We’re taking a psychological approach to finding the intersection of our creative and analytical selves to achieve greater balance in how we think, learn, and interact with the world around us. We’ll be interviewing thought leaders across industries including broadway stars, career performers, bestselling authors, professors, doctors, executives and entrepreneurs to learn from their stories, struggles, and successes. We’ll be going deep into art and education, business and finance, relationships and communication, as well as psychology and mental health. We’ll dive into how we can overcome our natural obstacles, form deeper connections, turn our ideas into our realities, and become as self-aware as possible to set ourselves up for long-term fulfillment, happiness, and success. Join us as we try to be a little better tomorrow than we are today.
