Episode 13: “It’s a way of expressing myself. No one has the same style. I started out with streetwear, the whole Supreme stuff back in 4th/5th grade. And then you evolve. You find yourself through fashion… What you wear is who you are.” – Shane Elias Shane Elias is the definition of “big different.” He follows his own path, ignoring his criticism in the process. On this week’s episode of The Debate Without Debate Podcast, we sat down for a conversation with Shane about his interests, main...

Episode 12: “All of a sudden, one of my best friends came out to me as trans. I had to deal with that and, obviously, that didn’t change anything about our friendship. Not at all… Through my movie production, I have also met a lot of other trans people online, and you realize that they are just people. You know, gay rights are getting a lot of momentum, and that is fantastic, but there is a lot of gray area around trans rights, especially implementing transgender people into the norm… Therefore,...

Episode 8: “When do you have time to feel proud? Not when I make it into a competition, but rather it’s those little steps forward or even when I fail and learn something completely new. That is what keeps me going…” – Justin Schiavo Welcome to the second half of the conversation we had with Justin Schiavo, space fanatic, a Regeneron finalist, future MIT student, and residential “Rocket Man.” In this episode, we talked about some of Justin’s research, what it was like being a Regeneron finali...

Episode 7: “Most kids grow up… I really didn’t. I still like to think with my head in the clouds. I still like to think about the future in the most idealistic way possible. I do believe that I want to be a part of the journey to make humans an interplanetary species. So far, everything I have done in my life has been in order to achieve that goal.” – Justin Schiavo Interested in space travel and all things science? Well, you have come to the right place because on this week’s episode of t...

Episode 5: “You have nothing to lose. If you have a solution, just try it. There are no consequences in programming. If you want to crash your computer writing something you think might work, just do it. In so many other professions, there are consequences. If you are a doctor, and you like, 'Well, this might work!' You will kill someone. You have to be very careful. In programming, you can just let it out.” - Louie Kotler Welcome back to The Debate Without Debate Podcast and to our fifth ...

Episode 4: “I watched so many YouTube videos. I literally learned everything by myself. Not only because I had to, I really enjoyed it. The researching process and making sure I know everything about everything, that was really important to me. And, I think it has helped a lot in computer programing because I just go home and learn everything I possibly can. No one has really “taught” me about the stuff that I do.” – Louie Kotler You will not believe what this high schooler is creating… In th...

Episode 3: “Because I was working for a Republican campaign, in a very liberal area, I did not realize how much backlash I would get working for them. As an intern, what they made me do is go out to these street fairs. I would go out in the public, knock on doors, hand out the literature for the candidate. As a 16-year-old girl, the amount of backlash I received from normal, everyday citizens just yelling at me, ‘You are just supporting Trump! You are a xenophobe! You are anti-Semitic!’ But they...

Episode 2: “It has made me a lot more confident because I have been under pressure before. For example, when the scouts came to watch, obviously it was a high stress situation. So now, when I am in certain situation in which I need to perform, like school or a presentation, it doesn’t faze me as much. That directly comes from soccer.” – Richard Lalaj On this week’s episode, we welcomed Richard Lalaj to the podcast to talk about being a student athlete, his experience playing soccer on a club ...

Episode 1: “I was taught that the way to live a happy life is to let go of need. It’s okay to want everything but need nothing. The way to live a happy life is to master the things you can control but, like Simon Sinek says, ‘Let go of the factors you can’t control.’” – Aman Jaisinghani Episode 001 is now live! We talk about everything from spirituality and Conversations with God to meditation and magic with our good friend Aman Jaisinghani. Also, make sure to check out Aman’s Youtube C...
