Coming up on the Mark Devine show, you can't see anything about other humans unless you

use your own humanity.

You can't look at people and truly understand them as if they are bacteria in a petri dish.

You have to use yourself and so if you don't understand things about yourself where you

come from, you can't understand how other people are.

Welcome to the Mark Devine show, this is your host, Mark Devine.

On this show, I speak to folks from all walks of life to learn and discern how to be fearless

and courageous.

I talk to some of those inspirational and compassionate, resilient leaders, martial arts

grandmasters, military leaders, high-powered CEOs, stoic philosophers, and individuals who

are experts at things like consciousness and attention like my guest this week, Christian

Mejberg, who's the author of Look, How to Pay Attention in a Distracting World.

Christian's a co-founder of the Consultive from Red Associates, he's a writer, a speaker,

teaches widely on the practical application of the human sciences, his work has appeared

in multiple publications, Wall Street Journal, Atlantic, Washington Post, Financial Times,

et cetera, et cetera.

He lives in New York City with his family.

Christian's super great to have you on the Mark Devine show.

How are you, sir?

I'm good.

I'm good.

Me too.
