Mind the Sapling: Recent Episodes
Randall Ramos
De-cluttering the brain which involves the occasional antics & casual conversations about growing up - all while partaking in new activities (at least for me) with my whānau and friends.
In this episode, Ferrero Rochelle and I talk in-depth about nones. We also answered some Q&A’s from fellow IG friends.

Rochelle and I discuss about the current social climate, while addressing what's happening and sharing our personal responses. A moment in history that is harder to comprehend for some - we chat about resources, knowing when to participate in online conversations about the matter and ultimately, accepting to listen & learn. Later on in the episode, we also talk about balancing self-care and being workaholics.
