#43 - It’s OK to Have Short Hair, Not be Vegan, and Buy a House

Ep. 43

"No man ever steps into the same river twice, for it's not the same river, and he's not the same man." - Heraclitus


Almost three years ago, we started the Soul Brew Podcast. It was shortly after a period when the entire world came to a standstill due to COVID-19.


A time that forced us to reevaluate many things, including our life choices. Around that time we began to openly explore where we were in life. Stephen, who had just completed his travels, was a very different man back then. In this podcast, we talk about life's changes, how it's okay to change opinions, and, to some degree, how it's necessary for growth. If we cling to the same narrative, we refuse to evolve, grow, and develop. This episode recaps Stephen's growth, development, and choices in life to date. It's a great conversation to have with friends and family to reflect on how much you've grown and developed over the past years. What has happened in your life since COVID-19?

  • 46. #46 - I Ain't Worried

    47:08
    I Ain't Worried (is a banger of a tune for a start) is one of those episodes where the lads take a topic and go on tangents here and there trying to figure out why they often worry, where it gets them and what it prevents them from achieving at times. They discuss one of their favourite quotes “Don't think. Just do,” and how such a simple phrase from a Tom Cruise film can profoundly impact making decisions both big and small. Are we obsessed with productivity and making the "right" decision. Grab yourself a brew and join in the conversation with someone else.If you would like to support the podcast please Buy us a Coffee or check out our social media channels to purchase our new Coffee Tumblrs.Instagram: @soulbrewpodcastFacebook: @soulbrewpodcastTik Tok: @soulbrewpodcastTwitter: @soulrewpodcastEmail: soulbrewpodcast@gmail.com
