The Imperfect Pod

Why are men teased and made fun of for being sensitive and emotional? How does divorce affect young men? How can selfishness lead to happiness for everyone? These are some of the topics that Scott and I talk about on our episode.

A bit about the guest: Scott Berty is the Chief Growth Officer of Trufan, https://www.trufan.io/ (www.trufan.io), helping brands activate grassroots communities of super fans and micro-influencers with data. We met about 3 years ago through LinkedIn and have stayed close ever since. I was so excited to have him on my podcast as he was one of the first people and encouragers behind this mission. It was great to sit down and discuss some really personal things with him. Excited for you to hear!

On this episode, Pablo and I go deeper into our conversation creating things we're passionate about, mental health, and the importance of fathers and mentorship in a young man's life. Pablo also talks about growing up in the Rexdale neighbourhood and how that affected him and his friends and how he’s constantly trying to dig deeper into himself with meditation, reading and creativity. Pablo's honesty, sincerity, and soft-spokeness is endearing. He clearly is self-reflective in all aspects of his life which allows him to give a lot of authentic and clear opinions about how he sees his life and how accountability has been one of his biggest assets.

This is by far the most personal episode yet. Olaf goes into depth about his relationship with his parents, his love for bodybuilding, and how he has been affected by periods of homelessness in his life. Olaf shares the raw emotions he has felt throughout his life and how much power and determination it's taken to get where he is now. At the end of this episode, you will hear his beautiful poem, "He's Hiding", which he wrote after we recorded our podcast as a reflection on his relationship with his parents. It's a beautiful moment. I hope you get as much from it as I did.

Is karma and spiritually real? What does religion mean to us? Is therapy a legitimate option in today's age? Making the shift from University to "real life" can be challenging, especially if you're outgoing, social fellows like me and Andre. We talk about our struggles to adapt and what life has been like for us since. We also discuss social media, mental health, therapy, and what living ethically means. Listen as we share some serious thoughts on how life can feel empty without a focused goal and how we have to continue to chase our dreams.

Traveling alone and joining the reserves can have a profound effect on your life. Godwin has led a really interesting life in this regard. I really wanted to dive deep into his perspective on industries that seem to get a lot of hate in terms of the types of masculinity they build/promote. However, I don't think those accusations are always fair, and getting an outlook from someone who has been in these moments, and who the world sees as traditionally "unmasculine". Also, just due to my schedule, I've gone back to doing one long-form episode.

On part 2 of this episode, Marco and I discuss our first perceptions of each other, the importance of happiness, and how hard it is to find relationships nowadays. I apologize for the audio throughout the episode too. There were a few workflow issues I ran into during the recording process and I hope to have that sorted out for the next episode.

On part 1 of this episode of (im)perfect, Marco and I discuss cancel culture, our time in Communication Studies, and the masculinity and feminity of certain passions and how we can move away from discussing those interests in that way!

On part 2 of this episode of (im)perfect, Nick and I go deeper into our conversation about how to become your own person, how women have been hurt in the dating process, and how in a relationship, you share a responsibility to each other to make each other better. There's a lot of truth on this episode of how to value one's self within and without a relationship that I think will be useful to everyone. Also, listening to your feedback, I decided to turn this episode into a two-parter. As most of my interviews have gone over an hour, splitting them into two 30-45 minute segments makes sense.

On part 1 of this episode of (im)perfect, Nick shares his journey to being comfortable with his masculinity, how much he loves human beings and connection, the importance of vulnerability and trust and more! I had so much fun editing this podcast and re-living the recording of this podcast. As I edit, I like to make little clips of moments that would offer value to people in smaller segments and I came away with 26(!!!!) small clips... That's how much value I felt came in this episode.
