The Best Podcast

Today’s podcast is about justice. It’s a new topic for the podcast, but that should not take away from its importance in the world. It’s something we need to think about more if we want to create a better society. To discuss this, I talk through various ideas about justice from the past and where I fall within that spectrum of ideas. I hope you find the discussion to be meaningful and insightful. Perhaps it’ll inspire you to do some thinking on your own. Thanks so much for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a conversation I had with Gabi about language, culture, and Brazil. We covered a lot of ground here and had a lot of fun doing it. I’m really curious to hear your thoughts on this episode, as I threw a lot of ideas out there to which I’d really like to get reactions. Email me those thoughts - [email protected]. Thanks so much for tuning in! As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

The mental simplification of our world helps us to make sense of reality, but it leads us to missing the truth. Today’s podcast elaborates on this point, along with a plea for us to think more critically about how we discuss causes and effects. I hope you find this to be a thoughtful and meaningful discussion. Thanks for tuning in. I am so grateful. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast veers away from talk about books and broader ideas and instead focuses on a personal experience of mine from a year and a half ago. It’s something my mind goes to every now and then, and it is quite an impactful reminder for me when it appears. Because of that, I wanted to discuss it here with you, as perhaps you might be able to learn from it, too. As always, thanks so much for listening. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast follows the previous episode in a discussion of Benedict Spinoza’s book Ethics. I found his ideas to be incredibly eye-opening, so I wanted to dedicate an episode here to discussing them and the key learnings I took from the book. I sincerely believe that his conception of the good life is one that could benefit all of us. As always, thanks so much for listening. I am so grateful to you for engaging with me and these ideas. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

God is a topic I have seemingly actively avoided throughout my last 392 episodes. I certainly have a history with “God”, yet I struggled to find a way to conceptualize God in a manner that was sensible and convincing to me. There is one way that I’ve recently come across that hit this bar for me, and that is Spinoza’s conception of God in his book Ethics. So in this episode, I dive into that conception as simply as I can for you to reflect on and ponder. I hope you find this reflection meaningful and perhaps even eye opening. Thanks for listening. It means a lot to me. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast dives into an important reflection I recently had. This reflection was about the importance of understanding the roots of one’s culture and traditions, especially when it comes to the prerequisites to understanding another culture. Inherently within that as well is the importance of understanding the self. I discuss a couple of references where I’ve heard this idea before and build out why I think this knowledge is so meaningful. I hope you enjoy this episode and find the message to be valuable. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Over the last 26 days, I’ve been journaling every night. I’ve never journaled like this before, so this has been a really new and eye opening experience for me. Today, I share with you my experience developing this habit and what I’ve gotten from it. I hope you find it to be valuable and meaningful, perhaps enough so for you to give it a shot for yourself. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Well, that’s a really basic title, eh? Why yes. Yes it is. That’s because the topic of this conversation is fairly basic when it comes down to it, yet we often miss the whole picture with it. Exercise is critical for higher well-being. “Duh,” may have been your response to that point. However, the reasons why it’s critical for higher well-being go beyond the physical and we often miss them in discussion. So, this episode is dedicated to those factors - the mental ones. I hope you enjoy listening and perhaps learn something new from it. As always, thanks so much for listening. I can’t thank you enough. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
