The Genuine Convos podcast

Funny, charismatic and a jack of all trades describes Ethan quite well. He is a university buddy of mine that introduced me to fishing and all things outdoor. He is the reason behind a huge change in my life, for the better. In this episode, we share our anger towards the physiotherapy masters program admission system, used cars and outdoor therapy. Tune in to catch a glimpse of his redneck knowledge!

Back at it again, after a year!! Eric Schultz appears on the podcast for the first time ever. He's a blast from the past, being a high school friend and training partner at the gym. I got loads of memories with him. Listen to us spill the tea about the past and contemplate on the future. Enjoy riding this nostalgia train for 2 and a half hours with a drink on the side!!

Many of y'all have pointed out that it has been a minute since I uploaded the last episode. True that, lol. But this almost always means more quality episodes are on their way as I continue to self improve and meet new and wonderful people along the way. One such person is Adam who I met at my Jiu Jitsu gym not so long ago. Apart from submitting people on the mat, he's a passionate lover of philosophy and learning. One of the fastest learners I know, he lives life through observation of the truth and by applying it in every way possible. He's very knowledgeable about a wide array of issues and adds on to the list of bright minds that I've had on the show. The episode gets real juicy by the 2nd hour, so skip onto there if you wanna get straight onto the main course. But other than that, enjoy!

Nikhil & Hiram are high school friends of mine that I lost touch with after high school. However, we rekindled that friendship back up recently and I am so happy that we did. Hiram and Nikhil combined together in a conversation equals unexpected hilarious moments and some really fun and unique topics. Hiram is into gardening and has been in the food industry for a long time. He dives into the gardening nitty gritties and the pros and cons of the food business in this episode. Apart from the incredible knowledge this man possesses about his passions, he is a also a funny and quick witted dude. His unexpected jokes and reactions gives this episode its unique vibe. Nikhil is a sexy stud with an awesome personality in his own right. He is a UBC undergraduate who is also a gaming geek. He is a twitch streamer and takes us into the world of gaming and sponsorships. Hope y'all enjoy the episode!

This is part 2 of Mr. Jose. Enjoy!!

This recent guest of mine is extremely hard working Just after graduating high school, Jose picked up three jobs to make ends meet. Apart from that, he also works out regularly and tries to keep his social life alive. With so many things on his plate, one would assume that he is very stressed. However, having a conversation with this man would erase those assumptions easily. He is as calm, cool and collected as men get. This was a chill episode where we address bodybuilding, martial arts and careers. It had to end prematurely however. I still had questions in my mind that I needed to ask, therefore, I had him on once again a few weeks later. In part 2, we talk about his dad's insane life stories, hiking/camping and much more topics. Enjoy these two short but sweet episodes with Mr. Restrepo!!

How do I even begin describing this one? Well, for starters it has a lot of ADHD type energy in it from both of us insane individuals. A lot of profanity, passion, anger, debates and of course laughter. Fadi is a soon to become pilot who spends his days working hard and chasing dreams. A man of robust energy and passion, this man is sure to get your heart racing..... in a good way. I call this episode the antidote to drowsiness. Check it out to see what I mean!!

What a way to restart the podcast journey! This is the funniest episode in a while and one of the funniest ever. If you wanna hear about workplace gossip, freak athleticism, basketball dreams or me overly complimenting a guest to the point where it becomes a little gay, you've come to the right episode. Emmanuel has become a great friend whom I met at work (just like many of my other friends). He is a freak athlete with a great smile and a wonderful sense of humor.... just to mention a few of his attributes. If you are depressed, this episode is sure to cheer you up, and if it doesn't, then well......start meditating. Enjoy this gem in the Genuine Convos arsenal!!

Here is another one...... a year later. I'm a bit rusty and have lost touch with the podcasting skills. Nevertheless, I'm back! So glad to have Abhay Parmar on the podcast this time. He is a friend that I met at a drama class and resonated with instantly. A perfectly imperfect conversation, I hope you enjoy it!

Did you know that lemurs travelled across the world via the ocean way before humans existed? What about the speculations that humans were travelling all across the world way before Columbus? These and many more insanely fascinating topics get discussed with my most recent guest Angelina. She is an anthropology undergraduate who like me, is absolutely mesmerized by human history and our forgotten story. This is one of the most informative episode to date, and I was on the edge of the couch every single minute attentively listening to her talk about anthropological stuff! It's truly moments like these that makes life worthwhile. Its good shit!! Give it a listen and you'll know what I'm talking about 😊
