Awaken The Awesome

This is one of those recordings that I'm ready and willing to admit I didn't really know what I'd come out with on the other end. But when you see someone doing great work and giving their all for a cause that you also believe in, you reach out and say Hello. I came across Malcolm 's content a few weeks ago and being an active supporter of Men's work over the past few years myself, I felt compelled to reach out and show some love. As a coach and co-founder of the MALE MTL community & Men's group, I had to tip my hat off to Malcolm for his involved and genuine commitment to creating a space of safe communication, bonding and support for the Men out there who truly feel they have no space or place to speak the truth of their emotions or concerns. Malcolm is one of those calm, genuine and attentive souls that you just can't ignore. Our conversation, as impromptu as it was, stands as a true testament to what happens when like-minded souls...

It was only going to be a matter of time before I would have him back on the program. From our first recording together, which you most definitely should check out(Ep. 125) , Max De La Cruz and I have certainly aligned on many levels. From the warrior's mindset, to childishly getting a laugh out of the little whimsical things that occur in our everyday lives, to the undeniable demands of fatherhood, to furthering the necessary conversations about mental health among men...I can quite honestly admit I've made a new friend. This next recording is very much the product of this mutual energy and respect. As we were candidly exchanging back and forth over DM, we eventually got to bounce off different observations in regards to another topic we were both quite versed in : Marriage & Long-Term relationships.  We realized that a lot of the stuff we were discussing could be useful to people and, as these thi...

Growing up in a Third World country but having had the privilege to make a life abroad has taught me a lot about gratitude and resilience. Two very useful tools I believe are essential in anyone's arsenal along their journey. Having also been raised by a pair of solid overachievers who did not shy away from instilling a sense of duty and strive for excellence in their children was something I also benefited from. These are but a few of the elements that resonated with me as I took the time to read up on my next guest and her many incredible achievements. While it is true that circumstances such as financial resources, cultural background, family upbringing all play a significant part in one's journey, I truly believe that the power of the the mind and the choice to elevate one's self beyond these challenges remains the deciding factor between Success and Complacency. From the slums of Lagos, Nigeria,...

As we near our 100th episode, I wanted to take things back to the beginning and reach out to one of the first guests who, in their own special and gracious way, said 'Yes' to being on the program and sharing their story. Jessica Cantave is a special being to say the least. With a sense of mindfulness and truth that has always inspired me and fueled our lifelong friendship over the years, it's always a welcome treat to have her on the podcast. Special side note - when your guest is also your cousin, chances are very good that you'll hit a certain level of intimacy and vulnerability that can only help towards a better understanding of your own personal growth. On this touching episode, we touch on lot of personal insights and individual perspectives on Life, Laughter, Love and even Loss... You never have to look to far for an amazing conversation. This one was totally unplanned, unrehearsed and got...

On this solo episode, I wanted to close out the year with a simple yet intimate look back at the wild ride that has been this podcast so far. 70 episodes is nothing to take for granted and it's definitely something that I had to acknowledge. With a deep sense of gratitude, humility, excitement, and ambition, I just wanted to share a bit of my personal side of the story so far. With my sincere thanks and appreciation for your continued support, feedback and appreciation, Enjoy.
