oh wow! I echo Michael's comment - thoroughly enjoyed this and thank you, James and Khe for making this a more reflective conversation. So much value throughout but 22.50min was IT. How DO you start to know yourself? And thank you also for explaining more around the value of life coaches and being so direct about it. Much appreciated. Subscribed to both.

Fantastic conversation, I really enjoyed this. Thanks for diving into this side of Khe, rather than the productivity side. Looking forward to taking his course.

Came through one of khe's newsletters and enjoyed this window into who he is beyond email, work, productivity, etc + glad to have found a new, quality youtuber that seems to maximize quality - question: what are some of the video tips you helped him with?
