Friendly talks between unknown creatives, entrepreneurs, hackers and tinkerers. We tend to only listen to stories of those at the end of their journeys who have succeeded. As if they had a secret recipe for success we can follow. Reality is, there’s tiny yet significant things that separate everyone’s journey. Most importantly way back there was that one initial feeling when you thought just for a second “I’m going to do this.” In our conversations we go all the way back to this moment that we call the First Itch.

"We believe in step-by-step growth. It is what school got us used to. And when we see the anomalies and the outliers strike it big, we make up a fact that explains why they can do it but we can't. So we just stick to what we know. And what do we know? Working harder. The things we want, we work for. It gets so bad that people see money in terms of time. "I can't afford that right now. I have to be earning 4X my current pay. And I have to be a senior executive to earn that. And I can't be a senior executive for another 6 years." Yada, yada, yada. That is what the school system instills in ...

The Bubble Theory is a deep, transformative exploration of the energetic dance between the masculine and feminine within oneself, and how mastering this inner polarity leads to true relational harmony. At the heart of this theory lies one central truth: when you learn to center yourself, you gain the power to shift fluidly into the energy that any moment, relationship, or interaction requires. Every interaction between two people can be seen as a "bubble", an energetic container seeking completion.

If we all want love, why is there so much conflict in our most cherished relationships? To answer this question we must look into our evolutionary past, argues prominent psychologist David M. Buss.

In this eye-opening presentation, Dr. Hawkins discusses the difference between relativism and reality. Relativism claims that perception is reality, whereas reality discerns the essence of something (or an idea) from its appearance.

This Pulitzer Prize–winning history tells the story of how Americans endured, and eventually prevailed, in the face of those unprecedented calamities.

As David Kennedy vividly demonstrates, the economic crisis of the 1930s was far more than a simple reaction to the alleged excesses of the 1920s.
