A Slice of Life with Brenden: Recent Episodes
Brenden
So by now you figured out that unfortunately for you, life did not come with an instruction manual, a recipe for success or even a reliable Guru that we can ask all our questions to! How is it then that some people seem to already have their life meticulously sorted and planned out while the rest of us are just trying to make it day-to-day. Wandering around in the darkness waiting for that moment when greatness also befalls us. On this show we cannot promise you greatness, nor all the answers you might seek, but we hope to talk openly about life and all its ups and downs. We keep it pure and uncensored. We talk about business and we talk about pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones in order to live a life of meaning and purpose. If this sounds like anything for you, welcome aboard the journey where we explore life and all of its beautiful mysteries together...one slice at a time!
We have all been there at some point. The moment you feel things are spiraling out of control and your work life and personal life has basically become one and the same thing. In this episode I met up with my friend Douglas Gibbs, a lawyer from a top tier law firm to share his own insights on the importance of also finding our own unique rhythm in the process. We discuss the importance of keeping some level of control over our days, provide some tips on how to culture good practices to avoid that your work life overflows into you personal life - as much as something like this can be avoided. So sit back, go make that coffee, take that much needed break and join us as we dive into this phenomenon called the work life balance.
Discipline is often seen as the bridge between our dreams and our reality. It is a fundamental life skill that we need to possess in order to be successful. How is it then that it still remains so difficult to master? In this episode we give some insight on how to actively increase your willpower and create lasting habits that will further strengthen your self-discipline.
In this episode we dive into the fascinating world of fasting!
Fasting has been with humanity since our very beginning, think of our original role as hunters and gatherers, how it was fundamental in almost all major religions and even to this day people still get value from it. In trying to get behind this fascinating concept my good friend Andreas Slabber and I decided to do a fast for three days! Yes that is correct, we did not eat anything for three consecutive days and even made a small vlog to share this journey with you that you can follow in the below Youtube link:

We hope that by listening to this episode it will deepen your understanding of fasting and perhaps even make you curious about trying this amazing concept for yourself!
In a world that has an ever increasing disproportionate level of distribution of wealth, food, access to capital and opportunities, we ask the important question of whether Impact Investing can be used as a successful tool to help bridge these gaps.
We are joined by Mrinal Verma, from Triodos Investment Management to get behind these issues and get an insight into how we can use our investments in a conscious manner for the betterment of ourselves and the world we live in.
Welcome to our official first episode! Initially I thought I would not do an episode about Corona as it can easily be a difficult episode because so many people are experiencing this time differently. Think about those of us that planned a wedding that got cancelled, those of us that lost a job as well as those of us that needed to say goodbye to a loved one. In this episode we acknowledge that all of us are writing a different story in our Corona Chapter. I thought that it just could not accurately be a show about life if we did not talk about the most current event happening in all of our lives. Hope it adds value to you.
Super excited to introduce you to the Slice of Life Show! Our introduction episode, setting the scene for what is to follow and introducing our listeners to the Slice of Life Philosophy! We sincerely believe that this show will add value to your professional and personal development!
