The value of human is going up because the value of machine is low says @simonsinek 

Assembly line products are perfect and not special. Your Pottery Barn mug is flawless in every way, but a Japanese ceramic mug made by hand—with imperfect sides and wonky glaze—is more beautiful.

It’s more beautiful because it’s human. Because it’s imperfect.

We’re starting to crave imperfect, handmade, hand-drawn, hand-conceived, handwritten. We want effort because effort has value.

In a world of algorithmic perfection, human flaws become features. 

Our inconsistencies, our struggles, our unique perspectives—these aren’t bugs to fix.

They’re what make us irreplaceable.

Comment “Simon” and I’ll DM you the latest episode of @findingmastery with @simonsinek

In your 20s, you have to have adventure. You have to have fun, says @robertgreene

You’re only young once — it’s the most incredible part of your life, but you need to have a direction — heading towards something you love that excites you. 

By the time you’re 30, it’s all going to come together. 

You’ll create something interesting that is you because you spent your 20s learning skills while having adventures. 

Don’t be so single-track — you won’t discover what you’re good at.

The diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder requires five of nine symptoms... 

The high points include grandiosity, arrogance, entitlement, living in a fantasy world of perfect love stories, perfect life, grand business plans, selfishness and egocentricity — entire self-focus with little regard for the needs and wants of other people.
 
The needs of the self are put ahead of the needs of all other people around them.
 
This is the distinguishing characteristic that makes it really toxic: “I am more important than you.”
 
And not only am I more important than you, your needs don’t matter.
 
It’s not just confidence or ambition — it’s the complete dismissal of others’ humanity in service of the self.
 
The fantasy world they live in requires everyone else to be supporting characters in their story.

“Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse where a person’s reality, memory, perceptions, and experiences are denied — and then the person is told they’re somehow lacking or there’s something wrong with them…”

The manipulation isn’t just about the lie — it’s about making you doubt yourself completely.

Trust your reality. Your perceptions matter.

What if one of the greatest choreographers and dancers of our time found mastery not in movement… but in stillness?

Comment ‘dance’ and I’ll DM you the latest episode of @findingmastery with @derekhough 

This week’s conversation is with four-time Emmy Award winner, six-time Dancing with the Stars champion, and one of the most respected dancers and choreographers in the world, Derek Hough.

This conversation isn’t just about dance. It’s about self-discovery, emotional resilience, and the quiet power of going inward.

Derek opens up about the intense challenges he faced growing up—from early trauma and feeling like an outsider to finding belonging in rhythm and movement. 

He shares the surprising moment that forced him to stop dancing—and what he found in the stillness that followed.

Whether you’re an artist, a coach, or someone navigating your own path to self-mastery—this one’s for you.

Explore. Get lost. Play.

I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Grammy-winning artist Serj Tankian (@serjtankian ), frontman of System of a Down, to dive into the power of play—how it fuels creativity, keeps hope alive, and why we all need more of it. 💯 

In a world obsessed with productivity and checking off to-do lists, this conversation is a refreshing reminder that play isn’t just a luxury—it’s essential. 🔥

I know I’m working on making more space for it in my own life. Catch this full conversation on YouTube, or wherever you stream podcasts!

How Alex Honnold (@alexhonnold) differentiates risk and consequence is fascinating…

Most people use risk to mean something that seems dangerous. 

Alex prefers to describe risk as the likelihood of something happening, and consequences being what will happen if it does.

Just because the consequences are incredibly high, if the likelihood is incredibly low, it could still be reasonable to do that thing.
