"El Ridículo de Hablar Sin Saber: La Ignorancia Cultural en las Redes y la Policía Dominicana"

El sábado vimos con asombro  a un coronel de apellido Ramírez paralizar la conmemoración del 8 de marzo porque un grupo de mujeres negras de Monte Plata cantaba la salve “Aguacero va a llover” y el oído del policía lo escuchaba en creole. El comandante Ramírez dijo que él no permitiría eso y desconectó las bocinas.Suspender una actividad de esa naturaleza no ocurría en la RD desde los 12 años, pero la reformada policía de Luis Abinader lo hace.Nunca hemos  esperado mucho de la policía dominicana por más anuncios que se hagan porque el autoritarismo está en su origen y no hay manera que con cursos y talleres se supere lo que es intrínseco de una institución o persona.Pero escuchar a supuestos comunicadores que dicen tener títulos universitarios decir que el baile de palos o los atabales atentan contra los valores crisitianos de la REpública Dominicana me mueve a risa pero por otro lado me preocupa porque hay demasiado gente a quienes  como dijo Humberto Eco"Las redes sociales le dan el derecho de hablar a legiones de idiotas que primero hablaban sólo en el bar después de un vaso de vino, sin dañar a la comunidad. Ellos eran silenciados rápidamente y ahora tienen el mismo derecho a hablar que un premio Nobel. Es la invasión de los idiotas"No soy quien para decir que Eco a quien conocí en los 80 porque su análisis semiótico “La estructura Ausente” era texto en la escuela de comunicación de la UASD fue tremendista.En estos días las empresas andan persiguiendo el efecto Dunning-Kruger que se define como la percepción que una persona con escasos conocimientos tiene de sí misma al creer que sabe más de lo que en realidad conoce. Este tipo de individuos suele opinar acerca de todo sin tener un conocimiento adecuado de las materias que se tratan.Ese fenómeno descrito a mitad del siglo pasado muestra por oposición a la persona de alta formación que precisamente por su nivel de conocimiento siempre duda. Los test laborales andan buscando eso por el daño que suele provocar en las corporaciones.Las redes están llenas de personas que saben más de medicinas que los médicos, más de música que los músicos y que se atreven a hablar y a opinar de lo que sea. Parafraseando a Eco los manager de gradería que ahora opinan en las redes lo que antes se teorizaba en los colmadones.Yo tendría 8 o 9 años la primera vez que oi del profesor Julio Gautreau la palabra “atabal” que no se usa en el sur del país donde simplemente se llaman palos.Atabal es una palabra hispánica de origen árabe que quiere decir tambor y en RD se usa sobre todo en la región este para definir las fiesta de Palos. El cibao y el sur usan el término palos.Los palos o atabales nos han acompañado a lo largo de la historia y no hay provincia dominicana en la que estén ausentes. Eso está comprobando en varias investigaciones de gente muy seria que no sabe de todo como los opinadores en boga.DEcir que los atabales son propios de los haitianos evidencia un analfabetismo cultural y una expresión del síndrome aquel del que cree que lo sabe todo. Aquí se tocan atabales desde la era colonial frente a la iglesia del Seibo, en poblados de mayoría blanquita como cañafistol en Baní y Monte Adentro en Salcedo. Se tocan en la sierra y los dominicanos lo han llevado a EStados Unidos, Canadá y España. Que penoso es que gente que no sabe de una cosa haga el ridículo escribiendo o hablando de todo y cuanto daño nos hace.

While I have spoken at SXSW, ArcView, New West Summit, and been interviewed by publications such as Business Insider and Forbes, I still did not feel content with my accomplishments. I found out that if you live by society's standards, you will never feel fulfilled because those weren't your dreams to begin with. I felt betrayed by society, I did everything I was supposed to do to be happy. I sacrificed my time, my health, and my relationships. I decided to do a 180 and became ULTRA SPIRITUAL. This provided me with a lot of relief from the mental suffering and pressure that I felt as an entrepreneur but I could also see downsides to always living in the moment and trusting that the universe will take care of you. This led me to create a framework that would take the best from both worlds. I wanted to combine practical, utilitarian skills with a metaphysical ideology so that you can lead a life of passion and purpose without sacrificing abundance. Now, I want to share this framework with as many people who want to begin prioritizing fulfillment and have self-mastery over their own lives.

Well guys this is it for iC!  I tried to think of something intelligent or witty or thought provoking to leave you all with, but it didn't come. Words can't really express the gratitude I feel for everyone who gave me their ears over the last 7 years. If you let me into to you workout session, your commute to work, your bathroom time, thank you!  I had no idea what to expect from starting a podcast. It truly was just an excuse for me to meet awesome people like Hua, Ben Larson, Seibo, Doug Leighton, Emily and Morgan Paxhia. I had no idea it would turn into such a meaningful part of life. It still amazes me that all of you smart people took interest in what a chubby stoner entrepreneur had to say about startups and investing. I never went to school for business and did my best to hang with the big dogs of cannabis investing. A couple groups I want to address directly: To the founders - keep going. Keep learning. You don't know what opportunity is going to pop. Whether it be in cannabis or another industry, keep fucking going! To the investors- I'm sorry this industry hasn't worked out better so far. I'm still a believer that with time great wealth can be created from cannabis, but the obstacles and barriers are still monumental.  To the guests - thank you for taking a chance on me! I was a kid with zero experience with either cannabis or podcasting. Thank you for everything you taught me.  To Producer Erik and Director Jacob - without question the fondest memories of the show will be with you two just trying to figure shit out. In many ways my favorite time was when nobody listened and we did this for ourselves. Let's start a new show!  For the last time . . . Tune in, listen up, get acquainted!

El 158 aniversario de la restauración y el centenario de la coronación de la Virgen de la Altagracia coinciden con una nueva tragedia en el hermano pueblo de Haiti, víctima de un terremoto y que en unas horas será afectado por las lluvias de la tormenta Grace. La restauración, como aprendí en la UASD, es la gran guerra patria de carácter popular y formadora de nuestra identidad. Quienes ya eran dominicanos superaron sus propias divisiones para defender lo que ya era una nación. No sin problemas porque en dos años de guerra hubo cuatro gobiernos incluyendo un triunvirato. Y el primer gobierno en armas apenas duró un mes porque Gaspar Polanco siquitrilló al bello Pepillo Salcedo. En términos de la religiosidad católica es el centenario de la coronación de la Altagracia como Protectora del Pueblo dominicano que, como en todo andamos divididos, no puede ser patrona porque ya lo era la Mercedes aquella a quien nuestra historia hispanófila le dio carácter de virgen colonialista porque se le atribuye tomar partido en contra de los nativos en el famoso golfo de las flechas. Supongo que es parte de esa historia novelada que debemos superar por carente de fundamento pero formadora de ideología. No sé si hay otra historia en el mundo que incluya la aparición de una virgen. La tradicional celebración mariana de la Altagracia, el 21 de enero, está asociada a la batalla de la limonada y a la promesa de los lanceros de Higuey y el Seibo que participaron en ella y que regresaron sanos y salvos después de cruzar la isla desde la hoy frontera con Haiti. Aunque los libros dicen que la batalla se peleó cerca de lo que hoy es Cabo Haitiano, la comunidad actual de Sabana real dista muchos kilómetros al sur en la franja fronteriza entre La descubierta y Hondo Valle. En esa “batalla” entre las fuerzas coloniales de España y Francia en 1691 el aporte de El seibo e Higuey debió ser limitado porque el censo de la época dice que una población tenía 60 casas y la otra 80. Los lanceros agradecidos que nos heredaron el culto altagraciano era una cincuentena de peones armados por un palo que terminaba en púa y tenían que dar muchas gracias por sobrevivir en esas condiciones. La historia real indica que no era más que una peonada conducida por sus jefes igual a la guerra que al trabajo. El 16 de agosto es una fecha preterida, casi condenada a ser segundona por los accidentes de la historia. Para una parte de la población no es más que la fecha de toma de posesión de los presidentes y eso coincide con el primer gobierno estable después de la restauración. Los diarios de hoy están plagados análisis del primer año de gobierno de Abinader y de la cancelación de la fiesta del Centenario de la Tatica y pocos o ninguno tratan de explicar la gran guerra popular de la restauración porque a este pueblo se le niega hasta eso que es la posibilidad de celebrarse a si mismo.

Seibo is an amazing example of success. He took a passion (cannabis), during a time when it was considered "taboo" (and was illegal), and created a successful business. Despite not having any family support (both moral support and financial support), Seibo followed his gut and his drive to push through the judgement and criticism and created a brand that is well recognized and celebrated in the cannabis space. With the taste of victory, Seibo shares his story and is now on a mission to help others find their passions and help them experience the success they desire.

In the latest podcast, Seibo joins Rob to discuss why men should continue to develop EQ, his journey to get to where he is now and commentary on the benefits and potential pitfalls.  02:09 - Intro Rob explains his process of being a relationship coach where he supports men to open up and engage in areas of their emotional intelligence they are deficient in. Whether that be social, personal and work life, Rob can help.  03:21 - What Does BAD Mean To Rob? Interestingly this definition changed over time for Rob, from traditionally badass beliefs expected from society to increasing importance on character values and emotional connection. Listeners should note the importance of staying true to the values you, and only you believe in but then having the fortitude to stand tall when your values are challenged from all sides.  05:26 - Origins of a King In this section Rob explains his embarrassing story; the feelings of shame and the guilt of being ugly felt during his first rejection led him to take those first steps to develop himself and become the person he is now.  Identifying and taking ownership of his shortcomings led him to refine his relationship skills and incorporate social frameworks. Rob shares that even after developing these social skills you are still not guaranteed success; even after finding success, Rob continued to experience empty interactions which eventually lead to suicidal thoughts.  Rob's experience can be quite relatable to other Asian men and highlights the dangers of neglecting all of our emotions or refusal to confront past trauma which can negatively shape our character. Rob commented that strength to express the full range of emotions to the fullest and embrace this side created vibrancy in life he didn't have before - as men, it can be easy to fall into the trap to pursue complete mastery over our emotions, but in its pursuit can prevent us from being human.  12:36 - How to develop EQ  Rob and Seibo discuss how to take small, actionable steps to begin developing EQ. Many of the key areas require an honest dialogue with yourself such as your fears, forgiveness for an experience that can be seen as shameful and addressing negative self-worth. It should be said, many of these areas can be difficult to explore where it is important to move past the ego which can prevent you from exploring these negative emotions and taking steps to resolve them.  Character experience is developed through slow, incremental changes but with continual, positive experiences and breakthroughs. Over time you can make these changes, but it requires complete effort time. While the journey was long, in Rob's eyes it was worth it. 25:16 - Challenges of being an Asian man Taking this back to the topic of Asian men, the pair explore aspects of Asian men that can be beneficial or a barrier to developing EQ. The ability to conduct root cause analysis can quickly identify areas for improvement, but common traits such as being overly self-critical may inhibit progress.   29:41 - Transformative Change & Creating More Sustainable Relationships In the last big topic, Rob empathises the need to acknowledge mistakes and not to be overly calculated and curated, which can hinder your ability to create better human relationships. Rob's transformational change was attributed to his ability to express characteristics authentic to himself, taking true ownership of his values and flaws, as well as showing vulnerability; much akin to the characteristics of the Byronic Hero. Defining these traits also allowed him to screen people in his personal and love life to form higher quality communities aligned with his values.  If listeners are sceptical about expressing negative emotions, in Rob's experience it was these difficult experiences that created chances to create strong emotions and stronger bonds between parties.  54:46 - Where to find...

One of the things they never tell you is JUST how much of the wealthiest, most successful people on the planet do drugs. But not just any drugs. What you see time and again is the same 3-4 substances - ayahuasca, psilocybin mushrooms, DMT, and LSD. So the question you might be asking yourself now is....is there a reason for this? In this interview, we talk about the benefits and side effects of some of the more common hallucinogens, how that helps some people perform at a much higher level, and the freaky part of experiencing other realities. If you're curious about psychedelics and exploring altered states of mind, or if you're a seasoned psychonaut - this is the episode for you.

HAM68 Today Seibo talks with Teen, one of the team members of Plan A Magazine about psilocybin and the lessons they both learned from their experiences with the substance. The podcast begins with Teen discussing his personal, first time experience with psilocybin, what made him decide to explore it, and the difficulties describing the uniqueness of the ordeal. The pair then proceed to examine how the psilocybin experience seems to differ each time depending on your idiosyncrasies, but also allows you to become more sensitive to your emotions and sensations - almost as if there was a separation of consciousness from the "everyday version" and the "enlightened version". Seibo then moves on to discuss the beneficial applications of psilocybin therapy as an aide to resolve mental trauma, as well as the research progress made by previous guest Terence Ching. Where patients describe that it is almost as if the effects of psilocybin provide enough detachment to analyse and reframe these traumatic experiences and then have the confidence to explore their unresolved issues. In the latter half the two then reflect on the aftermath of Teen's session and talk about the difficulties processing and describing the experience after taking psilocybin. Although the experience was an unusual, negative one it allowed Teen to further explore his negative emotions and better comprehend the shared challenges and burdens that human beings have. Contrary to Teen, Seibo talks about how psilocybin sessions helped him realise the need to rebuild the relationship with his brother and recognise how certain motivations originated from particular influences in his life, which allowed him to free himself of these restraints. With the controversy surrounding psychedelics and those that use them, the experiences discussed in this podcast episode demonstrate how these substances can in fact be beneficial and it is hoped that continued progress can be made in this area to destigmatize and educate the public.

Seibo gets together with Eric Feng, brought together by fellow guest Gavin Masumiya. Coming from Singapore, Eric brings the heat where he discusses: personal and brand identity, how to inspire others and create an audience, and the importance of public perception.  Starting off, Eric discusses the steps about how to bring others into the fold and become invested into you as a person, and in turn, your brand. Eric identifies three important steps: Knowing, Liking, and Respecting. Where if these three steps are met creates the catalyst for audiences to become invested in your branding to create long term business ventures.  The KLR framework was initially created because of Eric's personal experiences with public speaking and after much introspection, Eric identified the importance of public perception, where those with the highest social value had more margin for error compared to more qualified, but less known figures when it came to providing information.  Moving on, Seibo asks the important question about how one would identify what motivates us and how this can have an impact on promoting your business - The best method Eric discovered was the need to find an objective third party to observe and critique you as a person to enable you to identify where your strengths and talents lie.  Once this has been identified, the individual can progress to further stages to develop an improved business model such as: identifying your target audience, how to convert interest into leads, and clearly defining what product or image you are selling them.  Lastly, Eric stresses the importance of finding mentors to springboard your success. However, Eric reminds the listeners to not be an askhole, where we are stuck analysing our mentor's advice without walking the walk and taking action. In doing so you are able to create a better relationship with mentors and progress at a quicker rate.  This fast paced episode unfortunately concludes early due to time scheduling, but is nonetheless packed with information.  For more gems Eric can be found at @ericgoesglobal Eric is sharing his social media secrets to get more clients on social media without paying for ads or creating any content!

In episode 66, Seibo sits down to speak with Allen Fu, Founder and CEO of Hustle Nation. Allen, born in Australia is the son of immigrants from China. His parents first begin an all too common immigrant journey: immigrating to an unknown country, leaving loved ones behind, and working tirelessly to make a living.   Eventually, after making the decision that they did not want to continue working for others, Allen's parents made the hard decision to start their own business and forge their own path in Australia. With hustle in his DNA, Allen utilised the skills and experiences he learned in life and from his parents; this allowed Allen to build his own successful business where he now works with famous athletes and others who want to turn their dreams into reality.   Starting off, Allen talks about his struggles that Asians routinely face living in Western countries, however Allen recognised the importance of self improvement at an early age and began to take action to try and improve his situation. Channelling his family name of F.U, he began discovering how taking ownership, developing yourself physically and mentally, and pushing back when necessary helped him gain more respect on both a social and business level.   Furthermore, Allen gives practical solutions to learning high value business skills, the most important one being sales. Sales and door to door jobs were what allowed Allen to become accustomed to rejection and build his soft skills, which allowed him to make connections and partnerships to grow his business into what it is now. Nonetheless, when talking about developing EQ, Allen displays his vulnerability where he attributes that being bullied for 10 years provided him the opportunity to develop his empathy and see things from different perspectives. The two then talk about the benefits of Asian Hustle Network (co-founded by fellow HAM guest Bryan Pham and partner in crime Maggie Chui) which the two are both a part of. When reflecting on how this group has helped them find like minded people and business connections, Seibo also comments about the importance of helping others which can have numerous positive effects. In fact, Seibo comments about the times where he had helped others and how these situations actually became a type of long term investment, as the people that he had helped were able to help him grow his own business when they had finally reached their own success.   As the podcast comes to a close, Seibo and Allen both offer opportunities to reach out to them to any Asians who are considering starting their own business venture. The two also recommend signing up to Asian Hustle Network to find even more opportunities to help propel your business. For any Asian considering starting their own business, Allen offers his words of encouragement - Try, learn, and reach out. You'll never know if you don't start.

HAM 65 - Asian Hustle Network In this episode Seibo interviews Bryan Pham, co-founder behind the Asian Hustle Network alongside his partner Maggie Chui. Originally a software engineer in LA, Bryan was staggered about the high cost of living in the Bay area. Because of this, Bryan began partnering up with a friend where he was able to navigate the real estate environment, and over time eventually became active in the start-up community. This love of start-up inspired him to build a positive support network to connect and find others who were willing to support individuals who were turning their dreams into reality. With the boom of the meme page Subtle Asian Traits, wanting to combine his love of entrepreneurship, and support of his partner Maggie, Asian Hustle Network was born. Continuing on, Bryan talks about his growth and some of the challenges he faced; this included challenges such as breaking out of his more introverted personality and overcoming his aversion to public speaking. Seibo and Bryan then reflect on Asian culture and its irrational fear of exploring the unknown outside of the more reliable STEM fields, as well as the self limiting beliefs commonly placed upon by ourselves or by our Asians parents. The message about having the ability to look beyond traditional avenues, to stop boxing yourself in and to stop limiting your potential due self imposed beliefs is an important message everyone should take to heart, no matter what path we take. With the pair then advocating that we should begin to recognise that we may be underutilizing skill sets that can in fact be adapted to a variety of different areas and to also be comfortable when our paths may deviate from the traditional career paths we first set upon. Moving onto practical advice, Bryan talks about his own process on how to: tackle long-term goals, break these goals into more manageable segments, and recognise when you need to delegate or outsource your tasks. This can also lead to positive side effects such as: allowing people to work on areas they are personally passionate about, freeing you up to tackle other tasks, and allowing others the opportunity to shine. Moving onto entrepreneurial pursuits, Seibo and Bryan contemplate the rise and grind culture associated with entrepreneurship. In this segment, the two discuss the need to take time to relax and recharge, realising the act of grinding and being busy can in fact be a futile endeavour, and the benefits of blocking out time to allow yourself to rest to be able to work more effectively. Rounding off, Bryan cautions listeners to not force themselves to fit into preconceived moulds commonly seen in the rise and grind culture and work with what feels natural to you. As Seibo touts the positive benefits and continued positive momentum since joining the Asian Hustle Network, Bryan talks about how he was initially spurred into action by talking to a Jewish friend, where Bryan wanted to mirror the positive, supportive communities that he commonly saw in the Jewish community, leading him to try and develop a more united network regardless of what Asian ethnicity you are. As Bryan and Seibo continue to talk about the positive impacts of the Asian Hustle Network, Bryan reiterates that all members have something to bring to the table regardless of what stage they are at; Asian Hustle Network is not just about the fantastic achievements other members have (deservedly) achieved, and in actuality the stories Bryan and Seibo found that were the most inspirational were from members who came out on top despite the odds or expressed vulnerability, but had the courage to talk about challenges or struggles they were facing. Branching off the topic about overcoming challenges, Bryan expresses his own vulnerability regarding his journey to develop his EQ, realising the power of developing high EQ, and how developing these skills helped him bring together quality people - By getting out and doing one thing that made him uncomfortable, but having the fortitude to power through the short lived awkwardness, Bryan demonstrates firsthand how these "talents" can be worked on over time. As the podcast comes to its end, Seibo then closes out the podcast by asking Brian about the future direction of Asian Hustle Network, where Bryan envisions other Asians will be in the future, and the most surprising thing that came out of creating Asian Hustle Network. For more information, Asian Hustle Network can be found on Facebook and Patreon, where the Patreon fund is used to fund events all around the world.

Gavin talks about the origins of Flowmaster, which originated from a happy accident from talking with another colleague at Toastmasters. The pair expressed their secret love of free-style rap and began devising ideas on how to put a unique, modern spin on public speaking. At the start of the podcast Seibo and Gavin begin talking about listing the benefits of realizing and expressing your true self and the benefits it brings when it comes to mindset, forming relationships, and positive action. Moving on, Gavin reflects on his own childhood and the struggles of denying his true self and the impact it did to his self esteem when he allowed himself to be defined by self imposed standards. Furthermore, with the societal pressures to conform where we treat the symptoms with pharmaceuticals Seibo also reflects on our inability to address the root cause which have connections to repressed emotions and the question of why we are so unwilling to address them. Gavin then transitions into providing useful tips and practical exercises to calm yourself when you are feeling overwhelmed with anxiety or frustration, noting the positive changes you can experience if you practice these exercises and how it has been beneficial in his own life. Conversely, acknowledging your own achievements or positive comments from others is also needed, and you should allow yourself to give yourself permission to truly own them. The podcast closes out reiterating the benefits of developing these exercises and the small steps you can take to incorporate them into your own life.

In the world of Instagram stories, Facebook likes, and 24/7 Hustle Seibo and Brandon sit down in episode 62 to discuss how society conditions individuals to always be switched on and where being busy is a virtue. Episode 62 reflects on the challenges this type of environment can bring and how to break away from this frame of mind. Starting off, Brandon introduces the concept of "masturdating" - Being intentional and taking time out to pursue your own desires and being comfortable alone. The pair then move onto exploring strategies, such as starting small by blocking out small chunks of time thinking about things you want to do but have been putting off or going out to a restaurant eating the foods you want without restraints. Following on, Brandon and Seibo discuss their own experiences about the challenges of truly committing to the things you want to pursue in the moment without remorse; Seibo talks about his difficulties and guilt of switching off because of the need to always be productive and Brandon talks about managing all the different internal struggles many of us grapple with when it comes to making and committing to decisions. Reflecting on this train of thought, the two then look to people in their own lives where these individuals are pursuing and defining their own lives and how exciting and freeing it can be living life on your own terms. In the fast paced world and 24/7 productivity, the pair reminds listeners to remember to take some time out to go after the things you have been putting off in pursuit of the hustle.

Chi starts off with his colourful background and how he pivoted into overseeing numerous psilocybin sessions today. From his particular experience playing professional poker Chi learned how the poker scene provided lessons about how not to act, which lead him to reorientate himself and begin his journey of self exploration. Seibo and Chi start off about their introduction to products such as cannabis, acid, and psilocybin. Chi then describes his own journey about how he was initially introduced to mushrooms by his friend, and subsequently this first positive experience encouraged him to continue exploring the world of psilocybin. The pair then disclose advice to those wanting to begin using psilocybin and the importance of priming the individual. Factors such as a good environment, positive mindset, and being honest with yourself about your preparedness can heavily determine the outcome of your first session. Chi also provides sound advice about the need for a good support system and dosing before attempting psilocybin, as well as the qualities of a good trip-sitter. Seibo moves into the final leg of the podcast about how changing terminologies can make unfamiliar topics more palatable for public consumption; being a conduit may also allow people to be more open to the idea of more stigmatized products such as psilocybin. The pair then transition to Asian culture and its perceived inability to address repressed emotions, how Asian cultures may benefit from psilocybin use and how it could potentially be introduced. Finally, the podcast closes out about how we can face our own sense of self and how psilocybin sessions could facilitate self awareness and individual growth.

The model analyses the connection between personal responsibility and power in conflict, as well as the shifting roles people embody in this type of interaction.   The Triangle contains three distinct roles: Victim – powerless, helpless and ashamed. The victim hopes for the rescuer to change everything without empowering themselves. Persecutor – critical, blaming, authoritarian, the persecutor oppresses the victim by bullying and threats. The persecutor usually presents because of building resentment and feelings of being underappreciated. Rescuer – Needs to feel important, by enabling the victim they validate their own importance. Rescuing takes the attention off the rescuer's own problems so they do not need to confront their own issues.   The pair use the Karpman Triangle to analyse how this destructive behaviour can impact us as individuals and affect us as human beings. Brandon and Seibo then move onto discuss situations and times in their own lives where they embodied each of these roles, what they learned from these experiences, and how they turned these experiences into positive action. Brandon reflects on his romantic challenges and times in his twenties and thirties where these roles presented themselves, but also talks about how he transformed these experiences into positive action once he challenged these dynamics. Brandon closes his part by recommending Atomic Habits which discusses the pay offs for certain habits such as: achievement, autonomy, and comfort if listeners want to further understand these dynamics. Moving on,   Seibo talks about how breaking from the cycle helped him find more appreciation to help and give back to others. One heartwarming experience he reflects on is practicing Jiu Jitsu with his two daughters and the joy of helping others improve and grow without expecting anything in return or using nefarious means. The podcast then closes out by reminding listeners how using the Karpman Triangle can be beneficial in identifying times when we are behaving in a toxic manner and avoid the pitfalls which may impact our relationship with others.

Seibo flies solo stopping by to have a discussion with 10th Planet instructor Jarrell Garcia talking all things Jiu Jitsu. Episode 58 demonstrates how seemingly unrelated aspects can benefit you in other areas of life. Jiu Jitsu doesn’t just have benefits on the mat, the same principles allow you to cultivate your emotional intelligence and how you perceive things enabling you to judiciously navigate emotional challenges.  Jarrell began playing soccer as a childhood sport from middle school to high school as many others did, however Jarrell then went off to college to choose the path of pursuing sports instead of culinary arts. During undergrad Jarrell originally started off training MMA, but eventually settled down with 10th Planet where he has been for 7 years.  Seibo and Jarrell reminisce about how they met and their first impressions and how they got into Jiu Jitsu. Moving on, Jarrell talks about his approach coaching and how his coaching principles do not drastically change when teaching – in fact he believes that each different pupil will emphasize the parts which speak to them and adapt the art to fit their own personality.  There are many lessons taken from Jiu Jitsu that can apply to numerous areas of life such as: Seibo’s blue belt arrogance – How to be more adaptable and let go of rigid thinking. Family – Finding support in friends such as Grace and having the opportunity to learn from them. Finding your own voice – Following the principles of Bruce Lee, after learning the fundamentals eventually you need to find your own style and voice in the world. In the second half the pair moves into discussing fatherhood and relationships. Seibo and Jarrell reflect on preparing for fatherhood and how to maintain and cultivate the relationship with their partners such as the importance of date night. The talks also highlight the need to address and open up to feelings which facilitates better communication and relationships allowing to express your authentic self, much like when moving into flow states when rolling on the mat and competing in sports. Closing out, Jarrell emphasizes the importance of sports in creating positive action such as how it benefits inner city kids, the joy of helping others by teaching, and being a catalyst to allow others to reach the next level. Finally, congratulations to Seibo who recently graduated to purple belt after many years of hard graft and dedication.

HAM57 – Justin Tsui of Win Each Day In episode 57, Brandon and Seibo sit down with Justin Tsui. Justin began enveloped in the world of football, eventually becoming a high school physical education teacher; he taught a wide variety of sports from hockey to football where he developed his skills of coaching, teaching and mentoring. His experience building up young adults into competitive athletes developed into finding new methods to how these athletes could address and manage their emotions and mindset in the world of sport. After flourishing for many years, Justin was at a turning point – on paper he had it all, but he was left wondering why he was still left unfulfilled. Fast forward to today and Justin is now a health and wellness businessman providing a refuge for people who are seeking mentoring with regards to how tackle their emotional challenges head on and develop the skills to manage and navigate personal turmoil. Episode 57 delves deep into the struggles of resolving relationships and personal challenges focusing on: - How do we keep ourselves accountable with the individual we want to be? - Being consistent with our character and being the best version of ourselves, not just in our professional lives, but also our personal lives with friends and family - How do we balance our behaviours and attitudes with strangers compared to our loved ones – why do feel it is permitted to be patient with the young athletes we coach, but forget to extend the sentiment to our own sons or daughters? - Why is communication so important as father figures and partners? The group break down the importance of communicating and disclosing our feelings to cultivate good relationships with our children and partners, as well as the consequences of not cultivating our emotional intelligence or maintaining good, consistent communication with loved ones. The trio then move on to discuss the need for support groups to allow ourselves to open up about our feelings, territory we as males are commonly reluctant to venture into. Why are individuals like Brandon able create havens that allows people to feel comfortable and open up? – it all comes down to trust, vulnerability, and honesty. Finally the discussions conclude with the importance of trust and intuition when it comes to forming genuine relationships. Seibo and Justin reflect about the people they have met in their life time, coming to the understanding how much an individual’s character plays a much larger role in forming these relationships compared to the conventional, even opportunistic criteria such as: profession, academics or qualifications. This trust, combined with listening to your own intuition plays an important role for finding like minded people enabling you to grow and develop. The trio ends out the podcast by underlying the three most important things to take away from the podcast and where to find Justin at the Win Each Day Facebook group.
