With immense honor, my wife Eva and I are beyond thrilled to announce our recent donation of Chris Burden's Path to Xanadu to @LACMA, now part of the museum’s permanent collection!

In July 2021, Eduardo Burillo gifted CryptoPunk #5293 to the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, where he had recently joined the board of trustees. This donation made ICA Miami the first major art institution in the United States to hold an NFT in its collection, sparking conversations about what it means for museums to collect, own, and conserv...

We thought this was a really compelling opportunity to enter the world of NFTs, with a number of considerations in mind. In the future, the CryptoPunks will be seen as a time capsule of this period. They were an early, if not the first, major permutational project that took the space by storm, and as such the works are representative of a community... See more

We’re here to grow and we’re here to serve. We’re in this crisis of happiness, purpose, and meaning. The easiest way out of that is to give of yourself to others. We tend to overcomplicate these things, but that’s the easiest shortcut to experiencing what we all want most and seem to lack the most now. We conflate the word service with philanthropy...

I’m part of a men’s group that has met every Monday night for the last seven years. It’s just seven guys and it’s mediated by a therapist. These guys know me better than anyone.

We’re pattern-making animals by nature. It’s what our brains do. But, if we want to grow, we have to develop that capacity to interrupt those patterns and stress-test them from time to time.

Anything that I’ve ever been successful at has taken at least 10 years of hard work and anonymous toil to get to that place. I’m an ultra-endurance athlete as an athlete, but also in the way that I’ve approached doing anything in life. There are no shortcuts to mastery. Although there are tips and tricks that people do to accelerate growth, I’m not... See more

We all have those whispers. We’re all visited with those little tickles on the back of our minds that help guide us in one direction or the other. But, they get muted out by the busy lives we lead and the level of distraction we tolerate and contend with in our daily lives. To be able to hear the voice of your intuition, and be guided by your insti... See more

Passing away without affairs in order can not only leave disarray for family and heirs but also diminish one’s personal legacy. Our survey respondents see someone who dies without having affairs in order as irresponsible (52%), inconsiderate or ignorant (Figure 10) . Yet having affairs in order is still the exception, not the rule. Leaving a legacy... See more
