Tings and Things episodes

  • Too much sauce!

    “If a man does not have sauce, then he is lost. But the same man can get lost in the sauce.” We explore all things sauce related in this episode of the podcast. There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance and to a certain extent, and each one of us has moments when we struggle and feel vulnerable too. It’s an interesting balance. Sauce is relative to all of us, and it is such a unique thing that all of us carry.  You can’t force people to care about the things you care about?

  • Level Up!

    Ensuring we hit new levels and maintain a constant growth is so important in life. We never want to be stagnant and growth is always the goal. There has been a shift in our go-getter friends. We all want to do great things and live great lives, but we’re also tired. No longer were we talking about projects and business models. Instead, we discuss running ourselves ragged without creating a worthwhile impact. The words I heard over and over again were freedom, family, and time. 

    Our souls are here for constant expansion. They demand that we expand into more love, acceptance, calm, confidence, receptivity, prosperity, joy and abundance. They also demand that we get over ourselves and share my gifts and talents with the world.

  • Distance..

    Many people believe that long-distance relationships are never going to work out. Your family may discourage it, and some of your best friends may advise you not to take it too seriously, in case you get your heartbroken. Nobody says it is going to be easy — the extra distance makes many things unachievable. Things could get complicated, and you could get sad and lonely at times.

    However, the extra distance also makes the simplest things the sweetest, being able to hold the other person’s hand, eating together at the same table, feeling each other’s touch, taking a walk together, smelling each other’s hair… these small wishes could suddenly mean so much more in a long-distance relationship. Long-distance relationships may be tough but they have their own surprises too.

  • Kofi Anan

    Millennials are a nice generation.  Super nice. They are positive and optimistic, they want to do the right thing and collaborate to get stuff done. But here’s the problem: They don’t like conflict. Conflict happens, whether we like it or not. People have different opinions, and the ability to hit tough issues head-on, in a healthy and productive manner will typically allow both parties to arrive at the best conclusion. But this requires courage to express your beliefs and willingness to listen to the other side, all while being clear that a resolution is necessary to the process.

  • No Free Beats

    As artists and creators, the things we create put food on our table. The work we crank out has a direct impact on how much money is in our bank account at the end of every month. The phrase time is money, could be more apparent than in our field. It has been common practice, especially this social media era when having greater access to some of the most amazing designers, artists, photographers and so on. In this episode, we delve deep into paying artists for their time and expertise.

  • Open your eyes

    Ahh open your eyes. There is so much beauty around us all, I think a part of it is stepping outside your comfort zone and experiencing new things. Beauty comes from the unexpected and we just need to be open to experiencing it.

  • C'mon fam

     Ahhh.. we all know of a situation where someone was supposed to be at a meeting with someone important. People don’t show up, they show up late, they show up unprepared, or sometimes they are just too hungover. All of these situations are so relatable to all of us. This is such an important conversation and just a real dose of reality for our listeners. Showing up on time and prepared is critical.

  • Baecation tings!

    It is a modern term derived from conjoining the two words 'bae' and 'vacation' A baecation is simply a vacation with your bae/boo. It depicts hanging out, or being with your partner at a location, usually somewhere far from home, for extended periods of time. We explore all of that in this tantalizing episode.
