The Best Podcast

Hey. Today’s podcast is about courage and why I’m really happy that you can’t fake it. I take some turns into Star Wars nerd territory, along with some spurious thoughts about what it means to be courageous and some key distinctions. I hope you enjoy it and find it to be valuable despite my ramblings. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast, along with the ones ahead, are going to be tough ones for me. In this episode, I reflect on the formation of my new identity in Portuguese through speaking in constantly during my time in Brazil and how that is affecting me. Like I said, not easy stuff to work through mentally. However, I think there’s a happy moral of the story to be taken here, so give it a listen and let me know what you think. Thanks for listening. It means so much to me. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Yes. That is in fact an odd title. Probably not one you would expect from me at first glance. But I ask you to listen and give the thought a chance, as I think it’s quite a profound one if you can take a step back and grasp it. I hope you find it to be valuable and that it perhaps can shift your thinking a bit. Thanks again for listening. It really means a lot to me. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a reflection on the misalignment between popular media and music’s conception of romance and romance that is more optimal for well-being over time. As you will see, I think that this misalignment is concerning, and I wanted to take some time today to talk through why, plus some related thoughts about romance and relationships in general. I hope you enjoy the episode and find it to be valuable. That’s always my goal. Thanks for tuning in. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is my third conversation with Gabi. I really enjoyed it, as I always do. We wouldn’t be together if that wasn’t the case. In this episode, we talk about habits, which leads us into conversations about social media, exercise, fasting, and alcohol, with some math errors mixed in. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! As always, thanks so much for listening. It means a lot to me. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast stems from the ending of my most recent read - The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. I discuss a scenario he poses to the reader and the lessons to be taken from it. I found it to be quite profound, so I wanted to take some time to share it with you. As always, thanks so much for listening. I hope you’re finding these podcasts to be meaningful, enjoyable, and valuable. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast was a really important one for me. I discuss the availability heuristic - which is that we think and act in accordance with what is easily accessible in our minds - and the sizable implications that come with it. I will not say more, as I’d like you to tune in and engage more deeply with what I’m saying here. Thanks for listening. It means a lot to me. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a reflection on spending the past 2 months without meditation. In the months prior to arriving in Brazil, I had spent 15 minutes each morning meditating before doing anything else with my day. Since arriving, I stopped that habit. I’ve noticed some changes in my headspace through this change, which I wanted to spend some time discussing here. I hope you find it to be a valuable chat. Thanks for tuning in! As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is centered on a lyric from The Weeknd’s song “In Your Eyes.” In the beginning of the second verse, he says, “I tried to find love in someone else too many times.” Every time I’ve heard this line, it has provoked me to reflect on the many learnings that have come from my romantic pursuits. So I wanted to take some time here to discuss those reflections with you, as perhaps you’ll find them to valuable like I have. I hope you enjoy! As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

I had a topic planned out for this episode, but I decided to not discuss it this time. Instead, I got some stuff off my chest about some of my current frustrations. Episodes like this make me remember what this is really about - figuring out this whole life thing by talking about it out loud, with the odd chance that how I’m thinking about what I’m going through can be helpful to you. I hope you found this talk to be real, vulnerable, and meaningful. As always, thanks so much for listening. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
