The Mavericks

After a five-month break, the host returns to announce dropping out of paramedic school, turning 23, and launching a new business called Evoke focused on coaching businesses. They reflect on growth, burnout, and recommitting to consistency while restarting the podcast as a new chapter.

Quick life update: I’m back to podcasting after a break, trying a new  mic setup to simplify recording and editing. I’m testing new editing tools and hoping to post more directly from my phone.

I’ve started paramedic school, ran a memorable psych call, and have been juggling work, gym time, and trying to make friends. Short-term goals are to improve my workflow, keep learning, and be more social while balancing school and shifts.

Forgiveness is not for the person who wronged you but for your own healing, to free up the mental and emotional space that pain occupies. By letting go or finding understanding, you remove the control those past hurts have over your reactions and your future.

This episode shares a personal story about my relationship with my grandmother, how a shift in perspective turned anger into compassion, and how finding a positive meaning in painful experiences can help you move forward, grow, and reclaim joy.

This episode teaches a simple tactic to manage anger: pause and question why you feel upset. You can’t be curious and angry at the same time, so asking why helps de-escalate emotions and reveals personal triggers.

I share a story from a job conflict where being falsely accused sparked anger, and explains how reflecting on the cause, taking space, and shifting perspective led to growth and better emotional control.

This episode challenges the habit of living at 50%. going through the motions without true commitment and urges you to "burn the boats," choose a priority, and go all in. Using personal stories like EMT/paramedic school, it shows how full commitment creates momentum and meaningful progress.

It also explains the importance of real rest: when you push yourself fully and achieve daily wins, you can genuinely switch off and regenerate mentally. The message: stop half-trying, commit to what matters, and balance intensity with true rest to find fulfillment.

Change often requires us to shed parts of ourselves, old beliefs, comforts, and identities to make room for growth. This episode explores how discomfort rewires our brains, why we cling to predictability, and how intentionally facing hard moments leads to development.

Listen in as I share a personal story of sitting alone, confronting buried feelings, and admitting “I don’t feel safe,” which triggered a profound shift in perspective and emotional growth. Listen for practical reflections on embracing discomfort, killing off limiting parts of yourself, and stepping into new roles.

This episode explores forgiveness as a way to free yourself from pain and resentment, not to excuse others. It presents two practical approaches: opening a conversation to understand different perspectives, and forgiving yourself by examining the events that led to your choices.

Learn how to turn hurt into lessons, recognize patterns to avoid future pain, and take back control of your emotions so past experiences no longer hold power over you.

After recieving my paramedic schedule for the year I now realized how hard this year is going to be once everything kicks off.

Nevertheless I will still be working to provide value here and other platforms as much as possible. And more diverse content coming soon!

Since starting EMT my brain is fried lol

It's getting better but gotta keep staying focused! Eventually we will have it all planned and structured!

until then we just gonna wing it. Chicken wing

This is another partial rant from after a week as an EMT and some of the other events going on in life!

It's a short episode but it gives a decent update into the life of Mav
