Master of One
This is the Master of One Podcast. This is my journey to master myself through different endeavors and books. Each episode I read a book and go through all the major lessons I learned from the book. The second half of the podcast I go through the lessons and interesting observances I learned since the last podcast. I love writing lessons down! By the next podcast/book I have so many lessons I've learned and want to share, enjoy!

Master of None is a podcast ran by Deepak Aaron(Daaron.3). Chess, Stand Up Comedy, Boxing, Jiu Jitsu, Sports(UFC/NFL/NBA), business and analogies to life. I'm on the path to Grandmaster at chess(I have 3 International Master norms/GA State Champions, 2400+ USCF, and have competed Internationally), and every week I also do open mics, box and do jiu jitsu(still a beginner but making progress) and run WolfChess an Atlanta based chess company. I primarily watch UFC/NBA/NFL and love to analyze and talk about it! Every week I will be doing a podcast episode to summarize what I've done/what I've learned/and what I've observed through these endeavors that week.
