On this podcast, you get to listen in to my catch up conversations with friends! The latest season will feature people from different industries in Manila, where we'll get to hear about career highs and lows, and what's it really like being in that little work-bubble that they live in. It's 50% me consulting on how to go about making big life and career decisions, and the other 50%, I ask questions for you, oh lost soul, who have yet to figure out their next move. Enjoy your eavesdropping!

    Welcome back to "Confessions of a Serial Hobbyist"! In this second episode of our mini-series, I take you on my latest adventure—tennis. After diving into the world of DJing last week, I'm switching gears to explore a completely different arena: the tennis court. In this episode, I'll share why I decided to pick up a tennis racket as a complete beginner, the steps I took to get started. Whether you're interested in how to start playing tennis, looking for beginner tennis tips, or just curious about how to take up a new hobby, this episode is for you. Plus, I'll dive into the three valuable lessons I learned from pursuing tennis as a hobby—lessons that go beyond the court and can apply to various aspects of life. If you've ever wondered what it takes to get into a new sport, how to stay motivated, or what it's like to balance a new hobby with a busy life, this episode is packed with insights, humor, and a touch of personal reflection. Tune in to discover how tennis has become more than just a game for me. And don't forget to check out last week's episode on my DJing journey if you haven't already!
