To My Progeny (I'm Sorry)

I have Haylee back to talk nutrition. But not before discussing having recently finished the MCAT, Haylee's re-entering into the competition world, the big news of having a baby, and the absolute importance of having the correct mindset when attempting to make health changes.

I and a very good friend I've picked up on my journey towards medicine discuss thoughts as we are about to take the MCAT, a seven hour intensive exam. We discuss our recommended study strategies, remedies to keep strong mental health, and our experiences as the group walking to become a doctor gets smaller and smaller.

After a substantially busy break between podcasts, I update on life as it is currently occurring now with a school mate I've developed a good friendship with. We talk of the effects of a pandemic and a school strike on our pursuit of degrees, medical school, and mental health. Plus a little venting that hopefully leave a good taste afterwards.

Nick returns to talk again and this time Ella joins him. Ella met Nick during the time all three of us served on our church missions. We think back on shared colleagues and experiences, and discuss how Nick and Ella met and forged a relationship that would find strange placement in conditions that often seem difficult to mediate. They share thoughts on mission work culture and navigating internal conflict.

I chat with Noah about his deeper thoughts about life and being a motivated person. We speak about how his life changes have led him to desire deeper conversation and expression of thoughts and feelings (which in turn has led him to want to start a podcast hoping to find such conversation.

I Talk with Haylee again, this time more about her habits in being a competitive weightlifter. We discuss what it takes to do what you're passionate about and how to balance giving the boundary-pushing effort and taking the time to have self-care required for overall maximum long term output.

I finally get a longtime friend on podcast. We talk about our friendship's roots and what made it a good one throughout the years. We discuss serving our mission together and growing around one another despite being overseas away from home. We also touch on how Nick helped me propose to Macie.

In this series, I talk about my two years I spent in the Netherlands as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I walk through my two years through talking with the people I met along the way.

Me and Patrick talk about coming together and truly getting to work. The diversity of people we met in Den Haag, and learning to balance emotional health while setting high goals and expectations.

I talk to one of my longtime (and probably oldest) childhood friend.  We discuss why we've stayed friends for so long, a stressful and deep stage in our friendship which set the course for bigger and better things in both of our lives, and also Haylee's weightlifting career and hopeful goals for the future. (Keep and eye on this girl and watch her succeed).

I'm pretty skeptical about summer sales. I talk with two of my buddies that are currently out selling and knocking door to door. We talk about the appeal and what's within the job description.
