ANECDOTE

Lying Down In Public To Learn Discomfort

  • Sam lay down in Union Square to practice recognizing arbitrary public discomfort and noticed his body instantly demanded he stand.
  • The exercise showed that most public anxiety is internal and that people rarely judge you as much as you imagine.
ANECDOTE

Learning From Cofounder Resentment

  • After leaving his prior startup Sam realized he had held cofounder resentments and lacked language to address them earlier.
  • He now practices direct conversations with his Levels cofounder to surface and resolve tensions quickly.
ADVICE

Name Emotions Early To Avoid Resentment

  • When you feel unexplained frustration at work, immediately flag the emotion and invite diagnosis instead of letting resentment grow.
  • Use simple, non-accusatory language to surface feelings and enable incremental improvements.
