Breakfast With a Friend is an one-on-one conversation series under Shepherd (https://www.youtube.com/@shepherd_06). It’s not an interview, a debate or a productivity podcast. It’s two people sitting down (virtually or physically) and letting one simple idea open the door. The core idea has always been: People from different cultures, countries, and backgrounds talking honestly and discovering that underneath the differences, the emotional experiences are often the same. It's not trying to extract expertise nor is it to "win" the conversation! We're trying to meet the human behind the identity If this kept you company, you can leave a coffee here No pressure, this channel exists either way. https://buymeacoffee.com/shepherd_06

    How Pain Becomes Something Beautiful w/‪@MistOfNiagara‬

    In this episode, I sat down with Shamila (‪@MistOfNiagara‬ ) and we went somewhere I wasn't sure we'd come back from easily. We talked about grief. Not the motivational, "it made me stronger" version of it. The real kind... the layers, the hits, the mornings you wake up and suddenly understand something painful that your body wasn't ready to let you see before. Shamila has this way of seeing the inside of human experience in extraordinary detail. She talked about how grief doesn't arrive all at once. It opens layer by layer, at the pace your body decides you can handle. How blame, if you're patient with it, can slowly become curiosity. How suffering doesn't create a new version of you. It just illuminates the room that was always there, dark and full of things you never knew you had. — If this kept you company, there’s a quiet coffee link here ☕ https://buymeacoffee.com/shepherd_06 —

    Building in the Dark: Persistence, Doubt, and Entrepreneurship

    In this episode of Breakfast with a Friend, I sit down with Darko Sokoleski, CEO & Founder of TGEProductionDigital (‪@TGEProduction‬) from North Macedonia. We dive deep into the emotional and practical challenges of entrepreneurship, creativity, and the relentless hustle of building something meaningful in a small ecosystem. Darko shares his 11-year journey of persistence, doubt, and the grit it takes to carve your own path.... especially when the odds feel stacked against you. From the loneliness of the grind to the humor and humanity that keep us going, this conversation is about the unseen side of building a dream.

    Nobody Actually Knows What They're Doing w/ ‪@OurSecretSpillPodcast‬

    In this episode of Breakfast with a Friend, I chat with Annie from ‪@OurSecretSpillPodcast‬ about the messy, unpredictable journey of adulthood. We share honest reflections on what we thought growing up would be—money, freedom, clarity—and the reality we’re living instead. From grappling with shifting interests to the addictive loops of gaming and social media, we dive into the nostalgia, frustrations, and small wins of adult life. Annie and I explore how our childhood passions evolve, the psychology of gaming, and the struggle to find balance in a world full of distractions. It’s a conversation about improvising confidence, redefining joy, and embracing the chaos of this stage of life.

    In this episode of Breakfast with a Friend, I sit down with Maggie from ‪@OurSecretSpillPodcast‬ to explore a strange idea: What if we live 1000 years!

We explore how finite our lives are and how we fight about everything on a tiny planet, our pale blue dot!
