  • No Regrets, Just Try

    “I really don’t think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don’t mind the failure but I can’t imagine that I’d forgive myself if I didn’t try.”

  • Group: A Documentary Series

    Viewer discretion definitely is advised.

    I couldn’t even tell you how I came across this one — digging on the internet gets wild sometimes.

    Group therapy has always been something I’ve been curious about. I’ve never had the chance to be part of a professional guided session, but my curiosity has taken me down some rabbit holes. I was looking for local options, then online, then somehow I landed on this real recorded session using a specific approach in guiding participants through.

    This documentary made me feel like I was sitting right there in the room. Some moments were uncomfortable. Some had me in tears. Ultimately, it left a strong impression on me and reminded me of something powerful… Our shared humanity isn’t our biggest breakdown– it’s our strongest connection.

    (That last statement was from a group at House of Ride that articulated this as their closing statement for the workshop we did.. powerful!)

  • How To Improve A Company

    Original source. Tbh these questions are great. They feel very clear to answer and it’s hard to argue that a worthwhile meeting occurred if the answer is no to all of them.

  • Simon Sinek & Trevor Noah in Convo

    This one really struck a chord with me. Are you working on your friendships?

    Maybe it’s by no accident that you’ve stumbled across this post…. Real friendship is quite a new experience for me. It’s not something that I felt like I had or was able to give growing up. No one really teaches you how to be a real friend. Fortunately enough, it is something that I feel like I have now and I couldn’t be more grateful for it. This convo inspired me to want to actually work on my friendships in the same way that I work on my business, dreams, and even my romantic relationship. It inspired me to want to tell my friends that I love them. What if better interactions and deeper relationships with our close friends can lead to more fulfillment in all areas in our life?

  • Creativity

    “Creativity is an active engagement with the unknown, it’s risk taking, it’s curiosity, it’s exploration, it’s discovery, it’s mystery. It’s all of that.”

    Esther Perel

    P.S. my partner swears by her podcasts. I’ve listened to a few. Quite thought provoking and she is definitely a master at work. Check her out.

  • Finding True Purpose & Creating Life

    One of my favorite poddys so far this year. The wisdom that Dr. James Hollis showcases is remarkable & truly takes a whole lifetime to attain. I keep rewinding the first 35 minutes because dude just drops bar, after bar, after bar. I highly recommend this one. It’s definitely one of Huberman’s best.

  • Riding Waves

    The waves are going to keep coming. It’s how you ride them that defines you. Embrace the flow, find your rhythm, stay grounded, stay true.

  • Having Fun Is The Secret

    Catherine Price‘s TED Talk made me rethink what fun really means. She’s got me thinking that the more we tap into it, the more alive we will feel.
