The Best Podcast

Moving on from Portsmouth, I took a train up to Loughborough, England. When I was there, I stayed with a Master’s student from Nigeria named Kamal. Even though I only stayed with him for a few days, I learned so much from him and was deeply inspired by him. His story is inspirational and encouraging, and it really gave me a new perspective that led to some powerful reflections, which you will hear...

Moving on from London, I arrived to Portsmouth for a short stay. I stayed with a friend named Harry who is a student at the university there who is about my age. I really enjoyed my time with him, but the biggest takeaway that I had about my time there was his desire to face conflict and adversity and to learn from it. This reflective practice was impressive to me and it is something that is often...

Today I begin my series of podcasts in which I reflect on my 2 and a half month trip to Europe. My first destination was London, England, which I discuss today in this first episode. This reflection focuses on the diversity of the city that I encountered and the reactions to which it led me about all of us as humans. I touch on various topics, but I believe that there is a very strong theme about...

The hiatus/sabbatical is over! This topic is something that has been coming up over and over again throughout my time in Europe and here in the US after arriving home. This balance has been critical for me and it has been something that I have been developing over the last 5 years without ever recognizing it. However, it has been the one thing that has continuously come up over and over again in c...

Today, I talk about beef. Get rid of all of your beef! When we hold negative energy toward others within ourselves, it doesn’t help us in any way. Forgive, move on, and better things will happen. It’s a process which requires a lot of focus and energy, but it is so liberating and overwhelmingly positive. It’s science! Much love for you all ❤️

In an age where it seems like there is an endless number of life coaches and motivational speakers on social media, how can we know if these people are actually qualified? Today, I give my HOT TAKE on this and what I believe this group often lacks. PLEASE comment your thoughts! I’d love to have a conversation about this.

Esto no es normal para mí. Nunca estoy despierto a esta hora. Pero, estas experiencias que son fuera de lo normal pueden ser muy buenos para nosotros. Una interrupción en la vida puede darte una perspectiva diferente de qué no podías darte cuenta sin esa interrupción. En eso está basado este podcast, y espero que os guste. A las 2:40, estoy en otro mundo y otro elemento. Un abrazo a todos!!

First of all, thank you for tuning in and sticking with me throughout this journey. I love and appreciate each and every one of you, no matter your faults, my faults, or the interactions that we’ve ever had. Second, this podcast is a reflection on feeling alive and what it should actually mean to us. I hope that you all tune in. I hop around a little bit between themes, but the central message is...

I got stopped in the street the other day while walking back to my place from the train station. These two people asked me if I was scared of the future, to which I replied “No.” This shocked them, and we proceeded to have an interesting conversation. This podcast episode is a reflection on that conversation, which led me to a huge realization about the power of humanity. Check it out. Thanks for...

Today I came across a photo of myself speaking at my high school graduation three years ago. This led me to a really intense reflection about the last three years, the 17 years that came before, and the years to come in the future. This is a look into my inner thoughts and reflections. These moments mean so much to me, so I hope that you enjoy listening. Much love. Talk soon 🎈

As I eat waffles here in Ghent, Belgium, I wanted to elaborate on the deep importance of mindset and of our own perceptions of ourselves and of the world. Mindset matters and it is of the utmost importance for all of us to understand the power behind this. Tune in to hear more about just how powerful and significant your mindset is in life. This is a topic that I’m extremely passionate about and I...

Hoy pontifico en una cosa que he pensado mucho en estos días: las diferencias entre nosotros. No voy a poner más en esta descripción para que escuchéis. Gracias por escuchar y por vuestra atención. Hasta pronto.

This first week of my trip has really made me think a lot about the importance of reflection in our lives. It is such an important thing to allow us to unlock the meaning and lessons to take away from our experiences. Tune in to hear me explore the concept and how pivotal it has been for me. Thanks again for tuning in. Much love for ALL of you!

After 10 long days of travel prep, graduation celebrations, and family time, I return with a discussion of my reflections on adversity. Although it may be difficult for us to experience in the moment, it makes us so much better in the long run. I hope you all enjoy this talk. It’s brief, but I think that I got the message across. Much love.

It’s Mother’s Day! Today I talk about how grateful we should be for the mother figures (and any other guardian/mentor-like figure) that we have in our lives. We often forget to return to the basics of everything that our moms and mother-figures have done for us. This should be something we return to and are grateful for everyday. These bases make us who we are and it is something that we should al...

Episode 100. What a ride it has been. Today: the negative judgement of others. Does it serve a purpose? How does it affect us in the long-term? I really liked how I talked through this topic today. It felt like it really made sense as I followed the discussion, and I hope that it clicks with you too. Thank you all SO MUCH for listening to The Best Podcast. Your ears and attention mean the world to...

This idea has been sitting in my head for a while, and now I’m really trying to understand it and unlock its value. Developing a love of losing and what it teaches us is vital, as it teaches us so much more than victories. Learning from losses and engaging in the process of development through failure and learning lessons from those failures is critical. Loving the losses (and the process) propels...

This is the message that we all need to hear and consistently be conscious of. If you have access to the internet, easy access to food and water, and have available all of your basic needs, you have a base. We all need to be grateful that we have these covered and that they are not constant worries in our lives. All of this is summed up in this sentence: You’re not in last place. Be grateful for t...

This episode combines a lot of themes - patience, the process/the journey, effort, long-term thinking, goals, achievement, and value. I think that this is one of the most natural discussions that I’ve been able to give on this podcast, so I really hope that you all tune in to listen. I truly believe that there is some value in this talk for anyone. Thanks so much for tuning in. Much love!

It’s Tuesday. We all have an opportunity to actually live and do. This rant is focused on why we should be so grateful and happy that we have the opportunities that we do, no matter what they are. We need to stop living for Fridays and the weekend. This is a perspective talk, and I really hope that it can resonate with at least one of you. I appreciate you for listening and engaging with me. I lov...

Hoy, os presento una grabación de una conversación con Maria, una chica venezolana que está estudiando un máster en Colombia. Hablamos de muchos temas entre la política y el trabajo de Colombia, Venezuela, y los Estados Unidos. Espero que os guste! Hasta pronto!

We are all enchanted by this idea that we have to hate Monday. But do we have to hate Monday? Should we? Why do we even hate Monday in the first place? Today, I break down why this gets us nowhere and the many ways in which we can reshape the start of our week. I hope that you all enjoy and that you can all find some more value next Monday! Much love for all of you 😊 happy Monday.

This is a question that I have thought about for SUCH a long time. Which do you pick? One in the hand or two in the bush? Why? Does our answer to the question matter? I hope to hear your opinions! Much love.

“I don’t have time.” -Everyone. Do we really not have time? Or is it just an excuse that we make up for others and for ourselves? Today, I dive into this and expose what “I don’t have time” really means and what using that excuse entails for us. Enjoy! 😊

Hoy, mi primer podcast en español! Espero que les guste 😁 hablo de mi viaje a México y todo que experimenté allí. Fue un viaje que me impactó mucho y estoy totalmente agradecido. Gracias por escuchar!
