“I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.”
We recently released a re-design of Learn It Live! Loving it.
Nerd alert: Sometimes when I edit CSS I like to play songs about boxes.
All art stems from a place of alienation. Intimate and alone. Most people are oppressed by the opinion of others, but I was not that way. I was afraid of the repercussions of not doing what I was told to do, what I was called to do by a creator.

No matter what you do, all that is getting turned into gobbledygook. In 200 years, it’s all dust, and in 300 years, it ain’t nothing, and in 1,000 years, it’s like you weren’t even here. But if you were really lucky, if you really did something special, you can hang around a little longer.

I recently had the chance to interview CNN Anchor Natalie Allen. She was the keynote speaker of an environmental summit we put online.

“A true bubble is when something is over-valued and intensely believed. Education may be the only thing people still believe in in the United States. To question education is really dangerous. It is the absolute taboo. It’s like telling the world there’s no Santa Claus.”

“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”
