Transcript excerpt

Let's normalize no monetizing every single hobby. Social media didn't just change how we show our hobbies. It changed why we have them. Play became our product, and identity has become our strategy. We've started to build our personalities out of algorithms and envy, not because we're fake, but because we're lost. We've forgotten how to do things just because they make us feel good. We need hobbies because not everything needs an outcome. Your passion doesn't owe you a profit, and your joy doesn't need to justify itself. And, yes, you can still build a personal rank, but do it to express yourself, not to extract. Let it reflect your values, not your revenue model.
