Vulnerability is the absolute heartbeat of innovation and creativity. There can be zero innovation without vulnerability.

Vulnerability is about showing up and being seen. It's tough to do that when we're terrified about what people might see or think.

It's in our biology to trust what we see with our eyes. This makes living in a carefully edited, overproduced and photoshopped world very dangerous.

Nostalgia is also a dangerous form of comparison. Think about how often we compare our lives to a memory that nostalgia has so completely edited that it never really existed.

Talk about your failures without apologizing.

We're a nation hungry for more joy: Because we're starving from a lack of gratitude.

We are hardwired to connect with others, it's what gives purpose and meaning to our lives, and without it there is suffering.
