All we can say here is go to YouTube and find as many Dean Potter videos as you can (Check out the Sky Walker documentary). You can start out with this one. The guy looks Fear in the face and calls its bluff.
Remember the next time you think something is impossible that Dean walks slacklines with no harnesses. No nothing. Just his body and his willpower.
Ever since we came upon this article earlier in the week, we’ve been reading it almost every day since. The great comedian Louis C.K. sat down with Pitchfork for an interview on, well, just about everything. A great Sunday read if you’re looking for laughs and inspiration all rolled into one tight bundle.
Our favorite quote?
“People get tired of processing life is a linear way. When you watch my show or my stand-up, you’re opening the top button on your coat and sitting back, but with your brain.”
Another great video from Big Think, this time with Rainn Wilson speaking about creativity. He’s much, much bigger than Dwight K. Schrute. A fact that Dwight would probably disagree with.
