This week we have yet another solo episode. I am currently in the midst of a 7 day fast. It's the longest I've ever done, and it's been pretty challenging (writing this at day 4.5).In this episode, I share my experience with a seven-day fast, exploring the emotional and physical challenges that arise during this period. I discuss the impact of food on emotions, the difficulties of caffeine withdrawal, and the struggle with nighttime cravings. I reflect on the importance of mindfulness and awareness in managing anxiety, particularly in relation to financial insecurity. I also emphasize the value of reading for motivation and personal growth, and share insights from my journey in trying stand-up comedy. The episode concludes with thoughts on future goals and the significance of overcoming challenges.

This week I'm back with another solo episode. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and any other holiday you may be celebrating.

Today I shared personal reflections on his time at home, the challenges of being a solopreneur, and the importance of timing in work. I discuss the need for meaningful activities in free time and explore the philosophical idea of how we perceive the significance of life's final moments versus the entirety of experiences. The inquiry emphasizes self-awareness, productivity, and the quest for a fulfilling life.

This week's guest is... Me.

I ran a 100 mile race earlier this month. I tried to give my most honest reflection on that entire experience.

In the episode, I detail the physical and mental challenges I faced throughout the race. I discuss the preparation leading up to the event, the struggles during the race, and the recovery process afterward. I try to emphasize the importance and testing of mental strength, presence, and perseverance in overcoming obstacles, both in running and in life.
