Bad Jokes

I'm sure by now you have heard about Chris Rock & Will Smith incident and I thought it would be interesting to talk about violence and also the consequences of bad humor. Maybe someone might think Jada was just being too sensitive, but I think the society that we are living in and the things that we are facing these days especially due to certain exposure on social media and TV become a sensitive topic to joke about someone's appearance. I know some old folks are going to say it is just a jo...

Taking Time To Enjoy The Little Things

In this episode I want us to talk about self-care. As much as we want to be productive and do our best, self-care is what makes this happen.

How To Stay Humble

We talked quite a lot about being successful and the ways to get there In this podcast so I thought it would be interesting to talk about how to stay humble while still being successful. I think it is important to acknowledge that some people might not be successful as you but that doens't mean you need to let your success get in your head and you start looking down on people.

Letting Go Of Grudges

Holding a grudge is something that happens at one point in our lives. Sometimes we don't even realize we are holding a grudge until we look at how we describe or change our attitude towards someone. It is not something that we should be holding onto, but it is also not something we can just say forgive and forget. The process of forgiving takes time just like trust it can't be forced or rushed so you can make someone else feel better. You have to actually deal with it; cry about it and let yours...

Declutter Your Mind

So we talk about this quite a lot especially at the beginning of the year when it comes to our home, closet, garage, or office but somehow we seem to neglect that our mind needs decluttering too. You can't keep holding onto the past like toxic relationships, old habits, and bad ones. You gotta let them go just the way you let go of that furniture, coat, or the shoes that you no longer use.

Growing Up With Social Media

I think sometimes we don't realize this as we were introduced to social media at such an early age, but as we grow up the things we post, the things we used to like change. It's just part of being a human. However, we sometimes forget that social media accounts we see or some people we idolize grow up too. Just like us, they change too and they have the right to change just like how people might change and evolve over time into their own personalities. Please subscribe and leave a review on audi...

Chasing Trends To Stay Relevant

Thanks to TikTok there is at least one new trend every day and not to mention all these so-called educational channels to get you to jump on these trends so you can make it about your niche or business.

I'm not even talking about the part of making the content, but about the return of investment, you potentially get. 9 out of 10 it is actually nothing valuable to you as a creator or as a business owner.
