We're closing soon on 300 episode and I wanted to reflect an all the interviews that I made from 2017 until now. I've interviewed for this pod (that was initially called "The Dreamers' Disease") 100+ artists and creatives and I learned a lot from it. I've had known musicians like Wretch 32, Gabrielle Aplin, Sinead Harnett, Tom Grennan, Sam Tompkins. We've talked about depression, adhd, mindfulness routines, what we pass on to our sons. I've talked to the famous podcaster Dr. Rangan Chatterjee and he remembered the pain of losing his father and how that changed his life. I've even had the pleasure to speak even to Jerome Flynn, which famously portrayed Bronn in the TV show Game Of Thrones, and with him we had a deep chat about acting, art and the struggle of many people living in today's world.  I feel grateful to have had all these amazing interviews here.

The TRUTH Behind Extraordinary Results. Hello dear listeners, welcome to another episode of In The Moment with Alex Manzi! I'm your friendly neighborhood mind sherpa. I was thinking recently that... most people see some extraordinary results, achievements, and think that they're something supernatural. Out of this world. In fact, extraordinary. I had the same feeling with a friend of mine that recently ran a marathon. To me it seemed impossible. But... is it true? Because I've found out... these extraordinary results are often a result of... very ordinary actions, repeated consistently. Let me explain.  00:00 Intro  00:55 Extraordinary results 01:47 Example no. 1 (marathon) 02:35 Example no. 2 (famous coaches) 04:12 Example no. 3 (clothing business) 05:00 Example no. 4 (relationships) 06:06 Example no. 5 (health) 07:10 My book.

WAITING VS CREATING: How Embracing Action Has Changed My Life. There's a substantial difference between living while waiting and living with creating. I spent many years of my life waiting. Waiting for something to happen, for my business to grow, for myself to change in someone better. And I was frustrated. Then I understood how creating, action, that is the key to actually changing your life. In this video I'll address different real life examples of what I mean by that.  00:00 Intro 00:55 Waiting Vs Creating 02:08 I spent years waiting 06:29 My business grew from nothing 07:05 The line between waiting and creating 08:20 Frustration Vs Excitement What do you think?

From Burnout To Breakthrough: The Power Of Taking A Break. Are you sure you're taking the quality Time Out that you need? I, for one, was convinced that was resting when actually... what happened was: I was spending all my free time thinking about the tasks I needed to do during my Time In.

I can't believe it was 10 years ago when I was living constantly in depression. Like a fish in the sea, I didn't know what water is...

And here we go dreamers, this is Alex, back with a new episode and... here I want to tell the story of how I fell in love with the creative process. Believe it or not, Lego, and in particular building a pirate ship of 909 pieces (yes, not really 1,000 but that looks better in the title LOL) made me realize that the end goal we often have in mind when we want something... it's just not as good as enjoying the process of building it, of doing it, of being it.  00:00 Intro 02:07 It was frustrating 04:04 What Lego taught me 09:07 Learning to love the process 11:49 The end destination What do you think?
