The Best Podcast

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!

Volition - the ability/capacity to make a choice. This has been above my door at home since 10th grade. We ALL have the ability to choose and to make a choice, and we have this capacity in all circumstances. Tune in as I explore the implications of this, and why adopting volition as a mantra is so critical for all of us. I hope that you enjoy the talk 😊

Today, I break down the old form of leadership - authoritarian, cold, decisive, and unemotional - and discuss why this leadership needs to move out for a new wave of leadership. One that is empathetic, inspirational, and transformational. I discuss the implications of adopting this new wave of leadership as well. I hope that you all enjoy! Much love ❤️

What does it mean to be the underdog? We see it in sports, in the media, and in history, but what can we learn from the underdog? What capacities does the underdog have? How is it advantageous to be the underdog? Today, I explore these themes and discuss why we should all take on the underdog narrative. I hope you all enjoy! 😊

Today, I talk about an issue that is so important to me that I continue to battle within myself. 99% of us fall into the traps of hate, negativity, and pessimism that make us feel good in the very short term. But, how can we orient ourselves toward the things that make us win in the long term - positivity, optimism, love, and wanting to bring others up to bring the best out of them? I hope that yo...

In this episode, I break the long hiatus of over a week that I have had by reading an article that I wrote about my recent trip to Mexico. It was such an incredible experience for me and I really think that this article sums up my reactions upon returning to the US. I hope that you all enjoy. Viva México!

What can kids who wait for an extra marshmallow tell us about life? Today, I answer this question by diving into the meaning and importance of delayed gratification to conclude my podcasts for the month of February. I have really enjoyed the podcasts that I have put out this month, and I hope that you all have, too! Thanks again for tuning in. Much love.

All of us at some point or another have felt an emptiness inside of ourselves. Something, or someone, that we could no longer interact with vanishes and takes a chunk out of our wholeness. How can we become whole again? What are the ways we can refill that chunk? Today, I explore these different ways of returning to fulfillment and wholeness. I hope that you all enjoy. 😊

What does it mean to truly experience great well-being and to live a great life? What are the important things that influence our happiness and our “human flourishing”? Tune in as I explore the concept of Eudaimonia and how it is so relevant to all of us!
