Positive Philter is a podcast about how to infuse positive thinking into everyday life. Topics range from interpersonal relationships, goal setting, positive self-talk, and spreading positivity. The creator of the podcast is Philip Wilkerson who also created the #illphilawards. The goal is to use social media and technology as a means to spread a message of hope and to influence the world for change one person at a time.
The Serge Experience," hosted by Sergio Gregorio, focuses on individual journeys, self-reflection, and personal growth. I interview thought leaders and everyday people about their life trajectories and newsworthy issues.
