I’ve been poking around inside my own head for as long as I can remember, and at some point it turned into a job. I run Inner World Lab, where I help other people do the same thing, usually with less flailing than I did.
For the curious.
Most people treat the inner life as something to manage. I treat it as a place to explore. A talk about what changes when you stop trying to fix yourself and start trying to find out what’s actually there.
For the transitioning.
AI is about to remove a lot of professional identities, and most people have no idea how much of themselves is wrapped up in what they do. I’ve lost mine more than once. This talk is about building the kind of self-knowledge that holds when the scaffolding comes down.
For the hesitating.
Most people wait for certainty before they start. I’ve spent my life doing the opposite, and I’ve learned a few things about how to begin badly, fail without flinching, and let experiments teach you what plans can’t.
Write to me. About speaking, about working together, or about anything on this site that made you want to.
