Welcome back everyone to the Love Life podcast. I am here with Matthew Hussie of course of all people

Matthew, how are you today? I'm great Steve. Good. I've got James and with me. He's

at his oat milk latte and he's all pepped up. So Matthew boy. I have a cappuccino this

time of day Steve. It's a little less less milk. I was thinking recently about a post

that our mutual friend, Remete, wrote recently, Remete Sati, talking about how top performers

in any field often have weird habits that they often wouldn't talk about a lot, but like

weird things that are conducive to them being successful at what they do, you know, maybe

just things that aren't just the conventional advice. Do you think that what has got me

thinking about basically is that I don't feel that enough people embrace being a bit weird?

I think there are forces in society that are always trying to get you to conform to anything

that's a bit out of the box, a bit strange about you. You do things a little differently.

You don't really subscribe to that social custom. You're kind of made to feel either ashamed

or like, oh, that's too weird. You shouldn't do that. You should just be very do something

conventionally the way everyone else does it. And I feel like it's sort of, I feel like

people need to be nudged to be more weird. What do you think of that? I know it's an abstract

question. It is. But I do think I feel that something there. I am, I don't think I have

to be nudged. I think anyone gets close to me realizes I've got my little idiosyncrasies,

my little, what's the word? Piccadillos? Piccadillos? Yeah, Piccadillos. You know, I've got

my things that I, but I think everyone is weird already. I think the problem is we don't

express it. I think it's not that people need to be nudged to be weird. It's that people

need to be nudged to be vulnerable with their weirdness because they already are. Right.
