You know, people would always roast me for my music but let me tell you something. I've composed a list of 100 of my favourite songs over the last year and I think it's pretty good. This list is in no particular order and it is my opinion. Enjoy!

The day I recorded (and type) this was a beautiful day. I had incredibly introspective thoughts and perceptions on myself and my purpose... Which is exactly what this episode is about!
PS - Sorry about occasional audio disruption (I'm still learning how to do this whole thing 😆)

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains themes around suicide.

With the New Year kicking in, I had to take the time to remind everybody listening to appreciate the people around you. Always check in on the people close to you and offer an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on. You never know how much it could mean to somebody.

If you EVER feel like you have no one - I urge you to please reach out to me! You are never alone. Reach me on Instagram @yglavad or email me vlad@spottersmagazine.com

I challenge everyone listening to this to invite somebody that you appreciate and care about, for a coffee and just let them know that you care!

Happy New Year everybody! This week I have quite the story to share with you all. I travelled to Gisborne to attend Rhythm & Vines and somehow lost my keys. Fast forward two days and I'm operating under a false identity in Tauranga's New Year's Eve concert.

Somehow, there was still a valuable lesson in this fun story - take your opportunities and say yes. Remember that great things can happen when you take a gamble and try something new.

If you're reading this, just know that you can do whatever you want in this life. No one is in charge of your life but you! Make 2023 that year. I believe in you, now just believe in yourself. You can do it and remember to never give up <3

I asked everybody listening what their goals for 2023 are. For the last episode of 2022 I thought it would be important to reflect together on some of the things that we want to achieve in the new year. What are some ways that you can achieve these goals?

If you're most people, you will wake up in the morning. Do you do the same thing every morning? Getting into a rhythm of healthy habits to start your day is crucial as it sets you up to achieve your goals. This is a bit of a "meme'd" topic, but let's take a deeper look and have A Moment With Morning Routines.

Regret. We all feel it whether it is your dinner choice, business failures or relationships crumbling. Why do we feel regret, what can you learn, and how can you move on from it? Learning to transform regret into a growth tool is an invaluable skill.

Insecurity is something that we all face. Big or small, long-term or short-term, it is always important to look within and work through these internally. Insecurities can prevent you from achieving great things and the success you deserve.

In this episode, I cover three of my biggest insecurities: acne, weight and scarring. Offering advice on how I have dealt with these things and how doing so can provide you with the powerful ability to believe in yourself.
