  • 7 Suggestions for an Inspired Quarantine

    The COVID-19 outbreak is forcing us to stop our lives and stay inside our homes. One option is to simply be bored all the time, and anxious, and stressed. The other option is to focus on the things that we can control, and control them. I leave you here 7 things I committed to doing during this quarantine. Hopefully, they will inspire you as well. Worst case scenario, I don't inspire you at all. Either way, however, I'm a bit less bored after doing this episode :) Enjoy, and sending lots of love your way.

  • Welcome - Intro

    Welcome! 

    Waking Life, by Richard Linklater, is a movie that tells the story of a young man who keeps realizing he’s in a dream, inside of endless other dreams, having philosophical conversations with distinct individuals about the meaning of life, consciousness, the nature of reality, etc.

     One of the central questions of the movie is: How can we really know we aren’t just stuck in a perpetual dream? How can we make sure we are waking?

    This said, Waking Youth is a bi-weekly podcast that aims to inspire you and me to make sure we aren't sleepwalking through our waking state. Assuming, of course, that the life we consider our waking life isn't merely a dream (but I will hopefully leave such discussion to a whole other episode).

    I invite several young students and professionals to deconstruct how they make sure they are questioning reality, building the life of their dreams, and living up to their fullest creative potential.
