#15 Shereen Kassam : A Way To Get My Voice Back
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!
TIDE #4 : Everybody's Trash, But It's Alright
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!
#14 Andrew James: Focus On One Thing And Stick With It
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.
#13 Francis James : There's No Unreachable Goals, Only Unrealistic Time Frames
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!
#12 Sober: Be Around People That Are Better Than You
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.
#11 Aleise Kay: Building Your Finances Is A Mindset
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.
BONUS #3 : Resolutions or Re-Solutions?
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?
Urbanfux: I Have To Do It Because I Want To
We obviously started by talking about the difference between her online ID Urbanfux and her real name: Jenny. Although these two personas live in the same mind, they are different: Urbanfux is a very outgoing person while Jenny is a lot more shy, for example. Which is why she talked about the way she deals with this aspect of her personality and why it isn't really "bad" in essence. Being a very messy person, and knowing that Jenny is quite the opposite, I also asked her how she manages her time, before "waffling on" and sharing online and real life experiences with others.
Positivity attracts positive people. That is one of the ideas I want to remember from this episode, along Jenny's words: "I have to do it because I want to do it". This quote sort of contradicts what people usually think: "I want to do it because I have to do it", it reminds us that our decisions must be fueled by our dreams, needs and desires... Not the opposite. This is an inspiring and motivating episode in which we dealt with topics like well-being, personal development, The Internet, shyness, streaming... And many others! Hope you will find this podcast interesting!
