Today’s podcast is a short reflection on the last week of my life. It brought quality time with such a dear friend, along with a lot of focus on a key transition I am going through with my wife. Life is moving, but it doesn’t have to roll over you! I share a bit about my learnings that connect to that message here, which I hope you enjoy and find valuable. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a reading of my latest Substack post, which you can see here: mbest.substack.com/p/quarter-two-review-2025 . It’s my 18th quarterly review to date, which is once again filled with useful lessons and points to ponder. I hope you find it valuable and perhaps feel inspired to start engaging in a similar process of reflection yourself. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Despite how hard it is to see with our eyes on a day to day basis, our friendships play an immense role in our health and longevity. We must take care of them with the same, if not greater, intensity as we do our personal health and hygiene. Our social health is fundamental to a great life. I hope that what I share here inspires you to reflect and pay more attention to this. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

How easy it is to overlook all the little decisions we make in a day. Our choices our powerful, and those choices appear to us as tiny forks in the road throughout our days, which end up becoming our lives. I share how my day was today and a number of forks in the road that I face that make a difference, which I hope get you thinking and reflecting on how you manage your forks in the road. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Despite wanting to talk about other things today, my mind didn’t allow that to happen. I reflect on that very thing in this episode, talking through how that happens and how consumed by what appears in our consciousness we become, as little of a choice as we may have in what appears there. We are truly so so fascinating. I hope this episode is insightful and valuable to you in some way. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Getting overwhelmed is such a common human experience. We feel the anxiety that overcomes us when the tasks of life add up and begin to shake us. But what do we do? How do we face this situation? I share my answer to these questions here, which I hope you find useful. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a meditation on how I’ve been over the last week with my family on vacation. It’s such a curveball from how life has been over the last few months, which has its upsides and downsides. Importantly, it has given me an opportunity to see myself in a way that I haven’t been used to given how relatively new this situation is for me. I share what I’ve noticed here, which I hope is thought provoking for you. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a deeper reflection on a recent conversation I had with a friend about some challenges she faces in her workplace. The title may seem like such a simple question, but once we really grapple with it, we see how impactful it can be. This drove me to elaborate more on it, sharing the details of what I mean by this question and how it applies in life, which I hope you find interesting and useful. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a reflection on what goes beyond the words I share here. So much of what I say is about action. Getting the sleep and doing so consistently. Eating well. Hydrating well. Showing up to get the workouts in. Reflecting daily in a journal. Meditating consistently. These are all viral behaviors for me, and they offer a glimpse into the key way of being that comes from what I share, a foundation for living well during good times and bad. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

I’ve now been back in my hometown for just shy of two weeks. I’ve enjoyed this period where I’ve temporarily shifted my priorities, which has taught me a lot about myself. I take some time to talk through that a bit here, sharing my observations of myself over this transition. Thanks so much for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
