D I S C U S S I O N S
Direct-to-camera pieces where I work through ideas I’m seeing in the world and in the field. Calm, practical, built to trade noise for clarity and leave you with something useful.
LOGIC
How to spot when ego is steering the debate in order to recalibrate your “logic matrix” by steelmanning the opposite view, clean up your inputs, and add a three-second pause before reacting. It’s less about changing your mind than upgrading the framework that makes it.
CONVERSATIONS
Great conversations aren’t two people taking turns talking, it's mutual curiosity plus emotional intelligence. Try asking emotionally intelligent questions, “mirror + expand,” and let silence do its work so people feel safe to go deeper.
ARGUING
We’re trained to react; this episode shows how to slow the first impulse, ask “what’s missing?" and build a mental filter (not a wall) so clarity beats outrage. Critical thinking isn’t about being right, it’s about asking better questions.
