In this episode, I’m talking about learning to stop comparing who I am today to who I used to be. Whether it’s fitness, comedy, health, work, or anything else, our relationship with the things we love is going to change — and that doesn’t mean we’ve failed. After everything my body has put me through over the last year, I’m trying to listen to what it needs now, appreciate what I can do today, and build forward from here instead of constantly looking backward. So here's a reminder that it's okay to Learn from Your Past Self...and Move Forward.

Here's a movie review for David Robert Mitchell's The End of Oak Street (2026).

I liked it! If you want to see a fun sci fi family drama blockbuster type thing, go check it out! And/or listen to this and know more about it before choosing to see it or not.

Plus an announcement about an upcoming movie review project I'm starting.

Have a good one!

This week, I’m keeping it simple: make one choice and take one action. You don’t have to completely change your life today—you can write one sentence, walk around the block, send one email, take a shower, or do one small thing that helps Future You. I also got a pretty literal reminder of this when, while thinking about my goal of making a movie, I got a text asking me to come help make one. Sometimes the life you say you want is already inviting you in—you just have to say yes and take the next step.
