  • This week's humanity hall of fame is.... Leonardo DaVinci!!
    Jun 26 2025

    Full episode available to stream now! The real masterpiece wasn’t the Mona Lisa.

    It was the way da Vinci listened to his own mind.

    🧠 7,000+ pages of self-talk, questions, to-do lists, and “remember to buy soap” energy.
    In a world obsessed with broadcasting, he was busy observing.
    Thinking. Sketching. Asking why the sky is blue.

    ✨ A reminder: your internal monologue isn’t noise—it’s a laboratory.
    Write it down. Talk to yourself. That’s where art is born
