Hey all,
Welcome back to 'Off the Record' - which is a new series where I just speak about interesting , relevant topics that are relevant with various guest(s). This particular conversation was inspired by a catch up with couple like minded people such as Sakky from @zerotodesign where we discussed the pros and cons of working in either corporate company or a start up.
More people coming outside of university are taking the 'unconventional' route of either joining start ups or creating a company of their own and the younger generation are traditionally more willing to take risks and pave their own path. That's the kind of content we discuss in this episode podcast - along with future of work , job trends and where will Artificial Intelligence take us.

Hey all,
Welcome back to Meeks Speaks - where I review books in spirituality, psychology and development categories and throw in some personal stories along the way and just generally speak what's on my mind.
This episode is inspired by all things integrity - what it means and how can we use integrity to find peace. I was listening to a podcast episode with Martha Beck who wrote the book "The Way of Integrity" and she also said this quote which really resonated with me - "Peace is the home, integrity is the way to it and everything you long for will meet you there". Also thank you to all that got involved with my poll on instagram , you all are my true inspirations.

Hey all,
Welcome back to Meeks Speaks - where I review books in spirituality, psychology and development categories and throw in some personal stories along the way and just generally speak what's on my mind.
This episode was inspired by a new book I stumbled across "Be as you are" - teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi who is a silent sage of South India who speaks of "the self" and devoted his whole life with no possessions just sharing his teachings regarding achieving liberation.
I speak about my "experience" of enlightenment back when I was 12/13, where the word @selfdevsundayss came from and although I am not recommending us all to be a sage and go to india, but some altruistic traits from Ramana we can get inspired by.
