nils’ work is alchemy 

Soviet Folk Tales 

a rich contemplation on the link between anxiety, loneliness and suppressed grief, and our culture’s approach to being a stranger to holding space for these emotions, being seen experiencing them, and asking for help when we need it the most.

Duke walks us through how ‘not knowing’ served him in his life.

Some highlights:  

• Do it because it ‘feels right’

• Less focus around what’s the logical path, and more on the emotional - what feels right 

• Sit still and listen vs give into the urge to do something 

• Go from doing to being 

• Replace what’s your purpose with what makes you curious? - Notice the difference in how these make you feel 

• Keep returning to this one burning question - what does the world need most that i am/we are most uniquely qualified to deliver - when you can answer this, you can hit the go button

• The concept of Santosha - means complete contentment in yoga philosophy. Relation to Equanimity: Allows acceptance of all circumstances, including pleasure and pain.

Some quotes (we love quotes) 

• “It’s become a courageous act to love who you are” 

• “My jam is not about driving traffic, doing the best acquisitions, crm. I wake up in the morning to find the soul of the place, establish it and celebrate it” 

• “I don’t really have a point of view about data and the known, and how everything you do is directly gonna drive revenue.” 

• “To know is to be in a prison 

  To not know is to be free” - Christian Murdy
