The Rubens Abreu Podcast

Always a great pleasure to sit down with my brother Pedro to talk about things we are struggling with and what we have learned. Podcasting has allowed me to create amazing meaningful conversations with dear friends and be able to learn how to be ok with being vulnerable and talking about personal things. As usual we go super deep, enjoy it.

This is a quick episode where I reflect on my own internal battles which at this stage in life is perceiving myself in comparison to other people. In the past 2 months I have been lacking motivation, feeling overwhelmed, feeling depressed with a sense of being lost so I decided to start therapy, which has helped a lot, in order to try to understand those emotions and perhaps clarify my needs and things I want in life at this moment. Slowly I am realising that some of the things I was doing were purely based on how people would perceive me rather than doing it for the fact that I actually enjoy it and have a interest for it. I guess we all get trapped in worrying too much about what other people think of us and what others are doing with their lives, embracing ourselves for what we truly are is probably the best answer to find meaning in life while we get rid of all the distraction of comparing ourselves to other people.

Conversations with my mate Gary Compton about how he has been able for the past 5 years to work with photography full time as his passion. We talk about goal settings, social media pros and cons, how to use linkedin to be able to connect with like-minded people and more.

Conversations with my brother from another mother Pedro Guimaraes host of The Dreamers Academy Podcast we got this episode done at Starbucks and we talked about things we are struggling with and how we are dealing with them, and things that we are learning. We go deep in this episode and I got a lot of reflection out of it, thanks my brother for being vulnerable and speaking from the heart as always.

Over 2 years now I have met the most incredible woman in my life. She is kind, she is funny, she is sweet, she is driven, she is silly, and I can add more thousand qualities here. This is a conversation I have with my gf Cathrine the woman who taught me what loving someone truly means. Thanks for being vulnerable with me babe and for sticking to my madness. I love you beyond words and only actions can represent how much you are special to me. I guess our relationship has been so amazing is because as Mel Robbins says “there is only 2 things people seek in a relationship, it is either power or connection”. I think that is why our relationship has worked so well, we both seek connection more than anything, dropping the ego and being as humble and as understanding as possible with constantly communication above all of that. Jeg elsker deg my love wishing many beautiful years ahead with you.

Dani Vianna is an acroyoga and yoga certified teacher, has started her marketing agency The Avocado Agency and working as Community Manager at Insight Timer. We met each other over 10 years ago back in my home town and as life goes on we lost contact, but back just over 2 years Dani contacted me and here she is in Sydney now where she calls home. We had a really beautiful conversation about her struggles with depression and how she sees now as a positive challenge as it guided her to where she is today with all the things she has accomplished, I applaud and thank you you for being so vulnerable girl and for sharing such a strong story.

Great conversation with Izaak Love who is an actor, director and producer, and this episode is focused around those topics but also as usual we go over life learnings, personal growth and mindset.

I had a chat with my good mate Josh Kim to talk about his passion for dancing, music and hip hop. He was on Channel 7 being part of the Dance Boss Australia 2019 reality show Season 1 with his team The Marketing Guys so make sure you check him out, such an awesome project to be part of. We go over his whole experience as a dancer, how he got into it and where he sees himself in the future.

On this episode I had the amazing opportunity to have a very down to earth conversation with my mate Pedro Guimaraes. What I love about this episode is that we cover so much in 1hr and 30 min and it felt more like having a chat with a mate rather than a interview vibe, which is what I am trying to achieve with this podcast from now on, to be able to give more feedback and be more engaged in the conversation rather than asking questions out of a script. Pedro is a true learner and hungry for answers, we finished this episode at 11:30pm and we were both feeling so pumped about it. We talked about life challenges of living overseas, why ego can be a bad thing but also a good thing, we cover health topics, mindset and so much more.

Pedro has also his own podcast so make sure you check him out! Hope you guys love this one as much as I did, stay happy and share the love.
