Did you know KP is only 16?? If not, I'll remind you about 100 times in this interview because I couldn't believe it myself. If you're on Tik Tok, you may have seen KP Stone pop up on your fyp with his song Little Vintage. It started as a call for producers to make a beat and quickly turned into a viral hit that's very likely going to be your summer bop. KP is a musician from Canada, officially my youngest guest, and possibly the most inspiring so far. He has so much guidance and advice to give ...

Check out Annabeth's cartoons over at https://www.instagram.com/anna_shenannagans/ and find her on Reddit (I don't know how Reddit works, so I'll leave that up to you). The plumber got in the way of this episode the first time we tried, but not this time! No one can stop us from discussing Spongebob and the misadventures of Tech Deck Dudes. I was super excited to interview Annabeth for the podcast because she brings incredible cartoons and comic strips to the world. All I can say is check out he...

Give Tom a follow at https://www.instagram.com/t0m_pink/ and check out his website at https://tompinkart.com/ I was very excited to have Tom on the show this week since it's been close to 5 years since we last spoke. Tom and I actually shared an art class together in high school, so it's rad to catch up with him and see how far his art has come. Tom is a graduate from Buffalo and is currently working in data analytics, but most importantly, he's an incredible oil painter. So in this episode, Tom...

Check out Jerome's artwork on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/kjo_arts/ and his website at https://www.jerome-kam.com/ Jerome is a UK based digital artist who I've been following for quite some time now, so I was hyped to have him on the show.

So in this episode, we dive into Jerome's life as it has revolved around his ...

What's going on guys? This is the audio version of my Day to Day blog post for May 18th 2021. This one is all about my thoughts on learning and how powerful knowledge is. This discussion stems from a conversation I heard on the radio where the hosts debated with callers about the uses and benefits of crypto currencies. This topic is interesting to me as I've begun falling down the blockchain rabbit-hole. The issue I had was the fact that these hosts had no knowledge to back up their opinions. Th...

This Day to Day is all about how my perfectionism with my art taught me how to view the world differently. While I'm usually focused on the minor details of the painting, I get distracted from seeing how good the full painting actually looks. To me, that's similar to how a lot of us go through life. We focus so much on these small inconveniences and trivial matters that we rarely look at the big picture. We don't take the time to see how little this "bad" event affects us. If you prefer the writ...

Why The Hell Not? That's what I'm thinking about today. WTHN is a phrase my friends and I came up with back in high school and it popped into my head a couple days ago. I started thinking about it because a lot of the time, when I try a new challenge or routine, I get asked why. People always want to know why I'm trying new things and learning new things when what I've been doing has worked out just fine. WTHN is my answer and in this podcast, I explain exactly why. If you prefer the written ver...

The title is certainly NOT a play on a Spongebob quote. I would never make a reference to that garbage show. As always, this is the audio version of my recent Day to Day blog post from April 18th titled Yo, Your Ego is Showing. I recently finished reading The Power of Now and had some thoughts on one of the ideas Eckhart Tolle discusses and how it relates to my life. Hopefully you can learn something new or interesting from my thoughts. If you prefer the written version, you can head over to htt...

This week, I sit down with my friend Mike Mullin. Mike is a graduate from Rutgers University with a degree in engineering. He is now in charge of running tests and diagnostics on NY's power grid, so don't mess with him! Mike how a great outlook on life and likes to take a go-with-the-flow mindset with things like picking a major, finding a career, and just living life in general. He's never been one to put too much pressure on himself to choose the correct area of study or field for work because...

Once again, I am sorry for my terrible audio quality. I triple checked to make sure I was recording with my microphone and it still didn't work, so I don't know what the deal is. Oh well, nothing I can do about it now. This week I sit down with Brendan who was one of my first guests on the show. He asked me to come back on the show to discuss an interesting and fun topic. We came across a YouTube channel called CoinFlip Trip that inspired our wanderlust. Now that we've been stuck inside for almo...

We did it, we made it a full year! Can you believe it? I sure can't. One year ago, I set out to start a podcast as a way to feel less worried, confused, and anxious about the future. A year ago, I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life. I had just quit my first full time job as a sales rep and I was living with my friends in Binghamton. While I'm still very confused, worried, and anxious about the future, it's not as bad as it was then. Brandon on the other hand was substitute teaching in ...

We are back with the one and only Freddy 2X to help my dad get through his post surgery boredom at home. So Dad, if you're reading this, go lay down and relax, dude. Freddy is one of my dad's best friends and I've been wanting to talk with him for awhile now. Freddy is officially the oldest person we've had on the show so far, so he brings a new and interesting perspective to the podcast. Freddy has never been one to follow the conventional path in life like so many other people. Having not been...

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry my audio quality sounds like trash. I accidentally recorded this interview through my webcam. Luckily I don't talk too much because I'm not the important one here. We're all here to listen to Paolo's story. Paolo has a rare genetic disorder called Morquio Type A which is a disease similar to mine. I was hyped to speak with Paolo because it's cool to hear how other people view their disease and manage it. So Paolo and I discuss growing up with Morquio, dealing with it...

Welcome back my friends. Happy Thanksgiving week! On this episode of ETT I talk with my buddy Todd, a long time friend of Matt Folkerts, whom you may know from past episodes. In this conversation I talk with Todd about his life up to this point and a little about where he wants to go from here. Todd studied computer science and is currently working in the field, programming cameras and doing what he loves, problem solving. But Todd doesn't see himself working for someone else in the long-run. He...

This week I sit down with my buddy Jake, a long time friend of Brandon Porter. Jake and I discuss his life up to this point, from all the mistakes, hardships, and successes. Like many people our age, Jake wasn't sure what he wanted to study in college or where he wanted to go with his life, so he went in majoring in Biology before realizing that wasn't his path. He ended up switching to Geology and putting 110% effort into his studies, leading to overwhelming exhaustion after graduation. Now Jak...

I recently watched a documentary on Netflix called Minimalism by Matt D'Avella in which a quote by AJ Leon really struck a cord with me. To paraphrase AJ said he was offered the promotion he had always dreamed of but he feared that if he took the offer, he'd never escape and be able to live the life he truly wanted. From there I went down a rabbit hole of thought which I go into more detail in my blog post at http://expeditiontotry.com/ and that's what we discuss in this episode. We discuss how ...

A Ghost Story, directed by David Lowery is on my list of top ten favorite movies and Brandon was the person who first told me to watch it. The first time I watched it, I sprinted to his room as soon as it ended and we discussed it for 2 hours. It was probably a whole lot of nonsense, but it made us think more and more about the film. We wanted to try and have another conversation about it for this week's podcast because we both love cinema and want to incorporate it into our lives. That's what t...

This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jonathan Harris after he reached out to me on Instagram. Jonathan is a well accomplished young adult who, from an early age was told he would amount to great things. Often times so many of us receive pressure from the opposite end of the spectrum, but Jonathan had his own fears and anxieties growing up. In his short time here, he's been able to publish three books - Master of Ceremonies, Growing Gents, and Girls with Pearls. He's also spoken at a...

I received an Instagram DM from Luke a couple weeks ago asking if I'd be interested in collaborating. How could I say no? This week I talk with Luke Burrows, all the way from the UK. Luke is an ambitious young adult, who decided secondary education wasn't for him and neither was working at a 9-5. He has started quite a few businesses so far in his life and learned a lot from the mistakes he's made, all of them leading to his current path of running Grow2Gether. Luke's goal is to constantly be im...

Ausar and I discuss the podcast of course and where he sees it going, but we also dive into his life, his process of getting to where he is now, where he's going from here, and some of the healthy habits he's picked up over the years that have helped him succeed.

Welcome back to another episode of the podcast! Been a couple week's since I've posted an interview, but we're back. This week I sat down with my buddy Andrew, who I met while working at the ice cream shop this summer.

Andrew and I discuss his current college process during covid and where he plans on going with a history degree. He has big plans for the future...

We discuss Greg's choice to go to Niagra University for sports management and his decision to double major in communications. We get into some of his future plans and how he sees both himself growing personally as well as his career....
