Leeet’s get it!!!

Today’s episode is all about the one thing we can’t ever get enough from, which is money! We all want to be rich, but very few of us will actually become rich. But more importantly, what does it even mean “to be rich”? When can we call someone rich and also, what is the real value of money in today’s rapidly evolving world? Like to find out? Leeet’s get it!
Ep. 41 – Motivation Fiasco
Don’t you just love it when you’re looking for motivation and you finally land on that new video of Denzel Washington giving a speech at Harvard University? I bet you do. Moreover, you probably love it so much that you rely on it a little bit too frequently to get things done. In today’s episode, I want to address some of the issues I encounter with motivation and the false sense of accomplishment that often comes with it. Wanna find out more? Leeet’s get it!
Ep. 40 – Thou shall make sacrifices
I believe that on our path to success, one of the difficulties we all have to face at some point or another is that of sacrifice. Intuitively we know this. Yet, for some reason, most of us have no clue how to grasp this notion and make the sacrifice we’re supposed to be making, and that is exactly what I will be talking about out today. You ready? Leet’s get it!
Ep. 39 – No more fake success
Life is what you make of it, but if what you make of it is built on fake success, then by default it won’t give you any sense of satisfaction. Learning to differentiate real success from fake success in a an age that is more digitally social, but socially disconnected than ever, I think it’s extremely important to understand and question the motives behind your fuel to succeed. Wanna find out what that could be, then stick with me on this one. Leet’s get it!
Ep. 38 – Time to get out
In today’s episode, I’d like to address our favorite place in the world to be in, namely: the comfort zone. How do we get there and more importantly, how can we get out of it asap? There are many reasons why one can get stuck in the comfort zone and I personally believe that questioning what those reason could be, can potentially give you the head start you were looking for. Wanna find out more? Then let’s get it!
Ep. 37 – No more excuses!
We all go through stuff. We all have circumstances in our lives that we would rather not have. The question, however, is: what are you going to do about it? In today’s episode, I would like to encourage you to stop making excuses. To stop using that what you’re going through as an excuse for not executing, but instead, to look for ways to use it as a strength, rather than a weakness. Are you with me? Leeet’s get it!
Ep. 36 – Be the change
Everybody wants change, but nobody wants to change. In today’s episode however, I would like to talk about the best way you can help someone you love. Very often, we try to enforce our good intentions upon others. But as most of you probably know already, that usually backfires more than we could ever imagine. So, what is the best way to help the people we love? Wanna find out? Leeet’s get it.
Ep. 35 – Ain’t such a thing as perfect
In today’s episode, I would like to discuss the concept of perfectionism. What does it actually mean to be perfectionist? Is it a good thing, is it a bad thing? For such a long time, I considered myself to be a perfectionist, but it wasn’t until that long ago that I realized what it truly meant for me to be one and whether or not I had to do something about it….Wanna find out? Leeet’s get it!
Ep. 34 – Kindness is the remedy
With all the turmoil that is going on in the world right now, I decided to dedicate this episode to the controversial topic of racism and why I believe that kindness is the remedy for the many challenges our world is facing today. That is not to say that there aren’t deeply-rooted underlying systemic problems that need to be addressed politically, but it is to say that on the individual level – as difficult as it may seem – kindness and empathy can resolve many of the negative emotions so many of us are using as an outlet right now….Trust me, I get it….So let’s get it….
Ep. 33 – Double-check your fuel
In my many years of figuring out my blueprint, I’ve often come to notice that many of the things I was trying to pursue, I was pursuing them for the wrong reason. In this episode today, I would like to explain why just ”doing the right thing” isn’t enough. We need to learn to do the right thing for the right reasons. In other words, we have to double-check our fuel that is attempting to move us forward. Better get to it I guess…
Ep. 32 – Challenge the universe
So, Joe Rogan just signed a contract with Spotify for a whopping 100 million dollars, an astronomical amount for a podcaster. However, the guy is obviously so much more than just that. How did he get there? Well, by a lot of hard work, dedication and above all consistency, three crucial elements any given person will need to defy the odds and overcome the challenges of the universe. I guess my question really boils down to: how are you challenging the universe? Only one way to find out. Leeet’s get it.
Ep. 31 – Dude, stop chasing
Today’s episode is about dating and relationships. More specifically, it’s about why most guys are so caught up with chasing women instead of attracting them. What are some of the driving mechanisms behind this and more importantly, what can you do as a guy to drastically improve the outcome? Fellas, this one is for you, leeet’s get it….
Ep. 30 – Inner dialogues yooo
Yes! Episode 30 already! In today’s episode I would like to address the question ”who are you?”. Are you ‘you’ or are you the voice that is constantly talking to you? Everyday we’re engaged in the inner dialogues we’re constantly having with ourselves. So which of the two are we really? Wanna find out? Leeet’s get it!!!
Ep. 29 – Good luck, bad luck
In today’s episode I would like to address the following question: is there such a thing as good luck or bad luck, or is there only such a thing as perspective. It is easy to label something as good or bad in the short term, but have you ever wondered about the impact an outcome can have in the long term? Let’s find out….
Ep. 28 – Bad news travels fast
In today’s episode I would like to talk about reputation. Why is it so important to safeguard your integrity at all costs? I decided to record this episode as an opposing sound to episode 25 ”Dealing with FOPO”, cause even though you don’t want to care about other people’s opinions, you definitely DO want to care about your reputation. You ready for this? leeet’s get it!
Ep. 27 – Just be
Ever wondered what it means to just be? In today’s episode, I would like to discuss the coping mechanisms we use when it comes to failure. How do we look at failure and how could we approach it differently, especially during these times of crisis? Like to find out? Leeet’s get it.
Ep. 26 – A pro in procrastination
Are you one of those people that knows what they should be doing, but you keep postponing it for as long as you possibly can? Do you consider yourself a pro in procrastination? Then this episode is for you. Especially now, in a time of crisis, there is no better moment to reflect on what you should do and take massive action on it. In this episode, I would like to go a bit deeper on why we procrastinate and what it is that you can do to overcome the obstacles, so you can start living a more meaningful and purposeful life. You ready? Leeet’s get it!
Ep. 25 – Dealing with FOPO
FOPO, we all deal with it at one point or another. Some people are dealing with the Fear of Other People’s Opinions on an ongoing basis, while others are barely concerned with it. What does it mean to have FOPO and more importantly, what’s the best way to tackle it? Let’s find out…
Ep. 24 – One relationship, three lives
I think we can all agree we’re living in some very strange times. For many of us, these strange times will pose a lot of difficult challenges, especially when it comes to our intimate relationships. With all the pressure of being forced to stay at home during times of extreme uncertainty, many relationships will undoubtedly be put under pressure. In today’s episode, I would like to elaborate on how to survive a relationship during a period of crisis. What are the thing you can and should do and more importantly, what not?! So, without any further ado, leeeet’s get it.
Ep. 23 – And then there was time

Ep. 21 – Check your default settings
So, for a long time, I’ve been fascinated by what really drives our behaviour. Why do we respond to certain thing in a certain way, knowing that there are better ways to go about it? In this episode, I would like to elaborate on the default settings of happiness and more specifically, the abundance and scarcity mindset. Care to know more?! Leeeet’s get it!!!
Ep. 20 – The power of consistency
I think that the path to success consists out many characteristics, such as discipline, hard work, intelligence and to an extent maybe even luck. However, I genuinely believe that the one that truly separates the great from the good is understanding the power of consistency. In this episode, I would like to elaborate on this characteristic. What does it truly mean to be consistent and more importantly, how do you decide when to stay consistent and when to give up and move on to the next thing. Let’s find out….
Ep. 19 – Analysis Paralysis
Overthinking…We all do it at one point or another. I know that I have been guilty of it more than I can remember. In this episode, I would like to share my viewpoints on this topic. I would like to talk about why overthinking, more often than not, leads to paralysis and more importantly, what you can do to prevent it from happening again in the future. You ready for this?! Leeeet’s get it!
Ep. 18 – Go through it, not around it
In a world that is trying so hard to help us forget our pain, I would like to remind you that pain isn’t always necessarily a bad thing. Moreover, in order for us to grow as human beings, pain is inevitable, as it is in those painful moments that we can learn our biggest lessons. Heartbreaks, failure, judgement, rejection…They’re all just part of the process and the only way to deal with them is by understanding that the process is to go through it, not around it…
Ep. 17 – The happiness muscle
Is happiness a given or a skill? That’s exactly what I would like to discuss in this episode. We all have something that I would like to call the happiness muscle.

Ep. 16 – YOLO
After the tragic accident of Kobe Bryant last Sunday, I would like to dedicate this episode to him.

In this episode I would like to talk about some of the lessons I’ve learned growing up with Kobe and also how we only have one at bat in life. Because this tragedy proves it ones again: growing old is a false assumption…Leeeeet’s get it.
Ep. 15 – Thou shall not judge
In this episode, I would like to discuss how judging other people influences your life. I believe that judging is also a reflection of how we look at ourselves. Our self-image is always trying to maintain its integrity and when we judge others – be it positive or negative – we are setting ourselves up for failure in the long run. Don’t believe me?! Let me explain why…
Ep. 14 – Put on some shades
Ever wondered what the best way would be to deal with the haters?

The first episode of a new decade. Time to talk about real stuff! In this episode, I would like to talk about our natural instinct to feel guilty whenever we slip up. However, it’s been proven that feelings of guilt usually tend to lead to more guilt and thus more procrastination. What you should do instead?! Well, check out this freshly new podcast and you will find out soon…
Ep. 11 – Why wait?!
Since this will be the final episode of 2019, I decided to make a quick podcast on my viewpoints on new year’s resolutions and why I personally think they’re total BS. Bare with me on this one, because even though the message may be unpopular, I can guarantee you that the intention is real…
Ep. 10 – Back to square one
Episode 10 and still going hard! In this special episode, I would like to talk about whether being back to square one is a good or a bad thing.

I’d like you to hear me out on this one, because I’m really curious if this message will resonate with you. So as usual, leeeet’s get it!!!
Ep. 9 – Who am I?!
Hello guys, in this episode I would like to dive a bit deeper into the topic of ‘identity’. More specifically, I would like to elaborate on whether our identities are shaped through a process of self-discovery or self-creation. Just to be clear, this episode will definitely be a bit more complex than usual, but then again, so are our identities…Are you ready?! Leeet’s get it!
Ep. 8 – Stand out homie!
To fit in or to stand out? That’s the question. In a world that tries so hard to put us in a box, the act of standing out takes more courage than it ever did before. Yet, I personally believe that having the courage to do so, is the quickest way to happiness. Wanna know why? Make sure to tune in on yet another episode of the Blueprint Podcast…
Ep. 7 – The confidence game
Everyone would like to be more confident. There’s no doubt about it. Some of us are extremely confident in one area of our life, just to find out that quite the opposite is true in another area. However, I don’t believe that confidence is something you’re either inherently born with or not. In fact, I believe that confidence is a skill that can be developed over time and consistent practice. In this episode, I would like to talk about how to develop that skill and which mindset it requires to win the confidence game. You ready?! Leeeeeet’s get it!
Ep. 6 – Choose your amigos wisely
Have you ever heard of the sentence ‘’ You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with’’? Although it may sound cliché, I would like to explain how this sentence has literally changed my life forever. Success leaves clues, but moreover, it’s contagious. The moment you see the possibilities, is the moment you can no longer unsee it. So, who are your friends? What are they up to, and more importantly, how do they inspire you to become the best version of yourself? Let’s find out…
Ep. 5 – The inside job
In today’s episode, I would like to elaborate on our perception of happiness and the most common misconceptions around it. I believe that our search for happiness is an inside job, which in my opinion, has very little to do with the outer world. Check out this episode if you’d like to know why…
Ep. 4 – Leave the place with grace
Hi there and welcome back to yet another episode of the Blueprint Podcast! You must be wondering what I’m going to talk about in this one. Well, let me tell you. The title of today’s episode is based one of my proxies I use anytime I have to deal with rejection. To be more specific, ‘’Leave the place with grace’’ is my personal way of reminding myself that somethings (or some people for that matter) just ain’t worth stressing over, so instead of trying to hold on to it, I rather just let go and leave the place with grace, and I hope that after today, you will be able to do so as well…
Ep. 3 – Unleash the cat in you
Cats, cats, cats. Some of us may love them, others may hate them, but I can guarantee you that we can all learn something from them. In this episode, I would like to elaborate on the universal eccentric behavior these little fluffy animals demonstrate across the globe and what we can learn from it. From living in the present moment to knowing your self-worth, cats seem to be the living example of how we should go through life…
Ep. 2 – Embrace your inner child
So, after an interesting 1st episode last week, I decided to go a bit in a different direction for this one. In this episode I’d like to explain why we should all stop taking things so seriously and why we should start embracing our inner child. Because in the last couple of years, I’ve come to learn that ‘little me’ actually has quite a few answers to many of the challenges I face on a daily basis. I just need to be brave enough to ask him for help. What’s more is that I’ve come to realize that my younger version has a fairly strong intuition, infinite creative imagination and a great sense of adventure, and that’s exactly why I believe that reconnecting with that little youngster could be of tremendous help in our personal path to self-actualization…
Ep. 1 – Be like Arnold
Hi guys,
Welcome to the very first episode of the Blueprint Podcast. I’m glad you made it!
Since this is the first episode, I figured it would be nice to start off with a personal touch by talking about my all-time hero, Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger himself. I’ve been looking up to Arnold since I was kid, obviously by watching some off his best action movies like Terminator and Predator. However, over the many years that I have been following him, I also learned some valuable lessons along the way that I believe are worth sharing.
You ready?! Leeeet’s get it!
