The Insight Out

"No one in the gym cares about you. No one will care about what you're doing. Everyone goes there for the same mission: to be a better self and improve wherever you're coming from" (Tsoi, 2021)
Alvin "TheBuffedChipmunk" Tsoi shares his fitness journey: the humiliating yet humbling beginning, the grinding present and his mindset for the future. This episode is not about the tips on using the gym better or a "cookie cutter" plan on getting fit, but a chance for you to reassess your reason and options to begin your journey.

POETRY IN THE COV19 PANDEMIC ft. Cherie | E04

"Just write everything down - you vomit all the pain or anger out on the page, and you're like: Oh, THIS is why I'm mad." (Chun, 2021)
Cherie Chun is a fashion student that finds solace in poetry and literature. With how emotionally stressful the nCOV19 has been, poetry has made us introspective and helped us process uncovered pains. Cherie and I talk about writers' inspiration, our tastes and the courage to begin writing. This episode draws references to classic poets, contemporary films and books, and if you're willing, do look them up. Even just a glimpse could change you for the better.
