Many of us have become accustomed to being proud of our independence and self-sufficiency in the modern world we live in today. Our culture and society depend on independent and responsible individuals required to pull our own weight without asking for help.
However, it is important to ask for assistance, and instead of viewing this as a sign of weakness, we should see it as a chance to develop and learn from others.
Join us this week as Matt and I have a conversation about why relying on others has become so important in our day-to-day lives.

We've all seen videos of people whispering into a camera. The person doesn't do anything particularly interesting. Whispers in a melodic voice and makes seemingly random hand movements. Yet everyone knows what is. In the world of ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response), dozens of video makers record themselves doing something as simple as whispering to elaborate sci-fi role plays, having conversations to themselves, or even developing fictional storylines, and millions of viewers gobble it all up.

Fitness is a topic that has so many angles to it that sometimes it's hard to know what is even right or wrong. There have been so many methods debated over the years and the conversation is still ongoing. Now, I'm the last person to be giving any advice on being fit, however, I've got some friends who are experienced enough, so I thought it would be great to get their opinions on the topic, along with some misconceptions that people may have about fitness and so called "fitness products".
If you're into fitness then I'm sure you'll enjoy this 2 part conversation whether you agree or even have a different opinion about it.

This is a bonus episode that was recorded a while back but we thought you may enjoy it. We had Samantha back on the show, but this time along with Jazmine (Yes, you guessed it - another BTS fan). They share a story about their initiative to help other BTS fans, and we find out more about their craze and how it may not be as unreasonable as we think it is... just maybe.

You surely know the name, but do you know what it stands for? Don't worry, neither did I. In this episode, I took some time to talk to Samantha, an avid BTS fan, about why they are so sold out to this group and what about them is so appealing. She talks us through the reasons for her passion as well as the interesting ways that BTS keeps their "ARMY" involved in their journey. Although I'm not a fan of the group and may never be, it's safe to say that BTS is doing fine without me.

Business can sometimes become a sensitive thing. We don't quite like people telling us how to do things and so we keep them at a distance. Sometimes, we wait till everything is falling apart before we actually reach out for help. I think we underestimate the power of having a mentor that can speak business terms yet still have the best for you in mind. Priceless!

The pandemic has affected so many weddings and all the planning leading up to them. Many have been called off, delayed or just completely stripped down to a bare minimum. Today, we're talking to Catherine about how she has been planning her big day during all of this. Are things going as planned or were there many changes needed to be made? Whichever it is, we know that difficult times bring out the creativity in people to think outside the norm. Hope this episode is helpful or just a fun conversation to listen to.
Communication is something we're all so familiar with in this era, yet the way we communicate has taken a much lesser importance. Today, we're talking to Daniel Isaac about how he and his wife, Jessie, have made conscious steps to keep conversations in their marriage from going off the edge by understanding each other's ways of communicating. Something that sounds so simple but is absolutely necessary.

Tomorrow, we say a final goodbye to my grandmother who left this earth last Thursday. I decided to get my brother, Benjamin Rajendram, with me today to give her a tribute.⠀
We took some time to remember all she was to us and how she had been one of the biggest (if not the biggest) support in our lives. ⠀
She was truly one of a kind and we’ll miss her for a lifetime. But for now, here’s our tribute.
Part 2 of the 2 part episode.
The Malaysian music scene might not have reached a level that we're used to seeing on a global scale, but it's definitely one of the hardest to succeed in. Not so much because of the competition, but more so because it seems to not be as lucrative a job as many would like it to be, but that's just our opinion. Today, we're talking to Dominic Seow on how he, along with his bandmates, have been working to push their creativity forward and hopefully establish themselves in the market.

A completely impromptu conversation with Jon and I looking back at 2020 and talking about how it had been a significant year for him. We then had a discussion on how it had also been a very trying time for relationships, whether in dating or marriage, and how 2020 had similar outcomes on both of them but for opposite reasons.
