Crazy Wisdom

I sit down with Christopher Michel to talk about photography, creativity, stress of talking to strangers, taking pictures all over the world, the cultural complexity of taking pictures of strangers in different countries and a lot more.  Follow Chris here: https://twitter.com/chrismichel

Dulma and I talk about what it means to create something that requires 100% of your effort and if its possible to remain balanced in the process. Dulma has a lot of wisdom to share and I like her definition of suffering about half way through. Check out Makelane here: https://www.makelane.com/

Ben and I sit down to talk about the growth of technology innovation and entrepreneurship in Singapore. Ben knows a lot about this seeing as his an EIR at Entrepreneurs First in Singapore.  He is also the host of the Idea Machines Podcast which can be found here: http://www.ideamachinespodcast.com/

This is a really great low down on the Mexican (and overall Latin American) startup scene from someone who has experience in both San Francisco as well as Mexico.  We get into the specific challenges of what it means to raise money in Mexico and entrepreneurs there are limited by the old school capital. Highly recommend it if you are interested in global startups.  Follow Domingo here: https://twitter.com/sundaywar

Kamal and I talk about his philosophy for loving oneself and how to do it. The day we recorded I was actually in the midst of a pretty deep depression and so it was telling that Kamal's message was to love myself, which I do believe is the way to get to the root of the depression.  Check out Kamal's book here (or search for "Love yourself like your life depends on it" on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QLDWRWK/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0

The answer from James: "When it creates problems, rather than dissolving them." If you like the episodes with Kapil and with Kunal you will like this one. Be warned I kept the long pauses as well. Enjoy the pregnant silences! Find James here: https://twitter.com/jimmpierce

We also discuss the topic of using your strengths to help support the areas where we are weak. Krystal runs a business that is past 100 employees and she has a lot of insight into what it means to build such a business from the ground up. If you are starting or running a business this is a good episode for you to listen to. Also if you happen to feel like a 3rd culture kid this would also be interesting for you as Krystal shares her experience with that.  Find more info on Bentobox: https://getbento.com/
