Swap Out Your Music Playlist For These 3 Spotify-Recommended Podcasts That Will Give You Tips For Success

The most important thing I learned is that success is not linear, and definitely does not come without challenges.

Recently during the day, I decided to stop listening to music and start listening to podcasts while I was doing mindless work. I've never been that big of a fan of podcasts, but I have listened to a couple of them on and off for several years. Nevertheless, Spotify recommended some pretty good ones, which I thoroughly enjoy and thought I would share with you.

1. The Goal Digger Podcast by Jenna Kutcher

This is a show hosted by marketing influencer, Jenna Kutcher, on how to build your personal brand, find your dream job, and live your best life (among other things). Her episodes generally include interviews with a variety of women that achieved their goals or are a reflection on her own journey. The most important thing I learned is that success is not linear and definitely does not come without challenges. However, we all must persevere if we want to reach our goals. Overall, Jenna's peppy voice and kind message is a great way to stay motivated for your day (and for your life).

2. The Daily Boost by Scott Smith

I find this podcast especially good for starting my mornings at work. I'll admit, I do tend to tune out some of what he says. But, I do catch the most insightful stuff! For example, this morning Scott mentioned something along the lines of "there is no elevator to success, there are only stairs." And it's true. There is no easy way to success. It's one step at a time!

3. On Being by Krista Tippett

This podcast is more about the details of life than about career motivation. To my knowledge, the host, Krista Tippett, interviews different individuals about an assortment of different areas. For example, the other day, I listened to her interview with Yo-Yo Ma, the famous cellist, about what music means to him. The content as well as the title ("Music Happens Between the Notes") of the podcast were incredibly interesting and demonstrated how differently we as humans perceive music.

I hope you give these a listen and enjoy them as much as I do.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
