When you do things for the first time, you are an amateur - and since this is our first time living, we are all just amateurs at life. That doesn't mean we can't grow, learn, and mature. Join me, Saif, as I make the best of my first try at life and speak to some other maturing amateurs about their first try.

Episode 7: Emotional Maturity and Ego

Welcome back to A Maturing Amateur! In this episode, I talk to the coolest guy I know... me! Or maybe that's just my ego talking. *holds for applause*. And this is what we call millennial humour, and I'm not at all ashamed... my ego wouldn't let me be! I really enjoy waxing poetic about emotional maturity and ego because I think that becoming more aware of these concepts that reside within us is the best way to reach life satisfaction and improve relationships with other people and yourself. Let me know what you think of the episode! If there's a topic you're itching to wax poetic about as well, reach out amaturingamateur@gmail.com or just message me.

Episode 6: Self Love with... Myself

Welcome back to A Maturing Amateur! It's me, the amateur that is maturing, having a convo with me - about how I love... me! Self-love has become a priority, mission, and daily focus for me recently, and I want to share some of my thoughts. The podcast may sound like I'm giving you advice - but I'm actually just talking to myself in 2nd person, so I'm giving myself advice. This a step in me being more vulnerable on the podcast and I'm proud of that. Let me know what you think, and please say the hate comments loudly to yourself. Thanks! And email me at amaturingamateur@gmail.com for comments, questions, thoughts, monologues - or if you want to be a guest on the pod.

Episode 5: Lessons from being an Olympian with Noelle Montcalm

Welcome to A Maturing Amateur where I talk to people about their passions and interests and what that's taught them about life. In this episode, I was lucky enough to speak with Noelle Montcalm, who happens to be a frickin' Olympian! I listed some of her track and field accolades at the beginning of the episode, and then we discussed her experience and journey training and competing over the last several years. I learned about how she handled failure, how important having support from the people around her was, and what I might need to do if I ever decide to become an Olympian... which I'm still contemplating. Thank you so much to Noelle for speaking with me! You can follow her on Instagram @noellemontcalm. Thank you for listening and let me know what you think of the podcast, or BE A GUEST - email me at amaturingamateur@gmail.com

Episode 4: Stand-up Comedy and Screenwriting with Raza

Have you ever laughed, or watched a movie, or laughed while watching a movie? Then you'll love this episode! I talk with Raza Mughal - amateur stand-up comedian and screenwriter - about what goes through his mind while he is writing and performing jokes in front of people, how to take subjective feedback, why screenwriting is a part of him, and his advice on how to start performing stand-up or write screenplays.

Episode 3: Being a Pro-Crastinator

Welcome to A Maturing Amateur! It's been 5 months since I released my last episode so I thought I'd talk about something I'm actually an expert at which is procrastinating... ever heard of it? I talk about the real reasons I and/or we procrastinate, how I try to overcome it, and the big picture around procrastination. If you have any thoughts on this topic, or want to discuss a topic/skill/passion that you're interested in - email me at amaturingamateur@gmail.com or message me on IG @saifenous.pa.

Episode 2: Storytelling with Anne Dang

Welcome to A Maturing Amateur! I made this podcast as an excuse to talk to friends, acquaintances and strangers about their passions in life. In this episode, I speak with a friend and colleague, Anne. We talk about storytelling which I believe Anne is incredible at. I've learned a lot from watching her create her own and other people's stories on social media and on her blog and continued to learn from her during this conversation. I hope you enjoy! If you're interested in being on this podcast as a guest, I would be thrilled to have you. I'm open to talking about essentially anything! You can email the show at amaturingamateur@gmail.com

Episode 1: A Maturing Amateur Introduction, Me and Dance

The best way to begin is by beginning. The first time you do something, you're an amateur. This is our first time living life - making us all amateurs at life. But we're growing, learning, experiencing and maturing with time. This podcast will be me speaking about some stuff that I may be an amateur at and speaking with others about things they may be amateurs at. Through conversation, we hopefully will find inspirations, lessons and reflections that will help us continue to mature into well-seasoned amateurs.
