A 17 year old student currently attending high school who hosts a podcast called "The Brief Dive". The podcast covers topics about quick self-help tips for teen mental health. Marques sits down with Filimon and picks his brain about his perspective on life and the many avenues that are presented to the topic of mental health from a teen's view.

This episode Marques shares an important topic with David Edwards. David R. Edwards worked his way through school eventually achieving a BA in Business and MBA in Healthcare Administration.  He served mostly lower income people on 3 continents over the last 35 years and is familiar with the challenges and unfairness of life.  In 2018 while working with doctors, dentists, counselors, and community health workers he had an epiphany.  The core challenge most people have is to generate the personal drive to direct their own life, enduring principles to guide, and the most current science-based tools to assist them through a bumpy and messy life.  His first book “New You! Who Knew?” is an attempt to put in writing an easy to digest and implement guide that builds confidence, esteem, and self-compassion in balance.
