The Elias Moreira Podcast

Trying to optimize everything makes it actually less optimal. How I tried to optimize my sleep, and it became worse. Spending New Year's alone, what will it be like? Learning Polish is hard. Gym goers that piss me off and more...

In this episode, I update you on what has happened recently, how I moved to Poland to start my new job at the Wroclaw Philharmonic, and my honest opinion on what it's like to live in Poland. How I went to Las Vegas to play in The Sphere (The most expensive concert hall in the world). How challenging it is to play in an orchestra, and what my struggles and wins have been—my progress in the gym and practice routine. Enjoy!

I never thought this day would come — performing at Tomorrowland with the Symphony of Unity.In this episode, I share how it felt, how I prepared, and how the festival touched me on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level… And what it was like for me to stand in front of 15,000 people.

You don’t have to choose between being cool or being deep. There’s this myth that if you’re that person who doesn’t give a fuck, you can’t also be thoughtful or intellectual—that you’re either the wild one or the wise one. But in this episode, we break that illusion. Let’s talk about how confidence, edge, and introspection can actually go hand in hand—and why being smart doesn’t make you any less of a badass.

It happened... after hustling hard these past months and applying for every audition I was physically able to attend, I won my first audition for an Academy position at the Symphony Orchestra of Münster, Germany. In this episode, I describe what I went through and what I learned from having to constantly travel, get rejected, try it again, advance into the following rounds, and so on. My hunger for more success has increased, and winning this has sparked a deep desire within me to do more auditions. If you are also doing auditions at the moment I hope you find this captivating. Enjoy!

This past week, I had a revelation that changed my perception of reality. I left my smartphone at home. Nothing special, right? But then I did it again and again. After three days, something happened. I started to feel peace. I felt free from all negative emotions. I still cannot believe it, but I haven't felt that happy and free since I was 15 years old. Now I'm 27. Gen Z has been imprisoned by the screens, and lost a sense of what reality should feel like. We are not supposed to feel anxious and depressed all the time as we do at the moment. We need to find our way back to being human. And there is a way. Leave your phone at home.

In this solo episode I share with you what it's like to spend multiple hours isolated in a practicing room. What it's like to teach 20+ students every week. My upcoming expedition plan to the Amazon forest, and why I started investing in camera gear. Also by the end I touch on a very concerning topic that affects my generation (Gen Z), how smartphones have hijacked our brains and how we are no longer connected to the world. I hope you find this episode captivating.

In this episode, Zack Michael, a Psychotherapist and Mindset Coach, joins me. We discuss topics like how to change certain aspects of your personality and what it takes to change.
