You don’t have to choose between being cool or being deep. There’s this myth that if you’re that person who doesn’t give a fuck, you can’t also be thoughtful or intellectual—that you’re either the wild one or the wise one. But in this episode, we break that illusion. Let’s talk about how confidence, edge, and introspection can actually go hand in hand—and why being smart doesn’t make you any less of a badass.

This past week, I had a revelation that changed my perception of reality. I left my smartphone at home. Nothing special, right? But then I did it again and again. After three days, something happened. I started to feel peace. I felt free from all negative emotions. I still cannot believe it, but I haven't felt that happy and free since I was 15 years old. Now I'm 27. Gen Z has been imprisoned by the screens, and lost a sense of what reality should feel like. We are not supposed to feel anxious a...
