The curse of the modern age is that we have access to what everybody else is doing all the time and so we think and people are only showing us the best version of themselves right and so we think that we have to chase after some illusory cultural narrative and that we should be satisfied

by what other people are doing or what satisfies other people and those people are thinking

the same thing they're comparing themselves with other people too, you know,

we just need to let go of those myths and let go of those ghost rules, those invisible

narratives guiding our lives and we just have to say my only job as a human being is to be here

Be now to be building to be contributing to be adding value wherever I can

To be changing the world around me.

Very few people are called to change the world,

but everybody is called to change the world around them.

When we embrace that ethic, it completely changes

how we think about life. I'm Sreni Rao and this is the unmistakable creative

podcast where you get a window into the stories and insights of the most

innovative and

creative minds who started movements, built thriving businesses,

written best-selling books, and created insanely

interesting art. For more, check out our 500 episode
