302: [HT Special] Epitome Anatomy: Artificial Intelligence - The Cat's Out of the Bag
Welcome to Human Thesaurus EPITOME ANATOMY. This time, we tackle a word or several keywords that affect our lives to shape, distort, attract, dispel, and meditate, among other facets of human emotions and observations.
Our keyword for this first special episode is ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. I will have a casual yet satisfying conversation about our AI perspectives while taking it to practical, layperson's terms with my returning guest from the last season, our whiz kid, the human AI Ray Chang. Also joining us is my guy BFF Jeroen Baron from Arnhem, The Netherlands, who is a full-time teacher at HAN University of Applied Sciences. We will lay them out based on our career and life experiences and note that this will focus on practical everyday people application. This is my first multi-guest on this podcast, and I am adrenalised to do this. Grab your drink of choice, and join the eavesdropping.
301: Asela's Diegesis of a Poet's Life
There's an inevitable power to be seen in some people surrounding us. Asela is one of these people. She is a highly dedicated, whimsical and thoughtful poet with compassion for cultures and diversity in literature. Join the eavesdropping and learn about her big news and a brilliant retirement plan.
207: Ben's Ultra-Shuffling Diesel Engine
As your friendships blossom, there are moments where you share a peal of laughter and then some serious "getting-to-know" questions to dig deeper into your friend's thoughts and angles that you may not have yet seen. Ben's a go-getter with such an effervescent personality. Join the eavesdropping on our conversation about a delirious injury that teaches about life and then some.
206: Min's Undebatable Multi-Prowess
I describe Min as a contradiction of sorts in a good way. She offers complexity to her career and life which keeps her a fascinating person to get to know as my new friend. She was a world-ranked varsity debater and a public figure, with one surprising expertise that breaks her preen stereotype. Join the eavesdropping to enjoy another lesson about words connected to humanity.
205: Ray's Cross-pollinating Dad Brain
Circumstances change a person. Ray's relentless spirit is still mighty intact, yet becoming a father enhanced his perspectives differently - from being a restless robot to a sleepless robot with a knack for raising his biological clone-daughter. Listen to our conversation talking about life infused in science and heart, plus how we can tackle climate change.
204: Brian's Pansophical Syllabus
As humans, we roll with the punches and keep looking for somewhere to roll. Brian has a mind like a sponge, box like there's no tomorrow, and once made beauty products in his own bedroom to sell. He's a lawyer, by the way. In this episode, we'll hear a Spanish intrusion, plus peals of laughter. Join and eavesdrop with us.
203: Daphne's Load Bearing Surf Beam
Some people can wear many hats and make the most out of them at each opportunity. That's Daphne. In this episode, she is finally ready to recount and share her near-death experience with her loved ones that occurred a few months ago. This conversation made me cry on record (not a hot mess moment, though!), which I must allow myself to do. Join the eavesdropping.
202: Tania's Rock, Paper and Scissors
Tania is a modern-day explorer. She toils and braves the demanding world of career soul-searching and ultimately takes the plunge to change from two highly different careers. Her strength to acknowledge sensitivities for everyone around her, balancing it with choosing one's self to value, is an asset I truly admire in this fiery woman. Eavesdrop on our earnest conversation as we explore the synonyms we describe and their connection to each guest, this time with Tania.
201: Patton's Journey Across Middle-earth
Patton is the Orlando Bloom of the Philippines, as his Facebook fans acclaimed when Lord of the Rings came out. The best part is that he embraced it all while pursuing different angles in the world of arts and creatives. He's a relentless tech entrepreneur, not trying to fit in, but carving out his definitive place in his world through (geeky) movie lines that envelop his world. Join us and eavesdrop on us catching up with laughter, and more serious topics while we both recall our almost attempt to date in our 20s, and our lives ever since.

Join us as we dive deep into her psyche and realisations moving forward with the most challenging decisions she has to make for herself.

I always think of Keiran as my personal James Bond, only wiser.
