Send us a text I want to jump in on producer Brian Koppelman & Seth Godin’s conversation about putting pressure on yourself in a “Productively Generous” kind of way.

Send us a text Most people live with certainty thinking that just because they can’t see or sense uncertainty, that everything’s cool. So they live with certainty instead of playing with certainty.

Think about how powerful comparison is. And I don't mean in a good way either.
