  • Messi is the Goat But...
    "Messi is THE goat of football. But Ronaldo is MY goat... and the goat of everything else." 
    Messi has won the Qatar World Cup which means the football goat conversation is OVER! I am a massive fan of Cristiano Ronaldo but Messi serves all the accolades after defeating France. In this episode, I recap the moment Messi became the one true goat, and break down why, despite my concession, Ronaldo has my heart way beyond football.

  • Seduction and See Finish

    "if you want to deepen the connection you have with someone – if you want to give yourselves a chance to build something meaningful, something that goes the distance, learn the balance between absence and presence in seduction." - Rodney. One of the surest ways to ruin a potential relationship of any kind is to be too eager, too available... too desperate. You may think your "energy" is flattering but too much too soon can be smothering. This episode is to think about how you may better regulate your emotions and your time as you connect with your love interest —a super short bonus episode.

  • Bread over Bed: Don't Sleep on Yourself

    "While we're fans of sleep, we are fans of something far more powerful, as well... While others enjoy their dreams, we wake and watch them come true." It's no secret that sleep is essential to the optimal performance of the brain and body but is it possible that we use our love of sleep as an excuse to deny the sacrifices that achievement demands. Is it possible that we glorify sleep a little too much? What if, when it comes to sleep, less could be more. An episode about sleep, sacrifice, work and happiness.

  • The Ultimate Acceptance Speech
    "I underestimated how good this would feel. I didn't know how badly I wanted to win until I won! It's weird. Now I know how Leonardo DiCaprio feels." The podcast is now multiple award-winning so I decided to give an impromptu acceptance speech to mark the moment. In this bonus episode, I reflect on the significance of the achievement and express my truest feelings. My speech has everything -- a little bit of pettiness, a lot of gratitude and a few nuggets of wisdom. Dare I say, I gave the ultimate acceptance speech.

  • Queen Elizabeth II: The Last of a Dying Breed
    “In my eyes... In my mind... The queen was an icon -- an example of how to stay relevant across generations... Queen Elizabeth II was truly one of one." Her Majesty the late Queen Elizabeth II was a complex, enigmatic and misunderstood character. Her death provoked the full spectrum of emotion. This episode gives a balanced analysis of the queen's personality, achievements, and the sometimes unwarranted criticism for her role in the British empire's colonial escapades.

  • Love, Death + Sofia
    "Sometimes, it isn’t just that the person died. It’s that the part of you that only they could bring out will never be brought out again…" A tribute to my friend -- and [post-humous] number one fan -- Sofia Gambino, who passed away a year ago to the release of this episode. I reflected on her life, my grief, and our special relationship. This reflection took me down a rabbit hole where I entertained some unusual ideas about my own mortality, Jesus Christ's human experience on earth, and my envy of dead people!
    In loving memory of Sofia Gambino.
