Episode 170. Why You Can Always Have A 2nd (Or 3rd) Act
The omerisms podcast
From a young age, we're stuck on this idea that we have to get everything right, right from the start. Because you never get a second chance to make a first impression.

Episode 169. New Years And Starting Again
The omerisms podcast
It's that time when we start planning our resolutions for the New Year. At the same time, there's also a sense of concern inherent in some of us - the sense that we're not really going to keep at it, given our past behaviors, so what's the point? As I discuss in today's episode, we should do it anyway, because our false starts in the past provide the education and fuel for us to be successful in the future.

Episode 166. Keeping Up With The Joneses
The omerisms podcast
Social media provides us with a very specific idea of what "the" life is. There's no shortage of influencers who showcase how glamorous their everyday life is.

Episode 165. "What do you think happens to us when we die?"

Episode 164. "IF SOME REGARD YOU AS IMPORTANT, DISTRUST YOURSELF"
The omerisms podcast
It's tempting, when we've achieved some measure of success, to believe that we've arrived.

info_outlineWhenever I go to Karachi, I'm amazed by how the city functions and how people go about their daily lives, especially when so much we take for granted in the west, just doesn't exist in the same way over there.
But, as I discuss in today's episode, people get on with things. They live their lives. Because it isn't just about what's around us and the way things are, it's about our own will.
