S2:E9 The World is My Oyster
Welcome to the fascinating world of Kinky Knot's Cafe, Proactive is the Way, where we fortify your mind, body, and spirit with effective tools and resources. We are on an ever-evolving journey of self-growth and realization, seeking to build the life we always dreamed of in our radiant determination for a better future.
On this episode, we are revisiting a topic from Season 1, Episode 2 of the Designing Your Life series. We look back at our odyssey plans and marvel at the tremendous advancements made in our personal and professional life. As we hail our achievements, we realize our plans need to be even bigger! You'll hear about two phenomenal plans that culminated in consequential results, teaching us to stop playing small in this grand world.
Yet, why revert to designing life again, you might wonder? Our episode elaborates on the role of a designer in sharpening your life's blueprints and harnessing opportunities for growth. After successfully fulfilling two out of three Odyssey plans, we find ourselves ready to execute and share the third strategy.
This journey involves discovering the concept of prototyping in a designer's universe, a creative process that brings our biases, assumptions, and empathetic understandings to the forefront. An integral part of having the courage to be vulnerable, prototyping allows us to envision our future while living it, extending an exciting venture to understand a new career path and foster a supportive community.

S2:E8 The Courage to be Vulnerable
We are continuing our discussions on how to be more radically open minded which is one of the principles highlighted in Ray Dalio’s book, Principles. In our efforts to get ahead of the barriers that prevent us from being open minded 2 weeks ago in S2:E7 we reviewed the barriers and honed in on the source or cause of those barriers, fear and the inability to be vulnerable.
Today, we are going to take this theoretical knowledge and look at some real world examples by learning about Gregory Styan and how changing his accent to rub elbows with a Russian Billionaire and the strict family values within Julie Coraccio’s life impacted their ability to build better relationships and live life fully and unashamed.
