During a recent GRTiQ Podcast, Colson provided listeners with a glimpse into his perspectives on life, personal influences, and insights that shape his daily decisions. 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.

Colson began by discussing the book that had the most impact on his life: “The Molecule of More.” This book delves into the science of dopamine and how it influences our desires, decisions, and behaviors. Colson found its insights particularly enlightening for understanding human motivation and the pursuit of happiness.

For a captivating documentary, Colson recommended “The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young.” This film chronicles one of the world’s most challenging ultramarathons, offering a fascinating look into the determination and resilience of its participants.

Musically, Colson prefers DJ sets over traditional albums. His top recommendation is the Fred Again Boiler Room set from 2022, which he finds exceptionally engaging and representative of his musical taste.

The best advice Colson ever received was to “never be afraid to ask questions.” This simple yet profound principle has guided him in seeking knowledge, understanding, and growth throughout his life.

When asked about something he’s learned that others might not know, Colson modestly admitted that he views everyone as very smart, making it difficult to pinpoint a unique insight he holds. This humility reflects his respect for the intelligence and experiences of others.

A significant life hack Colson discovered is the importance of structure in his daily routine. By scheduling five key elements—sunlight, diet, exercise, breaks, and sleep—into his day, he has seen a tremendous improvement in his quality of life. This structured approach ensures he maintains a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

Reflecting on success, Colson believes that curiosity is the key characteristic that drives people to achieve great things. This intrinsic desire to learn and explore fuels continuous growth and innovation.

Colson expressed his excitement about web3, particularly its vibrant and supportive community. This enthusiasm for the collective energy and collaboration within the web3 space drives his engagement and contributions.

For social media followers, Colson recommended following Graph Advocates on X, formerly Twitter. This group provides valuable updates and insights about The Graph and the broader web3 community.

Finally, Colson shared that his happiest moments are when he is dancing with lovely people. This simple yet joyous activity brings him immense happiness, reflecting his love for social connections and shared experiences.
