Poser https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug04_Post.mp4 Way back in high school, I dabbled a bit in “punk.” I went to see a few bands. I started listening to some punk records. Really loudly in my room to piss off my parents. But one opening line of a Sex Pistols song stuck with me. It […]
Release Your Inner Conqueror
Imaginary Rope https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug03_Post.mp4 You’ve probably heard the story of the elephant. The one where they tied up an elephant when he was a kid.

Dude, WHAT?!
Come Again? https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug02_Post.mp4 Once I was talking to a friend of mine. This guy was Japanese, but pretty fluent in English. Still, there were some issues with pronunciation. He lived in Japan, but had spent time in the UK as an exchange student. We were talking about various types of fast […]
Think Beyond Reality
Embrace Limits https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug01_Post.mp4 Working within constraints is something we tend to avoid. But at the same time, constraints can help create fantastic results.

Unlock Your Inner Wisdom
Straws and Snowflakes https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July30_Post.mp4 There are a few metaphors that speak about very small things that make big changes. These aren’t literally true.

Solve Problems While You Sleep
Dreams To Money https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July29_Post.mp4 Once upon a time there was a woman. She had a horrible dream. Some monster that was not dead, not alive.

Dream Yourself A Fortune
What To Do? https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July28_Post.mp4 Most people have lazy brains. Which is fine. If every single human wanted to be in charge, nobody would have evolved. Some people create, some people build, and most people watch. At the same time, every single thing we have was once an idea in somebody’s brain. […]
The Three Parts Of You
All Aboard https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July27_Post.mp4 Plenty of movies have very specific archetypes. There are twelve basic archetypes you’ll find in most movies, books, stories, legends. But there are also common collections of groups. The various Seven Samurai, from the famous movie, are essentially replicated in the first Star Wars. Luke, Obi Won, Han […]
Dream Yourself A Fortune
How’d That Happen? https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/July26_Post.mp4 Plenty of cool inventions happened by accident. Most inventions were discovered on that path to something greater.
