btw, there’s something about JR’s voice as he read his NOW published essay at the end of the episode. He should consider attaching an audio option to his future newsletters.

that aha moment Karla found a fresh insight to that JR’s post on “find yourself in others”.

I love the insight because it’s so similar to what i think ive heard viola davis talk about before.

“I think books are forever, and you never know where that book is going to end up. And what a gift to kind of pass on to somebody else a little bit of you within that book. And what a gift to receive that from someone else as well. Rather than buy me a brand new copy of a book, I'd rather someone read it themselves first, highlight or underline things that they liked, and then pass it on to me.” —Karla

what a beauty!!! 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

that book idea is such a phenomenal one. It felt like you had an epiphany moment when you shared it. It just jumped out of you from no where. It’s a brilliant idea!

no! i should thank you Karla. Do you know how bold starting something as loud as a podcast is? the self criticisms, the “would people listen to this”, the “what if i run out of content” and all other voices.

you took a bold step and started with a bang by unpacking Jamal’s knowledge. Well done. Thank you.

Aw thank you! This is one of those rare(ish) occasions where ADHD feels like a super power. I often act on impulse - if I want to do something, I just do it. The self-doubt usually doesn't kick in until afterwards!😂

it definitely is.

since adults don’t want to go sliding or merry-go-rounding, GYM is a perfect place.
