Juan Martinez-Muñoz, Screenwriter

September 21, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 41.2 MB

JMM is a screenwriter based in Massachusetts.  You should listen to this episode if you want to hear about writing. Juan gets in the weeds about his process which I find really interesting. There are a lot of parallels with his process and how engineers write code. They are both looking for the flow state where time becomes irrelevant. 

Tiana Burnett, Entrepreneur

September 16, 2020 16:00 - 48 minutes - 33.1 MB

Tiana is another Umass grad. She is currently working on three businesses.  Best place to find Tiana is probably Facebook. This is a great story about seeing opportunities instead of obstacles and a prime example of "what can I do today with the resources that I have on hand"

Shauntel Farland, Meditation Coach

September 16, 2020 16:00 - 56 minutes - 39 MB

The best place to find Shauntel is on Instagram @shauntelfarland.  Shauntel was introduced by my friend Christian Appia. She is a meditation teacher based in Costa Rica. We talk about her story, which gets heavy at times. She's experienced serious pain and challenge. I found her current disposition inspiring considering what she's been through. If you are curious about meditation, I think joining her patreon community would be a great place to start.

I also think they are solving a BIG problem (that I experience every week) in a meaningful way. Rachel can be found on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rachren1 Wethos can be found at wethos.co
