Mike Arnold is a Toronto-based entrepreneur and friend of the show who left his prior job at an insurance company to start a private-tutoring business with his sister. Now five years into that adventure, Mike stops by to talk self employment, ambition, naivete, ups & downs, podcasting, marathoning and a whole lot more. Enjoy!

Whew...this is a scary one (at least for Yacine). Big Bro makes a conscious, uncomfortable effort to open up about the scary moments on the path to a meaningful livelihood. We cover wavering confidence, pressure, parenthood and other things that are hard to talk about... Turns out that forging your own path is not always all lollipops and gumdrops.

We'll be back with a happier conversation next time. Until then, invite a friend and/or drop us a line to say hi: [email protected].

The brothers compare lessons learned from the stories of AJ Leon and Jason Markk, chat about the nature of entrepreneurship and the extent to which it's the 'be-all-end-all', some of the practicalities of prioritizing fulfillment over lifestyle and, of course, four-syllable words.

Drop us a line at [email protected], catch us on social media @whatupworldpod, and be sure to invite a friend. Thanks for listening!

In this bonus episode (!!!), social-media strategist, former Goldman Sachs investment banker and all-around entrepreneurial badass Nupur Singh joins us to talk about forging her own path, departure from the corporate world, making a difference and a whole lot more!

You can find Nupur at www.nupursingh.com or @thecrispycorner on Instagram. We enjoyed this conversation with her and we hope you do too!

This week, Big Bro struggles to keep it together while demanding answers about the birthday party that Younger Bro recently hosted...for a dog. Eventually regaining its composure, the conversation moves on to the topic of "working for the weekend", blurring the distinction between work and play, patience in the never-ending pursuit of fulfilling life/livelihood and the magic of avoiding "zero days". We hope you enjoy! Hit us up with questions, or just to say hi, at [email protected].

LA-based recording artist Stevie Dub joins to talk about his journey, building a career in music, mentoring youth, staying motivated, finding fulfillment and a whole lot more. Stevie is a highly energetic, humble dude, and a shining example of someone intentionally pursuing meaning in life and livelihood. Enjoy, and check him out online (@steviedub on IG & SoundCloud, @steviedubmusic on YouTube, and more).

On this episode, 'What Up, World!' welcomes its first guest! In a chat enabled by modern technology/serendipity (thank you, Gary Vee) and spanning 4.5 time zones, the brothers get to know Coady Bennett - passion-driven entrepreneur from Corner Brook, Newfoundland. Coady owns a clothing company (@RTHLshop on Instagram) that uses proceeds to fund random acts of kindness.

Energy is high on this one, as three dudes become fast friends through shared views and experiences. We hope you'll look up RTHL online (rthlshop.com) and join that community.

Bonus episode! With a flurry of guests on deck for upcoming installments, the brothers catch up for an extra, non-Wednesday release to update on their respective stories. Guest appearances will presumably include less of this story line, so the occasional bonus episode may come in handy for continuity purposes.

Topics covered in this freewheeling chat include a running gag that leaves a lot to be desired, El Nino, box jumps, grown-man dates, and a much more on-topic discussion of the role of intention and character in optimizing many areas of human wellness. Finally, Jamal updates on another personal project of his.

Quick turnaround to next episode: 009 is ready to go for #WhatUpWednesday!

What is the role of money in the pursuit of meaning in our lives and livelihoods? Critical, as it turns out. After Jamal updates on his job search and Yacine reflects on some of the mental battles that come with the territory of entrepreneurship, the brothers tackle the matter of personal finance and the importance of intention in the pursuit of fulfillment.

Birthday-boy Jamal updates us on his job search and wrestles with the need for employment vs the desire for fulfillment. Yacine finds encouragement in rising frequency of 'small wins' in his business and explains the significance of his tattoo (as alluded to in episode 2).

The tattoo - reading "This is water." - is based on a commencement speech by the late author David Foster Wallace. If you dig the concept, you're encouraged to google the phrase and find the original speaker's words.
