“There’s lots of ways to be, as a person. And some people express their deep appreciation in different ways. But one of the ways that I believe people express their appreciation to the rest of humanity is to make something wonderful and put it out there. And you never meet the people. You never shake their hands. You never hear their story or tell yours. But somehow, in the act of making something with a great deal of care and love, something’s transmitted there. And it’s a way of expressing to the rest of our species our deep appreciation. So we need to be true to who we are and remember what’s really important to us.” —Steve, 2007
The Unreasonable Art of Living
This is my life’s work in public. A raw documentation of the unreasonable art of living: thoughts, failures, experiments, emotions, conversations. I’m figuring it out as I go, learning, building, questioning, creating.
The podcast is also where my co-founder Justin and I document our journey building Eleven Dunbar, what it actually feels like to launch something that matters. The tension. The doubt. The meaning behind it.
And because intensity needs balance, we started a new format: I teach Justin AI tools while we build the internet’s strangest, most impractical ideas, submitted by you. Everything we make gets open-sourced.
This is for the engineer who secretly writes poetry, the founder or leader who wants to learn how to play again, the artist curious about how AI can expand their expression, and the builder who refuses to become typical.
This is about staying original in an age of automation.
About mastering the art of being human.
“The reasonable person adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable person.” - George Bernard Shaw
