[More like an experiencing than an experience: a process that begins but doesn't end.]

[Words are so dead that they cannot represent anything alive. When you really feel something, it becomes impossible to express verbally.]

Part of Osho: Tantra — The Supreme Understanding.

Bootstrapping Transistor.fm to 13,000+ podcasts

[It's uncommon for successful entrepreneurs to start from zero: they likely have experience, connection, skills, or a financial runway that provides the conditions to take risks.]

[If it takes longer to get to a sustainable income than you have runway, the market fundamentals might not sustain you.]

[A mental health balance is an important part of your runway when taking on something as stressful as indie hacking.]

Leaving a $500k job to build a portfolio of small bets

[People are willing to pay $30 to $50 to learn everything you know about a topic. What do you have in your head, experience or computer that others would be willing to pay for it?]

[People follow you because they think they will gain something useful for themselves. It can be almost selfish.]

Pat Metheny Group: Secret Story (2007)

Eclectic sonic materials throughout that resemble the album cover’s collage, yet it all seems to belong together. There’s always emotion and sentiment despite compositional complexity. Generally enjoyed the cinematic moments, mood of the 1970s, and the mixing of orchestra with electronic sounds. My favourite moments: an interesting vocal texture to start the album in Above the Treetops; the sound of a sitar played like a guitar in Facing West; the raw earthy vocal scatting and hard sever-meter groove in Finding and Believing; the high-energy vortex soloing environment, abundance of lush harmonies (typical of Metheny’s music) in See the World.

[Emotionally immature people can push humor on others as opposed engaging in it to strengthen bonds.]

[Too much sarcasm can mean a closed person who fears connection.]
