The GRTiQ 10: Alex Pakalniskis (Ep. 95)
This week’s GRTiQ 10 featured Alex Pakalniskis. Offering listeners a deeper understanding of his influences and perspectives, Alex’s insights provide a captivating journey into his personal and professional life. The GRTiQ 10 is a weekly segment diving into the personal inspirations, influences, and insights of our guests, aiming to inspire listeners to discover new perspectives, embrace novel experiences, or achieve more in their lives.
A significant book in Alex’s life, “Brave New World” sparked thought during his younger years. Later, the profound philosophies of Foucault further shaped his perspectives. When it came to visual media, Alex highlighted the subjectivity of individual taste, suggesting that one should engage with content that brings joy or triggers genuine emotion.
Music, on the other hand, holds a special place in his heart. Being a musician, Alex leaned towards the album “Saturday Night Wrist” by Deftones, reflecting his deeper connection with musical vibes. As he recalled significant advice that impacted him, three simple yet profound words from his high school friend, Ricky Darling, stood out: “Go for it.” Such words emphasized the power of taking chances.
A rather unique insight Alex brought to the table was his skill in drone data collection, acknowledging its niche nature. In terms of productivity, treating his to-do list like a project board was a game-changer for him, minimizing stress and optimizing efficiency.
A blend of persistence and self-awareness emerged as Alex’s formula for success, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach. His enthusiasm for web3 revolved around building communities and witnessing the “aha!” moments of individuals understanding decentralization. In the realm of social media, while recommending GRTiQ for staying updated on episodes, Alex emphasized the importance of infusing positivity into one’s feed, balancing the heavier content with lighter, joy-filled moments.
Summing up his source of genuine happiness, Alex finds contentment in being in the zone, whether it’s coding, cooking, or jamming. It paints the picture of an individual who immerses himself fully in his passions, resonating with listeners and urging them to find their own zones of happiness.
