Episode notes
Resist Idolizing Success
- Avoid seeking fulfillment from fame, numbers, or platform metrics because they become cruel masters.
- Prioritize telling truth in your work while resisting building an idol out of success.
Finding Out About Obama's Playlist
- Dylan learned Obama added his song to a playlist while taking out the trash and not checking socials.
- He received no White House contact and realized the inclusion was simply someone listening, not publicity outreach.
Guard Your Attention Intentionally
- Carve concrete guardrails: silence, Sabbath, scripture, prayer, community, and intentional internet fasts.
- Use tools (like a physical 'Brick' blocker) and offload posting to protect your attention.
