Embark on a thought-provoking journey with me, Noah, as I muse on the art of embracing the present and the magic it unfolds when we treat it like heaven on earth. The latest "Cafesito with Noah" is not just your regular podcast; it's a live-streamed blend of philosophy, heartfelt updates, and the essence of community spirit. I delve into the challenges of navigating the digital realm, from Instagram woes to Twitch triumphs, all while crafting the upcoming episodes of our beloved series. Amidst the technical tangles, I share the significance of team synergy in transforming our brainstorming sessions into published masterpieces, and extend a warm thank you to those who fuel our gatherings with their vibrant presence.

As we traverse the realms of self-discovery, I unravel the wonders of Human Design, where I find my own nature as a Projector resonating with my life's path and achievements. In an exciting development, I'm on the cusp of unveiling a coaching website, with AI marvels like ChatGPT poised to redefine our communication landscape. And let's not overlook the joy of a birthday wish from an old friend – a reminder of the treasured bonds that outlast life's fleeting moments. Joining me is the remarkable Katie, an MD turned coach, whose mastery in the personal development domain through social media is nothing short of inspiring. We tease a future episode where Katie will unveil the curtain on her transformative journey and the digital strategies that amplify her voice.

To conclude, our episode wanders through the labyrinth of self-expression, confronting the specter of shame and celebrating the cathartic act of singing. I share my own voyage of vocal discovery, from grappling with the judgment that once left me voiceless, to finding liberation in accepting my baritone timbre. It's a testament to the alchemy of personal growth, where embracing vulnerability can transmute our deepest fears into a newfound strength. So, steep your favorite cup, sit back, and let's explore together the boundless potential that lies within the simple yet profound act of taking action, one authentic note at a time.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're about to hear what's coming up next on this
episode of Cafesito with Noah.
I so often just chill there.
I chill in the philosophicalspace, just like ruminate and
kind of like think thingsthrough and find my way to the
heaven experience, no matterwhat's happening in the present
moment right, because it'salways available.
You don't have to do things toqualify to get in.

(00:22):
I can just experience thepresent moment as heaven.
And it's easier said than done,but I've achieved it on some
extent and I know the path there.
And yet I want to be producing.
You know, once I'm sittingthere, I'm like, oh hey, I'm in
heaven.
It's like, well, now what it'slike.
Well, I'd love to make somecontent.
I'd love to have some otherpeople be here with me.
I would love to share theexperience, you know, and some

(00:45):
suffering.
So action and we're live.
Ideally, everything is working.
I'm going to do my quick showthere.
We go.
Twitch coming in hot.
Ah, yes, it is functioningproperly.
Hi, twitch.

(01:05):
I'm going to do my intro onboth things.
So let me go live on Instagram,as usual.
That's what I'm looking at overhere.
This is Gavisita with Noah,which we're going to talk about
more in a moment.
Go live.
There it is, and actionChecking the connection, and

(01:27):
we're live.
Hello, hello.
I can take these off now I'vedone my sound check.
Hmm, interesting.
Well, I'm back with my reallygood internet, so, theoretically
speaking, sounds going to begreat this week.
Hello everybody, welcome back toanother Gavisita with Noah.
This is my long form, free form.
What is it?
Informal, informal content Veryexciting.

(01:47):
Hi Gaspar, hi mom, thank youfor jumping in saying hello, I'm
having a Starbucks Nitro Brew,a Sweet Cream.
Oh, there goes.
Instagram, ignore limit fortoday, instantly, instantly,
tries to limit me.
They really should like cancelthat feature for when you're
trying to do a live, or at leastthey should have a pop up that
says hey, by the way, you setyourself up, you know, for a

(02:10):
screen time notification, blah,blah, blah.
Anyway, wanted to do a quickupdate on the podcast before we
get into the long form.
I also had notes, I justrealized, so I should pull those
up.
But anyway, so for the podcast,I froze.
Okay, let's hope that onInstagram I unfroze.
Let's see if somebody willcommunicate to me whether or not

(02:33):
we're back.
Are we back, brendan?
How's it going?
Ogre, I don't know how topronounce that.
Ogre, I think that's aboutright.
Can't hear you, yeah.
So now they can't hear me onInstagram, which means I'm going
to go like this and end it,discard the video and then
reopen it.
Take two Welcome back.

(02:56):
Uh, I had got hit on my screen.
Uh, what is it called?
It's the thing that limits theamount of time you can spend in
a nap.
I set one up for Instagram so Idon't spend my life on
Instagram, but the second I wentlive, it immediately came up
and booted me off of my own livestream.
I was just saying that before Iget into the long form informal
nature of God, she thought withNoah.

(03:18):
I just wanted to talk about thepodcast real quick.
Essentially, what's coming upfor my podcast?
I already recorded the nextepisode.
Great, oh my goodness.
Technology.
Today, there we go Alreadyrecorded my next episode.
It requires editing, and then Igot to pump it up.
What's up?
Chicken coming in and sayinghello on Twitch, hi chicken.

(03:38):
So look forward to that.
Hopefully, I can get that upsoon.
I'm hoping to get it up thismonth, which means, like you
know, in the next two weeks,ideally.
There's been some otherdevelopments, though, and that's
part of the hang up, butbasically I'm unsure of how long
I'm going to be able to keepthe space that I'm working out
of this studio office.
So I might pivot my strategyfor the next month and try to

(04:02):
bring in as many guests aspossible and just keep recording
, recording, recording and thendo a bunch of editing at once,
so like batch record episodeswith different guests and then
just batch edit andtheoretically I could have a few
months of content that way if Ireleased maybe one episode a
month.
Yeah, I don't see.
And then that brings us to thenext chapter, which is about

(04:22):
team building.
You know, right now I doeverything on my own and
definitely approaching a placeand time where that is
completely sub ideal.
Ideally I could have somebodywho helps me out and edits for
me and helps me just with thewhole pipeline.
There's so many things that gofrom, you know, just setting up
the space, then hitting record,then processing the recording

(04:47):
and then publishing.
You know that's a whole notherthing, not to mention like
marketing and all that.
So it would be nice to startbuilding a team.
If anybody here can help withthat, that would be amazing.
If you have any recommendations, I'm open and ready to hear
them.
But yeah, that's kind of whereI'm at.
So that's what's going on withthe podcast.
Episode three is recorded.
Wait, one, two, three, four.
Episode four has already beenrecorded and we're going to try

(05:08):
to get as many guests in aspossible before I have to move
out of this place and thenrebuild the studio somewhere
else.
Hey Rebecca, hey Hustl, how'severybody doing?
What up, matt?
So yeah, let's check my notesreal quick.
Okay, I just wanted to say alsothis is on my notes that a deep
thank you to everyone who hasbeen first of all showing up

(05:29):
live, like saying hi to you guysis phenomenal.
I love seeing you guys.
That's the whole point ofCofisito with NOAA.
The way I came up with it was.
In real life, I often go outfor coffee with my friends.
It's like one of my favoritethings to do, and for years I've
missed my online community, soI'm like dude.
Instead of overcomplicatingthings, what if I just have
coffee with the friends that Imade in my online community?

(05:52):
And that's what this is.
But I just want to say thankyou to everybody who comes in
live, and then I want to say ahuge thank you, another big, big
thank you to the fans who havebeen listening to this.
After the fact, it was a bigthing about whether or not I
should post it to my main feedon Instagram, for example,
twitch it's there as a video ondemand and ideally I'll move it

(06:14):
over to YouTube maybe if we getsome traction.
But any colleges in the areawhere you live?
Yeah, I live in Los Angeles, sotheoretically I've got a bunch
of people available.
I mean, I'm in like the contentproduction capital of the world
, so I should be able to findpeople.
I guess maybe I should go toCraigslist or something and look
.
In any case, prof, you're oneof the people that I want to

(06:35):
thank.
You know, coming in after thefact, watching the video on
demand, letting me know that youreally enjoy it.
I've had a few people reach outto me and tell me, even a week
after I make the coffee, thoughwith Noah like, oh, I just
watched it.
It was so nice to like connectand like hear how you're doing.
You know, please keep makingthese, etc.
Etc.
And because they're so informal, sometimes it can feel like,

(06:57):
well, is anybody, does anybodyreally care?
It doesn't have a huge valueoffering, etc.
Etc.
But when I get these messages,it tells me that somehow it does
, you know, and so that makes medefinitely want to keep coming
back.
That said, I have, and I haven'tlooked into this yet but I met
a woman not too long ago, maybelike within the last year, at

(07:19):
the Magic Castle in Los Angelessuper cool place, by the way.
She apparently had a successfulsubscription based podcast
where it was kind of it was likeintimate and she just speaks by
herself into a microphone.
It's essentially as if you wereeither talking to a therapist

(07:40):
or talking to like a closefriend, minus the gavacito and
minus the two way interaction.
It's just a one way sort oflike long monologue, but
apparently something about theauthenticity of it and also how
vulnerable it is and sort of,yeah, real is the value offering
.
And I wonder if maybe that isan angle for me as well.

(08:04):
Maybe that could be a sort ofwhat's the word I'm looking for?
Offering, an offering for youguys where we can be close, and
it's the kind of content that Idon't need anyone else to
produce so I can just kind of doit on my own.
It would have a little bit ofinformality to it.

(08:25):
It would be in the sense thatit's just me chatting the way I
normally would, and sort of whatshines through is that sort of
like raw, real authenticity.
So I've been toying around withthat idea and thinking, maybe,
oh, maybe Caffesito with Noahbecomes that, or maybe that's
something like Caffesito withNoah after hours kind of thing.
But we'll see.

(08:45):
It's just kind of been bouncingaround in my head as this sort
of like hmm, how can I get moreof me and the light in me out to
you guys, out to the world,which is like the big quest, you
know, that's like the wholeidea with everything that I'm up
to.
That's like the big hurdle toclear the obstacle, if you will.

(09:09):
The obstacle is the path.
Alright, this is great.
Okay, so my next topic here thatI have in my notes is my life
coaching business.
You know I have a life coachingbusiness.
I've been a coach for man.
It's been like four and a halfyears now.
You know, one of the thingsabout my coaching business that

(09:30):
I've struggled with isdescribing to people what the
hell it is and what I do,because so often it's extremely
personal and I've had timeswhere I whip up an entire
coaching offering that Iliterally had never thought of
doing, had never done before andmake it tailor made to the
person who asked me to coachthem.
So it's been this client drivenprocess, you know, in a real

(09:53):
way, and that's difficult tomarket, or at least it's been
difficult for me to market it.
So you know, I was justthinking in human design.
In human design, I am aprojector, I think, if I'm not
mistaken, spleenic or whatever,and we thrive on invitation,

(10:13):
right.
So when it's kind ofinteresting the way it works,
like when and it's funny because, like I, you know, I had the
life phenomenon happen then Ifound out about my human design
and then I was like, oh, thathuman design stuff actually kind
of maps to this life phenomenonthat's happening, which is we
thrive on invitation, we loveinvitation.
So when somebody invites me todo something, then that propels

(10:36):
me to want to show up and do thething.
So, for example, I was thankingeverybody for showing up here
and saying hello in the chatsand stuff and being engaged.
What's up, nick, how's it going?
Sasha, hi, and so that's thatreally, really works for me.
Like, when somebody invites me,oh, I want to see more Gavacito
with Noah.
Boom, I start producing moreGavacito with Noah.

(10:58):
It's fuel for a projector,basically in human design.
In much the same way, when aclient comes up and they're like
, hey, I need this kind ofcoaching, and I'm like, hey, in
all honesty, I've never donethat specific kind of coaching
before.
Let me, you know, let me see ifI can get back to you, and then
I do, and every time it'salways been successful.
So it's really cool that wayand I guess it's one of my
projector gifts is that theycreate this invitation and then

(11:19):
I can fill the request.
But again, difficult to market.
So what does this mean?
Where am I going with all ofthis?
I'm trying by Wednesday.
That's my goal right now.
That is the deadline that I setfor myself.
I'm trying to have a coachingwebsite complete and what's
exciting is, thanks to AI, likechat GPT, which I've been

(11:40):
playing around with in the lastweek or so, I have incredible
copy for my website that I yo,nick, thank you so much, thank
you, thank you, thank you.
That's like, almost like.
That's kind of one of my firstbirthday wishes, brother.
Oh man, this bumped to you,nick.

(12:01):
Nick, my buddy from preschool,all the way back long term bros,
just wished me a happy birthday.
It's coming up on the 11th ofJanuary a factoid that my best
friend Hunter likes to mess withme, because I'm very proud of
it.
I love my birthday, one, oneone.
But thank you so much, nick.
I really appreciate it.
Where was I?

(12:22):
Oh, I'm gonna have a website,hopefully by Wednesday, not
hopefully.
If I decide to stick to it and Idon't renegotiate the deadline,
which I don't expect to, I'llhave my website done by
Wednesday, and the chat GPThelped me produce some seriously
compelling copy.
What does that mean?
I told chat GPT, in my sort ofinformal way, what I do, and

(12:47):
chat GPT was able, in like 45seconds, to synthesize a punchy
distillation of what I do andserve it back to me.
And, as a matter of fact, nowthat I'm saying this to you guys
, I feel like I might as welljust read to you, while we're
here, what that damn programsaid Granted, like I said, I

(13:07):
gave it paragraphs worth ofinformation and then it used
that to boil it down anddescribe me.
Let's see pulling it up.
So cool.
And then what's neat about it,too is, once I had the skeletal
structure of the thing, itbecame so easy then to be like
oh, of course, this is a greatway to say it Now.

(13:31):
I can edit this and make itcompletely personal.
Make it my own if you will, andoff we go.
So anyway, it's amazing.
Highly recommend everybodychecks it out.
It looks like the servers havebeen overloaded.
My sister tried to use it andit's like you know.
Come back later when we'vescaled our operations, all right
.
So here we go.
I said to this thing hey, givenall the information I gave you,

(13:53):
how would you respond tosomebody who asks what your app
does?
It said Prospera Pro is apersonal finance app that helps
you achieve financial freedom ina fun and magical way.
Facts With Prospera Pro, you'llbe able to track your spending
budget for your goals and makeinformed financial decisions

That said, prospera is not youraverage finance management tool

.
Prospera goes beyond dry,mechanical techniques, because
Prospera believes that achievingprosperity is about so much
more than just money.

I've been talking about thisdamn app for like three years,

little paragraph.

(16:46):
Oh, my god, just so so cool,interesting.
Hello, jdm, I think you mightbe a bot, but anyway, hi, Thank
you for popping in.
Twitch is like a whole newfrontier from where I left it
Anyway, so we'll leave it atthat.

(17:06):
Holy hell, I absolutely lovethis thing.
I can't wait to have these coolwebsites up.
This has definitely been abottleneck in my process for a
long time, and it was not untilI read what this machine told me
, like the copy that it spit out.
I read it and I was like Inever knew that copywriting was

(17:28):
such a huge bottleneck.
I would have gone to Fiverr andjust been like yo, somebody you
know here's what I do, pleasewrite me some copy for a website
and an Instagram bio and etc.
But I never thought to do itbecause I did not know it was a
bottleneck.
The second I saw just howconcise it was.

(17:49):
I was like wow, it literallyinspires me to want to go make a
website, like to want to putthat text on a website.
So anyway, thanks for listeningto that.
That's chatGPT.
Highly recommend you guys.
Check it out, google it.
You know you got to make alittle account to use it and,
like I said, their servers arekind of overloaded right now.
But worth trying it, try it foryour business.

(18:11):
There's a whole bunch of otheruse cases too.
I mean, like the possibilitiesare almost endless.
All right, how are we doing?
We're doing great.
Let's have a little sipity sip,sip.
By the way, the link to all ofmy businesses and stuff is in my
bio on Instagram and foranybody on Twitch.
You can probably find my linkto Instagram in my bio on Twitch

(18:33):
and then you can find or Iprobably have my.
I don't know if I've got mylink tree on my Twitch, but you
know what to do.
Just yeah, two clicks, guys.
Two clicks, we got it.
I'm going to keep streamlining,but in the meantime, two clicks
.
Yo, nick, what do you mean?
What's your job?
Were you a copywriter, bro?
Chatgpt took my job.
Oh dude, that's so brutal.

(18:54):
You got to tell me what thatmeans.
And then we got to, like, getyou trained on prompt writing so
that you can be the driver ofthe thing that took your job.
Then you win again, right?
So I wanted to talk a little bitabout my friend, katie.
Katie, I reached out to her afew weeks ago to potentially be
a guest on my podcast and shewas really excited about that.

(19:15):
Oh, matt, I love you, dudeWielding the sword, cutting down
the bots of the internet.
Thank you so much.
Oh, a little glass of wine, mmm, perfect, I love it.
I got, actually, I have like 11bottles left right over there,
so that might be it.
That could be another offering.
That's another.
That might be the after hours.
It could be a little glass, ifyou need to.
Eddie, how's it going?

(19:37):
Man, welcome, welcome.
Thank you for stopping by.
So, katie is incredible,inspirational, like you know,
unreal.
She's a coach herself.
She was not always a coach.
She actually was an MD, if I'mnot mistaken.
She was a full blown doctor andthen did all of this personal
development stuff and was soenthralled by the leaps and
bounds that she made personallythat she was like fuck this, I'm

(20:02):
not a woman to getting thislevel of freedom and self love
and expression, etc.
The thing, one of the things,one of the things that I find
super remarkable about Katie isshe is a social media machine
and I admittedly don't know ifshe has a team working with her

(20:22):
or if she's just doing it alone.
If she's doing it alone, I ambeyond impressed by her
productivity.
This woman is outputtingcontent regularly.
Talk about copywriting justwriting and writing and writing
and writing and writing.
So I'm really excited to haveher on.
She's so much fun, she's socool and we can get a few of

(20:42):
those techniques tips.
I want to poke her brain alittle bit about her own journey
and also how she manages tokeep up with so much social
media on a day to day basis.
It's inspiring really.
Eddie, I'm doing well.
My guy, you have stumbled intoCapsa Cita with Noah.
I'm not sure if you know whatCapsa Cita with Noah is, when I
look this way, eddie, I'mlooking at Twitch because I'm

(21:03):
live on Twitch, but when I lookthis way, twitch, I'm on
Instagram.
That's what we're doing.
It's six.
Yes, exactly, it is happy hour.
There you go.
Yeah, you know I like a 3pmCapsa Cita here on the West
Coast.
I mean, I like 3pm coffeepretty much everywhere because I
have enough energy to getthrough the first half of my day
and probably have enough energyto get through the second half.

(21:24):
So I like to just drop thecoffee right middle end of the
day carries me through into thenight and I'm kind of a night
owl.
So, anyway, that's why I'mdoing a 3pm coffee.
But sometimes I think I've doneone Capsa Cita with Noah.
That was at noon Could happen.
Double social media yeah, youknow, it's a content thing, man,

(21:47):
it's the modern world.
What can you do?
But, yeah, so drinking a littleNitro Brew with sweet cream.
It's delicious, pretty much myclassic order.
And just talking about what'scoming up.
Okay, cool, yeah, we're prettymuch plowing through my notes

(22:07):
here.
Yeah, yeah, betrayal Starbucks.
I know right, it is what it is.
It's a quick and easy grab andgo.
Besides, you're not.
Are you still at Stamp?
I don't know if you are atStamp.
Stamp is my local coffee shop.
It's where I met Eddie.
That is the best why.
Thank you very much, prof.
But if you're not at Stampanymore, then you know, no harm,

(22:28):
no foul.
If you are at Stamp, I'm sorry,I gotta place my order.
You gotta do a little.
We got, oh, maybe I can uselike Uber Eats or something.
Anyway, it is, the Starbucks ismy grab and go.
Stamp is my sit and chill.
Stamp is Capsa Cita with Noahin real life.
Eddie has been present for manyCapsa Cita with Noah in real

(22:49):
lives.
He gets it.
He took me off the hook.
Landon, hello, welcome, welcome,welcome.
So nice to see you.
I'm waving at Landon.
I would wave at everybody else.
Where's the little thingy?
Nope, it's gone.
Oh wait, it's not gone.
Hold on, I can wave and wave.

(23:10):
I'm just waving now.
There we go.
I got a few waves off.
I don't know how that works.
Landon, I miss you too.
Landon is a very close friendof mine.
I love Landon Also in thepersonal development space.
Total, freaking, unicorn,rainbow, magical wizard, love.
Landon.
Haven't heard from you in aminute, man, how are you doing,

(23:31):
have you Landon?
Have you seen anything aboutthe podcast?
Have you seen anything aboutGod Mode, a player's guide to
life?
I've been putting a bunch ofpeople from MITT, which is the
place that we all, that I met alot of personal development
folks at.
I've been putting them on thepodcast and I keep doing it.
I mean, I love, I love them.
I love them.
A true homie, wow, thank you.

(23:54):
How are you guys doing thisweek?
What's coming up for you?
What are you guys going through?
This is always supposed to be aback and forth conversation.
Parts of a few videos.
Very good, man, that's what'sup.
That's why I make that short,punchy content.
Every long form podcast episode, again with enough work and
hours, gets cut down and recutinto little punchy clips so that

(24:19):
I can sort of export thenuggets and then, if anybody
just wants to chill out, vibeout with me and the guest, they
can watch the whole thing.
It's always available.
Oh, my TikTok, nice Dude guys.
See, I was talking a little bitearlier about the amount of work
that goes into getting me, thehuman, all over the internet and

(24:42):
it's like man, even TikTok,that's what I'm talking about.
And then you've got YouTubeshorts.
Comes in and says, oh, yourvideo can't be more than 60
seconds to be on YouTube shorts.
And at first I was like, okay,so I've got my YouTube
horizontal version.
Then I cut my vertical version,the subtitles on the vertical
version, and then I go to postit on YouTube shorts, after

(25:03):
posting it on IG and on TikTok,and YouTube shorts is like, oh,
it's too long.
So at this point I'm prettymuch like screw it, I'm
literally making 60 second clips.
I'm not even going to go morethan 60 seconds because I don't
feel like cutting it again andthen I'll post it everywhere
like all at once.
But it is a lot, it's a lot,it's wild.
I love it, though I mean, atthe end of the day, one of the

(25:26):
big things, like my word of theyear this year is action, and
the reason I've chosen that wordis because, like, yeah, it's a
lot.
Yeah, blah, blah, blah all theyou know, all of the things that
we think that get in the way ofus wanting to get thing done.
But at the end of the day, whatI've noticed is and I might
have I don't know if I've saidthis before but no matter what,
no matter what I'm feeling, nomatter what I'm thinking, no

(25:48):
matter what triumphs I've beenhurtling over, etc.
Etc.
Every time I return to myYouTube page or to my Instagram
or to any of these things likeTwitch, for example, I look at
how much I've produced and I'mupset that I have not produced

(26:08):
as much as I would like toproduce.
And that is just about action,you know.
And so I've just reduced myexpectations, which is funny
because I still have them.
Like, here we are.
It's great quality, everythingseems to be working, the sound
is working, the lighting is nice.
You know, I have, I have like abar, but I'm just not
overthinking it anymore and I'mjust going to, like, make

(26:30):
squares appear on my differentchannels, right, granted, my
version of not overthinking itis probably thinking about it a
lot more than some other peoplewho have an incredible talent
for just scuffing things andstill getting the value out
there.
So I'm still trying to borrow alittle bit from them and style
flexing in that way.

(26:51):
But otherwise, you know, Ithink just setting my word as
action is kind of cool, and forme it's definitely new, you know
.
Thank you, landon.
A little philosophical genius.
I appreciate that.
You know that.
Just that, you know, that kindof proves my point,
philosophical, right.
I so often just chill there, Ichill in the philosophical space

(27:11):
, just like ruminate and kind oflike think things through and
find my way to the heavenexperience, basically no matter
what's happening in the presentmoment, right, cause it's always
available.
You don't have to, I don't haveto do things to qualify, to get
in.
I can just experience thepresent moment as heaven.
And maybe you know I thinkthat's it's easier said than

(27:31):
done, but I've achieved it onsome, on some extent, and I know
the path there.
And yet I want more of thoselittle squares I want to be
producing.
You know, once I'm sittingthere, I'm like, oh hey, I'm in
heaven.
It's like, well, now what it'slike.
Well, I'd love to make somecontent.
I'd love to have some otherpeople be here with me.
I would love to share theexperience, you know, and some
suffering.

(27:53):
So action, and, as Landon issaying, action, taking action,
creating action, manifestingaction, intentional action.
Hell, yes, exactly, that is it,man.
Do it, just do it.
I think I made a really coolInstagram story post to that
effect.

(28:13):
Instagram story posts are oneof the things I'm most fluent in
.
Like it's pretty, it's.
I have like little obstructionin me when it comes to like me
being like okay, I want to makea story post and I put it up,
those things go well.
Now, granted, again, I'm superannoyed with the Instagram
editor.
I clicked the wrong thing andmy text goes behind the picture

(28:36):
and my gift went behind thething and my whole composition
changes.
Oh my man, eddie, wow.
First of all, absolutely.
Second of all, straight to thebelly of the beast, bro.
Hell yes, let's go into fuckingshame.
Dude, prof, I love it, dude, Ilove that you're here for this

(28:59):
moment where we, like you, justsaw the begin like.
This is the seed level of whatis going to be an incredible
podcast episode with awesomelittle pieces of content all
over Instagram and the internet,and it all started on a
freaking covici, though, withNoah.
Honestly, that might, we mightbe doing that this month.
If you've got, if you've gotany availability, I am in.

(29:20):
Wow, wow, that's the.
That is the topic, that is thequest of all quests Shame, the
most toxic of the humanexperiences.
The poison of the poison,intimacy is the.
If I'm not mistaken, it's thealchemical equivalent, it's the
chemical equivalent to shame,absolute poison which, when

(29:45):
transformed, becomes gold.
Does it get anything else?
Absolutely, dude.
Let's 100% dive in on that.
I love it.
I'm actually writing that down.
I'm writing you into my list.
Where the hail is the list?
That's the question.
We're just going to put it here, shame man.

(30:08):
Wow, that's going to be a hellof a conversation.
That is going to be a hell of aconversation.
Perfect, thanks for pitchingthat.
See, earlier I was talking aboutbeing a projector, which is a
human design thing, and I wastalking about how, you know,
life unfolding really mirroredthe idea of me jumping when I

(30:29):
get invited to things.
And it's hilarious because youjust invited me to my own
podcast and guess what?
I'm jumping on it.
I love it.
It's happening.
It's so fucking lit.
Also, can't wait for your takeon it and your journey through
it, because I know it's going tobe a bright one.
It's going to be good.

(30:49):
And boy have you dropped,kicked your ass to the other
side.
You have, yeah, yeah, you'rethe embodiment, and I'm sure you
still have.
You know your journey, but, myGod, you're the embodiment of
drop kicking barriers that otherpeople get stuck behind.
Not you, eddie, not you.

(31:12):
I love it.
I actually I can't wait.
I really can't wait.
I'm actually super excitedabout it.
Shame is a really good one, yeah, yeah, if it.
I mean yeah, it's like it's anumbrella category.
You know, if it weren't forshame, a lot would be a lot less
painful, a lot less scary and alot less difficult.

(31:33):
Shame's the killer, shame isthe killer.
Shame is like that thing thatcreates the living dead
experience where, like, you'renot dead yet, but you're not
living because you're notallowing yourself to live,
because you're terrified, I mean, and it's completely human,
it's a completely humanexperience.

(31:53):
I mean, there's nothing, youknow, it's the most normal thing
, but you're just absolutelyterrified of experiencing shame.
Frankly, you should be.
I mean, shame sucks, superpainful, super painful.
So I cycling Oslo and Falchon.
So that was what I thoughtabout.
Wow, what a topic.
Look at us go.
This is it, this is it.
Guys, we're really in the copseat with Noah right now.

(32:15):
This is what it's all aboutPing pong.
Is shame greater than fear, prof?
Great question.
Here's what I'm going to sayabout shame and fear.
Shame is the thing we're afraidof.
It's not greater than fear,it's causing the fear.
Yeah, I hear you.
Yep, there you go.

(32:37):
Eddie, damn Eddie.
Eddie and I are going tofucking drop some bombs.
Baby Eddie and I are going todrop some bombs.
Get ready for this podcastepisode, holy shit.
Yes, by the way, prof, don'ttake our word for it, right?
I absolutely would love to hearwhat your thoughts are on shame
and fear and the relationshipbetween them, especially if you
have something that we haven'tmentioned, some other kind of

(32:59):
nuanced relationship between thetwo.
Thanks, man, I love it.
Seriously.
It's keeping me going.
It's keeping me going.
That hits so deep.
Hell yeah, man.
Hell yeah it.
Do it really do.
Let's see what kind of you knowit's like.

(33:20):
I think about shame.
I think about singing.
Singing is something that Ifelt a lot of shame around.
I don't know.
I mean, I guess there is someshame around it.
Even still, it's taking on anew form.
I've really lowered theintensity and the concentration
of the poison in it.
I'm willing to do it, but, man,I had to go move mountains to

(33:48):
get through that.
There's something to be saidabout how things like shame even
especially shame the externalworld and society can use it,
weaponize it to get us in line.
They shame us into cullingbehaviors that they don't, that

(34:09):
are threatening to the rest ofthe tribe, that are threatening
to the past and establishedtradition, et cetera, et cetera.
It can be weaponized, you know,but ultimately and I think this
is the whole thing this is likewhat Eddie and I are going to
be talking about.
This is like this is it rightUltimately?
It's us right.

(34:30):
Ultimately, it's when we alignto it, it's when we feel that
fear, we feel that shame, thatfucking.
Oh, it's like that ice, coldchill that runs through your
spine and it's like.
It is like self-hate aslightning.
You can't, you don't even wantto be in your own skin and you'd

(34:56):
rather just completely conform,talk about living dead.
You literally are just like,yeah, okay, I'm going to axe,
I'm going to murder in coldblood the part of me that I was
about to express and we're justgoing to keep moving on and I'm
just going to be part of thegroup and you know, fuck,
whatever the fuck I was tryingto express before, because I do
not want to feel that.
Anyway.

(35:18):
But my point is it's internal,right, like the person holding
the knife to your throat at theend of the day, unless there's
actually a human.
This is why I'm being carefulwith it.
So, again, it's nuance, it's avery nuanced conversation, but
ultimately inside is where we'reat.
It's us.
It's us holding the fuckingknife to the throat.
It's us like for me, in singing, for example.

(35:40):
I did a bunch of lessons insinging.
I loved it.
I was learning the mechanics ofsinging.
I love singing.
It brings me so much joywhenever I'm singing.
And then I didn't go to lessonsfor a while.
I actually didn't go to lessonsbecause I went to MIT and I did
a bunch of personal developmentstuff.
And the next time that I had asinging lesson, my teacher which
was like seven weeks later,maybe longer, eight weeks later

(36:01):
my teacher was like, oh my God,like have you been practicing,
like you're so much better now?
And I was like, no, I actuallyhaven't been practicing, but I'm
no longer strangling myself asI'm trying to sing.
I didn't even realize I wasdoing it until I just shed so
much of like the self judgmentand I found you know, I found

(36:24):
how to be in and be in motion,like activate a sense of being
Noah and then move through theworld that way.
So I found the way to be and Iwas.
I fucking let myself be free,right, and literally, because
singing is so.
I mean, singing is coming fromyour body.
Your body is the instrumentwhen you're singing.

(36:46):
The self judgment that I hadeven if it was subconscious in
the past, before I did MIT wasso physically present.
I actually have video of mesinging and stuff.
I mean I guess I could try tosing something, but anyway, the
point is it was so physicallypresent that it was as if I was

(37:07):
literally strangling myselfwhile I was in a singing class.
Obviously, that does notsupport your singing.
So once I just showed up and Iwas like I'm no longer judging
myself when I think it soundsbad, like I would still think,
oh, that sounded bad, but Iwouldn't do anything about it, I

(37:28):
would just let it be and sureas shit.
The feedback I got was oh myGod, you sound so much better.
So that was a really positiveleap forward.
You better sing now.
I love it.
I just don't even know what Iwould sing.
Is that?
Yeah, no, I'm feeling into it.

(37:50):
It's not a cop out.
If we come up with something, Iguess I could do it.
Let it be baby, let it be anaction.
Just do it.
Let it ride, let it be.
Absolutely no sense in gettingin front of a freaking.
What is it.
God, it's the impenetrableobject, but the unstoppable

(38:10):
force, no stance in standing infront of an unstoppable force,
an emergence, the emergence ofyourself, in a manner of
speaking is ultimately acrosslifetimes, ultimately an
unstoppable force, and our egois like this little thing.
That's like no Standing infront of that unstoppable force,
so it's going to get wreckedeventually.

(38:31):
I might as well learn to let itbe.
Well, I'll tell you this aboutsinging.
I'm a baritone and I rejectedthat about myself for a long
time.
It's kind of weird, likethere's so many things I've
learned, like, for one thing,I'm a baritone and I would
always try to like.
I would always like, oh, I wishI could sing, you know, like

(38:53):
alto or whatever, like BrunoMars and things like that.
So you know that's like a zebratrying to be a lion or a lion
trying to be an eagle or aneagle trying to be a frog or
whatever.
It's not.
You know, you gotta play toyour strengths.
So it took me a while.
I actually have a playlist onSpotify where I have a bunch of
like pop songs that I reallyenjoy that are in the baritone

(39:15):
range.
Now what's funny is, eventhough I'm not technically like
incredible, let's say I actuallyseem, if I judge myself, I seem
to have a pretty wide naturalrange, and so if I practiced
more frequently and with like aserious degree of dedication, I
imagine that I could actuallyproduce something pretty cool in

(39:37):
myself, which is exciting, andI would like to do that and it's
literally like just a gift forme.
I just don't even know, yeah, Idon't even know how that would
look externally.
It's just about honoringsomething in me that has always
wanted to come out and justspent 29 years being choked back
, just crazy.

(39:58):
But yeah, so you'll hearsomething soon.
We can say, we can say therewill be something soon.
You know, it's funny, I shouldactually cut.
I did a Elvis, I did HeartbreakHotel, it was my it's my first
and, I think, only liveperformance, and I did it at a

(40:18):
theater on Valentine's Day aspart of a lineup, which is crazy
, and I literally blacked outlike I was completely sober and
I walked out onto the stage.
Mind you, for whatever reason,I couldn't get any of my friends
to play in a band with me, soit was just me over a track at

(40:41):
an actual lineup of like bandsand stuff.
So it was like a little bitweird there, right, but I was
like fuck it, I'm going to breakthrough.
One of my friends, Jen,actually put me up to it and
like held me in the fire, likeheld my feet in the fire and was
like you're doing it.
So I did it and I swear man,the second I opened my mouth to

(41:01):
sing, I blacked out.
I just blacked out and it wasactually a pretty freaking great
performance.
It was awesome.
I'm like very proud of it, andit made it to Instagram, but it
didn't make it to Instagram in apermanent way.
It made it to Instagram in mystories, which is something I
was saying earlier.
So I really should go back andput that on Instagram.

(41:24):
Speaking of which, now that I'vegot you guys here, what's your
feeling on posting old stuff onInstagram?
What's the take on that?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I mean I want to do it because,just for the sheer fact alone
that I have amassed so muchcontent, so many goodies like
the Elvis performance, that, forwhatever reason, I wasn't like

(41:47):
in the groove of producingcontent or whatever never made
it.
They never made it in apermanent sense to the internet.
This is the kind of thing where, if I had a team.
I could basically send my teamthrough my archive and they
could be producing all kinds oflittle content, nuggets from
years of documenting my life.

(42:08):
I just wonder about that Like.
For example, there's a lot ofreally cool photos of me with my
white hair.
Never made it to Instagram, butnow my hair is not white.
It's just funny, because it'snot like I would hold back.
Just because it's not like thefact that it's not current would
have me hold back from postingit.
But it is very funny how peopleare like wait, is your hair

(42:29):
white?
Wait, but your hair is notwhite.
It's funny.
It confuses people.
I think that oftentimes there'san assumption that it's current
when you're posting that it'scurrent but it doesn't have to
be.
You loved it.
Oh man, eddie, we got to talkabout this is all connected to
shame.
That fucking look was just asrisk taking for me personally as

(42:54):
skydiving.
Same risk, terrifying.
Dude.
Two years before I dyed my hairwhite and you probably saw these
shoes I don't know if younoticed them I bought myself
some Nikes.
They were the Nike Cortez.
They were white with a redcheck and they were basically
just like Marty McFly's shoes.
So he has a different.

(43:15):
He doesn't wear Cortez.
I think you wear some otherstyle.
But I basically remade hisstyle in Cortez and when I put
those shoes on these are shoes,shoes, like who cares about
shoes I put these shoes on myfeet.
Mind you, I'm thinking theseare the coolest fucking things

(43:36):
I've ever worn in my life.
I put them on my feet and I'mimmediately terrified and
everybody watching this is likehow were you terrified by
putting shoes on your feet?
You're literally on theinternet talking.
Like you know, I get this allthe time in real life.
People are like I can't believeit.
No facts.
I felt so self-conscious walkingaround with my little new Nikes

(43:59):
, you know now, I'm so farbeyond that.
I mean, dyeing my hair whitewas that's a whole another
league, you know, than wearingthe shoes.
But baby steps, literally right, literally baby steps.
This is what I'm talking about.
I've got a lot, you know.
I've got a lot, especially inthe shame folder.

(44:21):
Don't even get me started.
I'm a Capricorn.
I'm a Capricorn.
For those of you who don't knowwhat that means, that means
that in the tarot deck, my caris literally the devil.
I have a lot of things in thislittle head of mine that I
imagine, after this post, awhite hair pick.
It was a complete moment.

(44:41):
Hell, yeah, I'll post it in mystory, for example.
I would go back.
I kind of want to go back.
I took a pit stop back at Brownagain because I want to make all
of my financial managementcontent with brown hair.
Just a style choice.
I guess it just feels more likeI can take myself as a finance

(45:05):
guy.
I'll take myself more seriouslywith the brown hair.
I've already got my personalityis fun enough, right?
You know what's funny?
I feel like my salt and pepperlook is going to be killer.
When I'm in my salt and pepperphase, I'm going to peek.
I'm going to peek in my saltand pepper phase.
You know what?
Actually, I'll tell you guyswhat.
We're having a great time.
I am going to cut the Gavacitowith Noah here on the highest of

(45:30):
notes, because I find that thatis a very good social media
online presentation strategy.
Love you, guys and I'll see younext time.
Thanks for tuning in.
