In this episode, my good friend Jonathyn joined me to discuss how he stayed busy during his spring semester at George Mason University and how he was able to manage it. He discussed his workload, his humility as he handled pressure, and the respect he has for fellow hardworking individuals. With a twisted ankle, he faced challenges with movement and the fear of being left behind and how that affected him both physically and mentally.
Comparing yourself to others can be dangerous when not handled properly, so we discussed how seeing your close friends "succeeding" can provide a positive impact in your life when they support you! Be sure to turn on notifications so you never miss a new episode!

In this episode, my mom and I discuss how to maintain a relationship, manage stress, commit to being the best YOU, time management, how to better yourself further than you were yesterday, and more!
My mom has been an educator for at least 25 years and a school administrator for 5 of those years. With experience working with kids and involving herself in the school environment, she has learned a lot when it comes to communicating with younger people and reaching different mindsets. She is definitely one of the many people who has inspired me to become a man of character and purpose, and I'm glad I could share her wisdom with you all!

Together we talked about her inspiration behind the lyrics and how important music/artists are when it comes to developing a safe and therapeutic environment for their listeners, her academic adventure and how she chooses to pursue education, being self-aware as you navigate through your every day life, and becoming more open-minded regarding differences in ideals, values, beliefs, ect.
