Consciousness, Experience, Time, Life, and the Stages of Life, are topics deserving of their own podcast episode but we have tried to bring them all into one episode by instigating a reflection for all my listeners as early as now on the subjects.
From these questions, we unveil lessons about our present, awareness of the experience of life in and of itself, and awareness of our limited existence. Encouraging everyone, every listener to take action in living their lives to the fullest, to avoid replaying the past, to focus on the present, and to prepare for their future through taking decisive action in the present.
This episode is a reflective episode in preparation for what is to come. It pushes us to be intentional about why we listen, who we listen to, and what we take as advice depending on our goals and life projects.
Be the change you want to see, teach and give the lessons you wish you took, and live the life you truly believe will bring you fulfillment.
Hope you enjoy the ride. Let's grow together.

The Lyfe & Money Podcast seeks to shed light on the typical struggles we all face as career professionals, entrepreneurs, or individuals who have not figured out what they would like to do or who they would like to be in their lives.
We will do this using the Spotlight segment, then use the table topic segment to dissect vital issues of our society, debating on the best moves to make as hustlers or people who have a common goal.
We seek to inspire, educate, and comfort the average individual who fights a similar battle.
We seek to uplift the spirit by spreading love and understanding to our hardworking comrades
We seek to create a tribe of dedicated people fighting for their goals despite the odds
We seek to mentor the young and guide the lost
The Lyfe & Money Podcast preaches hard work with an understanding of how to make the most of your life as an individual.
We invite you therefore to have an open mind despite your environment, to believe it is possible despite your background, and to seek that goal you are passionate about with all your might (while doing all these, do not forget life is to be lived and we teach you how to live it)
