Tarot is a very important tool for my business. In this episode, I'm unpacking how I use it

What I'm really teaching in this episode is how to work with any tool that gives you access to knowing beyond your rational mind - without giving away your power in the process.

If you're exhausted by AI replacing human voices, automating the soul out of everything, and those hustle-y calls to "adopt AI or be left behind" — we're with you.

But here's the other side. Right now, for the first time ever, you have the power to build tools that are custom-tailored to the exact problems you want to help solve in the world, carrying your specific voice and perspective — without a developer, a designer, or a five-figure budget.

My colleague Danny Lim and I think this is one of the most exciting things ever.

Let's talk about the opportunity, and what it takes to exercise it responsibly.

When ADHD coach Jak Levine-Pritzker asked me to be interviewed for her upcoming book on ADHD and intersectionality, I said yes — and asked if we could share it on the podcast too.

What followed was one of the most vulnerable conversations I've had publicly.

If you're a practitioner that works outside of mainstream institutions, you might have had your work dismissed as a scam, a grift, or a cult — or if you've watched it happen to someone you respect — this episode is for you.

I'm pulling back the curtain on what's actually going on when people throw those words around, and why the answer has almost nothing to do with logic or concern.

I'm inviting you to think about who gets the benefit of the doubt in our culture, who doesn't, and why this matters more than ever for anyone doing work outside the mainstream.

So many of us are settling for lives we never failed at.

Those are lives that were never really lived in, either.

This episode is your permission slip to start failing more, today, at the things that actually matter to you.

It might just be the most beautiful way to live.

If you've ever felt like all you're doing is regurgitating other people's ideas or repackaging your teacher's frameworks, this one is for you. Your original thinking has never mattered more, and I'm going to teach you how to have more original ideas.

Listen to hear more about:

• Why the world needs your thought leadership now — especially if you've been marginalized by existing power structures
• What original ideas actually feel like in your body (hint: it's not angels singing)
• The everyday genius move your brain is already doing that you've been ignoring
• Why the people with the most distinctive points of view aren't thinking more — they're doing this 10 times more

Ready to be more original? Let's go.

If you've ever called yourself lazy, or wondered what's wrong with you for not being able to just sit down and do the thing — this episode is for you.

What if "procrastination" is just the wrong word for what you're actually doing?

Maisie Cheong and I talk about:

• Why we internalize the identity of "procrastinator"
• What invisible work is, why it matters — and what our ancestors knew about it
• Why the people who are always busy "getting things done" might be the least equipped to handle what's coming
• How to get higher quality work out of yourself by changing the way you talk to yoruself

This is my love to courageous ones everywhere.

People aren't just listening to what you say.

They're listening to how you're saying it.

If you're saying something that's worth saying... whatever it is, say it with your full chest.

Say it like you believe yourself.

It matters.
