What would it look like to live in a world where we all believed our purpose was to make others feel safe with us?
Today I want to introduce you to Jules, Jules might be one of the sweetest humans you will ever meet, not just because of how she will genuinely hold space for anyone around her, but because of how she so authentically shows up and allows others to not just know her but feel freedom to be who they are around her as well
Jules is one that I admire and love dearly, she is a lover of coffee, and passionate force for friendship. She is a loved and cherished human that loves and cherishes humans.
We talk about the kind of person who stops to hug their friends during a marathon, how it’s such a metaphor for life and appreciating connection, how community and holding space for others is of utmost importance, and how she never wants to miss out on her “Saturday’s”
She shares what it’s like holding herself to an often harsh standard, how the pressure of letting those who love her down can feel heavy, but how the reality that she has accomplished and pursued one big dream after another is something she is so proud of
We chat about how it is never too late to pursue a dream and in her beautiful words how “dreams aren’t just for kids,” is a truth we all need to remember to believe. We talk about the impact of being in a partnership, how that person can be a place of home and peace, and how it should never take away from who you are.
So tune in today and meet Jules, someone who will change how you view the pauses you take along your journey in the best way, someone who will make you believe you can: be wanted, be worthy, be real, be kind to yourself, and be a beautiful friend
And to you Jules thank you, thank you for letting me make you cry a little, for letting me learn a lot from you, for being a woman I and so many others can see grace and love so prominently displayed in how you choose to live. You are a sweet gem and I’m so grateful to know you and feel the way you love others so fully

He shares a pivotal time in his life where his entire future was ready fixed on a life he never saw coming, and how in one text, it all changed.
We talk about what it means to be seen, wanted, and welcome, and how each of us matter so much more and make so much more of an impact than we often realize. About how privilege and segregation are neither far enough in history or something we often handle in the best way, and what it would look like if we used what we have been given to better those around us.
He shares how having a plan that may never happen saved his life, how we hope to move to Atlantis one day, and how much he loves what he gets to do for work now.
Trey is the kind of human that will positively change the way you look at not just others, but yourself. He is one that will remind you to be kind to yourself as you find your next steps forward, but to know that you should never be afraid to ask for what you want or need
So tune in today and meet Trey, someone who will allow you to believe for the first time, or be reminded that you can do so much more and make so much more of an impact than you can imagine
And to you Trey thank you, thank you for taking the time, for being someone I can call a friend, for the way you so humbly and boldly speak of humanity, both your own and collectively, the way you have and continue to show up in this world. It is people like you that strengthen my faith in humanity

What if you never stopped discovering, learning, or pursuing life with curiosity?
Today I want to introduce you to Matt, Matt is one of those people that the more you get to know you realize just how much they know. There is something about humility that allows others to learn in a way that develops joy for what we are learning.
Matt is one of those people, one that I get to learn from when it comes to jiu jitsu, one that approaches everyone around him with a gentle humility, desire to know more of who they are, and finds genuine joy in sharing what he knows
We chat about everything from drunken noodles to deep life changing loss, from the peace in jiu jitsu to anxiety, and what it means to view the world with curiosity and a strong desire for polarity to be less a part of our world
He shares why he wishes more foreigners would talk to us individually here in America and how he believes, and I know him to be among those of us here who deeply value knowing others and learning from what isn’t like us
So tune in today and meet Matt, one that is effectively changing the world by showing up for his students, his friends, family, and fiancé with love, sincerity, and a genuine curiosity for what makes each one who they are
And to you Matt thank you, thank you for not only taking the time, but for allowing me the honor of sharing more of who you are with others, for the joy that is found in learning from you on and off the mats, and for the way you share genuinely and humbly of who you are continuing to be in this world. It is an honor to call you a friend

I’m not sure where you are tuning in from today but if you live here in the states or not, it’s no secret that another election is again approaching
I’d like to say I feel excited for the freedom to take part in using my voice to impact not just where I live, but the reality that it has impact on so many other parts of the world as well….
But I’m not…
And here’s why in today’s episode

If you could make someone smile would you? Would you take the time to brighten someones day simply because you could?
Today I want to introduce you to Adam, I met Adam briefly back in May when I was in Portugal for the first time and I was instantly sure of two things; that we become friends and that I would come back and get to know him more. Well thankfully both were true, coming back to Algarve and getting to see more of what he does here, having him quite literally, show me the ropes of kite surfing, and in what was possibly my favorite times, driving around location scouting and getting to chat in the car
There is something to be said for those that don’t make another feel as though they need to “measure up,” you know the kind of person you feel ok to be yourself around, ok to not know the answer to something, and ok to be silly without worrying if you will be seen as less. Adam is such a person.
We chat about what it means to be an open minded person; towards people, towards opportunities, and towards life. We talk about what it means to not worry about the opinions of others, not fearing those opinions or letting them hold us back, and why being honest is worth the work
He shares change is something he’s looking forward to, to growth, to being uncomfortable in what he’s learning and how he is growing, and who he might become as he gets older, be it a version of Johnny Knoxville or maybe something more reserved. He shares why he values growing up in a time when they still “fixed something” if it was broken and how maybe simply listening to each other more might allow us in some ways to get back to that.
Adam is one that sincerely cares, one who will offer what he can to help another, and one who is honestly, someone you could laugh with, have deep conversation with, or sit in silence with and feel as though it was time well spent. He is one who speaks of himself with honesty and one that creates a space of ease for others to do the same.
So tune in today and meet Adam, a human worth listening to, one worth learning from and being reminded by simply hearing his own story, how the importance of taking the right things serious and not taking other things too serious might allow us to see someone else with an open mind
And to you Adam thank you, thank you for sharing time, your talent, your open heart, and your sense of humor with me. I’m truly grateful to have had these days with you and for the chance to get to know the genuine and kind human that you are even more.

Has something painful ever caused you to avoid anything that could cause that pain agin?
Today I want to introduce you to Pierre, there are some people you meet that you quickly find common ground with, people that feel genuine and that in some way see the world as you do
Pierre is one that if you ever have the chance to meet you will find him to be someone that will feel like the warmth and softness of being back with an old friend, someone that has an ease about them as if they know what it is to experience life in all its joys and sorrows, and someone who so intentionally finds joy and shares the love he has with those around him
We chat about what it’s like living for 9 months with 27 different nationalities, ages, and backgrounds all in one place, how he gets to enjoy the joy of days surfing with friends, and the importance of expressing ones heart
He shares how lockdown changed his life, how a breakup and the change it led to in what he thought would be his life, left him looking forward in a new way, and how peace in the world feels not fully possible when parts of humanity are suffering
We chat about how life can change and how we have a choice in if we move forward in fear or choose to find a path forward allowing that fear to heal and giving ourselves space to see what comes next
Pierre is one I admire a lot for many reasons, but one that stands out to me the most is the way he so sincerely has kept his heart in a way that allows love for others and care for himself to be given and received.
So tune in today and meet Pierre, a man that will remind you that life is something we should seek joy in, that people are meant to be listened to with care, that it’s ok and important to allow yourself to move towards purpose as it evolves, and that there is always the ability to value and respect another
And to you Pierre thank you, thank you for being the most flexible person I have ever interviewed, for taking the time three different times to share so much of who you are with me and allow me the chance to know you more. You are a truly wonderful soul and I am honored I get to call you a friend.

What if making someone laugh was a way to show love?
Today I want to introduce you to Brandon, Brandon is one of those people that will probably make you laugh, but what I learned after spending two weeks working alongside and traveling through Iceland with him is that, there’s a lot behind that desire to put a smile on someone’s face
We chat about what it means to face fear, to stare it in the face and yell out to it, how life changed for him after those moments, and how experiencing those moments for the first time allowed him to see himself
He shares what it means to him to be a strong hearted and creative human, why he values honesty and loyalty above all else, and what it means when the effort he puts in for others is reciprocated with integrity
We chat about what it would mean to him to travel with his parents and not living in yesterday is something he chooses to be reminded of daily
Brandon is one of those people that will do what he can to create a space for others to grow, get along, and ultimately I believe has a heart to bring joy to another; be it by listening, making them laugh, or doing what he can to show up for a friend
So tune in today and meet Brandon, someone I think so many of us can feel seen in, be reminded to keep going, and ultimately see a bit of ourselves in
And to you Brandon thank you, thank you for being you, becoming a friend, for your countless help and talent in working alongside you during this project, for your sincerity and sub par driving (jk). I really am so glad I get to know you and looking forward to next time

What would someone say about you after only knowing you for 5 minutes?
Today I want to introduce you to Bjarni, I’m here in Iceland and many of the places we have stayed have been small fishing villages, but our stop in Dalvik was different.
From the moment I met Bjarni I knew he was one I wanted to sit down with and learn more about; from the way he was so quick to treat us all like friends, share a coffee, and his towns history with us, I’m so honored to be able to share more of this truly lovely human with you all
We chat about what it’s like living in and doing what he can alongside his wife to preserve the history and culture of his hometown, how he looks forward and is aspiring to become a full time grandfather, and the fear of outliving another of his children.
He shares why he believes the way we view difficulties in life is a choice, how some heartbreaking and trying moments have impacted that view, and the reality of what real problems are in the world
We chat about the impact of war and climate change, and how when something is detached from our personal experience we can often struggle to empathize or take action towards righting such wrongs
Bjarni is one that offers a gentle and yet confident reminder that life is a gift, that sharing space and time with others in this life is of immense value, and that we always have something to give to another
So tune in today and meet Bjarni a man that will walk around in shorts and a t shirt when everyone else is in a winter coat, and I think that is not unlike his heart; that maybe when so many of us are closed, needing more, or afraid to let the world see us, Bjarni is filled with the joy of what each day has and is giving him, he is one that will sit with you, share what he knows, and in what I found to be the most precious of all, allows others to know him and feel welcomed around him
And to you Bjarni thank you, thank you for your hospitality, for the ease in which you show up in the world, for the time you shared in allowing me to hear your story. You are a man filled with integrity, one that is easy to trust and one that is deserving of such trust. I’m so grateful our travels brought us to Dalvik and for the joy in sharing a cup of coffee with you.

Today I want to introduce you to Caoilfhionn, Caoilfhionn is one of those people that you meet and instantly makes you feel as though just being around her will somehow make you more joyful and confident yourself. She is one that I’ve known to have an infectious character, the kind that lifts the standard, and honestly, the entire vibe of whoever is around her.
I had the pleasure of meeting this gem a human a few years ago, and every time I see her it only reinforces what I know to be true; she is passionate, caring, so so much fun to be around, and above all, I’ve seen her make myself and others feel seen.
We chat about what life is like for her as one often able to make others laugh, how at the same time she is stepping more and more into letting those close to her know her more, and what it means to hold space for our parents and the reality that they are allowed to be human too.
She shares why “saying yes and figuring it out after” has been something that has served her well in her business, and why taking time for herself and holding space for what, “sets her a light” has been something she is pressing into more
We chat about what it looks like to let go of pleasing others, what it feels like to have your mind in more than one place at a time, and what it means to “pebble” love in the lives of those close to you
Caoilfhionn is one that has lived through dark times, she is one that brings an undeniable light with her wherever she goes, and she is one that I admire and hold in the highest regard
So tune in today and meet Caoilfhionn, someone that I am confident you will learn from, see parts of your own journey in, and be reminded that being human is so ok but doesn’t for a minute mean you can’t accomplish every last one of your dreams
And to you Caoilfhionn thank you, thank you for taking the time to share such an intentional chat, for sharing your heart, your light, and your love with me. Thank you for the way you have confidently stepped into every space I’ve seen you in and how in doing so you remind me to do the same. You are a walking, living, breathing work of art, and the world is lucky to see and be impacted by your heart as it is displayed in your work ,wherever and however you continue to share it.

We chat about what life and his projects look like, from DJ’ing events, to the impact his watch brand is having on children in Africa
He shares how he used to struggle with acceptance and wanting to fit in, but now being able to let his best qualities out, without needing any of them to stand on their own, define, or externally validate who he is
We chat about not just what his Ted talk “would be” but what it actually was about and how finding purpose in the pain we experience may be a way we can change the world
William is not just one that I could talk to, laugh with, or dance to his music for hours, but he is one that I have seen first hand the way he is present with those around him, how he will show up and make the effort to show love, and one that I really am honored to call a friend

Have you ever heard that “the measure of someone’s character is how they treat those who have nothing to offer them” well what would it look like to be that person? Have you ever experienced being treated poorly or with greater esteem because someone wanted something from you or because you didn’t have anything to offer them?
Today I want to introduce you to Ali, I have known Ali for 4 years now and from the first time I wandered into his shop until now I have not only experienced this but also witnessed how he genuinely treats every person that comes through his door with the same value.
In his own words, “my goal is that people would go out of my shop with happiness
I simply wonder what a world would look like if we all approached each day, “wishing people left time with us happier?”
This is a conversation I know has impacted me and one I’m excited and honored to share with you all
Ali shares with me why he is someone who loves humans, why he has taken the time to learn different languages to connect better with others, and why being a good father and a good husband is what he is most proud of
We chat about his soccer teams recent win, how Turks are not Arabs, what it would be like to live in a world without war, and how the most difficult thing he’s done is something I am sure I will never accomplish
He shares how his time living in the United States changed him and the way he does business, why he doesn’t negotiate but instead deeply values running his shop with integrity and genuine connection
I have been back to Cappadocia 5 times now and visiting Ali, sitting over a tea or a beer, hearing how life is, is one of the things that makes this place so special
Ali is one that will greet you with a smile, one that shares practically what it looks like in his life to show others they hold value, and one that I know is worth learning more about
So tune in today and meet Ali, and I hope if it inspires you to visit Cappadocia, make sure you go tell him I say hi
And to you Ali thank you, thank you for sharing your time over the years, for the honor of getting to call you a friend, for the way you have cared for everyone I have brought into your shop, for the genuine and warmth that you have always welcomed me with, and your sparkling personality.

Today I want to introduce you to Angela, I met Angela at JFK and from the way she interacted with her son, me, and everyone else’s around, I knew she was someone I wanted to get to know. So a few weeks later we met up in Brooklyn and had one of my favorite chats
We talked about everything from what it means to be there for your friends and chosen family, to what food is getting served at her funeral and why
She shares why the thing that brings her joy is also what her husband fears might kill her someday, how the pandemic made her re evaluate her life and the realness of the brevity of life overall, and her hope that she doesn’t raise a bad kid
She shares how in her culture “yelling and nagging” come from a place of love and care, how she wishes for change when it comes to our political situation here in the states, and why as an ER Doctor it matters to talk about what you want the end of your life to look like
Angela shared with me how she believes everyone is just a friend waiting to be met, and I couldn’t agree more or be more grateful that she became just that
Angela is one that reminds you instantly to smile, that she sincerely cares to help in any way she can, and that she isn’t afraid ti be human in all that it entails
So tune in today and meet this amazing human, someone who sees people so often on their worst days and yet holds firmly that people are good

Have you ever been reduced to a label someone else gave you?
Today I want to introduce you to Michael, Michael and I met back in December by the pool in Tahiti, I was ending a trip and he was just beginning what would be a 6 month adventure he had planned a couple years for. We chatted briefly and stayed in touch, I got to see his adventures and as he made his way back to New York we met up again and had a chat
He shared how his experience traveling changed him, for the time traveling with someone and the time traveling alone, how laughter and contentment aren’t always the same but how he witnessed and took part in them as he went from place to place
He shared in one of the most honest and sincere ways the difference between how he feels about joy and yet what he wants more of in his life, how relationships and people are at the core of what it all comes back to, and how taking positive feedback is a thing we can learn to be ok with
We chat about one of the scariest moments on his trip as he fell sick in the worlds largest cave and how day three in the cave and making his way out became such a valuable lesson, I think for all of us in tough times
Michael is one of those people that you meet and you feel as though when he asks how your day is, he means it, like when he smiles at you it is genuine, and like when you get to spend time with him he values you.
I believe people like Michael are the ones we need to make sure we all have in our lives, the kind that plan, but don’t, in his words “defer their dreams” the kind that do big things but aren’t afraid of making small impactful changes in the world, and the kind that truly do make humanity better
So tune in today and meet Michael, a human that will remind you to accept a compliment, to let your dreams evolve, to be you, and to be there for those you love
And to you Michael thank you, thank you for saying hello back in December, thank you for sharing your adventures, your journey, and your time with me, and thank you most of all for being someone who values connection and was willing to make a new friend

What if you weren’t what people expected you to be?
Today I want to introduce you to Daniel, Daniel is someone that at first glance you notice a tall strong man, maybe one that you can’t read right away, maybe you even have an idea of what he is like…
I want to invite you to listen to this, to listen to Daniel as he shares life and how it has impacted him
Speaking to Daniel gave me in so many ways, permission to slow down, to be present myself, to not rush through something but to listen in whatever time passed
Daniel is one of the most genuine and gentle souls I’ve ever met, someone that sees intentionally and values deeply not just human life as a whole; but in what you will hear, human life in a single soul
There are people I meet from time to time that remind me to simply be in a single moment, not just to “not worry and focus on the present” but to truly, in that conversation, be fully present
We chat about his journey as he is biking across Italy, about working in healthcare with a post war generation, about what is said at the end of life and what is not
He shares why saying goodbye well, and giving a heartfelt thank you can be the difference of valuing someone, seeing someone, and giving them peace as life comes to an end
Daniel has this presence about him, not overbearing, not timid, but present; and in a way I am truly grateful for, he gave me space to do the same
So tune in today and meet Daniel, hear what has excited him, and even what chased him while on his bike in Tuscany, learn what life has taught him, and if you will, allow it to impact you as it has for me
And to you Daniel thank you, thank you for seeing me and valuing this conversation, for the heart in which you are so intentionally impacting humanity, for your sincerity and trust in allowing me to share a part of you with others in this conversation. You are a beautiful human and it is an honor to know you

Today I want to introduce you to Liliana, Liliana is this beautiful free spirited human, one that defines well with her actions what it is to respect another and be willing to ask or give space for the why behind who someone is
Liliana and I got to spend some time together in Palermo, and in addition to those times being filled with laughter and good wine, they were also times where deep conversation about life took place. I had the chance to hear about who this human is and how she so sincerely cares for life and those she gets to know
We chat about what it means to be simple decent and “normal,” what it is to speak well of others when they aren’t around, the impact of someone caring without expectation or control, and a desire to experience life not simply watch it
She shares what it feels like to know her strength as a woman while simultaneously giving space for the way situations can feel uncomfortable, she shares how being grounded in what you want doesn’t eliminate FOMO but it does make trusting your decisions easier, and why it’s important to be caring but also to care for yourself
Lily is one of those humans that you meet and you know you are going to miss when you have to say goodbye, she is one that holds love and respect, one that will care but not get caught up in what doesn’t hold weight, and one that I am so happy to call a friend
So tune in today and meet Liliana, a compassionate, caring, cute, and absolutely incredible human being
And to you Lily thank you, thank you for being you, for the late night walks and talks, for the joy so genuinely share, for the light that radiates from you that you so sweetly give, and for the time to be in your presence. You are a gift to this world and I am so grateful I get to know you and call you a friend.

What do you think would make the world a better place?
Today I want to introduce you to Claudio, Claudio and I met in Palermo and I was instantly aware of his cheerful spirit and kind heart
Claudio like my guest last week was also managing the space at Ostello Bello and graciously carved out some time to let me share a bit of his easy going, kind, and positive heart with you
We chat about why travel is important but how it doesn’t always mean getting on a plane, how seeking out new ways to see where you are can impact us, and how the belief that people are good impacts how we see life as a whole
He shares the value of being a person others can trust and be heard by, why he is proud most of his relationship with his wife and the value they place on individuality, and why slowing down and giving your morning coffee the time it deserves can change the way you go about your day
Claudio is one that walks as though something is lifting him, maybe it’s the smile he shares always with others, maybe it’s the way he handles with care and sees the person in any situation, or maybe it’s the peace in being close to the sea; or maybe it’s just who he is
So tune in today and meet Claudio, someone who reminds you to focus on the little things, that kindness really can save the world, that being content with what life has given you is not a bad thing, and most of all to enjoy the process not just the end result
And to you Claudio thank you, thank you for being such a warm soul, for your ability to share life and who you are in such a genuine way, for taking the time to have a chat with me, and for the chance to know more of who you are. I look forward to seeing you again soon

She shares why she believes what matters most is the impact we have on someone else and how we make them feel, why time to explore and be with people matters so much, and the joy she feels in seeing people come together through her work in hotels
We chat about driving in Sicily, about some deep similarities her and I share in observation and the way we express ourselves, and the importance and peace in having a certain type of thing planned

And to you Maura thank you, thank you for the warmth in which you greeted me each day, for the time you gave me in having this conversation, for your open and sweet heart, and for the way you allowed me to see parts of myself in a new way. You are a gem sweet girl and I’m so glad I got to meet you
