I honestly don't remember how and why Geraldo Alken came across my radar.  Maybe it was the YouTube or Instagram algorithms just doing their thing.  Or maybe I was doing my usual exploration of inspiring, motivational content as produced by individuals showing us what living your personal truth looks like in even more unique ways.  Or maybe it was because Geraldo's energy, smile, positivity and se...

My conversation with Aaron Machbitz was something out of a storybook. I had started listening to his podcast and after the first 2 or 3 episodes, I was hooked. Simply because I felt through his words, passion, empathy and heart that this incredible gentleman had really tapped into what we so often seek to find - which is our individual sense of personal truth and purpose. Aaron is a dedicated soul...

  In an age where everyone is seemingly trying to stand out given the onslaught of trends, memes and clickbait that most of us are more than used to, how exactly does one manage to make themselves known in the sea of noise and distraction? Marketing and self-promotion are not a bad thing. What we need to remember is that there are tactics and strategies that one can adopt which can effectively ser...

Asd transparent as I've been, I always shied away from bring up Religion on this show. Reason being it is such a hot button issue, I'd basically decided it was going to be one the few topics I would avoid bringing up. But something happened this year - been dealing with a lot of particular issues, from my personal health, to family emergencies, to professional shifts and everything in between. Ove...

Oftentimes, we think things 'JUST' happen. I don't subscribe to that. Particular circumstances not withstanding, you DO have the ability to forge the outcome you seek. There's a process to everything. Don't train? You will struggle. Train well? You will reap the benefits. Leave things up to chance. Watch The Universe do its thing. Stay focused. Stay disciplined. And when things occasionally go sid...

I thought it'd be a good opportunity to go back to...

How a trip to the ER with my son suffering a severe allergic reaction made me realize how what we say matters to us actually doesn't - as  what we do often does not align with what we say when it comes to our goals. Not for the weak. #StayAwesome #ATATribe ----------- Connect with us // Facebook :  https://www.facebook.com/awakentheawesome Instagram :  https://www.instagram.com/atapodcast Telegram...

    I came across Julian Bell's body of work through a Reel that was recommended on my Instagram feed.   Couldn't quite place it at the time, but as I'm recording this, I realize that what drew me, even on such a small screen, was this sense of genuine playfulness that he had about him.   I know that Reels are meant to catch our eye and give us that small second of dopamine and giggles, but Julian...
