The Best Podcast

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.

Today’s podcast is a continuation of my reading of my new blog post, which you can see at mattbest.net/theplatform/quarter-two-2021 . I hope you enjoy the episode and the reflections I’ve pulled from the last three and a half months. I’ve come to really appreciate these articles and time for reflection. I hope you can see why. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care. More to come!

Today’s podcast is the first of a few that will cover my learnings from quarter two, for which you can find the full written version at mattbest.net/theplatform/quarter-two-2021 . This process of writing each night, reviewing all of my writings at the end of a quarter, pulling out key themes, then expanding on them, has been incredibly rich and insightful for me. I hope that you can pick up on that when engaging in these episodes. Thanks for listening, and I hope to see you for the next part! As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

A member of my closest friend group will be starting a new journey as he moves across the country at the end of the week. To honor him, we’ve spent some quality time together this week and have reflected on the meaning if this friendship we have built. This episode is an embodiment of that reflection. I hope you can relate to some aspects of your own friendships in what I mentioned here. It’s a truly beautiful thing. As always, thanks for listening. It means a lot. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is about a person who is a top level professional in his field from whom I think we can all learn. He’s a rapper named Russ from Atlanta whose journey is a unique and inspiring one. I think you’ll find the takeaways I share about Russ can be applied to your own life in some area. As always, thanks for listening. It means a lot to me. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
