"What's the point in making things difficult or hard, or there's no need for it? You just want to move forward in the best way possible because we don't need stress in our life. We don't need anger. We don't need all of these, the anxiety that goes with everything." - SAM. In this podcast episode, Sam Evers-Swindell, an international airline pilot, joins the conversation to share his journey from PanAm to Botswana, Myanmar, and, finally, a known Asian airline carrier. Known for his unique career path and candid nature, Sam highlights his love for aviation, the challenges and pressures he faced, and his passion for personal growth. The episode dives into the nuances of language, societal taboos, and even fast food cravings.

"I really think family, siblings, you got to start with actually knowing them in a deep sense because, without that, they're just a stranger, just a friend. There's that level of, yeah, you can be familiar with your friends more than your siblings. But there's that thing I can't point to it. There's just that thing of knowing a familiarity that's unique to siblings." - JC. Welcome to Human Thesaurus Special, EPITOME ANATOMY. In this episode, our keyword is SIBLINGS. It is a plural noun which means brothers or sisters. Its anthropology or origin came from the root word sib, which means relative or related by blood, according to dictionary.com.

"I would say that one way or another, society and life is moving faster and faster just because everything's becoming more interconnected.

"I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up." - Brian. As humans, we roll with the punches and keep looking for somewhere to roll.

"So if I can get over that fear, I can do anything." - Patton. Patton is the Orlando Bloom of the Philippines, as his Facebook fans acclaimed when Lord of the Rings came out. The best part is that he embraced it all while pursuing different angles in the world of arts and creatives. He's a relentless tech entrepreneur, not trying to fit in, but carving out his definitive place in his world through (geeky) movie lines that envelop his world. Join us and eavesdrop on us catching up with laughter, and more serious topics while we both recall our almost attempt to date in our 20s, and our lives ever since.

"I was at such a low point in my life that I finally came face to face with my purpose. I was so lost, and I found my way, and I found my own will, not according to anyone else but me." - Lily. This is the first voice conversation that Lily and I have ever had since our friendship drifted apart a few years. A company that was lost and found in the tides. Lily is a published writer mainly within the fantasy fiction genre, primarily Filipino culture-focused. At the same time, she teaches her son her mother tongue that she is harnessing to embrace back while living in a multicultural environment in Zurich, Switzerland.
