I’ve been making videos of myself doing absurd things I’ve never done. Competing in a Japanese Game Show running away from chickens. Pitching a product on Shark Tank. Speaking in cadences that are mine but perfected. In
So I used to live by my Google calendar. You know what I’m talking about, right? Those color-coded blocks stretching across hours and days. Purple for travel = new adventures planned. Red for birthdays. Yellow for holida
I never met my father’s father. My grandfather. He passed away well before I was born, leaving behind only a few photographs and no videos or recordings of his voice. Yet he exists in me, his genetic legacy is coursing t
I was first called a “chink” when I was in 1st grade. I didn’t know what it meant. I’m not sure the kid that called me that knew what it meant either. But he was taught the word, and taught what the physical attributes w
“Be Like Water.” You may have seen these words attributed to Bruce Lee on a t-shirt or bumper sticker. Here is the full quote: "Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water. You put water into a cup, it becomes th
I believe there are two types of people: those that always want to keep their phone charged close to 100% and those that are ok with draining it all the way down. Recently when having breakfast with a friend the topic of
I just read about something pretty cool. Five people in a UC Berkeley lab experienced a color that's never been seen before by human eyes. They called it Olo—a super-saturated bluish-green that exists beyond what our eye
I have a financial planner. A separate financial advisor. An estate attorney. A banker. And an accountant. I don't have an attention advisor. Neither do you. We track every dollar. We ignore every thought. We guard our c
Last week at SFMOMA, I saw a piece of art called “Wall Drawing 1” by Sol LeWitt. It was a grid of carefully drawn lines. But it wasn’t on a canvas. It was drawn directly on the wall. I thought to myself, “that’s one way
There’s a moment. A split second where you decide whether you’re going to do something or let it slide. Whether you’ll step up or stay put. Whether you’ll send the email, ask the question, make the move. These moments ar
In my previous posts, I've explored how expertise can sometimes kill creativity and how audience expectations create impossible standards for artists as they evolve. I have one final perspective to this topic. BTW Don’t
Last week I wrote about expertise and how it sometimes kills creativity. About being uninhibited as a beginner (or possible just naive) can lead to breakthrough creativity. But there's another side to this story. The aud
I was nineteen when I first heard Mozart's Salzburg Symphony #1 Divertimento in D major K. 136. Something about those opening notes captured me instantly. There was an energy, a freshness to it that I couldn't quite expl
Recently, a colleague gave me some feedback. It wasn’t easy to hear, but it got me thinking about how essential real, unfiltered feedback is to growth. If asked, I will always stress the importance of feedback. But as a
Recently, I underwent a colonoscopy and, like anyone who has experienced it knows, the preparation is no joke. Instructions are precise: what to eat, what not to eat, when to drink the solution, and how much. I opted for
The other day I was meeting with a former colleague for a coffee catch up. During the conversation he lamented the challenge he was facing finding another job after he was laid off towards the end of last year. I asked i
In a world obsessed with speed and automation, the smallest details still require a human touch. In this episode, we explore the underrated craft of kerning—yes, the space between letters—and what it reveals about our ap
Today, I listened to the latest episode of the Hidden Brain podcast, hosted by Shankar Vedantam. They discussed a study revealing that during conversations, people admit their minds wander about 24% of the time. In this
