Is Love Irrational?
On today's episode, I take a slightly different approach from my previous episodes to conceptualize love in as concrete of terms as possible, then break down the rationality of it from a rational or creative perspective.
Does my definition of love align with your understanding of it, or did I totally miss the mark?

"How do you Capitalize on your Skills?"
On today's episode, I answer the following question submitted by an audience member:
"I get extremely dissatisfied and bored with most jobs, even the mentally taxing ones, and they stop challenging me and become a routine. You seem like the kind of guy who can make his own hours and make his own money, and at the end of the day that's all I've ever wanted but I apparently struggle at where to start. Do you have any tips or mind sharing your personal struggle and now how you capitalize on your smarts and skills in this world?
It'd be much appreciated. If any one lifestyle sounds and seems amazing it's yours. You're not always out getting drunk or doing drugs or if you do, you don't blast it on social media, of course. But the fact that you're always surrounded by great people, smiles, success and travels is all this man could ever want. I'd very much appreciate your thoroughness and input. I know it's sometimes as easy as finding the passion and the subject to succeed in."

The Rapid Growth of the Scooter Commuter (with Pedeo Guedes)
On today's episode, I talk about the increasing integration of scooters in our communities with Frog's Director of Global Operations, Pedro Guedes.
Micromobility has become a vital component of transportation l for a number of covert reasons:
It's a far more efficient way to travel a short distance, and short distance is a significant amount of travel relative to travel in general.
escooters and ebikes are much much cheaper to produce over cars and buses. They're also much more eco-friendly and due to a smaller size, make better use of spaces for parking and storing away.

The BEST way to Make Gigantic, Life-changing Decisions
How often do you find yourself committing to something so far in the future that you somehow give your future self too much credit into thinking you will actually do that thing?

What IS Creativity?
Creative ideas emerge in many situations, careers, hobbies, and works. But what exactly is creativity?
If you’re a fine artist, writer, musician, photographer, or designer, you’ve likely been called ‘creative’ at some point in your life. Maybe you’ve figured out a new idea to a problem at your small business that you thought was creative. Maybe you’ve been in a class, interpreted a piece of work in a valuable way, or offered a unique perspective on an idea.
The word "creativity" can be used very vaguely, so on this episode, I wanted to define exactly what it means and why you should care (a lot).
