What if you weren’t worried about being enough for someone else? What if you lived fully as who you were meant to be?

Today I want to introduce you to Becca, I met Becca on a creator trip I hosted last year, and her joining for another one here in Bolivia was something truly special 

I believe we meet people for a reason, but I also believe we don’t always meet people as our best selves; but who we are is always present, the root and the heart of what makes us who we are, it is what another gets to know

If I’m being honest, when I met Becca I was in a different head space that I am now, but something about her, her intentionality to know who someone is, her ability to be seen for who she is, I’m truly grateful to know her and call her a friend

We chat about EVERYTHING! Literally, from health to what keeps us up at night, to why she loves meat sticks, and why the authentic joys of life lead to accepting yourself for who you are

She shares about the pain and growth in loving someone fully, and the importance in giving yourself that same love, the joy in laughing till you cry, and the reality of silencing self doubt

Becca is someone I admire, look up to, and value as a human in my life. She is one who understands that fear is an invitation to move forward and see what comes of life, and one that knows growth is on the other side of what we fear 

So tune in and meet Becca, one who will tell you so sincerely that you deserve to experience life, all of it, so so fully, and one who will remind you not to dim your light for anyone 

And to you Becca thank you, thank you for the late night chats, the raw and real soul that you so sincerely allow me to know, the laughter, oh the endless laughter, and that absolute gift of calling you my friend. Love you endlessly 

What if we were allowed to be imperfect and to change?

Today I want to introduce you to Mariale, I had the pleasure of meeting this sweet girl on a day in Lima Peru, if you listened to last weeks episode than you heard a bit of Alex as well, these two welcomed me into their lives for the day as if we were old friends reuniting

She is someone who holds to a gentle spirit, one who values the joy of each day, and one who shares what it can be like when fear can get in the way of how we are present with those we love

We chat about the value of trust, not just in relationships but in life, in how without it we cannot move forward in a job, in a relationship, or any aspect of life. 

She shares about a time that landed her in tears on national television, how strangers came to help her, and how it changed the way she views what truly matters

We chat about what it means to value your place in life, but to never ask for love or to fight for the right to be valued for who you are.

Mariale is someone I instantly treasured, someone I believe made me a better person for the single day I got to share with her, someone who I think shares some of the most impactful advice for humanity, and someone I have a profound respect and love for

So tune in today and meet this sweet soul, hear what it is to view our parents as humans, what it means to smile at the man in the bank, and why what is personal is ours to give power to

And to you Mariale thank you, thank you for your genuine open heart, for your way of allowing me to know you and seeing me as well, and for the way you choose to show up in this world. You are a human I am honored to call a friend and cannot wait to see again soon

Do you feel like art holds value in your life?

Today I want to introduce you to Lexi, Lexi is an artist, and as much as I often say that we are not merely defined by “what we do” there is something in the heart of an artist, something in the way they see the world, in the way they see humanity, and they way the allow their own emotions to take form in what they create. In so many ways being an artist is a term that actually defines and does not contain a person so fully all at once 

I had the pleasure of working alongside Lexi in Mexico on a recent project of hers, both shooting BTS and modeling for her, she is an incredibly encouraging person to work with and one that truly inspires and motivates you to do your best, while all along knowing she is going to encourage you and be her kind self no matter what

Lexi and I chat about what it is to pursue a passion project, why women in water has been her focus and what moments in her career have felt like the most success. 

She shares the fear she feels going into a big project knowing it needs to produce pieces she can use, that failure is both terrifying and beautiful all at once. Lexi uses the phrase “happy accidents” a lot, in a really sweet way, that the weather, the rain, the darkness, and the things we cannot control are all things that can lead to “happy accidents” in her art. I really love the way she views her work, the way she approaches those she works with when it comes to creating her work, and the way she feels pressure, but does not let it consume who she truly is.

Lexi is one that thinks so much of what she is does, on the impact she has on those and what is around her, she feels deeply, connects wholly, and is one that I believe lives with a sense of desire for her work, but not one that places that above the value of who stands in front of her.

So tune in today and meet Lexi, an artist, a determined soul, a heart full of beautiful things yet to be seen by the world. 

And to you Lexi thank you, thank you for letting me push you to have this conversation, for the honor of getting to work alongside you, model for you, and be encouraged by you as I pushed my own abilities as well. You are a truly lovely soul and I am grateful for the time with you. Looking forward to our next adventure together.

How important is it for you to feel valued, to feel that the person before you, no matter their role, sees you as equal?

What would it look like if we valued others regardless of their position, regardless of our position, regardless of what they know but rather by how they interacted with humanity?

Today I want to introduce you to Sebastian, Sebastian is a man that has taken his love for nature and humanity and brought them together in how he runs his restaurant, how he pours his heart into what he shares from his kitchen, and how he is present with those in front of him

He shares with me how he and his partner value the environment they work in and the people that are a part of that family, how they heart in those people matters over the knowledge they may have, and why the key to success is to preserve humility and respect, and to treat others as equal; that no one is lower than you in life or in work

We talk about the importance in sitting with a place and its people, why its important to enjoy life in its entirety, to focus on its joys often, and to not wait for something specific

He shares how his time out of Bolivia gave him perspective and in so many ways validated what he knows, and in other ways gave him gratitude for what is present in his life

Sebastian is not unlike many others I met in Bolivia in his warmth, he is a man with a kind smile almost always about his face, eyes that seek to see and know who stands before him, and a heart focused on the ways he can give of who he is to those he loves and those in his life

So tune today and meet Sebastian, one that I admire for his courage to share who he is with someone he barely knows, someone who does not fear sharing his heart, someone who is willing to push himself beyond what may be easy to connect and share what life has taught him with humility and love in a way I am honored to share with you

And to you Sebastian thank you, thank you for your willingness to be so patient with my flawed Spanish, for your graciousness in welcoming me into your home at Ancestral and the way your heart pours so beautifully into the food you shared with me. It was an honor to be welcomed and I look forward to seeing you again my friend @sebasancestral

Have you ever heard that the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach?

What if food was also a way to get to know the heart of a person or a country?

Today I want to introduce you to Mauricio someone who does just that, Mauricio is one of the incredible head chefs at Ancestral located in La Paz, a city so full of diversity, vibrance, beauty, and life; and Mauricio does an incredible job of bringing each of those qualities into the food he creates

Yet in addition to being an incredible chef, Mauricio is also a man who values and does not take lightly the impact that role has on those around him

He shares the joy he feels in cooking and working with his hands but also the deeper joy in seeing his guests enjoy what he has created for them

He shares how he’s learned to care for the parts of the restaurant beyond the kitchen, the reminder that the restaurant is a business as well as a place of creativity, the importance in seeing those two areas separately and clearly, and as the important things that they are 

We talk about the culture within Bolivia, its ability to grow and change with the world and the way its diversity is something he is grateful for 

Mauricio is one that pours so much into his work, but also one I have a ton of respect for in the way he runs his “ship” there is a tangible sense of care and respect amongst the family surrounding him in the kitchen and on the floor, a sense of character and calm that is rarely present in a restaurant environment, and an attention to detail that creates space for passion to be present in every dish that leaves the kitchen

So tune in today and meet Mauricio, the man that reminded me just how possible it is to be passionate,  present, and productive in what we do

And to you Mauricio thank you, thank you for allowing me the honor of getting to know you, for the chance to hear more of who you are, what matters to you, and what has impacted how you show up in this world, thank you for your patience and presence, and of course for sharing the way food turns into art in your kitchen @mauriciolopezancestral

Have you ever met someone that was accomplishing more than felt humanly possible?

You know the kind of person that doesn’t have no in their heart for what they are passionate about?

Today I want to introduce you to Sumaya, Sumaya is a woman that I gained an immense respect and admiration for very quickly after spending our first meal together, she is one that views her life as an opportunity to do good, to see those who are hurting, and to love those in her life

She shares with me what it was like embracing big roles in her career at a young age, why she doesn’t get sick because she doesn’t have time for such things, and why giving the extra step is something she fears she may at some point be unable or unwilling to do

We talk about how we can give others an opportunity to be reminded of who they can be and who they are, why dreaming and doing are connected, and why she believes that if you can dream it you can do it

She shares why she believes our role when someone says “you can’t” is to show them they are wrong, why fear or not, we should approach whoever we need to make something happen for the sake of what is needed, and why we must not allow ourselves to be blind to the realities around us, no matter how ugly they may be

Sumaya is one that lives as a vehicle for change, one that uses everything at her fingertips to remind others of who they can be, one the welcomes struggle, and one that believes if something is done in love, we have no need to worry about offending those we seek for help

So tune in today and meet Sumaya, a woman who commands respect without asking because of the love she gives

And to you Sumaya thank you, thank you for the way you have shared so much of your life work with me, for the deep honor of meeting your kids, for the way you have reminded me to not fear those in power more than we fear letting down those in need, for the opportunity to see a small part of your world through your eyes, and the gift of knowing you; you are, against your will, a remarkable and incredibly valuable woman @pradosumaya

Have you ever met someone that without thinking twice spoke to you like a friend, helped you like a friend, and showed you around their home with the joy of a friend finally sharing their city?

Today I want to introduce you to Jose or Joe as some of his friends call him, Jose is many things, hardworking, warm, kind, a man that carries himself in a calm and observant confidence, one that is gently aware of those around him, and one that values new opportunities even if they are a little scary

He shares the value he places on time, the impact of what we can control within that and what we cannot control and how those two ideas coexist

We talk about the importance of loyalty, the depth that comes from trust and relationship with others, and the impact finiteness has on our human bodies

He shares about three areas in his life that allow him to feel most at peace when they are in balance, and why he doesn’t look forward to things as much but appreciates what’s happening in the moment and how that has brought him more joy 

Jose is one that I learned a lot from in my time with him, things like remembering to not overthink the future, that being present and there for others is sometimes silent, and that sometimes the things we are most proud of is simply knowing we are capable of more 

So tune in today and meet my friend Jose, a man you should get to know

And to you Jose thank you, thank you for going out of your way to share your country with me, for helping me as you would a close friend before you knew me, for sharing time with me, and for the chance to get to know you, I’ve left Bolivia a better person for knowing you my friend @storytellernomad

Do you ever wonder what makes you who you are, what attributes others see in you that define who you are to them?

What if you could change that?

Today I want to introduce you to Brandon, Brandon is one that is not afraid to say yes and see where life leads, he is one that pours everything he has into whatever he does, and one that is not afraid to change who he was to become who he wants to be

He shares how his friendships and ability to have deep conversations led him to chase a dream, how those same conversations allowed him to value who he was and worry less of what others thought, and how times of struggle have made him a better and more creative person 

We talk about what it means to “create” art, who its created for and why it can be encouraging to create for those outside of our community

He shares why part of this trip was scary for him but also why so much of it, stress and all was worth it

We chat some of our major “L’s”  during our time in Bolivia, how connection and collaboration are a big part of success and growth as a creative, and the joy that comes from bringing something to life

Brandon is one that takes his time in a way I’ve appreciated, one that doesn’t rush into letting outside circumstances impact immediate action, one that values having a plan, but also one that is admirably able to throw the plan out the window and chase a dream 

So tune in today and meet Brandon, one that will challenge you, remind you to find joy in who you are becoming, and one that will inspire you by the art he continues to create 

And to you Brandon thank you, thank you for going on this wild last minute ride to the end of the world with me, thank you for reminding me to trust in who I am, for dreaming with me, for putting up with all the stress and helping me bring a dream of mine to life. It is an honor to call you friend and I can’t wait to see what adventures are ahead, this world is a better place with you in it and I am a better person for knowing you @Brandonroyce

What do you do when there’s a pause in conversation?

Do you wait or fill the silence?

Today I want to introduce you to Gilmar, Gilmar is one that is known by others as one of the nicest people they’ve met, and it’s something I can verify

As someone who loves connecting with others myself I’m really grateful for this conversation and the ways Gilmar shares his perspective on communication

He shares how he has begun to allow himself to let silence happen; weather it’s himself taking a moment to think of what he wants to say or allowing another the space to do the same

We talk about the strengths, balances, and the parts of us our partners bring to the surface

He shares why he looks up to his dad and the lessons he’s been taught about hard work, the pride in being able to start his own business, and why he likes to look forward to things in stages

Gilmar is one who speaks and listens with sincerity, one that is not afraid to pursue his dreams, and one that finds purpose helping others

So tune in today and meet Gilmar a friend from the towne

And to you Gilmar thank you, thank you for sharing perspectives that have given me a new way to pursue connection, for the effort you so quickly give to support your friends, and for the chance to share a part of your fun and kind soul with others

follow Gilmar HERE and check out his clothing brand HERE 

There is an unspoken lesson I learned from Stanley; but one I want to share with you all

His gentle demeanor 

His natural inclination to smile at and share what he has with a stranger 

His reserved nature and the reminder that what is yours, that your story, it remains with you on your terms

That sharing it with another is a deep form of trust and that everyone doesn’t deserve that trust

My first time meeting Stanley reminded me of that feeling when you are in a place your feel a bit, out of place, like everyone around you is in a world you maybe just don’t fit into, and then you look up and find that someone else shares that same feeling

That feeling that one stranger choosing to see you and in a simple act of sharing a smile can communicate a thousand words, a thousand feelings, and one invaluable human gift… the chance to be seen and understood 

So often we go through life in our own space, in our own world, looking up from time to time to be sure we are still on the right path, but I’ve found so much more in remembering that our world is shared

That it’s more important to fix our gaze and attention around us, that once in a while taking time to look down, reflect, and process is ok, but that we miss so much more when we fix our eyes on ourselves, or our phones

I shared a brief moment with a stranger, which turned to a conversation, which allowed me to know a bit of what has made him who he is, which led to me sharing the tiniest bit of who he is with you…

All because of a smile, a muffin that gave an excuse for conversation, and a gaze that wanted to see the world we share

So that lesson; look up, smile, don’t be afraid to connect with another over a simple moment in life, such moments are never a waste of time

So tune in today and meet Stanley, a man the values showing up for others because we can, a man with many dreams yet to be realized, and a man that believes in not giving advice but one that wants us to remember to think about whatever it is we need to do or become

And to you Stanley thank you, thank you for being one that looks at those around him, that gives a smile quickly, that doesn’t fear letting someone else know him, and for sharing time in a coffee shop with me

What do others feel when they spend time with you?

Have you ever met someone and felt accepted, welcomed, and wanted? 

Today I want to introduce you to John, a man that effortlessly and effectively makes others feel welcome, his genuine smile, and joy for life are things he shares so quickly and so tangibly with anyone around him

He shares with me how life as a professional free diver has allowed him to connect with and learn from others, how home is so much more than a location but is anywhere he is present with his family; both blood and those in his community 

He shares about a terrifying time being kidnapped in his early 20’s, the feeling of having his life in the hands of evil men, but how that experience changed the way he looks at life and opportunity for the better

We talk about the importance of loyalty, trust, and how the act of breathing is something we can each re learn how to embrace

John is one that can change the mood of a room for the better, soften a hard or difficult moment with sincerity, and remind us all what effort and dedication to what we love can lead to

So tune in today and meet John, a man who warmly spreads knowledge with humility, believes in the value of experiencing life and learning, and one I have witnessed be a tangible source of kindness to those around him

And to you John thank you, thank you for the warmth you share with others, for the way you and your wife always made me feel at home with you, for your joy that you so humbly share, and for the chance to train alongside you; you are a kind a warm soul and I am better for knowing you my friend @johnmochi

What if you couldn’t breathe?

Have you ever had the wind knocked out of you? You know that feeling of gasping for air, but nothing comes?

Today I want to introduce you to Sahika, someone who has found the absence of breathe to be her scariest and most peaceful moments

We talk about how what has happened in her home is so heavy in her heart, why she knows there is meaning in where we each come from, and why what she does in competition for her country is more than just for her

She shares why the ocean saved her life and  how getting to be a U.N. ambassador for ocean conservation allows her to help protect something that gave her so much

We talk about what it’s like breaking world records as a diver but she also shares how failing a record attempt taught her so much more than succeeding ever could

Sahika is one that is passionate and  dedicated to whatever she does, and one that hopes her life inspires others to never give up on their own dreams

So tune in today and meet this sweet friend of mine and learn why her life started the moment she held her breath

And to you Sahika thank you, thank you for sharing so much if your heart, your time, and your knowledge with me. Thank you for the fun late night laughs, the joy and energy you always bring with you, you are a passionate, empathetic, and thoughtful soul, and I am so grateful to know you 🤍 @sahikaercumen

Today I want to talk to you about current events and humanity 

On February 6th a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck turkey and Syria with over 2 thousand subsequent tremors occurring in the next days and weeks, tremors reaching 6.4 and 5.8 re devastating and leveling cities along the Turkish and Syrian border 

The Cities of Hatay, shanli-urfa, gaziantep, ossmaneya, adiyaman, and Aleppo have been completely destroyed

And the following quakes leveling the province of Hatay less than a couple weeks after the initial shock 

To date over 47,000 people have died between Turkey and Syria with over 43 thousand in Turkey alone 

Leaving countries, cities, and homes in ruins

And to this I would ask you to tune in and allow me to share why this matters to all of us, what we can do, and what our actions say about our part in humanity

There are two ways you can help, first there is an urgent need for tents that are acting as homes for families right now, $530 USD will provide a tent for a family; a home for them as theirs has been destroyed by the damage from the earthquakes. If you are able to give anything towards these efforts all donations will be sent directly to Hatay. For this you can send your donation to my Venmo link HERE just mark it for Turkey support.

If you prefer to donate to the efforts at large you can find a link HERE if you are able to give anything towards the rescue and rebuilding efforts as so many take a step forward after such a devastating loss.

Welcome back for part 2 of Dear Humanity 

What is something you feel humanity should know?
If you were to share something with a large crowd, what would it be? Today's episode is a compilation of some of my guests over the years answering this question

So tune in today and find out what my friends around the world would give as their "ted talk"

Do you remember a time when someone made you feel worth showing up for?

What about a time when you sat with a friend and simply listened to what they needed to share?

Today I want to introduce you to Joffrey, someone who has both been impacted and chooses to impact others by absorbing what they need to share and understanding what our actions say when we show up

We talk about the fear of losing our ability to be ourselves, how disease can come for us and we can't hold it back, and how that impacts how we approach our days. We talk about the importance of community and the way we get to learn about things completely new to us simply from talking to a stranger. 

He shares what it's like being humbled by his kids, but also how their words can also be the highest compliment and affirmation. We talk about the struggle of comparison and how it comes for each of us, how addiction rips through so many and steals so much life from those in it and around it, and why it's so ok and so important to ask for help in every area of life

Joffrey is one that values directness and carries that value with him in a gentle way, he is one that values the joy found in life daily and how that joy can't be shaken in the way happiness can, he is one that isn't afraid to experience life and has a hope for others to do the same; to go for a walk, give someone a high five, or do something new

So tune in today and meet Joffrey, a teacher in a professional sense but more importantly in a humanity sort of way, I know you will walk away from this episode learning something new about what life has for you

And to you Joffrey thank you, thank you for the chance to share a part of who you are with others, for your fun and open spirit, for the way you choose to approach life and people with a student like heart to learn from and absorb what each moment has to offer, you are a genuine soul and it's an honor to know you my friend.

You can follow Joffrey here @ejayrosa.

And if you want to learn more about how you can travel with me just head to the link HERE 

What would the world look like if we never doubted our ability to accomplish our dreams?

Have you ever been told "you don't have what it takes" or even just asked "are you sure you should be doing that?"

Today I want to introduce you to Matt, Matt is one that not only has wondered what we all might accomplish if doubt wasn't placed on us by others, but also is one who does what he can to be a voice of support for those around him

As a photographer and creative individual Matt is one that knows how easy it is to feel a sense of fear when we pursue something new and the impact others words can have on us, good or bad

He shares how he values community over competition, how he desires to facilitate growth among others in the creative community, and the importance in giving back to the places that continue to inspire him

We talk about the impact genuine connections and experiences have had on us, why the people we connect with are what make the places we travel stand out the most, and why its so important to use our words wisely

He shares about what starting out on his own was like and where he was before he took that leap, how he used to struggle with what others thought of him but how he's so grateful for the freedom he has found in quieting the noise of others

We talk about the impact of failure and discomfort, how value is most often derived from what we can give to others, and the excitement in getting to share what he does with other creators

Matt is one that is on a mission to not only connect and expand his own community but also to use what he grows to impact others, he is one that reminds us not to fear pursuing what brings us joy, and one that so beautifully and creatively shares his art with the world

So tune in today and meet Matt, someone that no matter where you are on your journey, I believe there is something in knowing him that will help you take whatever your next step is

And to you Matt thank you, thank you for the value you place on connection and the way it led our paths to cross, for the heart and human that you so genuinely share with those around you, for your encouragement and patience throughout the week, for the way you are willing to do what's needed without ever overlooking those around you, and for doing 90% of the driving! You are a someone I am so grateful to now call friend and so excited for what life has ahead. @chunger_shoots Join my travel community HERE 

When was the last time you felt like your most vibrant self?

Do you remember the last time you felt truly alive, do you remember where you were, what you were doing, or who you were with?

Today I want to introduce you to Colleen, someone who's most vibrant and alive self I had the chance to share time with in one of the most beautiful places in the world

Colleen and I recently connected in the Canadian Rockies, a place she knows well and a place I had the chance to see with her. Colleen is not unlike the towering mountains or the perfectly placed snow we spent our time in, she is one that like the mountains stands firmly on what matters to her and at the same time lays gently like the snow besides those she cares for

She shares with me why she believes time to be one of the greatest gifts we have and why spending it both intentionally and efficiently impact how she values it most. She shares the heaviness that can be felt between a sense of heart and duty and how those two fare when it comes to direction in life at times

We talk about the importance of pressing in and not losing our zest for life, how loss changes us, and how the impact of those we learned from stays with us

We talk about how the world might be a little kinder if we each learned to value others choices a little more, why accepting ourselves a little sooner in life wouldn't be the worst thing, and why happiness doesn't mean someone didn't work hard to attain it

Colleen is one that observes and responds to those around her with understanding, she is one that knows the struggle life can be and chooses to show up for others in those hard places when she can, she is one that reminds others in the way she lives that it's ok to think of someone else first, but also one that doesn't negate her own value in the process

So tune in today and meet this adventure chasing, mountain climbing, angelic singing friend of mine

And to you Colleen thank you, thank you for being a girl that loves seeing the smile on another's face, for the way you patiently value what's important to the person in front of you, for pushing me oh so gently and firmly to not let my fear hold me back, for allowing me to learn from and get to know the genuine friend that you are. Looking forward to many more mountains and sledding together! @adventureiscolleen Join my travel community HERE

What if the path life set for you wasn’t the one you were meant to take?

What would it take for you to put aside what you were expected to do and pursue what made you feel free?

Today I want to introduce you to Janice, a woman that humbly and energetically has done just that

She shares with me how she at time might have pursued life in a better way but how she is so grateful for where she has chosen ti let it take her

We talk about how change is good and allows us to evolve and grow, how we are able to be more than one thing, and what it does to our actions and days when we reframe our fears

She shares why she believes nothing can go wrong when your heart is open and filed with gratitude, how she used to struggle with self regulation, and why she is at times grateful for her stubbornness but does not want it to define her

So tune in today and met Janice, a truly remarkable human full of inspirational energy that pours from her freely

And to you Janice thank you, thank you for being a woman others can look to, for the gift of your time and the chance to know you more deeply, for the heart and love you have shared with me, and for the message of being unapologetically you that you have allowed me to share

What if this life was bigger than just what you knew in any given moment?

Today I want to introduce you to Jeff, someone who has intentioned his life to not be left on ice

Jeff is one that you feel goes out of his way to connect, share, and learn alongside whomever comes into his life

Jeff is a warm and inviting spirit that I’m so excited to give you a chance to learn from and know a little more today

We talk about what it means to keep youth alive, pressing in to what in life allows you to feel freedom, and the fear of not meeting the financial goals he has in life and why that is so much more than money to him

He shares the joy in his life partner Janice joining him for a current ice bath challenge he is sharing within his community, how ice bathing has impacted his health, and how he is off of all drugs, alcohol, and cannabis for the first time in years because of it

We talk about the deep value in having a network and how he believes so much of our ability to be our best is connected to who we surround ourselves with

And to you Jeff thank you, thank you for being a human that created space for community, for being one that shares that community so openly, for the way you have already given me so much in sharing those people with me, and thank you for your time and your warmth as a friend; you are an incredible compliment to this beautiful life @icebathtulum 

What does it mean to be normal?

What if you saw yourself differently than those who knew you?

Today I want to introduce you to Fonsi, Fonsi is one that describes himself as "a normal guy" but to those of us that know him (and those that just get to see his life on social media) he is anything but average. Fonsi is one that has the ability to share his passion or the ocean with others in a way that helps them let go of fear and embrace the beauty of it all, he is one who cares deeply for others, has a smile and joy that can connect with anyone, and for his many talents, certifications, and abilities... he is one of the most humble and kind men I know

We talk about the importance of being happy not just doing the things you love, but more importantly, doing them with people you love. He shares how what set out to be a few months in Australia turned into a 4 year adventure, and how that time changed his mindset and led him to live the lifestyle he has now

We talk about the value of time with yourself and how the way we value ourselves impacts the way we are able to show up for others. He shares how he has struggled with procrastination and comparison, how he has grown in that in some ways, and how he still maybe puts off things that aren't his favorite tasks

He shares why he would rather share experience over advice, how he hopes what life has taught him can impact others to live the way they are meant to, and why it's important to know that lifestyle may be one way for some and another for others

So tune in today and meet Fonsi, one that emulates the kindness of his culture, one that loves sharing the peace he has found in the ocean with others, and one that humbly, joyfully, and patiently shows up for those around him

And to you Fonsi thank you, thank you for sharing your heart, your talents, your time, and for being such an integral part of our team, you have an overwhelming presence of care that I'm so grateful to know and witness, I am forever honored to call you friend, to learn from you, laugh with you, and cheer you on as you continue to impact this world for the better.

Have you ever been in a crowded room and felt a familiarity with a stranger?

Today I want to introduce you to Nadia, a woman choosing to not only learn what's needed to create her life, but also one who seeks out opportunity to pass that on to the next generation.

We talk about the importance of finding love within ourselves first so we have something to share with others, how that allows us to be fully the best version of ourselves and in turn support those we love to be the same.

She shares how she is proud of starting a new life in NYC but how she looks forward to someday returning to Tunisia and contributing back to her home country.

She shares about her work as a self taught photographer, her career change that led to computer programming, and the way she gets to pour what she has learned into the next generation as a teacher.

She shares why she feels as though she becomes a little bit of everyone she meets, and why she loves who that is allowing her to be.

We talk about the difference in knowing if we are representing ourselves honestly or if someone else is misunderstanding us, and both why and when we need to learn to be ok with what others may misunderstand.

Nadia is one who is not just easy to feel at ease with, but also one who authentically loves reaching out and sharing time and space with others, she is one who shares so much wisdom in what her 23 years have taught her, and one who I believe gives us all a chance to remember how important it is to know our value in a practical way.

We talk about how when we look back things can feel easy and make sense when we see the full picture but how important it is to simply enjoy the process, the journey and what we learn along the way

She shares her desire that we would view each other as support and inspiration rather than competition, and her hope that female voices would be genuinely valued and amplified within her field

We talk about the excitement of the coming year, what it feels like to see what is on the horizon because of the foundation that hard work sets before us.

She shares about the importance of pursuing your dream, why asking yourself not "what if it doesn't" but instead "what if it does? is something that can impact our next steps.

Getting to sit down and share a part of Rob's story is something I am honored to be able to do, to give you a chance to see what inspired him and what keeps him going on this path he has set before himself.

We talk about the importance of making others feel seen and heard, why everything on top of time with the people he cares about is a luxury, and why he values delayed gratification.

He shares why saying I love you to friends is a practice he is grateful for, why understanding that we are not all dealt the same cards is important when we evaluate our own actions and how we view another's, and his hope that we might not allow ourselves to fall into the pattern of comparison.

We talk about the challenge of knowing what specifically needs to be done to succeed as an entrepreneur, the art of talking to and connecting with others, and what it looks like to use that ability to help others begin a conversation with someone new.

So tune in today and meet Rob, one that is on a mission to connect with humanity, one who sees the value in what we can learn from each other, and continually invests his time and resources to share that with others.

And to you Rob thank you, thank you for your willingness to listen and share time with me as a part of your own project, and thank you for your time in being a part of mine. You have reminded me the power in listening, of not worrying how some may perceive us, and the power in learning from someone else.

He shares what growing up playing football was like, how sports taught him resilience, to work though hardships, to never give up, and to work with others. He shares why he believes hard work is something we can all press into no matter our upbringing or circumstances, and how we all experiences ups and downs but if we put in the work, it will pay off

What invokes authority in your life?

There’s this idea, spoken or not, that certain people and places demand respect… authority…

As if their role, title, or association holds power to validate or invalidate your own..

We talk about how life isn’t black and white, how judging others leads to destruction of humanity, and how if we chose to look to someone we see as loving and greater then us (whomever that may be for us) that we may learn to love and accept others because… we never know what someone else has been through
