  • Episode 439: For My Dad
    Today’s podcast is for my dad. It’s Father’s Day in the US today, so I wanted to take some time to reflect on our relationship and share a few things that I love and appreciate about him. Of course, I forgot to say so much, but I at least got to express some highlights that came to mind here. I hope you enjoy it and that you find the things I’ve learned from him to be valuable. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

    Today’s podcast is a very personal story from my life. It’s a story of love, heartbreak, errors in judgement, hard pills to swallow, and emergent growth.

I hope that you find value and meaning in this. It’s one of the most intense podcasts I’ve recorded thus far, and I hope you can sense that easily while listening.

  • Episode 436: Some Advice for Young People
    Today’s podcast is based on a piece of advice I received today which I think applies really well for many young people. It’s about the value of a growth mindset, patience, focusing on one’s own path, and time. It’s one of my better episodes in recent memory I think, so I hope you enjoy it and find it to be valuable. As always, thanks for listening. It means a lot to me. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 435: New Angles and Depth
    Today’s podcast is a brief message about the value of exposing yourself to friends and others who get you to see yourself and life in a deeper way. I’m trying to maintain more organization in my thoughts, so I hope this concise episode can be the start of an improvement in that. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 434: Connected
    Today’s podcast is about connections and why the people in our networks influence us so much, above and beyond what we may initially think. The types of people in our lives can determine a truly great deal. The podcast admittedly tails off at the end because of some commotion in my house in the background. I tried to push through, but one’s attentional capacity can only be so strong I suppose. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 433: A New Transition
    Today’s podcast marks a new period for me. I moved out of my apartment last weekend and it proved to be an emotional experience. My roommate of five years and I headed our separate ways and said our goodbyes. This episode is dedicated to him, with some concluding remarks on what lies ahead. Onward we go. Thanks for listening. It means a lot to me. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 432: An Important Skill
    I have come to realize that one of the most important, yet small, skills that I value is the ability to talk about or be curious about things that do not interest you, especially in social settings. The benefits are quite significant, which I discuss here, and I’m really convinced that this skill can take us a long way. I hope you enjoy the discussion and find the message to be a valuable one. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 431: Plenty to Process
    This podcast comes off of a weekend of some great conversations that covered tons of topics. Some on which I had a lot of knowledge, some on which I was a novice, and some in between. I took some time here to talk through my experience of those conversations, what I took away from them, ways to process disagreement and challenging subjects, and how I adjust my thinking following these types of conversations. I hope you found the monologue to be valuable and coherent. Thanks so much for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

  • Episode 430: The Narrative Fallacy
    Today’s podcast covers the narrative fallacy, a concept that comes up in Nassim Taleb’s book, The Black Swan, along with many other works of cognitive psychology. It’s a fallacy which has significant implications, so I wanted to take some time to discuss it here. As always, I hope you found this podcast to be valuable and interesting. Thank you for listening. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
