Seibo stops by to chat with Gavin Masumiya, co-founder of Flowmaster which mixes public speaking with free-style rap.

Gavin talks about the origins of Flowmaster, which originated from a happy accident from talking with another colleague at Toastmasters. The pair expressed their secret love of free-style rap and began devising ideas on how to put a unique, modern spin on public speaking.

At the start of the podcast Seibo and Gavin begin talking about listing the benefits of realizing and expressing your true self and the benefits it brings when it comes to mindset, forming relationships, and positive action.

Moving on, Gavin reflects on his own childhood and the struggles of denying his true self and the impact it did to his self esteem when he allowed himself to be defined by self imposed standards. Furthermore, with the societal pressures to conform where we treat the symptoms with pharmaceuticals Seibo also reflects on our inability to address the root cause which have connections to repressed emotions and the question of why we are so unwilling to address them.

Gavin then transitions into providing useful tips and practical exercises to calm yourself when you are feeling overwhelmed with anxiety or frustration, noting the positive changes you can experience if you practice these exercises and how it has been beneficial in his own life. Conversely, acknowledging your own achievements or positive comments from others is also needed, and you should allow yourself to give yourself permission to truly own them.

The podcast closes out reiterating the benefits of developing these exercises and the small steps you can take to incorporate them into your own life.
