This is the paid audio version of my Lab. Join my Generosity Network for access.
I facilitated a 3-day retreat in a cabin in the woods, explored the relationship between capitalism and community-building, and published an article about airtime — a critical concept for human connection enthusiasts.

ONE QUOTE — Correcting
When you correct someone, you are signaling that you don't like what they are saying. The ego wants to be right. The ego wants to find differences. When you feel the urge to correct someone, at least let them finish… Or better, ask a question instead.
One thing I witness people do all the time is interrupt and correct people that they're connecting with. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
ONE BEHAVIOR — Curiosity
Ask, “What’s your theory?” if you sense argumentation arising.
I read about this in a negotiation book. I’ve added it to my list of ‘power phrases’ that I regularly use in my life.
ONE RESOURCE — Minimalism
This encapsulates my life philosophy very well. It also features my meditation teacher: Sam Harris, who speaks about how distracted the world is.
Key quote: Love people, use things. Not the other way around.
ONE PERSONAL UPDATE
As you may know, I have an ecommerce business. This week, I went out on the streets and gifted PeeSport Pee Bottles to Amazon Drivers. They were happy!
