Description

Tings and Things is hosted by Jonathan Mbaya and Simba Tsumba, two lifelong friends. Our Podcast transcends borders and strips away all the filters from the perfectly edited and curated lives we have become accustomed to online. As a duo, we manage to open up a platform to have real conversations that touch upon what it means to live and learn, alongside occasional guest appearances from some of the most dynamic people across industries and our Tings & Things family. We found that through our travel and adventures, our struggles as young adults were not unique to us. Tings and Things was designed to share those experiences since those were not being discussed by traditional media outlets, and alongside our back and forth banter and undeniable chemistry, we have found the perfect formula to exhibit the everyday stories of life in an everyday conversational way.

Digital nomadism has gained significant popularity among young adults in recent years. The ability to work remotely while exploring different parts of the world sounds like a dream come true. However, it also comes with its own set of joys and challenges.
“People see better than they hear” is one of our favorite sayings here at Tings and Things. What does this mean though? Sometimes instead of waiting for a lovely soliloquy, just watch how an individual behaves and that’s your answer. We'll be discussing how people's actions and behavior can provide insight into their true intentions and beliefs. Buckle up.

Most of all, remember that in every moment of our lives, it’s the journey that counts. We learn from the things we do and the people we meet, not just the ones we love or those who love us back. We learn from every encounter we have. We hope this inspires you to reflect on the lessons you've learned from the people in your life and how they've shaped you into the person you are today. Remember, every person you meet has something to teach you, so keep an open mind and embrace the lessons that come your way.

We're diving deep into the murky waters of being ghosted by a friend or romantic partner. We'll explore the intricacies of this modern-day phenomenon and discuss how to cope with the aftermath. Each ghosting experience is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. We hope that by exploring these questions, we can shed some light on this often perplexing and painful phenomenon, and offer solace to those who have experienced it.
Your mind allows you to create all kinds of justifications without any danger of contradictions. Reality has this irritating habit of bursting our bubbles and putting a crack into our wall of justifications. The mind is a great shelter from this threat. Sometimes it’s not even worth it to burst their bubble and let people just live in their reality., We often have our own opinions and beliefs that we impose on others, but what if we allowed people to live their own lives, make their own choices and create their own realities without judgment or criticism?

Life is full of challenges and uncertainties, and sometimes we find ourselves stuck in a rut, repeating the same patterns over and over again.

Change may be challenging, but it's often the catalyst for personal and societal progress.
