Takeaways

1. We’re so complex and weird as human beings - we know what is good for us and what will give us satisfaction so why don't we just go do more of that?

2. If you listen very carefully each tree and each kind of a leaf makes a different sound.

3. Social media is like an unwanted guest in your house. They have just arrived, they have no plans of leaving, and we just don't know whether we're going to get along or not, but we are figuring it out.

4. It is such a privilege to do work that allows you to meet people who are doing such insanely cool things. Entering their studios and places of work exposes you to this whole different way of thinking .

5. Commit to watching at least one documentary film a month.
