Answer 3

Funny - my sense of humor is kind of almost nonexistent, but I must say I am unbelievably creative. That’s always been the case there’s nothing to do with humor. I am actually an incredible optimist and very enthusiastic about a lot of things are pretty much life and people… I believe is the key to creativity is not so much humor and is more of positivity of some sort.
You can’t be Creative if you’re down and out it’s just the way it is

Answer 4

Andrew. Please please consider having a conversation with Sadhguru and/or Satya Ji. I feel that exploration of the Yogic sciences is underrepresented in your catalog and would undoubtedly be immensely beneficial for your audience. I couldn't possibly think of two better individuals to explore those topics with than Sadhguru and Satya Ji. These topics are so much more practical and grounded in reality than most people realize, and would actually be perfect additions to your work towards science and public health education. Considering your close friendship with Rick Rubin, I feel strongly that this would be a wonderful and gainful coming together of beautiful minds. Love you man and keep up the amazing work!
