I said that I'm obsessed with podcasts. I'm not actually. I’m obsessed with what they facilitate - the story, humanity, connection, and sense of aliveness that live underneath. Storytelling should be in service of connection, not content. Full essay ⬇️ https://www.comma.org/p/the-message-is-the-medium

"Pick your problems" feels increasingly like a universal truth. I'm trying to lean into committing to difficult things with worthwhile outcomes that are marginally less miserable to me than to others.

I'm wondering if the ease of Googling/AI-ing answers to questions over the last couple decades/years has us reluctant to ask for help in other significant life things. For me, outright asking for help from a trusted human in things that matter most is incredibly meaningful. My hunch is yes.

"So obsessed with getting to the answer. Completing the project. Producing a result. Which are all valid things. BUT, not where the richness of the human experience lies. Stop rushing to what you perceive as some valuable endpoint - learn to enjoy the expenditure of energy that may or may not be on the correct path."

Hear me out. Le Labo, but with a brand aesthetic with more soul. More color, fun, dynamic design, more rounded corners vs. straight lines, less symmetry. Maybe targeted at men (vs. unisex/women). Start with candles, then to colognes/fragrances. We need more soul, especially in men’s brands. What do you think?

Was with old i-banking friends from Lazard last night, and one told me that he remembers coming up to my desk when I was an analyst and seeing a printed copy of some of the letters from Epicurus. Some things never change.

One of the most energizing feelings is "that is so cool/true/fascinating - but I don't know why." Where something lights up our bodies, makes us lean forward, but we don't yet see the full map of why. It makes us dive into the rabbit hole without knowing where we're going.
