The Best Podcast

Hey everyone. This was a tough podcast to record. It’s a particularly emotional topic, as it is one that has to do with the foundations of democracy and civil discourse. But nevertheless, I wanted to take a shot at it. I can’t say I covered everything, but I did get through some critical points that I want you all to hear and engage with. I hope you find the conversation to be valuable and meaningful. This is one of those podcasts that I will highlight as one of my best and most important pieces. I hope you feel the same way. Thanks so much for tuning in. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is based on a quote - “There is much more of the world than there is of you... so you must choose what to see and let the rest go.” The quote is from the book Twelve Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson. This quote is particularly relevant for me in the position I’m in in my life, so I wanted to discuss it and share my personal experience, as perhaps you may find yourself in a similar situation. Whether you do or do not, I hope you find it to be a valuable reflection. As always, thanks so much for listening. It means a lot to me. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is one I’ve been super excited to do for a long time. It’s a conversation with a very special someone for me - Gabi. My secret journey was to come live with her and her family for a while, which is why we were finally able to do this together. This conversation meant a lot to me, and I’m happy to say that it will be the first of many more (if Gabi lets me). I hope you enjoyed the conversation and the authenticity we both brought into it. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a review of the goals I set for myself in 2020. I haven’t really looked at them since before the pandemic, but reading through them today was really fun. There was unexpectedly a lot of successes in 2020, yet there were certainly failures to go along with them. I hope that you enjoy hearing this and perhaps feel inspired to do something similar for 2021. Your attention means the world to me and I cannot thank you enough for the time you take to listen. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is about making a choice - the choice of which sacrifice to make. Either we choose our sacrifice or the world chooses for us. Which path should we take? Well, if you give this a listen, you’ll get my two cents. Thanks as always for listening. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Happy new year to you! Thanks for taking the time to listen today. This podcast isn’t really about 2021 at all. It’s a reflection that I had which combined a meditation I recently did and a recent personal experience. I wanted to share it because I think it’s a relatable topic for all of us. The way we frame our experiences and our day-to-day thoughts can play a significant role in how we see ourselves, how we see others, how we feel, and what we do. I hope you find this reflection to be meaningful and valuable. Maybe you’ll even take up my suggestion for 2021. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a reading of an article titled “Player” from my blog, which you can find at mattbest.net/theplatform/player . It wasn’t easy for me to write, and it wasn’t everything I want to fully get out there and hash out, but it’s a good start. I hope you enjoyed it and found it to be a valuable listen. Thanks so much for tuning in, and welcome to Season 10. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

A new chapter is coming. Next episode, I’ll be in a very new place with a new set of eyes and a fresh perspective. Thanks so much again for listening. It really does mean a tremendous amount to me. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast stems from a recent episode on the Lex Fridman Podcast with a guest named Michael Mina, who is an epidemiologist, immunologist, and physician at Harvard. In the episode, he discussed his vision of testing and the options that are out there that we’re simply not executing on. It was frustrating to hear, but also critically important to hear. So here I am today, discussing it for you to hear about it, too. I hope you enjoy it and find it to be valuable. Please share it with a friend if you think so. Thanks so much for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care. Lastly - here’s the link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=L-RuvUkcyJI&feature=youtu.be

Today’s podcast concludes my series on Gandhi. It is focused on a set of paragraphs on the last page of the book which I found to be so deeply moving. In the episode, I read these paragraphs and reflect on them aloud. If you’re going to listen to any episode of mine, this would be one of the ones I’d recommend. I hope you enjoyed this episode and the series as a whole. Gandhi’s thinking and writings have shaped me so much and I hope that these episodes may offer a sliver of inspiration and influence to you, too. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
