In this episode, I reflect on the trap of chasing external validation — how fleeting it is, how deeply it shapes our choices, and how reframing it through one powerful question changed my perspective.

I share a personal journey toward internal fulfillment and encourage you to ask: What would you regret most if you didn’t act on it?

Have you ever sat by yourself and done nothing? It’s so easy to be consumed by the external world of deadlines, relationships, and media while forgetting to check in with yourself and actually seeing how you’re REALLY doing.

Meditation or mindfulness is a tool that helps you with that. People tend to think of meditation as a way to be calm. That’s one aspect of it but the greater part of this process is witnessed through the changes you go through as a person.

Today’s episode feature Joey, a professional boxer who credits meditation for changing his life. We discuss silent 10 day retreats, the benefits of meditation, and finding balance between meditation and his professional boxing career.

In our daily routines, we find ourselves immersed in countless trials and challenges, each one seemingly blending into the next. Amidst this constant whirlwind, it's all too easy to push aside or delay contemplating life's ultimate purpose. The question itself can be daunting, yet embracing it has the potential to unveil profound insights and recalibrate our priorities in unexpectedly enriching ways.

In this episode, I chat with Sim who I met at UCLA. We talk about how a simple question of life’s purpose ignited his curiosity to search for the supreme truth. This led him down a path of spirituality and religion, resulting in significant personal and mindset changes that would impact the rest of his life.

The pandemic was a challenging transition that caused many to reassess their priorities in our fleeting lives. A few years vanished instantly, and that time is irreplaceable. We simply aged and moved forward. Aging comes with its own challenges, including personal change and witnessing friends take on life's responsibilities. As we grow older, we gain a better understanding of society and strive to contribute positively to leave the world a better place.

In this episode, I chat with my friend Naish who I’ve known from middle school. We chat about how the pandemic shifted his perspective on spending time with friends, the complexities of navigating life as we grow older, and the contentious issue of whether stakeholder capitalism is truly beneficial for society.
