In this episode my cousin Vernon is back once again to have a conversation. This was/is the final convo between us here on the podcast as I will be wrapping up the podcast in the near future. But until then, this episode is a reminder to stay focused on the present. Too many times it is easy to think too much about the past or the future and then we lose track of what is happening right now. In addition to that, we talk about how important it is to be in control of the way you feel and being the boss of your emotions. Do enjoy and stay blessed.

In this episode I have a conversation with Dr. Lila Estephan who is one of the core founders of the Public Health Alliance of Belize. One of their main research topics is that of tobacco. When we think of tobacco, more often that not we only think about the way in which it affects the physical health of the smokers and second-hand smokers. In reality, there is so much more to tobacco, hence the reason why this year's theme for World No Tobacco Day (May 31) was Grow Food, Not Tobacco. We dive a bit into the other ways in which it affects the world on a whole, ranging from deforestation to mental health.

In this episode I have a conversation with William Murillo, a powerlifter from Belmopan. He is going to participate in the upcoming NAPF competition in the Cayman Islands in August 2023. We dive into how covid and quarantine led him to putting on a lot of weight. He was convinced to join a gym to simply lose weight but that took on a life of itself and led him to competing nationally and then internationally for powerlifting.

This is now part 4 of Eddy Live x Planet Josh, twice on both shows. In this episode I once again chop it up with Eddy Gonzalez, the owner of Eddy's Cantina, a restaurant in Taipei and also the host of the Eddy Live show. Doing an episode with a podcaster always seems to bring out endless talking on so many different topics. In this episode we touch on the transition you go through when moving to Taiwan, mine being back in 2018 and Eddy's being around 20 years ago. Fast forward through all that, he talks about what it's like to raise his daughter (a mixed child) in the Taiwanese culture that seems to put a lot on pressure on kids in regards to school and extra curricular activities. As expected, we had to dive into both our transitions from being shy people to hosting our very own podcast shows. Along with that comes the challenges of content creation and the pet peeves that we have in regards to having a podcast and with the guests have. As always this was a great conversation with Eddy, be on the lookout for more to come between our shows and maybe something else may arise.
