High school gets busy, life can be hectic, extracurriculars are always happening and in all this, I feel like I never get to doing a lot of things I really, really want to do. And if you’re always chasing your ambition like it’s your tail, shit hits the fan. Sometimes I don’t put a pause on the swamped feeling of being so ashamed of what I did or so worried about what I’m not going to do. That’s why I wanted to sit down for a bit. Longer conversations are awesome because I learn so much and I’m usually in it. I’d like to be honest with myself, vulnerable with others, and curious about the world. This podcast is about people I really want to talk to. It’s about health. It’s about relationships. It’s about me. And it’s about other people. And whatever else we want to talk about.

He talks about the notion of having multiple social selves. He shares his thoughts on authenticity, dating, and the balance between adapting behavior and being oneself.
