Pushen Boundaries - Episodes

Pushen Boundaries - Episodes

A weekly show for listeners to hear stories and conversations that allow us to explore subtle events and interesting social interactions too often ignored. These stories are meant to arouse the emotions of listeners towards self-improvement and consider how our behaviors impact others. There have been many moments in my life where I have wanted to share interesting stories that can be used by others to improve their own lives. With 27 years of educating youth and adults, I would like to share topics with you that will push against social norms and shift your mindset to consider alternative views. Sometimes, the best advice can be collected from the stories of others.

How often do you find yourself looking back instead of looking forward? When I think about those moments, I think about drivers who drive forward while looking in the rearview mirror. Of course, this type of behavior can be problematic.

Post-pandemic, we have lots to think about. Many of us have realized that we have not been living in the moment and taking the short time we have on earth for granted. Listen to this monologue and reflect on your present moments to determine what is necessary anymore.

This book club was founded in 2021 with a group of men I am connected to throughout various journeys in my life.
