The Best Podcast

During a challenging time like this, taking care of ourselves is of critical importance. This self-care comes in many forms, and the psychological one is certainly a big piece. So in today’s podcast, I discuss what true self-care is (and what it isn’t), along with some key areas of focus. I hope this is valuable and practical information for you to put into action during this time. Thanks so much for tuning in. It means so much to me. As always, Much Love ❤️.

“With nothing as its useful purpose, how could it experience hardship?” This quote brought me a whirlwind of reflection when I read it a few weeks ago. I found it to be quite relevant to the current moment and thus wanted to dive into it. I hope that you find this to be an interesting monologue that makes you reflect deeply as well. Instead of describing my thoughts here, I will leave that to the episode. This is definitely a bit of a stream of consciousness episode, but I know that there’s a lot of value here. I hope that you’re staying well during this time. As always, Much Love ❤️.

Today’s podcast was really enjoyable for me to record, as I got to talk about things that I love - food and good cooking. Cooking has become such a fundamental part of my life over the past few years, and it has brought me so much joy. In this episode, I talk through the reasons why, along with why I think that what it takes to cook well serves as a great analogy for what it takes to live well. I hope you like this connection and can find some value in it yourself. As always, Much Love ❤️.

The topic of today’s episode arises out of the current situation in which the world finds itself. With great uncertainty and challenge, we need affirmations for us to fall back on as we push forward through the difficulties. In this episode, I talk through why I believe this and some affirmations that I fall back on myself. I hope you find value in this during these trying times. As always, Much Love ❤️.

Today’s episode is a reading of a quote by Carl Sagan, which he wrote in his book “Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space”. I personally find this quote to be brilliant, as it invokes a much deeper perspective than we often experience in our everyday lives. I hope you resonate with the quote and that it invokes some deep reflection for you. As always, I deeply appreciate you listening to this podcast. If you liked it, please give it a rating and submit a review on whatever platform you use to listen (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc). It would mean so much to me. Much Love ❤️.

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 ❤️.
