Waves Podcast

How to start comedy, making jokes as an introvert and the difference  between doing stand-up and stripping... These are a few questions Shereen  Kassam answers in this episode. She tells us about her creative  journey, her childhood, and why she went from a corporate career to  comedy. An inspiring and motivating story that helps us understand how  she got to where she is, and also proves one thing: It's never too late  to start being creative. Shereen also tells us about her amazing podcast  Creative Breakthrough, one of my favorite in the game, before focusing  on the future and what's next for her! 

This week's episode of Waves Podcast is a bonus one! No guests, just me  talking about something I find interesting, important... And as we get  closer to Valentine's Day, I thought we should talk about something  related to it. So this one's about love, self-love and single life, and  although the title may seem negative at first, it really isn't. It's a  funny reference to a book by someone I respect but... I said that on  podcast already. I basically tried to explain the sentence "blabla are  trash", said by women, then men and showed that everybody's just as  "trash"... Plus what is "trash" even? Who decides what's trash  behaviour? Isn't the problem a simple lack of communication? Spoiler  alert: It might. And it could very well be solved by feminism, a better  freedom of expression, and introspection that enables us to really think  about what kind of relationship we want. Yes, I talked about all that  in barely 30 minutes and ended up on the subject of confidence, what it  is, how attractive it is to most people, and how it could help you find  the one... Maybe? Who knows! 

Youtuber Andrew James tells us about his journey as an artist, from his  first video at 13 years old, to reaching 110,000 subscribers at only 17!  He talks about creativity, motivation, starting making tutorials and  seeing his channel blow up... Before getting into more personal and  "serious" topics like bullying, finding his voice through filmmaking and  what he thinks is the key to succeed on YouTube. 

In this episode of Waves Podcast, Francis James, actor and lead singer  of Suspicious Minds, tells us about his journey, his band and opens up  on various other topics. From his passion for music, to the link between  relationship, mental wellness and success, we dealt with all the usual  self improvement and personal growth topics without even noticing.  Francis also explained us the two main aspects of being an artist: being  in touch with your emotions, and being confident in your ability to  succeed. This is a very inspiring interview for artists as well as  non-creatives! Peace of mind and emotion function the exact same way  whether you are using them "at work" by creating music... Or not. So you  mind find this interesting and helpful either way! Francis also  highlighted the importance of realizing that dreams are good, but  they're not all. You also need to set goals in order to reach them! So  be my guest, please have a listen! 

Through his personal experience, anecdotes and life stories, Sober takes us on the journey that made him the artist he is now. From his passion for travels, to relationships, and obviously his love for music, the young rapper shares his thoughts on life and on what being an artist means to him. Honesty and vulnerability are the keys of this incredibly inspiring, motivating and soothing episode of Waves Podcast. A source of knowledge on well-being, life balance and peace of mind for aspiring rappers, artists, and really any human being. 

This week's episode of Waves Podcast is DENSE. It is super interesting  and is 99% of new knowledge - the remaining 1% is the time I was  talking. Aleise Kay is a coach in finance and well-being and she  explained us how these two elements are linked. We tend to assume that  being good at finances is just about saving up but things are different  to her. You need to know who you are, what you want, learn, be open, and  much more to become financially responsible. Funnily enough, I thought  this episode would be different from the others. More technical, less  spiritual... Well it wasn't. Turns out if you want to manage your money  well, you need to manage yourself well. Be at peace and feel good. Then  you can invest. 

 The beginning of the year is the time people start taking resolutions to  improve their lives... But is it really the best moment for you to try  and get your life together? In this episode of Waves Podcast, I shared  my view on this topic and the reason why I don't really care for such  resolutions. To me, it is a lot easier to undertake such changes during  Spring or Summer, as it highly increases my chances to make these  resolutions last longer. Otherwise, they'll turn into "re-solutions"  that I will take again in 2020... And in 2021. But obviously, it depends  on your personal taste. If you love winter, go for it! Take as many  resolutions as you can, but for me, I know I should wait a little and  avoid social media in the meantime... Because these tend to pressure you  and make you feel bad if you don't buy in this resolution thing.  #newyearnewme , right?
