    Episode 101: How does one overcome loss and failure? The simple answer is by never, ever giving up on you! Accept responsibility for the catastrophe and move forward. The only alternative is to succumb to spiritual death.
    May 5 2025
    Everywhere I go, I see it—the weight of loss and failure in people's eyes. We've all been there, standing at the crossroads of despair and possibility. I talk about what it means to take those first halting steps toward rebuilding, embracing the pain, and pushing forward despite the fear. Through reflection, routine, and resilience, I explore how to reclaim life, even when it feels like everything has fallen apart. No shortcuts. No easy fixes. Just honest conversations on overcoming setbacks, finding purpose, and remembering—there's always hope. Because if it's not fine yet, it's not the end.

    In this special 100th episode, I reflect on the power of routine—not as something glamorous, but as a key to overcoming procrastination and building a meaningful life. I share my personal daily habits, the importance of gratitude and prayer, and how simple consistency has helped me write books, give a TED Talk, and create this podcast. If I can do it, anyone can. It all starts with habit, discipline, and of course, critical thinking.

    Apr 14 2025
    In this episode, I reflect on my unexpected 15 minutes of fame—first as a wannabe rock star with wild hair, and more recently as a senior citizen representative meeting the mayor on TV. But fame, I’ve learned, is fleeting. Drawing from Stoic and Christian teachings, I explore the idea that true purpose lies not in being celebrated, but in helping others, practicing humility, and thinking critically.

    Apr 11 2025
    In this episode, I reflect on the deep fatigue so many of us feel and explore the importance of real rest—not just sleep, but physical, mental, emotional, and even creative rest. I share personal stories, practical tips, and moments of pause that have helped me recharge and regain clarity. Rest, I’ve realized, is essential for creativity, self-awareness, and becoming the best version of ourselves. And of course, none of it works without critical thinking.

    In this episode, I reflect on the power of sound—how it can uplift us or slowly erode our emotional well-being. From the beauty of nature’s melodies to the overwhelming presence of white noise and negativity, I explore how what we hear shapes our mindset. I discuss the dangers of emotional conditioning through music and media, the importance of choosing positive influences, and the role of critical thinking in navigating our auditory world.
