Humble is back in the studio to brainstorm with Ruben about how we can create and amplify a culture of love through the discomfort, fear, and difficulty of life. He shares wisdom on how to stop taking the easy road (because it doesn't get you anywhere), reverse your limiting beliefs, and get out of a scarcity mindset and into a LOVE mindset.

Ready to be captivated by the art of resilience and power of creativity? Our guest, Jason Mayden, takes us on an journey through the intersection of design and culture. We step into a realm where self-determination fuels the potential of our youth and the power of servitude and its role as an act of altruistic rebellion, and its significance in a culture of love.
Jason joins Ruben to explore the complexities of resilience and self-acceptance, unraveling their role in shaping our relationship with ourselves and others. Drawing lessons from the life of Michael Jordan, Jason dives deep into the power of divine providence in shaping our destiny and what it was like working side-by-side with one of the greatest champions of all time.
Jason offers unique insights into the misunderstandings surrounding design and its potential as an asset class. We take a look at the advantages of the barter system, the importance of self-assessment, and how learning technical language can boost creativity. Lastly, we reflect on the importance of fostering a culture of love and the power of pivoting in the face of challenges.
How does Jason live through love? "Unconditional love requires me to let go and forgive a lot. The way that we're mostly oppressed is through anchoring ourselves or tethering ourselves to the spirit of offense. And once you allow the world to offend you now you get walking around with justifications for your anger and your rage and everything is just like well, yeah, of course. And that just robs you of your ability to contribute to the tapestry of humanity."
"To pull something from your imagination and to have the audacity to put it into the real world. Repeatedly Like it takes a certain amount of youthfulness, it takes a certain amount of resilience, it takes a certain amount of self-determination, because you constantly have to fight against your insecurities in order to keep producing." - Jason Mayden

"Design for me is not the act of creativity, it's the questions we ask. Designers ask the best questions and if you ask the right question you can get an answer that helps the most amount of people." - Jason Mayden

Have you ever found yourself stuck in a cycle of seeking pleasure and avoiding pain? Let's be honest, we all have our vices and, in a sense, we're all addicts. This week, we sit down with Mike Diamond, an interventionist and author who shook things up by challenging us to reframe our perception of addiction. From the search for new highs to the aversion of lows, we uncovered the universal human struggle, reflecting on Buddha's principle of balance as a potential path to love and enlightenment.
Mike joins Ruben to crack open the concept of mastery, taking a hard look at how sitting in silence, acknowledging our weaknesses and committing to daily progress are key to achieving it. We challenged the notion of 'average' and explored the power of unconscious competence - the point when your skill becomes a deeply ingrained habit.
Lastly, we turned our hearts to empathy, compassion, and the art of meeting people where they are - labels, definitions and all. Drawing inspiration from Robert Downey Jr's transformative journey, we dove into the importance of reframing our past experiences to better our present relationships. We even dissected the dangers of toxic positivity, the power of micro-wins, and the impact of our past experiences on our current relationships. So, if you're ready for a conversation full of love, vulnerability, and enlightenment, tune in.
How does Mike live through love? "You can't give love if you don't love yourself. So I always work on myself, first take responsibility for how I choose to think, how I choose to feel and how I choose to act, and then I make sure I come in a critic and I'm kind to myself. And by being kind to myself, and you know being being a good person, then I can put love out into the world."
"The purpose of this experience is to find out your purpose, to be of value to people that helps them reach their potential… To find peace, love and be better to people." - Mike Diamond
