I’ve heard so many interviews with Iain McGilchrist and have savored every one but I’ve never heard him interviewed so well. I felt Andre brought out a very particular depth and fluidity - like the questions were so immaculately matched to the essence of his message, such an exquisitely in tune energetic match here. I loved every second and this will be one I’m going to watch twice. Thank you - what a beautiful conversation, so much of it was poetry alone. 💫

This really resonated. The reminder that slowing down and trusting intuition allows us to see the world as alive. It’s in those quiet, attentive moments that meaning and inspiration actually reveal themselves.

I’m so happy to see Dr. McGilchrist here! I actually suggested in one of the surveys to have him as a guest. Beautifully profound conversation, his wisdom is so much more than just accumulation of knowledge. I’m really glad he’s reaching a wider audience through this conversation. Thank you Andre for bringing treasures like him to light.

In my design classes, we learned about “negative space”. It’s not actually “negative”, it’s the space between the legs of a chair, the space that makes the chair large enough to support a human body, that makes the chair function as a chair. “Negative” space is crucial in design. It’s what makes design work. In that sense it is not negative at all. Like the time space in between the musical notes without which the notes themselves are an incomprehensible jumble.
