What happens when you use AI for self discovery instead of productivity?In this episode of the Be Yourself Podcast, I sit down with Jordan Seggman (Seggy) to explore how talking to ChatGPT became less about content and more about clarity. What started as curiosity turned into an honest experiment with AI pattern recognition and better questions.During a personal rock bottom at 30, Seggy began “brain-dumping” his thoughts into AI.

In this raw episode of the Be Yourself Podcast, I sit down with David Angel to unpack the brutal truth about sales through the lens of collapse, addiction, recovery, and rebuilding from zero.

In the second coming of Mark Hershberg to my podcast, I decided to stir the pot a bit: in addition to covering professional life in the US, career and leadership, networking and sales, of which Mark is obviously a maestro, I dug deeper and asked Mark about his early years in the 80th, the formation of the internet in the 90th, and how he has made a choice to connect his life to tech while it was not considered sexy at all. On top of that, we talked about dating and how it is somewhat similar to a professional life. I marvel at conversations with people who know how to listen and share unpopular yet supremely compelling opinions on a wide array of subjects. That's what you're in for today. Enjoy!

У цьому випуску спілкуємося з Олексієм Башкірцевим - яскравою людиною та геніальним лікарем який своїм прикладом показує як змінювати систему охорони здоров'я та рятувати сотні тисяч життів. Олексій - сучасний лідер та візіонер, котрий не боїться пробувати нове та змінювати застарілі підходи. Таких людей як Олексій в нашії країні повинно бути більше, і я сподіваюся що цей випуск надихне вас так само як надивнув мене - не тільки піклуватися про себе щоб прожити довше, але й створювати нові сенси для нашої рідной держави.

In this episode, I was joined by Masha Vynogradova - a TV/Radio host, an inspiring Ukrainian who made her way to hosting the latest Eurovision Contest press conference and backstage events organized by BBC Radio. Masha is currently in London, but back in Ukraine, she had a one-of-a-kind career: for 17 years, she worked as a journalist, later becoming a TV presenter at M1 music channel and a host of a morning show on Radio Energy. Masha's vigorous energy is contagious, and that's precisely the reason why I was smiling throughout the entire conversation 😄 I resonate with the passion Masha has for her craft because I believe that, just like Masha, all of us have to do what we love and truly can't live without. Watch this episode for insights on presenting, finding your path in life, the necessity to shine bright and chase your dreams even when the odds are stacked against you.

Kateryna is an American Council's Innovation and Leadership program participant who received a grant to assist her newest project "Spokiy", which helps Ukrainian warriors with PTSD. Currently resides in Houston, TX. Katya and I talked about her career, the difference in mental health perception in the US and Ukraine, the challenges she overcame in her standing as a medical business administrator and the sacrifices that she had to make to make all this happen. Katya is a highly - energetic individual not only for Ukrainian women and doctors to learn from, but for people around the world as well.

In my first official BE Yourself Podcast episode I had an open conversation with gorgeous Viktoria Balaban - a Ukrainian businesswoman currently residing and building a new life in the US. Vika's story is mind-blowing: from beating the odds and surviving more than 60 emergencies at a young age having severe lung disease, she has proven to herself that through unprecedented love and honesty, the hardships of life become the hinges of success. The conversation about meaning, serving others, accepting/mastering your sexuality and more of the same will be a great hour-long investment that you can make today. Enjoy! Serhii.
