Today’s podcast is a short manifesto on an error I’ve seen in our education system and our general societal system of raising people. The topic of human dynamism is something I believe that we do not highlight enough in the education of youth and in life in general. With that in mind, I wanted to break down the reasons why and the potential significant benefits it could have on individuals and society. I hope you find this to be a novel and stimulating monologue. Thanks so much for tuning in and for supporting this podcast. As always, Much Love ❤️.

Today’s podcast is a recording of a new articles on my blog titled “2020”, which you can find at mattbest.net/theplatform/2020. To sum it up, it is an articulation of the process I used to set my goals for 2020 and the actual goals I have set for myself. As I say in the podcast, I hope that this inspires you and that this holds me accountable to achieve the goals myself. As always, thanks so much for your support and for tuning in. It means so much to me! Much Love ❤️.

I’m back! After 2 weeks of disconnecting and turning my focus elsewhere, I’m excited to return to the podcast and to have a fresh headspace to embark on the episodes that are to come. This episode serves as a transition out of that disconnection, as I preview what is to come and what I am envisioning for future episodes. I hope you enjoy it and that you stick around for the episodes to come! It’s an exciting time. As always, Much Much Much Love ❤️.

This episode is a brief update on where things are for me at the moment. It’s a bit of a throwaway by my standards, but I do believe that it’s a fair one. There’s a lot I could have said here in reaction to what has been going on in my life recently, but those reactions will come in the future as I make better sense of them. I also throw out two key asks at the end, so please stick around for those. Thanks so much for listening and for being a part of this journey with me. As always, Much Love ❤️.

Today’s podcast is a reading of my newest article on my blog, which you can find at mattbest.net/theplatform . This article is undoubtedly the most significant one I’ve written to date. I hope you enjoy listening. As always, I hope you find some value in this. And specifically for this episode, I hope you take the final remarks into serious consideration. Much Love ❤️.

Today’s podcast is a recording of a poem I wrote when I was seventeen which I recently revisited. Through the poor audio quality, I hope that you find some value in the message inherent in the poem. It brought me joy and insight when I read it again. I wish this same effect for you. As always, Much Love ❤️. I’ll be back with a new and quite meaningful episode in a few days.

Today’s podcast is a brand new topic for me. Loneliness is something I never dealt with much when I was young, as I seemed to be always connected with others in one way or another. Whether it be my family, classmates, or sports, I seemed to always be with others. But recently, this has changed significantly. In today’s episode, I talk about this change, how I deal with loneliness, and the way I make sense of it. I hope you find value in this and can apply some of the things I’ve discussed in your own life. Thanks so much for tuning in and for supporting this podcast. It means so much to me. As always, Much Love ❤️.

Today’s podcast is centered on one of my favorite quotes. It is Theodore Roosevelt’s “The Man in the Arena.” This is admittedly a selfish episode. In recording it, the sole purpose was to reinforce the value of my day-to-day efforts and the path I have chosen to walk. Nevertheless, I think that this quote can be so useful for anyone who is putting in the efforts, experiencing the toils, and actively taking the risk to succeed or fail, day in and day out. I hope you can sense how meaningful this is for me. Thank you so much for listening. It means the world to me. As always, Much Love ❤️.

Today’s podcast is a brief, stream of consciousness narrative on siblings. If you have a sibling or see someone in your life as a sibling, you will undoubtedly resonate with this. I hope you enjoy it and that is inspired reflection and gratitude. As always, Much Love ❤️. PS - Happy birthday, Tim. I love you unconditionally.

Today’s podcast is a reflection on a short journal entry I wrote last week. I got to thinking quite a bit about parenting, passing lessons down, and the best ways to do so. In this episode, I expand on that brief reflection with some thoughts on the ever changing world in which we live, and our capabilities of adapting to it to guide others to living well. I hope you find this to be valuable. Thanks for tuning in. As always, Much Love ❤️.
