"I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up." - Brian.
As humans, we roll with the punches and keep looking for somewhere to roll. Brian has a mind like a sponge, box like there's no tomorrow, and once made beauty products in his own bedroom to sell. He's a lawyer, by the way. In this episode, we'll hear a Spanish intrusion, plus peals of laughter. Join and eavesdrop with us.

"You can't really understand what to expect when you've never experienced something like that before." - Daphne.
Some people can wear many hats and make the most out of them at each opportunity. That's Daphne. In this episode, she is finally ready to recount and share her near-death experience with her loved ones that occurred a few months ago. This conversation made me cry on record (not a hot mess moment, though!), which I must allow myself to do. Join the eavesdropping.

"Since I put down my list, I've kind of really been liking what life's list is looking like, just not knowing." - Tania.
Tania is a modern-day explorer. She toils and braves the demanding world of career soul-searching and ultimately takes the plunge to change from two highly different careers. Her strength to acknowledge sensitivities for everyone around her, balancing it with choosing one's self to value, is an asset I truly admire in this fiery woman. Eavesdrop on our earnest conversation as we explore the synonyms we describe and their connection to each guest, this time with Tania.

"So if I can get over that fear, I can do anything." - Patton.
Patton is the Orlando Bloom of the Philippines, as his Facebook fans acclaimed when Lord of the Rings came out. The best part is that he embraced it all while pursuing different angles in the world of arts and creatives. He's a relentless tech entrepreneur, not trying to fit in, but carving out his definitive place in his world through (geeky) movie lines that envelop his world. Join us and eavesdrop on us catching up with laughter, and more serious topics while we both recall our almost attempt to date in our 20s, and our lives ever since.
I also revealed a very private story about myself. I am ready to share it.

"I was at such a low point in my life that I finally came face to face with my purpose. I was so lost, and I found my way, and I found my own will, not according to anyone else but me." - Lily.
This is the first voice conversation that Lily and I have ever had since our friendship drifted apart a few years. A company that was lost and found in the tides.
Lily is a published writer mainly within the fantasy fiction genre, primarily Filipino culture-focused. At the same time, she teaches her son her mother tongue that she is harnessing to embrace back while living in a multicultural environment in Zurich, Switzerland. She is a former radio DJ, indie & theatre actor, model, spokesperson, and voice-over talent, among other things. Join us as we dive deep into her psyche and realisations moving forward with the most challenging decisions she has to make for herself.
PRODUCER'S NOTE: This episode has a few voice audio glitches halfway - my profound apologies. It's not a hindrance to listening to a hearty conversation, so please give it a chance. Cheers.

He's an old soul with a flair for helpful information that continuously transforms his perspectives in life. Oh, he's also my brother and ward.

I always think of Keiran as my personal James Bond, only wiser.

My guest, Mike Unson, is a Filipino stand-up comedian, writer and translator. He does not have any current active social media, so you may need to track him via different avenues in life.
