#52 - Go Easy on Yourself

There have been many discussions about modern laziness and short attention spans in the modern world. Many of us struggle with a lack of motivation and we’re more distracted than ever. And although it’s easy (and justifiable) to criticize ourselves when we procrastinate and avoid our responsibilities, it’s also important that we consider the source of this behavior if we’ll have any hope of overcoming it. ...

#50 - The Harsh Reality of Making Life Decisions

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never taken a class on decision-making. My parents never sat me down and taught me how to think deeply about the consequences of my actions. When it comes to making life choices, the only teacher I’ve ever had was life itself. I’ve made decisions, those decisions have had consequences, and then I’ve analyzed those consequences with the hopes that I’ll be able to make even better decisions in the future. But I’m a human being… and naturally, I want to feel a sense...

#47 - For Aspiring Content Creators

It’s crazy to think that not so long ago, terms like ‘artist’ and ‘content creator’ didn’t hold much weight. But ever since people started realizing how much money can be made as a creator, it has become one of the most sought after careers in modern society. But there are a lot of things that most people misunderstand when it comes to creating content and what it really takes to get paid as a creator. So in this episode, I'm going to share a few things I've learned over the years with the hopes...

#43 - The Biggest Lie about Relationships

From a very young age we are told countless lies about the purpose of committed relationships, how those relationships are developed, and what it takes to maintain them overtime. It's only as we get older and start trying to develop our own relationships that we actually realize relationships are not what we read about in fairytales, or see in movies or on social media. Unfortunately, many of us never had anyone to teach us about how committed relationships work and so we were forced to learn th...

#39 - Quiet People Have It Rough

A lot of people have a hard time dealing with silence, especially in the presence of another person. In many cultures, silence is viewed as a problem, a breakdown in communication, or a void that must be filled with some kind of noise. If the person we’re speaking with is silent too often or for too long, we tend to associate negative feelings with them such as boredom, awkwardness, and rejection. This episode will give you a different way to think about silence and help you to understand quiet ...

This lack of understanding often leads us to misinterpret many situations and develop negative feelings or opinions about the various peopl...

#28 - Tips for Better Language Exchanges

When you can’t afford to pay for private English lessons, language exchanges are the next best way to learn a foreign language. Why? Because we learn a language to communicate with real people. So by practicing with real people every day, you’ll be learning both the language and the culture in one of the most authentic ways possible. The problem is that finding (and keeping) a good language exchange partner online is one of the hardest things for an English learner to do. Now, I’m not an expert ...
