Let There Be Light: How To Illuminate Consciousness & Biology w/ Matt Maruca #419
The Life Stylist
Is There a Higher Consciousness?
In one period of meditation or a greater level of thinking, i can arrive at a higher consciousness and just sa, weit. There's no solution to the problem that seems so complicated verses like "There is no such thing as physical helium" The only emotion that needs to be overcome in order for us to move on with our lives is scarcity - lack. We have to disssociate from this addiction by not allowing ourselves to think about it every day.
What if one could just be in their own presence – and not base their value on what's being produced or accomplished? My guest today is Matt Maruca, founder of the eyewear brand, Ra Optics, and just an overall energy beam of a person. We ponder this question, and so many more, in this deeply introspective and intellectually adventurous episode.
We dissect decision making, the process of prioritizing who and what is important, and why; the ultimate work/life balance and the pitfalls of hustle culture; and bounce back and forth on an overarching theme of breaking through to the upper limit – The 21st Floor, for the purpose of this conversation – and how we might stay there.
Matt’s informed perspective and ability to question himself and the world around him, especially at such a young age (22!), is really impressive. I’m excited to present this, his second appearance on the podcast, as his relative youth has meant continued, rapid, and insanely thoughtful development in his worldview. It’s energizing and inspiring to see his ascension, even since the last time we spoke.
He also walks us through some of the ups and downs he’s faced while scaling his company, which he’s graciously offered a discount for. Listeners of the show can visit lukestorey.com/raoptics and use code LUKE for 10% off.
