  • Episode 479: São Paulo Plus Reflections
    I’m back after a week’s hiatus! Today’s podcast starts as a reflection on my time away in São Paulo with Gabi and then maneuvers its way into a number of reflections and learnings about myself and my environment that I’ve felt a need to get off of my chest. It’s a particularly vulnerable and self-examining episode, but it’s one that felt good putting out into the world. I hope you enjoy it. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 478: Four Years of Podcasting
    It has been four years since I recorded the first episode of this podcast. So much has happened over that time, both in my own life and in the world in which I find myself, as a small grain in the vast desert. This episode is a reflection on all of those episodes and all of the life that has passed. I still marvel at it all to no end. I hope you find some value in the reflection I present here. Your attention means more to me than you know. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care. Here’s to many more years of The Best Podcast.

  • Episode 477: Back It Up
    Today’s podcast addresses an idea that has been recurring in my head for a long time. If you really believe in something, what behavioral indicator support that belief? If you’re recommending something to someone else, are you doing it / have you done it too in your own life? These are questions I think we need to contend with more, which I bring to the fore in this episode. I hope you enjoy it, find it valuable, and perhaps even think it’s relevant to your own life. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 476: A View from the Driver’s Seat
    Today’s podcast is one in which I reminisce on a quote from an unknown author, which goes like this. “There’s a reason why the windshield is bigger than the rear view mirror.” Perhaps hearing this quote will click for you like it did for me upon first hearing it. If not, don’t worry. I focus on what the quote means and its relevance to life in this episode. I hope you find the message to be meaningful and useful. Thanks for listening. It means a lot. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 475: Expensive Now, Cheap Later
    Today’s podcast is about a line I read in a newsletter recently that jumped out at me. It was this - “What seems expensive is often cheap in the long run.” This quote came from the Farnam Street blog’s newsletter from Shane Parrish. It’s one I enjoy and recommend, as it’s the only newsletter I subscribe to. I hope you find my explanation of the quote to be valuable in some way. Thanks for tuning in. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 474: Relationship Check-in Questions
    Today’s podcast is a sampling of relationship check-in questions that Kat Cole published. I really like the questions and think the practice of doing this once a month with your partner could be quite positively transformative. For that reason, I wanted to share them with you here. I hope you find some value in them and the practice, whether you’re in a romantic relationship or not. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 473: The Time Dimension
    Today’s podcast is a series of reflections on the time dimension, which I consider to be the forgotten dimension. Despite how much power it holds, we are prone to overlooking it. I wanted to acknowledge that and talk about it here, as it has been a recurring theme in my head over the last few weeks and years of my life. I hope you find the reflections to be valuable and interesting. Perhaps they will serve you on some way as well. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 472: Passing Us By
    What we see in the news and in popular consciousness often moves us and riles us up. Many significant events and issues have come to the forefront over the past year or so, yet they have all seemingly passed us by quite quickly. What should we make of that? This is the question and the topic I pose in today’s episode. I hope you find it to be a meaningful conversation. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 471: A Couple of Things
    Today’s podcast is a quick reflection on a couple of things that have surfaced in my experience that I wanted to share. The first focuses on how easily we may take some things for granted and the second focuses on the balances between having enough information and all of the information. I hope you find the messages to be valuable and meaningful. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 470: Running Away
    Today’s podcast is a reflection on running away from what we don’t want to talk about (but know we need to). Whether that be a personal problem, something subtle that we’re noticing that is eating away at us, or anything else that is coming up in our minds recurrently. My main thesis here is that allowing the world and time to solve our problems for us is not as good of a strategy as stepping into it, not running away, and addressing it. I hope you enjoy the monologue and find value in what I’m sharing here. Thank you for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
