Have you ever felt unloved—even when surrounded by people who care for you? In this episode of Now I Get It, I unpack the paradox of “dying of thirst in an ocean of love.” Just like seawater can’t quench your thirst, love that isn’t recognized or understood can leave us feeling empty, no matter how much is actually there.

Through a metaphor-rich exploration, I walk you through four key questions we unconsciously ask when processing love—Is it? What is it? What is it worth? What does it mean? By looking at these questions and how different orientations shape the ways we give and receive affection, you’ll discover why love languages go unnoticed and how to become more attuned to the forms of love flowing around you.

In this episode, you will learn:

• (00:30) Why being surrounded by love doesn’t matter if you can’t recognize how it’s expressed
• (02:10) The four questions that shape how we notice, value, and interpret love
• (03:15) How sensory experiences and traditions can be overlooked as love languages
• (05:00) Why some people show love through acts of service while others prefer shared ideas
• (06:45) How focusing on feelings, values, and unity reveals hidden expressions of care
• (08:30) Why surprises, symbols, and shared visions of the future are powerful ways to give and receive love

When it comes to business, measurement is everything—or at least, that’s what we like to believe. In this episode of Now I Get It, I dive into the hidden traps of relying on metrics as tools for rewards or punishments and how doing so destroys their actual value. I also unpack how numbers get gamed, why this leaves businesses flying blind, and what the latest economic data reveals about our collective blind spots.

But the conversation doesn’t stop there. We explore the Heisenberg effect and how the very act of measurement changes the thing being measured—sometimes in subtle but important ways. And to ground this in real-world decision-making, I connect it all back to probability and betting, showing how the logic of a wager can help us sharpen our understanding of risk and make smarter, more informed choices in business and life.

In this episode, you will learn:

• (00:22) Why using metrics as rewards or punishments destroys their value
• (01:10) How the jobs report reveals deeper problems in measurement
• (01:49) What the Heisenberg principle teaches us about observation and change
• (02:47) The difference between interaction that alters a system and interaction that doesn’t
• (04:15) How probability reflects the information we already have, not the future
• (05:00) Why betting is the clearest metaphor for making decisions under uncertainty

When people say, “That’s not what I voted for,” it reveals a common misunderstanding about how representative democracy actually functions. In this episode of Now I Get It, I share personal stories—from my early attempts to call my representative, to watching my own business collapse under the weight of trade games—that reveal just how little control voters truly have once the ballots are cast. Campaign promises may sound like contracts, but legally, politically, and practically, they aren’t.

I also explore fascinating historical examples, including the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade, to show how insider maneuvering and hidden strategies—not public will—often drive political change. From the “just enough votes” tactic to the way parties protect their own careers, we’ll unpack the uncomfortable truth: you’re not voting for policies or people, you’re voting for the machine that runs the show.

In this episode, you will learn:

• (00:55) Why campaign promises aren’t binding contracts—and the legal loophole that protects politicians.
• (02:46) How my own business was derailed by political games around China trade.
• (05:15) The little-known legislative trick that helped bring down the transatlantic slave trade.
• (07:30) How “Trojan horse” bills sneak through unnoticed, even by lawmakers themselves.
• (08:45) The political charade of “just enough votes” and how it deceives voters.
• (09:40) Why you’re really voting for parties, not people or policies—and what that means for democracy.
