To say the world today is uncertain would be an understatement. Almost nothing's guaranteed, and it seems like new disruptions to the status quo emerge every day. While our parents might have had the luxury of only worrying about how the rise of rap might impact their kids' future, our generation lives in a much different reality. The economy. Artificial Intelligence. Global conflict. Evolving standards of work. Pandemics. Cybercrime. The only certain thing there is...

The rapid advancement and vastness of today's technology can be daunting. For instance, Artificial Intelligence, once a topic of science fiction, now guides us in baking bread and optimizing our tax returns. Many are concerned about technology's impact on employment. Professionals in various fields are now competing with machines designed for efficiency and cost-effectiveness. While complete replacement of human labor by technology is still a distant reality, it's a looming concern for many, especially creators....

A while back—having grown my business to somewhere around the $25 million in annual revenue mark and still growing at 40% year-over-year—an investor looked me straight in the face and said, with a head tilt and a shoulder shrug, that the business growth I was killing myself for “just wasn’t that interesting.” Wait, what? WTAF?! I swear this is true. This comment was so disjointed from my reality that it led me to a hot...

For some, the idea of being a perfectionist is desirable. "I'm so disciplined that it's a problem," says the person who wants you to respect their hard-working attitude. But for Thomas Curran, a man that has taught psychology at the London School of Economics for years, it's a trap.

When I think of the power of community, I'm reminded of the electrifying experience of watching a megaband like Metallica perform live. While the spotlight shines on James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo, it's easy to forget the army of skilled individuals working tirelessly behind the scenes. From lighting artists to sound engineers, it's a collective effort that brings the magic to life. Similarly, as creators, we often find ourselves in the...

I was recently reminded that the fastest way to succeed is to fail. Literally. And yet the only reason this sounds a little weird, is because we’re constantly falling into a trap. There's No Perfect Plan In fact, I fell into this trap myself not too long ago. I was trying to make this little project work out perfectly (installing a golf simulator at the studio) I was doing all the calcs on paper… Making...

When you think of financial advice, you might think spreadsheets and cutting your lattes to save a few dollars a week, that was at least until Ramit Sethi published his book, 'I Will Teach You To Be Rich' in January of 2009. We spoke on the Chase Jarvis LIVE show several years ago, and in our conversation Ramit touched on some of the most critical skills we all need not just be money smart but...

Curiosity is the fuel that propels us forward, that drives innovation and growth. Yet, so many of us lose curiosity as we grow older. There’s some evidence that suggests that our decrease in curiosity may be related to our increase of knowledge as we grow up. If we already know what we want to know, why should we care? But here's the thing: curiosity is not a luxury. It is critical for life-long learning, keeping...
