a lot. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is about a really brief song lyric from one of my favorite musicians - Natiruts. It’s a song called “Quero Ser Feliz Também,” or in English, “I Want to Be Happy Too.” It’s a beautiful song, which I’d recommend you listen to. In the song, there is a repeated line of “Flores brancas, paz, Iemanjá,” which translates to “white flowers, peace, Yemanya.” I take today’s episode to break down what this means, how it resonates in Brazilian culture, and what it has come to mean to me. It was a lot of fun for me, so I hope you enjoy it and find it to be valuable. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

In today’s podcast, I take a step back to reflect on one of my favorite and most used phrases - “slow down.” I find it to be constantly relevant to my own life but also to the lives of others that I observe. I hope you can see why in the episode. Thanks for listening. It means a lot to me. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a reflection on the concept of love, particularly with the way we talk about it and think about it. It’s a word that we use a lot, yet we rarely sit down to ask ourselves what we really mean when we say it. This episode is a reflection on the value of asking ourselves those questions, despite how infrequently we seem to do it. I hope you find this to be a new, thoughtful, and meaningful monologue. I appreciate you listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s episode is the last one of a series of four in which I’ve laid out my learnings from the past quarter of the year. It continues to amaze me just how much one can learn if you sit down and pay attention to yourself and to life. These episodes are the result of that process. I hope you find the lessons I divulge here to be valuable and useful in your own life. Perhaps they will serve you better than they serve me. Your engagement with these ideas and reflections means so much to me. It does not go unnoticed. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is the third set of learnings from my reflections on quarter two, which I started two episodes ago. There will be a fourth and final episode of these coming out in a couple of days. If you’re curious to see the entire piece in one place, head over to mattbest.net/theplatform/quarter-two-2021. As always, thanks for listening. It means a lot. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
