I had everything ready; the mic, the notes, the plan.
But one unexpected call from a student changed the whole episode.

In this week’s story, I talk about my journey as a mentor; how it began, what it taught me, and why “helping others” often helps us grow too.

From my first class at 21 to building Contenders, to the truth session about UNO and finding our passion—this one’s close to my heart.

This episode begins with a familiar haze at the mental cloud we call brain fog, and slowly drifts into a story I’ve never shared before: the day I almost gave up on writing. From a moment of harsh criticism to an unexpected push that brought me back, this one’s about how a few words can shape an entire journey.

We’ll talk about the power of encouragement, the weight of small comments, and why sometimes just saying “keep going” can change someone’s life.

🎙️ A tale, a thought, and a truth — all about how one “yes” can make all the difference.

In this very first episode, I’m introducing you to Tales, Thoughts, and Truths — a space for stories, reflections, and real conversations. I’ll share a bit about who I am, why I started this podcast, and what you can expect from each episode going forward.

We’ll also dive into our first "Thought" — how our attention spans are changing in the age of fast content — and I’ll leave you with a simple but powerful truth about how big journeys often start small.

If you enjoy honest reflections and storytelling, you’re in the right place.

🎙️ Let’s begin.
