Road to 30.1: EP 10 - Breaking into the PM Role
Hello guys! It's been a while since I last uploaded an Episode that I actually lost track of my episode count. XD So, apologies for wrong count in the actual episode. Anyways, much like my End of the Road episode last year. This is the last episode for this year's season. Today is my birthday, and I have reached the Road to 31 goal. It hasn't been an easy ride. Lots of life changes occured throughout the year.  In this episode, I shared about my most recent achievement. I transitioned from my role as a Customer Service Agent to a Product Manager role. I shared how it happened, and what my mindset was going into the role. And I am sharing a few tips that I have if you have a similar experience or about to go through a similar one. I hope you enjoy! and see you all in the future episodes for Road to 30.2. Cheers! Road to Thirty est. 2021

Being a parent is the best thing that could happen to a person. But with it comes great responsibility and a lot of frustrations. It's easily one of the most challenging things to do. Without proper preparation, planning, and knowledge, you can easily commit a lot of mistakes in the process of raising your child.  In this episode, I shared my experience during my kid's first week at school. By no means was it an easy one, but with a few steps, you can make both yours and your child's experience better. Here's some takeaway points in this episode:  -Explain the routines of preschool -Meet the teacher and visit the school beforehand -Keep a positive mindset -Don't be a Ninja -Never make comparisons If you are struggling with the same things that I am, feel free to reach out to me via my Anchor page. anchor.fm/roadto30 You can also reach out via Clever.fm, and start a discussion for this episode.

Road to 30.1: EP 5 - Post Elections Chat with Franz Merida (On Point Podcast)
I'm back with another Episode about the elections. With the recently concluded elections, we have been surprised (for some, maybe not) by the results of the elections. But be that as it may, we respect the results, but we should be mindful and vigilant of what's to come.  Joining me in this episode is the host and author of the On Point Podcast, Sir Franz Merida. We discussed the following things in this episode:  - Life as a Political Science Student. (Especially MATH) - Post Graduation challenges. - Life as an Educator during the Pandemic. - The education system and what needs to be strengthened.  - Election Results - The revolutionary volunteerism in the recent campaigns. - Mis/Disinformation - A call to action moving forward, as we navigate towards a new administration. As a  takeaway point in this episode, we should all be prepared and willing to use our platforms to spread facts, and use all our resources to fight and campaign against fake news and misinformation. (This episode is a mix between Filipino and English.) For any comments, reactions, suggestions, or any thoughts that you would want to share, please don't hesitate to send us an audio message in anchor.fm/roadto30. Also, please don't forget to follow and share, the On Point Podcast by Franz Merida.  Road to Thirty, est. 2021

Road to 30.1: EP 4 - Elections 2K22
Election day is fast approaching. To borrow a line from Le's Miserables, " Tomorrow we'll discover what our God in heaven has in store, One more dawn, one more day, One day more" In this episode, I talked about the following points:  - Presidential Qualifications as written in the Constitution. - Surveys, and the danger it poses. - Popularity Politics - War against misinformation and Fake News. - The call for more Political Awareness in our Education system. Main takeaway for this episode: Let's give our future generations a chance for a reboot. We need clean and trustworthy governance. Out with the old, in with the new. My preferred candidate may not win, but let us support the candidate who wins together. The real unity is not with the candidates who banded up together for the campaign, but real unity starts after the elections.  Disclaimer: This episode is highly opinionated, and if it offends you because it is contrary to your beliefs, then thank you for still listening. Lol.
