The conversation then veers towards Masogi, a term coined by Dr. Marcus Elliot, signifying pushing the boundaries of human potential โ a must-listen for anyone eager to challenge themselves and expand their horizons.Rounding off the episode, we delve into a deeper understanding of solitude and its dichotomous nature โ often perceived as a sign of weakness and a gateway to self-discovery. Our chat highlights the importance of getting comfortable with being alone, fostering self-awareness, and developing authenticity in relationships.
