I recently listened to The Almanack of Naval Ravikant, and something about it stuck with me in a big way. Not because I want to copy Naval’s life—but because his ideas helped me slow down, question some assumptions, and start thinking about what kind of life I actually want to build.

This episode isn’t a book summary. It’s me, talking through the ten ideas that hit hardest. What they mean to me. Where I agree. Where I hesitate. And how I might use them in my life as a creator, a husband, and someone getting ready to become a father.

Here’s some of what I cover:

* Why long-term relationships are the foundation for everything

* What it means to earn with your mind, not your time

* How desire quietly creates unhappiness—and what I’m doing about it

* Why escaping competition means being fully, unapologetically yourself

* How happiness is something I now see as a skill, not a reward

This podcast is part of Season 1 of The Ruskin Seabrook Experience—where I practice being a better host, reflect on life in real-time, and try to grow more honest in how I show up.

If you’re listening, thank you for being here. I’m glad we crossed paths.
