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 sense of generosity of self just broke digital borders and reached me somehow. Or maybe it was trying to ...

Allegra Moet Brantly is an entrepreneur, speaker, podcaster and founder with the kind of zeroed-in focus that never fails to inspire us always aim higher when it comes to setting goals. She remains an example of incredible drive to achieve as well as an unshakeable confidence to execute on her vision. But don't be fooled - she didn't start out that way. By her own admission, Allegra's time in her early 20s was spent more on climbing the corporate ladder and curating her LinkedIn profile than man...

Sometimes you just need a good dose of solid ass-kicking to get you going. In case you haven't heard me say it enough or maybe you might be new here, here's a reminder : this thing called life is not for the lazy, the weak or fans of excuses. Simply put, if you want to really succeed, you are going to have to get used to the fact that whatever you want is going to require you to put in an incredible amount of hard work, consistency, focus and intent.

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 with a passion for helping and bringing smiles to people. A former Division 1 Baseball Player and P...

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.

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 sideways - learn and adjust accordingly. #StayAwesome #ATATribe ----------- Connect with us // Facebook...

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's content has that differentiating factor that sets it apart from all the junk. His is a particular mix of ...

I find today's episode is incredibly appropriate as for some reason, the very subject matter we're going to touch on happens to be so relevant. See, I was bullied a lot when I was a kid. Something I'm sure many of you can relate to. I'm from a different time where I was taught to strike a balance between sucking it up to recognizing bullying from just playful schoolyard teasing to standing up for myself even if it meant a bruised lip when other person went over the line. I however cannot speak t...

I think this episode is a very special one. Recorded a while back, I had taken a lot of time before publishing it. Simply because, while listening to it during the editing stage, I realized that I was in a kind a weird mental state. I've often told you guys that this show being a work in progress, one thing I would never do is pretend that I have it all figured out. Sometimes, I go into these conversations and what I have in mind and what eventually comes out of it are totally different. And tha...

When I was in my teens, I got the opportunity to be part of a theatre class. The Director at the time was short one male role so I had the chance to be exposed to the art of the stage for the first time. It was a defining moment for me as I realized I genuinely had a talent for it. But then Life happened. Coming from a traditional background where academics are THE priority above all else including creative endeavours, added to the fact that I my grades were in the dumps, my parents drew a line ...
