Major focus on the episode was inspired by the RedBull event scheduled to happen on 12th December 2021 in Diani, where the team discussed about the balancing act between being in the, moment and being in control - or as Jamal calls it; relinquishing control. The team was graced to have in our new studios: Ken Uduny from Baobab Beach Resort and Chaxy, organizer from RedBull; mavericks who mastered the dance, in the improvisation world of having fun. They expounded on 'present awareness' which demands that Kenyans should forget all their preconceptions about Why, How and Where to have fun and completely drop their egos as they focused on the beach event at Kongo sands.
The most scary of things has so far been the 'new normal', where the discussion took lead by stating the things you can control vs those you cannot; and sticking in between the two extremes, by letting go especially when you are a peoples pleaser. The Village Elder dis shade light on understanding of what we choose to respond to and what we control especially during these emotional times of lockdowns.
Experiencing new sensations, breaking routine, enhancing self control capacities and pushing ones limits was seen as one of the elements that are increasingly becoming attractive to those who choose extreme sporting; highlighting on the fact that such sports on the basis of practice, acquires experiences and confidence, which in turn gradually reduces the perception of risk. This subjective assessment by the guests and the team on the risk results in an underestimation of objective risk.
This episode underlined the benefits of extreme sports to be that of psychosocial determinant in influencing decision making, in search for freedom in extreme sports; while also balancing bureaucracy in the tourism sector and manning the egos of those who call the shots in the industry in marketing Diani as a tourism destination.

For the last half-century, the trend has been toward later – not earlier – marriage. The median age at first marriage is now 29 for men and 26 for women, an age that has risen steadily since the 1950s. Today’s young adults marry a full six years later than their counterparts did. As marriage ages have risen, marriage has also become less common and less stable. However, the rates of sexual activity outside of marriage are higher than ever before, and out-of-wedlock births now represent about 40% of all births. If marrying young would promote happier, healthier marriages, we as a society might do well to encourage people to tie the knot as soon as they can, do you think so? However, couples who cohabit before they get married do tend to be younger, and recent research suggests it is the age of the couple when they began living together – rather than the fact they cohabited – that most strongly predicted an eventual divorce. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jay-fm/support

Young people are making hurried career decisions too early, and it’s detrimental for them as well as employers.

We all dwell on success. We are thrilled when we succeed, and we love to hear or read about stories of sucess or of successful people. But we usually forget that behind every story of success there are hundreds of instances of failure, stories of stumbling, falling and bouncing back. Joy is only the epitome of a long process of pain, sadness, and frustration. Those who do it, those who know the secret of success, have had to suffer through the toil of harsh defeat again and again, and sometimes in a state of solitude and total indifference. The world runs away from our failures, but celebrates with us on our successes. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jay-fm/support

The primary obstacles stopping you from being and living how you want are:The lack of trust you have from yourself and others; and your emotional intelligence — specifically, your ability to understand and manage your emotions, what psychologists call emotional regulation. Until you can be trusted, first by yourself, and then by others, you’ll never be who you want to be. You’ll always be living a lie. Inside, you’ll never feel clarity, congruence, or conviction. Said Mahatma Gandhi, “To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.” If you don’t have both character and competency, trust will be low. For example, you may have all the right skills, but lack integrity. Or, you may have high integrity, but lack the needed skills for a specific task.This is why confidence must be earned. A price must be paid to have confidence in yourself and others. The price is trust.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jay-fm/support

Attention is an abundant resource available to all of us. And because of its nature of being easily accessible, we tend to take it for granted. We forget that attention is as precious as life itself.We experience life by paying attention to our mind, senses, and emotions.
