How are you not on every podcast talking about principled rebellion?

While I have miles to go around learning to dissent and defy effectively, this concept--along with what i've absorbed so far regarding your curiosity work and research--have been transformative for me, my work and my world.

While recently I may have mischaracterized your work in a comment I made, the above is what I was driving at. My history would have me try to conform and cower more in the face of certain kinds of strong opinions and reactions. While much less than previously in my life, this growing wave of "policing" of language, views, etc. would have felt more overwhelming to me than it does.

Now I have curiosity as one of my most powerful tools. Along with comopassion, hopefully it will help me stay connected and courageous in conversations, interactions, etc. in deeper and wider ways. And these values are not only vital for my world and wellbeing, but also at the heart of my healthcare startup.

Which means you've strengthened the "DNA" of my work we hope helps many, Todd. And for that, I've forever grateful.

I appreciate that Lesli. Honestly, I should try harder to create introductions to Dax Shepherd (who like me lost a parent when he was young and works hard to better himself) and Joe Rogan (who grew up near me on Long Island, NY), etc. I do want to do my share and give this stuff away.

Thank you! Your comments fuel me.
