The Yes Theory Podcast

Pedro Paiva, Head of Operations at Yes Theory, talks about his journey with the team and the challenges they faced. They discuss finding purpose, choosing a career path, the impact of being creators on mental health, and the importance of balance and value in life.

Multiple #1 New York Times best-selling author, Mark Manson, brings his insights on change, creativity, and dealing with major identity shifts. They also discuss the power of non-neediness in relationships and creativity, fear of being canceled as a content creator, and the toll of writing a book on the author's health. They explore change and personal identity, emphasizing the benefits of broad self-definition.

The host reflects on their journey with Yes Theory, their struggles with mental health, and their decision to step away from hosting videos. They reunite with a friend to write a book together, reflect on their transformative friendship and completing the manuscript. They also discuss reconnecting with old friends, feeling magic on recent trips, and announcing their new last name and book pre-order.

While we often seek discomfort, sometimes, it finds us. Our internal discomforts over the course of our careers have shaped who we are and how we deal with situations at hand. On today’s episode, we bring on our close friend, Eric Tabach. Eric, like many of us, has gone through his own internal discomforts over this past year and beyond that have overall landed him in a better place. So stick with us to hear more about the internal conflicts that we have faced this year and how we turn these discomforts into positive attributes in our collective lives. 

Growing older is definitely an odd feeling. One moment we’re young 21 year olds starting up a YouTube channel, and then we seemingly blink and six years have flown by. On today’s episode we bring on the one and only, Tommy Dajer. Tommy is Matt’s little brother and has grown up with us along our journey of saying yes. So join us on this episode as we discuss our experiences growing up in Yes Theory.

Mentors can be a huge driving force in how we carry out our life’s path. From teachers to coaches, parents and even friends, having someone to look to for guidance can help to set you on the right path with clarity and confidence. On today’s episode we bring on one of Ammar’s mentors, Maha Abouelenein. Maha is a fellow podcast host and one of the most fearless networkers we have ever met. So stick around to learn a bit more about how we choose our mentors, what they mean to us, and why they are so invaluable to our success.

Spirituality is a convoluted subject. With Ammar being raised as a Muslim and myself being raised mainly agnostic, we had two extremely different experiences growing up with religion. On today’s episode, we are also joined by Rotana Tarabzouni. Rotana was raised under Sharia law in Saudi Arabia and brings her own unique perspective to the table for this conversation. So join us today as we explore religion, faith and spirituality.

If you know Yes Theory, you know that we love to travel. On this episode we sit down with Lexie Alford. Lexie is the Guinness Book World Record holder for being the youngest person to travel to every country, and she has some amazing stories to share along with her journey. So join us to hear more about how getting out of your comfort zone can lead you to some of the most amazing experiences that life has to offer.
