    In this episode, I reflect on what it really means to live a long, meaningful life. From smoking and drinking to relationships and regrets, I share my own journey of experimentation, growth, and eventual transformation. I talk about the importance of honest guidance for young people, the power of critical thinking, and the deep connection we can find beyond ourselves. Aging, I’ve found, isn’t a descent—it’s an ascent. Let’s explore how to live fully, wisely, and with purpose.

    In this episode, I reflect on our deep need to reconnect with nature—even in the midst of concrete jungles. From a squirrel’s daring journey across power lines to quiet walks through mountain trails, I explore how the natural world restores us, grounds us, and reminds us of our place in something bigger. I touch on everything from cockroaches to bamboo forests, plastic pollution to poetry, and why respecting nature is not just necessary—it’s transformative. Tune in for a thoughtful journey into the wild, and maybe a little soul restoration too.

    In this episode, I explore what it really means to have a personal brand—not as a sales pitch, but as a reflection of who we are at our core. I share how every time we step out into the world, we’re taking our brand with us—our values, our integrity, our story. From getting ready for a night out to making your bed in the morning, it’s all part of showing up with intention.

    Jun 23 2025
    In this episode, I reflect on what it really means when we hear “the meek shall inherit the earth.” It’s not about weakness or submission—it’s about power held with restraint. From a personal story at a bar to the life of Jesus, I explore how true strength lies in self-control, critical thinking, and nonviolent resistance. In a world flooded with aggression, maybe real power is in knowing when not to use it.* If you'd like to access the full script and take quizzes related to this episode, please visit https://dbawageslave.com/podcast-episode-115/ Music by https://www.free-stock-music.com https://corporate-music-zone.bandcamp.com Alexander Nakarada (CreatorChords) | https://creatorchords.com -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

    Jun 20 2025
    In this episode, I reflect on the one gift we all possess—but so often overlook: time. Inspired by a walk through a secondhand shop, a quiet lunch, and a striking encounter with a man on the street, I explore why time is far more precious than money or even relationships. Through stories, reflection, and a powerful poem by Khalil Gibran, I challenge us to stop drifting and start using our time with purpose, because once it's gone… it's truly gone. Let’s not waste the only thing we can’t get back.

    In this episode, I dive into the age-old trap of comparison—how it's intensified by the internet and social media, and how it quietly chips away at our sense of self. I share a personal story about being a teenager convinced I was the "ugliest boy" in school—until one unexpected encounter shifted my mindset completely. Along the way, we talk about status anxiety, practicing gratitude, and the quiet power of self-acceptance. This one's a heartfelt reminder that we are enough—just as we are.

    Jun 13 2025
    In this episode, I reflect on what it really means to savor life’s bouquet—through quiet moments, unexpected lessons, and even a little scripture. From helping a student through self-doubt to learning from a tiny frog on the road, it’s all about embracing the now and finding strength in presence.

    Jun 9 2025
    In this episode, I open up about something we all face at some point—starting over. Whether it’s forced upon us or chosen, a new beginning can feel overwhelming, painful, even paralyzing. I share my own reflections as someone approaching 70, exploring how we move forward when life feels unfamiliar. From facing dark moods to finding spiritual grounding, I talk through what’s helped me: honest self-talk, physical movement, writing down my intentions, and most of all, believing in possibility. A new beginning isn’t easy—but it can be beautiful. Take a chance on you.
