2022/10/31

In this episode, I—Vincent—discuss some of the challenges I've been facing in Japan, and why our vulnerabilities actually make us stronger. Human. A part of something greater. I draw wisdom from Ryan Holiday's new book Discipline Is Destiny, and discuss what strength meant for people like Queen Elizabeth II. What does it mean to be strong? Does it mean taking on as much as we can bear? Or is it asking for help? Surrender? After two months of living in Japan, my life has changed quite a lot. Yet I'm

2022/09/23

On this short solo episode, Vinny uses his current journey teaching English in Japan to express how the best experiences in life—those that ask us to get outside of our comfort zone and look the fool—exist on the other side of fear. We all fear the unknown; we fear looking dumb and like we don't know what we're doing. So we'd rather play it safe. Nothing which causes us to grow ever comes from playing it safe. When we face anything scary in life, we must seriously ask ourselves: what’s the worst

Gregory, in an attempt to run (pun intended) from his feeling of sadness that Vinny moved away, decided to do an unsupported 50-mile ultramarathon, which means he just ran 50 miles out of sheer audacity. Tune in to hear about Vinny's adventure in Japan and Gregory's grueling journey into the pain cave. In classic Dare to

You must live a story worth telling. That doesn't mean you have to climb Mt. Everest wearing a speedo at the age of twelve or bicep wrestle a shark in the Galapagos; it means you are consistently doing things that excite you. Whether it's working on projects that align with your passions or actually climbing Mt. Everest in a speedo—all that matters is that you are living a life you're proud of. Everything that happens is part of your story. It's often hard to see that in the moment. Yet all you

You know the hero’s journey: the ancient myth where the hero leaves home, embraces the unknown, slays the dragon, and returns home an altered soul—battered, bruised, triumphant. Now it’s time to embark on your own. If you think the hero’s journey is reserved for fairy tales and blockbusters, think again. Every human being is called to live an extraordinary life, yet few answer the call. It’s the inspiration that strikes us externally and internally—to move to another country, set out on a new

So often we believe some future moment will make us happy. Because of this, we lose sight of what’s right in front of us. We lose touch with what surrounds us. We disconnect from reality, our sense of self, and one another. The present moment can be tough. But quite frankly, it’s the only thing we have. What are we giving up by waiting? This is it. This is the moment you’ve been waiting for. The silent moments hold the answers, those that fill the empty space which we seldom stop moving to
