This interview breaks one of my early, probably unnecessarily arbitrary rules. Keyan is an architect who works in New York City. He is an immersive hobbyist who loves motocross. A deep thinker who loves deep, meaningful conversations. He's also my son in law, and I've told myself I wouldn't interview family.
So much for rules.
In our conversation, we talk about gripping things too tightly versus just being present. We talk about discovering slash, creating your best self, and how Keyan changed his dissertation for his master's thesis in architecture to an artistic self-exploration that revamped his core being.
We also talk about the limitation of words, the beauty of art and creativity, what makes a conversation truly great, and the stifling deterrence of traditional masculinity in meaningful relationships.
In the end, I think that breaking my rule was the right decision.
TOPICS: conversations, honesty, transparency, life formulas, success, being present, masculinity, hobbies, deconstruction.
