The Hoop and Hugo Podcast

Welcome to the Hoop and Hugo Podcast introduction episode! We get into our goals and drive behind putting this podcast together. If you like deeper thinking perspectives on life than you’re used to hearing, you are in the perfect place! As great friends with a rare connection to have unfiltered, multilayered, goodness in humanity driven and individualized ideas that will make you question the depths of things you thought you had figured out... PRESS PLAY!!...
Life is an unpredictable journey, yet strangely still in our control, and we’d love to have you ride with us, interact with us and sit back and enjoy our unique blend of professional and personal perspectives. Our goal is to widen your current perspectives and learn to trust your inner self over all the external influences. Only then can you have a chance to live up to your true potential which will ultimately fuel your own happiness.

We don’t have everything figured out nor do we know exactly what this podcast will turn into but you will enjoy it and grow from it, I can tell you that much!
It’s always less painful to learn from others that have made the mistakes through life experiences, so you don’t have to make the same ones yourself.

Get ready, listen closely and you will actually learn more each time you listen! Even I learned more each time I listened to it and I was in the actual conversation! Which proves how little we actually conceptualize and follow from real conversations. Keep up, rewind or pause if needed and let’s start living happier lives!!

How many times have you changed your mind or refuse to do something because you think it will make you look weird? I don’t think anyone could honestly answer that with “none”. Why is that?
Why are we so afraid of being perceived as this imaginary term “weird”? Does weird really just mean unique? What makes you unique is what separates you from being normal or average. So why is it so hard to embrace our inner weirdness with confidence?
In this episode we dive into the whole world of what it means to allow yourself to be weird and why we habitually avoid being ourselves. And what the consequences are for doing it.
Enjoy!!

We dive into many aspects masculinity and how it is “defined” in the first place. And how society tries to direct how we should behave and even what we should feel. Plus how the expectations and perceptions of masculinity actually set us up for failure and largely contribute to anxiety and depression running rampant.

The Fear of Failure is an episode where we dive into the physiological roots of where fear comes from and why we allow it to control our lives.
Why do we let the fear of failing stop us from achieving the successful goals we dream about?
Why is our identity so wrapped up in how we are perceived by others?
These are tough questions with even tougher answers some buried deep inside us. That hurt you experienced as a child is hiding behind things you have grown to fear in order to not expose it.
Time to start doing the self work to expose the fear, only then can you start to truly grow through the insecurities instead of hiding from them!
Enjoy!

Why systems in place encourage us to love to hate each other when it comes to politics in America. Where the political hate originates from both internally and externally.
The shallowness of cutting out best friends and family from your life over a simple political difference in opinion.
How your political affiliation might be stronger than your religious beliefs?
Political division: Trump vs Biden; Red vs Blue it’s all designed to pin half of us against each other. Maybe one day we can vote as simply Americans, not as divided Democrats or Republicans...
We need other options!
