Sitting down with Eric Bragas to explore the intersection of technology, creativity, and personal transformation.

We dive into Eric's evolution from a technical, engineering-focused mindset to embracing art and creativity—drawing influence from visionaries like Frank Lloyd Wright. Through insightful discussions on environment, design, and philosophy, Eric challenges the individualistic approach often seen in American culture, advocating instead for working with the environment rather than against it.

The conversation flows into the beauty of well-designed systems, the balance between structure and creative freedom, and how transparent, orchestrated designs can be an art form of their own. Eric also takes us on his journey with microdosing, inspired by thinkers like Tim Ferriss, and how it led to the creation of the Microdose Journal—a guided tool built around the Hero’s Journey framework to help users reflect and grow.

We unpack the challenges of bringing the journal to life, from material selection to manufacturing hurdles, and the deeper importance of self-reflection, rest, and productivity in creative work. As the episode wraps up, Eric shares his thoughts on the personal nature of creative projects, the power of collective change through individual action, and the responsibility of sharing one’s unique gifts with the world.

Plus, a glimpse into what’s next—Eric’s plans for launching the Microdose Journal and upcoming conversations on AI, Burning Man, and beyond.
