This conversation explores how margin and attention have become revolutionary acts in a world designed to overwhelm us.

Through personal stories of depression and King David's intense emotional expressions, he offers a practical 5-step approach to understanding your emotions as valuable signals rather than inconvenient obstacles. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, can't identify what you're feeling, or just want better emotional intelligence, this talk provides actionable strategies for using emotions as guides to what you actually need.
