The GRTiQ 10: Julien Genestoux (Ep. 122)
In the latest installment of the GRTiQ Podcast, our host Nick welcomes Julien Genestoux for an engaging conversation ending with the well-known segment, the GRTiQ 10. These ten questions are designed to shed light on the guest’s personality, passions, and wisdom, encouraging listeners to learn, explore, and perhaps discover something new.
Starting with the impactful reading, Julien mentions an article, “1000 True Fans,” penned by Kevin Kelly, the editor of Wired. The article resonated with Julien’s ideas about the opportunities the internet provides to creators, irrespective of the niche, suggesting there’s always a potential audience around the web.
Regarding a movie recommendation, Julien, admittedly not an avid movie watcher, fondly remembers “The Matrix.” He likens today’s web to choosing between accepting what is fed to us without thought or understanding how it’s made to facilitate healthier outcomes.
As for music, Julien says he would choose an album from Daft Punk, a group he enjoys, although he doesn’t consider himself a big music listener.
When asked about the best advice he ever received, Julien reflects on a simple but profound thought: if you can change something, don’t complain about it, change it. This advice has been a driving force for Julien as an entrepreneur, pushing him to take action rather than merely voicing discontent.
In response to what he’s learned that others may not yet know, Julien modestly says he doesn’t believe he’s learned something uniquely his.
Julien’s life hack is a universal one: proper sleep. Having experienced migraines frequently, he understands that a good seven to eight hours of sleep is a crucial determinant of his productivity and overall mood.
When it comes to habits or characteristics that lead to success, Julien emphasizes the importance of managing expectations. He believes that an attention-driven economy tends to inflate our expectations beyond realistic limits, creating stress. Having achievable expectations, he suggests, may lead to a happier existence.
In the final stretch of the GRTiQ 10, Julien reveals his excitement for web3 hinges on its potential for permissionless innovation. For must-follow Twitter accounts, he jokingly says “me.” And lastly, Julien expresses the most happiness when he’s building things.
Through this series of GRTiQ 10 questions, we catch a glimpse into Julien’s motivations, his simple but profound life philosophies, and the joy he derives from creation, providing listeners with plenty of food for thought. https://www.grtiq.com/grtiq-podcast-122-julien-genestoux/
