A VIEW OF I

“A VIEW OF I” WHAT DO WE ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE IN MOTION THROUGH THE VIEW OF OTHERS? FOR MOST PEOPLE, LIFE IS EXPERIENCED IN FIRST PERSON. THE ROUTINES. THE RESPONSIBILITIES. THE WORK. THE EFFORT. IT’S SIMPLY ANOTHER NORMAL DAY. BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THAT PERSPECTIVE SHIFTS FROM FIRST PERSON TO THIRD PERSON? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE ORDINARY BECOMES SOMETHING VIEWED FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN? WHAT ONE PERSON CALLS ROUTINE, ANOTHER MAY CALL DISCIPLINE. WHAT ONE PERSON CALLS NORMAL, ANOTHER MAY CALL HARD WORK. “A VIEW OF I” EXPLORES PERSPECTIVE, THE CONTRAST BETWEEN FIRST PERSON AND THIRD PERSON, AND THE CURIOUS REALITY THAT THERE ARE VERSIONS OF OURSELVES THAT EXIST IN THE MINDS OF OTHERS THAT WE’LL NEVER FULLY SEE OR UNDERSTAND

ANGER TAKES OVER

“ANGER TAKES OVER” FEELINGS HAVE INFLUENCE. SOME COME AND GO, WHILE OTHERS SEEM DETERMINED TO REMAIN. WHAT STARTS AS FRUSTRATION CAN SLOWLY GROW INTO SOMETHING HEAVIER, SOMETHING HARDER TO SHAKE. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT ANGER—HOW IT LINGERS, HOW IT PULLS OUR ATTENTION BACK TO ITSELF, AND HOW DIFFICULT IT CAN BE TO LET GO OF ONCE IT SETTLES IN. THROUGH REFLECTION AND OBSERVATION, THIS CONVERSATION EXPLORES THE WEIGHT OF ANGER, THE STRUGGLE OF MOVING BEYOND IT, AND THE REALIZATION THAT SOME EMOTIONS DON’T JUST PASS THROUGH OUR LIVES. SOMETIMES, THEY WANT TO STAY

DESIGNATED, LOVE

DESIGNATED, LOVE WE ALL NEED LOVE. FAMILY LOVE. FRIENDSHIP LOVE. COMMUNITY LOVE. YET FOR SOME, THERE REMAINS A VOID THAT NONE OF THOSE THINGS SEEM TO FILL. IN THIS EPISODE, WE EXPLORE THE IDEA OF DESIGNATED LOVE—THE SPACE RESERVED FOR A PERSON WHO HASN’T ARRIVED YET. A CONVERSATION ABOUT LONGING, COMPANIONSHIP, AND THE DIFFERENT PLACES LOVE OCCUPIES IN OUR LIVES. BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU CAN BE SURROUNDED BY LOVE AND STILL FEEL THE ABSENCE OF A CERTAIN KIND OF IT.

LOOK AT IMPACT

LOOK AT IMPACT THIS EPISODE EXPLORES THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ATTENTION AND INFLUENCE. IT EXAMINES HOW SOME OF THE MOST MEANINGFUL IMPACTS ARE MADE FAR FROM THE SPOTLIGHT. FROM MUSIC, SPORTS, ART, AND FASHION, WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE PEOPLE WHO SHAPED CULTURE BY CHOOSING TO SHARE THEIR GIFTS. WE ALSO CONSIDER WHAT THE WORLD WOULD LOOK LIKE IF THOSE CONTRIBUTIONS WERE NEVER MADE. BECAUSE EVERY PIECE OF WORK THAT INSPIRES US STARTED WITH SOMEONE DECIDING TO PUT IT OUT THERE. AND MAYBE THE THING YOU’VE BEEN AFRAID TO SHARE IS THE VERY THING SOMEONE ELSE NEEDS.

BE SELF-LESS

BE SELF-LESS WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN TO BE SELF-LESS? FOR MANY, THE WORD BRINGS UP IDEAS OF SACRIFICE, PEOPLE-PLEASING, OR CONSTANTLY PUTTING OTHERS BEFORE YOURSELF. BUT WHAT IF WE’VE MISUNDERSTOOD IT? THIS EPISODE EXPLORES THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING SELFISH AND BEING SELF-LESS, NOT THROUGH GRAND GESTURES OR ENDLESS YESES, BUT THROUGH SOMETHING MUCH SIMPLER: CONSIDERATION. BEFORE EVERY DECISION, THERE IS A MOMENT. A MOMENT WHERE WE CAN CHOOSE TO THINK ONLY ABOUT OURSELVES OR MAKE ROOM FOR SOMEONE ELSE IN THE EQUATION. THROUGH REFLECTION, OBSERVATION, AND HONEST QUESTIONS, BE SELF-LESS CHALLENGES THE IDEA THAT SELF-LESSNESS IS ABOUT GIVING MORE AND INSTEAD ASKS WHETHER WE’VE FORGOTTEN HOW TO CONSIDER OTHERS AT ALL. BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE DISTANCE BETWEEN SELFISH AND SELF-LESS IS NOTHING MORE THAN A MOMENT OF THOUGHT BEFORE AN ANSWER IS GIVEN.
