In today's episode, I speak on, what i believe, are the most important ingredients to a good life. I talk about the importance of mental and physical health, quality and lasting relationships, cultivating purpose, and even dip the toes into financial literacy. All these different but connected aspects of life, mix together to create The Recipe we all should be creating in our daily lives.

In today's episode, I sit down with the President and Vice President of local 2o9 soccer club Merced United, Jovan Pulido and Chris Bernal. We talk about all things Merced soccer...past, present and future. We also delve into how we see the future of the Central Valley as a whole, and what Merced could do to continue to foster and grow the potential within our local communities. 

In today's episode, I shed light on what continues to be swept under the rug in the States...from spending more money on our military and prison system, compared to our education infrastructure, to our government's continued support of the Israeli occupation in Palestine. These issues are all connected to the current plight of all of us in this country. We, as its citizens, must continue to use our voice and platforms to educate those around us to the true intentions of our American leadership. "If one of us fails, we all fail."   

In today's episode I elaborate a bit on the mindsets and tactics that have helped me feel better, not only mentally, but also physically and spiritually in life. I talk about having no expectations from anyone or anything, and not being only concerned with results of our life's work. This has allowed me to be open to and be more able to take advantage of every moment I find myself within. 

In today's episode, I speak on the "failures" I've had while travelling to Europe to pursue a dream of playing professional soccer and the priceless lessons learned en route. I also talk about the technique which helps me refocus my awareness, into truly all we have, the present moment.
