🧭 core values
- kindness unlocks doors that smartness alone never will.
- you can't think your way out of a courage deficit. the important thing is to take the next step.
- your imagination is the bottleneck that limits the good you can create in the world.
- be so prolific you don't recognize yourself.
- who do you want to share this life with? everything else can be derived from that question.
- don't chase prestige. just do what you love, and let prestige take care of itself.
- the social reality you inherited is not the one you must inhabit for the rest of your life.
- when someone changes your life, don't just say thank you. pass it on.
- write stupid, edit smart. the frontier of dumb is where new smart things are born.
- emptying your cup is about refusing to be in denial. let life surprise you.
- be the person you wish you had in your life. that is the epiphany. for yourself. for others.
- how do you expect others to believe in you when you don't believe in yourself?
- no matter where you are in life, you always have more to learn and see.
- see life with childlike wonder. believe in magic.
