In a world where everything seems like upside down, we do the best we can within our ability to better the situations and move forward. Once Covid-19 started affecting our lives, we've observed various reactions from people. Many started feeling guilt. The guilt for not continuing working on their projects/business, the guilt of not producing content, the guilt to shutting off and focusing on themselves. Many videos & social media posts started popping up pressuring people to pivot their mindset, to continue pushing their business, to continue pumping content. And at some extent, these content were produced with good intentions to helping people strive in difficult moments. When faced with trauma, people's actions won't always be reflected as good. We talk to Pamela Bakalian from Leaders Who Celebrate to understand the paths trauma can impede on someone. Why some people are in denial of this pandemic. How does the human nervous system work? **NOTE** this episode has much more a depressive feeling at first and has not been produce to degrade anyone or point fingers. This is a learning platform and our discussions remain real & deep. As we go through sad and dark moments in history, our podcast will reflect the times it is being produced. Lighter conversations will return with the changes we will face in our times. We care and love you all. Stay Safe and Stay True.

We are often distracted by other people's posts which give us an impulse to post whatever we can find on our phones to simply post. Some, even go out their way to trying to replicate that post to try to do better or ride the bang wagon. But, doing so, is it being creative? Is posting regular content make us a creator? How original do we have to be to be considered a creative person? As controversial as it sounds, we provoke on the question if social media is killing our creativity? We meet up with Creative Coach Stefano Di Lollo, who elaborates on this idea of what does it take to actually be a creative person. How much is social media blocking us from being original?

When you are working on a project or starting a new business, it is not as easy as it sounds. More and more we hear inspiring speeches to getting you to start a new life, by quitting your day job and become a full-time freelancer or an entrepreneur. The part people do not share often is the downsides of the reality they have to face. And truly, these are the conversations which help. You try to accomplish something, but you are unable to get it on time or simply can’t do it alone. Becoming an entrepreneur comes with a lot of solitude, if not executed properly. Your projects are yours to handle, but you definitely do not need to be alone in this journey. How can you recruit more people to help you, at the same time not get them away from achieving their own dreams? We were able to have a short chat with Marjorie from Grind Atelier who expressed similar traits of feeling blue like Patrick did when the New Year started. What is causing this? Is it the weather, lack of sun, is it time, is it isolation? We discuss it all in this new episode.

There are many content creators who would fake their situations to click-bait people in getting high statistics. Abusing their influential powers over their audience has caused this misconception & generalization of who web influencers are and diminished their credibility due to misleading. Social media gave people the ability to post what they want with no validation nor review making their claims untrustworthy. Joey Kidney, a young Canadian creator who has become an acclaimed influencer with time, has gotten offended from others who have falsely claimed being diagnosed with the same symptoms as him and have turned it into a mockery to gain new clicks. Attention seekers have abused their online influence with many drama-driven stories to drive traffic and attention to themselves disregarding how others living the situation would react. In this podcast we discuss with Joey Kidney, who is going through anxiety, how he reacts when others fake their diagnosis and provide false solutions just to gain new following.

With great power comes great responsibilities. This is part 1 of a 3 part series on the power of influencers. With the advent of the internet and social media, people are subjected to massive sources of information and are prone to use it to make life's decisions. Influencers (recent web celebrities) have even a stronger impact on these choices. Influencers can either use their voice for good or make people do reckless things. We sit down with a young artist who grew up with social media being an impact in his life. Ambro Dipilato, uses his popular Instagram platform to not only share his art, but also promote wellness by posting encouraging messages and facts about the environment / nature.

These days, all we hear about is how many likes someone got on their latest Instagram post or how many YouTube Subscribers can one get under a month. It feels more and more like a competition and less about the desire to create content. Should we be producing content that we enjoy making and hope it might do well once published or should we be relying on data to see what people would like to see which will get us the engagement we are looking for? Should we be doing a little of both? We sit down with Oscar from Oscarama to get his perspective on this topic. Where do you see yourself?
