Mind Diary: Recent Episodes
Andy Xiao
The name Mind Diary came from my desire to express the conceptual ideas that are constantly flowing in my head. I am unsure if any of these ideas and thoughts could impact anyone, but if by doing this I can help change the life of one person in a million, then I have outdone myself. I have always had a passion for communicating and trying to inspire those who are willing to listen, this podcast would provide me the autonomy to do all those things in a space that’s filtered to people who would be willing to listen try to get something out of it. I realize that most of us have a long-enduring commute to work every day regardless of the country or city. Music is a beautiful supplement blessed to exist in our society, but it does get repetitive with the consistent commutes of hours daily. However, the beauty of speech is that I would personally never get bored of is communicating with others because it’s an activity that’s filled with uncertainty, conversations most times unlike many things, have no restriction on the mind and creativity, we can express anything that flows into our head. My aim for this podcast isn’t to change the world or try to interview the best professionals of the world and try to get inside their head and replicate their values, mentality, schedules, and habits. I have listened to many of those podcasts, don’t get me wrong, I think those are very educational and full of takeaways. But in reality, there are only a select few that can really do what Elon musk do, what bill gates does, it’s a style not meant for everyone, and just because you were able to mimic it somehow, it doesn’t necessarily mean this is the most effective method for yourself, in terms of productivity and also your mental and physical health. Everyone is different, that’s what makes this society so interesting because there are so many different mindsets, ideas, and personalities. I want to find those exciting, exotic yet authentic insights with everyday people and dive into creative discussions.
