Life updates, self-discovery, and having grace with yourself

Kindness, grace, trust, and patience. I explore what these four words mean to me in my life right now and how I'm using them as my compass for my self-discovery journey. It's been a while. But it's good to be back. Hope you enjoy.

Lucas Negritto on Staying Curious

How does Lucas stay curious? How we experience life can be seen as a series of curiosities. Questions that lead us to learn, grow, and evolve from. For Lucas, his curiosities became obsessions, shaping how he thinks about building, learning, and the kind of impact he wants to have on the world. We also talk about losing a spark for curiosity and how to regain that excitement, learning through the discomfort of not knowing, the role of competition and play in adulthood, and what it means to build a life—and career—on your own terms.

Aaron Kwok on Making Life an Adventure Worth Living

How do I make life an adventure worth living? Whether it's a 100-mile hike in the Alps or an ultra trail run, Kwok is always looking for that next adventure. In this conversation, we talk about why he seeks thrill and physical challenges for clarity, what his adventure on his 100-mile Tour Du Mont Blonc trek taught him about presence, resilience, and human connection, how saying yes to spontaneous adventures can reshape your life, and why a doctor described him as "oddly cheerful and reporting no pain despite injuries." Enjoy.

what makes an exceptional life?

I always find myself going through quite the thought exploration when facing any question about life. In this exploration I go from reading my personal journal about a prompt I was given in therapy to sharing my favorite quote from the latest book i've read. Some ideas shared here may make no sense or may make a lot of sense for you but overall I always hope it simply sparks some thought exploration for yourself. To ask yourself and attempt to understand what makes an exceptional life for you? Enjoy. Tuesdays with Morrie [https://www.amazon.com/Tuesdays-Morrie-Greatest-Lesson-Anniversary/dp/076790592X]
