The problem with being human is that we believe our version of truth is the truth.

Not because we’re bad—but because we’re wired that way.

This episode is a story of blindness. Not the kind you see—but the kind you don’t even know you have. You’re not as open-minded as you think.

That’s not an insult—it’s just how the brain works. We shortcut. We judge. We protect our ego like it’s a vintage vinyl.

In this episode, I dive into the strange ways our own minds trick us into thinking we're rational, original, and morally superior. I walk through how prejudice isn't just about race—it's about music, anger, taste, careers, and even your opinion of running. You’ll hear about blind spots in your day-to-day that quietly shape your reality, and how to start noticing them before they run the show.

Takeaways:

You can’t change the world if you can’t first question the lens you’re using to see it.

This episode won’t change your mind—you will.
