3-Year Youtube Anniversary! πŸŽ‰ ‍| August 5, 2026

This Week’s Highlight

A short and sweet one for this week. It's my 3-year Youtube anniversary! πŸŽ‰

Reaching this milestone got me reflecting on a question: How do I build a life that stays genuinely curious over the long term?

In searching for an answer, I stumbled upon a brilliant essay by Utsav Mamoria, ​How to Live an Intellectually Rich Life. It outlines three core ideas that anchor this way of living:

  • πŸ”¦ The Torch of Curiosity β€” Guides us to ask deeper questions, bringing hidden ideas into light.

  • 🚣 The Oars of Routine β€” Drives daily momentum and cuts decision fatigue to protect space for deep work.

  • πŸ”οΈ The Mountains of Knowledge β€” Demands humility. True learning requires stepping down from what we know and becoming a beginner again.

Grounding myself in these ideas is what will keep me creating for years to come.

Ultimately, my goal is to live a life optimized for a sense of wonder. I hope to use my platform to share the process of building the capacity to live it.

Thank you for being part of this journey over the last three years. Here’s to the next chapter!
