Better Today with Jason Cruz

Hi, and welcome to Better Today with me, Jason Cruz! :)

As a young leader myself who's still learning the ropes and making mistakes along the way, I started this channel as a way to share the lessons I've learned both in life and at work. Our generation has its own unique struggles but what I believe connects us is our deep desire to be better versions of ourselves every day. I want this channel to be a space where young leaders can find work-life inspiration.

I won't have all the answers to your unique set of challenges, but perhaps one of these videos can answer one (or a few) of your questions.

If you've read this far - thank you, and take a look at one of my videos! :) May it help you in becoming better today :)

I'm currently a Shell employee and am not speaking on behalf of the organization. My views are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of Shell. Thank you!

Hey Better Today fam! I have some (big) news for everyone πŸ˜…

Last year, I've been working behind the scenes with Nas Academy Philippines to compile some of my lesson plans, talks with the DTI and the DOT, and experiences as an agency guy and a business owner. This project led up to my very first class with them, a crash course on Digital Marketing for MSMEs!

MSMEs - micro, small, and medium enterprises - are close to my heart. After all, I run small businesses, too! In this virtual session, I will teach THREE fundamental ideas that can get your MSME up and running in the digital space.

πŸ‘‰πŸ½ Please sign up here: nasacademy.ph/jasoncruzlive

The crash course on April 24, 2022 (Sunday, at 8:00 PM) is only PHP 150.00 and I promise you that it's packed with value for you, whether you've started a few businesses yourself or you're still in the planning phase.

Thank you so much for the support, and I hope that this course helps you and your business get better today!

New channel photo up today! πŸ˜…

What do you think? Does it look more professional, or do I look I'm running for a public office this year? πŸ˜†

On a more serious note - I'm afraid I won't have a video up this week. It's a huge week for me personally (a major life event and a good one so don't worry) and I'm taking some time out. I'll be back next week with a video that's "kinda" related to this life event so stay tuned! As always, thanks for supporting and I'll see you all very soon 😊🍻

Today is World Mental Health Day.

It's also been more than a year-and-a-half since the pandemic turned the lives of millions of people upside-down. For many people - especially those who live alone (a group of people I was in for the first 8 months of pandemic-related lockdowns), frontline workers, and those with pre-existing mental health conditions - it's been an extremely challenging time.

Today is a good day to remind ourselves to take care of ourselves and the people around us, from family members to colleagues to the guy who delivers our take-outs. It's a good day to remind ourselves to choose kindness, empathy, and understanding. It's a good day to remind ourselves that it's okay to ask for help.

And in case you or someone you know needs to speak with a professional, I'd like to share with you one way to do it via KonsultaMD:

πŸ‘‰πŸ½ To avail of your free one-month consultation with KonsultaMD:
1. Download the KonsultaMD app.
2. Use the promo code KMDJASON.
3. Once your free plan is activated, call (02) 7798 8000 and press 2 to speak to a medical professional.

πŸ‘‰πŸ½ Three ways of mental health care that worked for me: https://youtu.be/A2EoUj_RT4s

Note: This is NOT a paid partnership; KonsultaMD was kind enough to give out promo codes to help me reach other individuals who might need professional help and advice.

Yes, that's a Christmas tree! In September!

In the Philippines, we celebrate the Christmas season the moment the "-ber months" begin - so by September, many households have their trees up, including ours.

Expect the backgrounds of videos from this week until January (maybe) to be this festive!

Any suggestions on what I should add or remove? The tree, unfortunately, is non-negotiable since this is the only corner in the condo that can accommodate it.

So I co-own and run a small business. It's pretty stressful!
I'm thinking of making a video on what are the different kinds of stress that business owners go through - and I'd like YOUR help on this.

What is the most stressful thing about being a business owner? Please let me know in the comments!

Thank you :)
