Join me and my two good friends Mike Manzinger and Yevgen San-Fost in the beautiful Windy City of Chicago, Illinois. Mike, Yevgen and I met back in 2017 while studying abroad in Bergen, Norway.
We took this opportunity to reminisce about our experiences abroad in terms of meeting new people, stepping out of our comfort zones, and traveling to places we would never have thought we’d visit. We also chat about observing and respecting cross-cultural differences, going for crazy hikes, and maintaining relationships with those we care about.
We also dive a little bit into our experiences at business school, career options and management, as well as our love for visiting new cities like we did here in Chicago and Ann Arbor Michigan to watch a college football game.
Remember, it’s not that Deep!

This week, I sit down with my close friends Riyan, who goes by I.Y. and Omid, who goes by Marco Finesse. I.Y. is an up and coming rapper/musical artist from the Ottawa area and Marco is a music producer. We had a lot of fun in this conversation as we talked about them chasing their creative passions together.

We explore other topics as well such as being comfortable being vulnerable, the impact of social media, the influence of certain artists on music today, as well as some funny stories along the way.

Join me as I sit down with my good friend Tyrone Pierre. Tyrone is an extremely multifaceted young man who is currently a professional football player in the CFL, a musical artist, a fashion designer, a social media influencer, a model, philosopher and so much more… What makes him special, however, is that he refuses to adopt any of those labels as who he is as a person - you never know what he’ll do next.
We had a fun conversation about our passion for football and the risks associated with the sport, we talk about creativity and expressing yourself, we express our gratitude for our parents’ sacrifices and how we need to be doing so much more. We also get into deeper topics such as the importance of adaptability, fostering positive energy, surrounding yourself with people who bring out the best in you, and much more.

Brandon Smith | Turning Adversity Into Positivity | It's Not That Deep Podcast Episode 4
Join me as I sit down with Brandon Smith. Brandon and I share a long history of playing football together and continue to do so to this day! We talk about our love and passion for sports, specifically american football, but we also dive deep into the impact injuries can have on the lives of aspiring professional athletes. We chat about overcoming roadblocks and adversity by channeling our love for sports into building something positive that can have an impact on future generations.
This conversation went beyond sports as we discuss taking steps out of one's comfort zone to gain independence, "adulting", traveling abroad and outside of your home town, as well as being able to have civil discussions and understanding the perspective of people you may not necessarily agree with.
I really enjoyed our talk and if you did you, hit the "LIKE" button, comment "DEEP" below and smash that SUBSCRIBE button if you don't want to miss out on more content like this.
