Critical Thinker | Serial Entrepreneur | Creative 

Andy learnt the joy of being a creator when he applied a lot of what he had learnt theoretically when he started his first start-up, a micro-brewery. 

He got into journaling when a teacher in college taught Julia Cameron’s The Artists Way and Morning Pages - Frame of Consciousness (Value of writing, reflecting, thinking) for 3 months as part of a class.

Here are some excerpts from the conversation -

“Pay attention to what you are afraid of.”

“Come up with your own system of values - Make decisions for yourself”

What do does Andy value?

- Humor; 

- Risk - Rich parts of life unless you take risk. 

How to reflect on good and bad things? Reflect on bad things by thinking of why something happened, not by pinning the blame on somebody but to get the root cause of why something bad happened and what could be done to avoid that in the future. 

Reflect on good things by writing down in as much detail as possible how something feels like. Chase that feeling.

Write down why decisions were made the way there were and reflect back on it from time to time. 

How can one be more gentle with oneself?

Wait. But Why? - Tim Urban - https://waitbutwhy.com 

Write down how that feels at that moment. If something feels bad or ugly, it mostly is a misalignment between something doing and the belief. 

Ben Franklin Effect - The Ben Franklin effect is a proposed psychological phenomenon: a person who has already performed a favour for another is more likely to do another favor for the other than if they had received a favour from that person - How to ask for help? People want to add meaning to their life and to the lives of others. So when asking for help, provide context and tell them that you were in a similar spot as they are or were and would want to talk about it. 

Kurt Vonneget - We are asking our spouse to be too many people?

Conference – A good way to think about networking in a conference is to answer the question of - Can you be friends with this person for 10 years? 

If the answer is yes, a simple way to add depth to your conversation is to simple ask – “I am really enjoying this conversation, do you want to grab a coffee or go for a walk?”
