  1. Episode 72: Keeping Our Humanity In Tact By Holding Empathy In One Hand And Accountability In The Other

    2D AGO

    Episode 72: Keeping Our Humanity In Tact By Holding Empathy In One Hand And Accountability In The Other

    Something I posted on Instagram this week is kind of blowing up… and I think it’s because it gave language to some things that we’re all feeling. How do we stay human when the world feels like it’s falling apart?  I’m back with more thoughts on current events! This episode kind of piggybacks off of last week’s when we talked about the ICE raids in LA. This week I want to dig deeper into the specifics of what’s happening—from a human level. I didn’t post a political argument. I posted a human one. And that’s what I want to talk about today. Behind every protest sign, policy, and headline is a human.  If we’re going to keep our humanity in tact, we have to hold empathy in one hand and accountability in the other. . . . . .

  2. Episode 71: How Do We Stay Human When The Headlines Are Trying To Steal Our Empathy?

    JUN 12

    Episode 71: How Do We Stay Human When The Headlines Are Trying To Steal Our Empathy?

    This is a personal episode, but it’s also a very public episode, as what we’re talking about has been all over the news and social media. Today I’m addressing what’s going on in LA right now.  As the son of immigrants, this isn’t theoretical for me, but I’m not pretending to have all the answers. I want to help us ask better questions, because when we ask better questions, we hear better stories. And when we hear better stories, we become better humans.  This isn’t a hot take, and I’m not pushing an agenda. I truly believe that curiosity is more powerful than certainty. And proximity is more powerful than politics. . . . . . Have a secretly extraordinary life? Apply to be a guest on my podcast in 2025 here: https://forms.gle/Z13WGj63oEfgmtjJ9 . . . . .

    Episode 70: Carlos - The Lie Of Being Behind

    Today we’re breaking the agreement with a lie that I battle constantly: I should be further along by now. If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking that, this is the episode for you. I’m pulling the curtain back on the thing that is quietly crushing us. Maybe you feel like you’re behind in your relationships or career or finances or healing or whatever. Maybe you look around and it feels like everyone around you is crossing a finish life that you’re not even close to. Can I tell you something? You’re not behind; you’re just still building.  . . . . . Have a secretly extraordinary life? Apply to be a guest on my podcast in 2025 here: https://forms.gle/Z13WGj63oEfgmtjJ9 . . . . .

    Episode 69: Carlos, 51 - When Fear Writes The Story

    This episode is all about fear--fear that camps out in your gut, that whispers constantly about worst case scenarios, that pretends to be wisdom but is actually just panic in a business suit. What do we do when fear writes the story that it's not supposed to be writing? If you've been following me for the last year, you'll know that fear has been pretty present in my life. Because of that, I've had to learn and relearn a few lessons. I'm sharing those with you. This is how I took the pen back. . . . . . Have a secretly extraordinary life?

    Episode 67: Bo - What A Wildlife Guide Learns About Humans

    This episode is unlike any I’ve done before! I’m out in the field with Bo, our EcoTour Adventures Wildlife Guide in Grand Teton National Park.  We saw bears and other wildlife with him, and he graciously said yes when I asked if I could interview him!  He’s bringing all the wisdom of a nature guide who not only interacts with animals but deals with all of the people on his tours. You might be surprised! This is what a professional wildlife guide learns about human beings. Class is in session. Let’s get curious! . . . . . Heading to the Tetons?

    Episode 66: Carlos - Catching Up On My Personal Life From Jackson Hole, Wyoming

    This week’s episode is a little different. No guest. No interview. Just me, catching you up on my life. I’m sharing honestly about what it’s been like navigating the loss of my dad, stepping into the new role of caring for my mom, and figuring out what boundaries look like in this season of shifting family dynamics. I also talk about the disappointment that comes when people say they’ll show up—and don’t. If you’ve ever found yourself holding more than you thought you could carry, this one’s for you. Class is still in session… just a little more personal today. . . . . . Have a secretly extraordinary life?
