I just don't think a lot of people understand that that curiosity is inside of each one of us. So it's really about allowing yourself to be silly, allowing yourself to relax and more, be comfortable with who you are and let who that person is out. I think we are really, really afraid of that authenticity that's inside of us and how people might judge us.

Like I said, if we dressed up like SpongeBob and came to work.

That's right. That's right. That's exactly right. If you actually think about what you are, we are an animal. When we die, we decompose and we become dirt. So what else are we? All of this is just an avatar. But there's something inside of us that yearns to be creative, that yearns to build things, that yearns to change the world, that wants to have a purpose for being here.

And we deny that spirit its existence every day. I am guilty of this. Everyone's guilty of this. You spend time with children and you spend time with dogs and you go out in nature and you bathe in nature. You start to realize the things that truly matter. Like when I came out of the hospital after having my stroke, I fell to my knees because of the air.

When the air hit my lungs and I was like, whoa, what if I never got to breathe that again? How magnificent. The sun was on my face and I was like, how splendid. That's what truly matters in the world. Like we make up all of these stories inside of our heads about what's important.

But what's really, really important is remembering just how precious life is and how we have a short amount of time to accomplish all of our dreams. And they're all accomplishable. And I really, really hope that when people listen to this, they try to figure out how to tap into that creative, curious side, because I'm endlessly curious.

My biggest complaint is there's not a thousand of me, that I'm not scalable. I would love to have multiple Cyan agents out there roaming the world.

Yeah, learning as much as they possibly can. So for me, my appetite for knowledge and for everything is insatiable.

If you think about it, business is just art. The US Constitution is a piece of art. Money is art. Contracts are art. Code is art. So the art of storytelling is art. So when someone's in front of you and they're giving you a pitch, they're telling you a story about who they are and what they want to build.

So immediately I'm a visual thinker and I start spinning up a universe in my mind of what they're trying to build. Ideally, I've already thought about what they're trying to build by daydreaming, by sitting around and immersing myself in the world. I go to strange conventions that most of my colleagues would be like, why on earth are you spending time at these places?
