    Dining Alone and Being Comfortable with Yourself

    After being judged for dining alone during my trip to Italy, I felt inspired to record this episode while drinking some prosecco. We'll be reflecting on: why this situation bothered me; why people rush to judge others; how we should create a life based on our own desires instead of trying to meet other people's expectations. This was recorded very spontaneously, and was completely unscripted. I hope you enjoy the conversation and to see you in the comments! Go to Youtube for a full video experience.

    How Cultural Differences Impact Self-Discovery

    Self-discovery takes different proportions once we start exploring different cultures. That's because traveling, living abroad, and meeting immigrants allows you to experience a different perspective on how the world works. And that perspective can challenge your own beliefs, and your own reality, in ways you could've never imagined before. In today's episode, we'll explore how cultural differences can impact our self-discovery process with the Germany based Brazilian dancer, Lívia Gil. Even though she was born and raised in Brazil, she has spent the past 10+ years living in Europe, having lived in London, UK, and in several cities in Germany. Currently based in the city of Cologne, this experience has completely reshaped Lívia's way of thinking about how a society should function, and has brought her more opportunity to learn about herself and her vision of right and wrong. Together with our Brazilian host Carolina Rizzotto's experience living and working in the USA for the past 9 years, this episode comes together into an interesting conversation about cultures, and our places within them.

    Why You Should Question Your Reality

    Today we'll be questioning our reality inspired in Socrates' quote "All I Know is I Know Nothing". In this episode, we'll be reflecting on all the different ways people think and experience life, and on how there's not exclusively one single right answer to anything. Everything in life is subjective, and all of our reasoning is exclusively based on our own human experience. Therefore, we have to seek a path of empathy and understanding of other people's reality in order to expand our own. This is probably the most inconclusive episode I've ever recorded, where I deeply analyze things by myself and share the process with you guys. I hope you'll join the confusion, and become a part of the conversation in the comments below.

    The Secret Behind Ambition: Hard Work & Restrategizing

    Ambition is a great quality to have, especially when it comes to business. But can simply wanting something be enough to achieve success? Today’s episode is about The Secret Behind Ambition: Hard Work and Restrategizing, as we get to know the story of professional baker, entrepreneur, and winner of Netflix's "Baking Impossible", Rodolfo Gonçalves. A Brazilian immigrant who worked as a programmer until the age of 24, Rodolfo won the green card lottery in 2004 and moved to New York City, with the hopes of living the American Dream. Since he barely spoke English at the time, it was very hard getting a job as a programmer, so he had to work cleaning dishes instead. This was a really difficult downfall for Rodolfo, but he never stopped pushing himself and striving for more. Since he's moved to the US, Rodolfo has fallen in love with baking and the creative freedom it brings you. Within the last 20 years he’s not only built his own cake business, but has won multiple awards, been in 5 reality TV baking shows, and won Netflix’s "Baking Impossible" where 1 baker and 1 engineer make cakes which defy the laws of physics. Even though Rodolfo has had several professional accomplishments since moving to the US, he's had to constantly pivot and restrategize as his career went into unforeseen directions. That's where the secret to success really is.
