  • Self-Help Has Gotten Out of Control
    Aug 11 2025

    At some point, self-care went from drinking water and getting enough sleep to sticking coffee where the sun doesn’t shine. Literally. The global self-care market ballooned from $10 billion in 2014 to over $450 billion by 2020, and along the way, wellness became a full-time job. From 4:30 a.m. wake-ups to skincare routines that require a chemistry degree, we’ve officially overcomplicated the art of taking care of ourselves. In this episode, I react to some of the most viral “self-improvement” TikToks and reels, unpacking the absurdity, and asking a simple question: when did growth stop being… simple?

    Aug 7 2025

    Dreams: the place where your punches are only half as effective, all your teeth fall out, and you can only run away from bad guys in slow motion.

    Jul 31 2025

    Ever feel like your brain just isn’t working the way it should? Like you’re stuck in dumb dumb mode and can’t quite get yourself unstuck?

  • This Dashboard Will Change Everything
    Jul 28 2025

    Most of us measure our lives with a single metric: money, career, or some arbitrary idea of success. But what if there was a simpler way to see the bigger picture? In this episode, I share a tool I’ve been using that changed how I think about success, happiness, and stress, and why tracking what really matters might just change everything.

    Jul 21 2025

    It’s been five years since I first called myself a minimalist. A lot has changed since then: my work, my family, and how I see the world. In this episode, I reflect on why I still choose minimalism, even when life gets messy, why it remains one of the most powerful tools I have to keep things simple, and how one simple question continues to keep me grounded in what matters most.
