When I think about how I want to spend my time, how I want to show up, what I want to say to the people I love — I keep coming back to the same thing. 🤍
The only thing that actually matters is right now.
Because I could die tomorrow. And then what was the point of worrying about something that never even happened?
Genuinely. No point at all.
If I knew tomorrow was my last day I would just choose to be happy today. Not after the goal. Not after the booking. Not after everything is finally figured out.
Right now. With exactly what I already have.
And maybe that’s actually the whole point of life.
Not happiness as the destination you’re working toward. Just happiness as the choice you make today.
That’s all any of us ever really have. 🤍

My guest, @stellastephanopoulos , has always had a bias for action. New York wired it into her even deeper. Get things done. Take initiative. Move with urgency. 🗽
But lately she’s been really trying to lean into something that doesn’t come naturally at all.
Patience.
Because here’s what she’s noticed — she’s been attaching so much weight to labels. If she can just get that label, that title, that achievement — then she’ll finally have a sense of certainty and comfort.
And what she’s come to realize is that the label doesn’t actually guarantee either of those things.
So why put so much pressure on how things look?
The real work — the harder work — is asking how things feel. And that requires tuning out the noise. The labels. The external markers of progress that everyone else can see.
And returning within.
She’s really feeling that deeply right now. And still figuring it out. But she thinks that’s exactly the point. 🤍

I’ve been writing over on Substack a few times a month for almost the last year, mostly observations from traveling or about experiences that I think are interesting.
I’ve been wanting to start an interview series with interesting people doing interesting things and discover how their personal journey intersects with travel and the way they experience the world.
Excited to share the first edition in this series with @stellastephanopoulos & her brand @everydayendorphins . Stella cares deeply about creating happiness and joy. Which these days is more important than ever. We’d be humbled if you’d take a few minutes to read it. LINK IN BIO.

I love seeing @spotifyforcreators drop their 2025 Wrapped but sometimes…it’s easy to get too caught up in the metrics and lose sight of the joy that comes from living the process.
Redefining success has been a huge life theme for me personally and also, a concept I’ve explored deeply across my interviews.
What I’ve come to realize is that success is not just about the numbers you’re hitting, but how you derive meaning from what you share with the world.
And for me — it’s the creative act. The process of building community through honest conversation. The ability to curate events, spaces, and experiences for people to feel connected and find a sense of joy.
So, if this Spotify Wrapped is teaching me anything, it’s a reminder to focus on what energizes you, and the “success” will follow…. 💥
Cheers to a great 2025. I can’t wait to see what 2026 brings… 🎙️❤️🔥
Side note — absolutely LOVE how this community also tunes into @armchairexppod by @daxshepard & @thediaryofaceopodcast by @steven … great minds think alike 😉
