July 12, 2020 Episode 324: It’s Not Black or White
Today’s episode is short and sweet, yet something I believe to be so important, especially in our current moment. Simply put, we cannot be pulled into thinking in binary ways, as the consequences are great - it pulls us further away from truth and progress. Tune in to hear more. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

July 09, 2020 Episode 323: Trying Your Best
“Trying your best” was a concept that was thrown around quite frequently throughout my youth. It was frequently used as a justification and as a direct line to the result that was being sought. However, over time, I realized this was a misconception. Today’s podcast focuses on that misconception, and the nuances that come with it. I hope you enjoy it. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

July 06, 2020 Episode 322: Selfishness
Today’s podcast is a return to the previous format after my brief series on my thoughts / reflections on the current state of the US and the world. This episode comes out of some recent conversations I’ve had about selfishness and my desire to articulate those thoughts a bit. As always, I deeply appreciate your attention and your time. I hope you enjoyed the episode and the experience of The Best Podcast in general. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

July 03, 2020 Episode 321: Tying it All Together
Today’s podcast concludes my mini-series on my reactions to the current moment. I bring it back around to the central piece of it all - the self. Ego, pride, emotion, hate, abhorrence, disgust, and anger are common emotions during a trying time, yet they do not provide us with something of greater value, both personally and within society. I break this idea down in today’s episode, which I hope you enjoy as the conclusion of this series. I’ll be back soon with something new. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

June 30, 2020 Episode 320: Freedom of Expression
Today’s podcast is a continuation of a mini-series that follows on the last two episodes, in which I’ve been extensively discussing the current state of the world and our social dynamics. The focus of this episode is on the critical importance of freedom of expression and thought. To break this down, I refer to John Stuart Mill’s book titled “On Liberty”, which has been a revelation for me on the topic. I hope you enjoy the points I bring to the table here and I hope you see as much value in them as I do right now. If you liked the podcast, give it a rating and reference on whatever podcast platform you use. And if you liked the ideas discussed here, go buy the book and read it. It’s worth it. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

June 27, 2020 Episode 319: What the Hell Are We Doing?
Today’s podcast is a follow up on the previous one, which was titled “Sticking Your Neck Out”. In order to stick our necks out justly, we must know how to genuinely think and properly assess our world. The purpose of this episode is to answer what it means to genuinely think and how we can properly assess the world around us. As I hope you can hear, this is a topic which deeply affects and enthuses me, and its relevance now is paramount. If you liked this episode, PLEASE share it and give it a rating / review on whatever podcast platform you use. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

June 24, 2020 Episode 318: Sticking Your Neck Out
Today’s podcast is one of the most intense of recent memory. It’s a topic which strikes me deep in my core. I will not say more here, as I will leave you to listen to the podcast to find out. Thanks so much for tuning in. It truly means the world to me. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

June 21, 2020 Episode 317: The Knowledge Problem
Today’s podcast is the result of some reflections I’ve been having about the state of my country and the state of the world as a whole. Particularly, my mind wandered to the state of information and knowledge within such massively complex systems, as I continually realize the critical importance of this. I hope you enjoy these thoughts and find them to be valuable to you in some way. Here are the three questions I mentioned in the podcast: (1) What areas merit acceptable ignorance/lack of knowledge? (2) How can we collectively organize properly to make sure there are no glaring gaps in such an intricate system? (3) How can people be inspired to pursue more (and better quality) knowledge while knowing that it may never be “enough”? As always, thank you so much for listening. It means the world to me. Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

June 18, 2020 Episode 316: Taste Versus Nutrition
Today's podcast is a few thoughts on diet and nutrition. I discuss my experiences with diet, what I've learned from those experiences, what I've learned from my own research and conversations with others, the value I have uncovered in seeing nutrition in a new way, and the benefits of making the changes I've made. If you have any questions about my thoughts here or want to have a conversation about diet, send me an email at [email protected]. I'd love to engage with you. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

June 15, 2020 Episode 315: A Slew of Thoughts
Today's podcast is a group of segments from a conversation I had about a month ago about various topics. These topics include innovation, university systems, parenting, today's kids, watching versus doing, knowing who you are, happiness versus contentment, and the scoreboard. I hope you enjoy these thoughts and find value in them. The final thought about "the scoreboard" I find to be particularly strong and important. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
