The GRTiQ 10: Danny Zuckerman (Ep. 181)
In the latest GRTiQ Podcast episode, Danny Zuckerman shared his insights and perspectives during the GRTiQ 10 segment, offering listeners a candid look at his personal influences and philosophies.
Danny named The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt as the most impactful book he’s ever read. This life-changing book, which he re-reads annually, transformed his understanding of cultural differences, political disagreements, and the dynamics of engaging with others who hold opposing views. He’s recommended it widely, reflecting its profound influence on his worldview.
For a TV recommendation, Danny cited The West Wing as the best show ever made, highlighting his enduring admiration for its storytelling and dialogue. He’s rewatched it numerous times, appreciating its depth and inspiration.
The best advice Danny received was to “be more curious and less defensive.” This perspective, which he strives to carry into his daily life, helps him approach challenges with openness and a desire to learn rather than focusing on being right.
Recently, Danny learned to embrace life as a series of phases, allowing himself to let go of past priorities and adapt to new stages of growth and focus. This mindset has been especially valuable in both his professional journey as a founder and in his personal relationships.
Danny’s go-to life hack is starting each day by reviewing a short, personalized page of reminders and goals. These include his aspiration to be curious rather than right, along with other principles that guide his daily actions. When paired with journaling, this routine helps him stay grounded and intentional.
He believes curiosity is the single most important characteristic for success, whether defined as professional achievement or personal happiness. Curious individuals, he explained, tend to be more active, engaged, and fulfilled.
In the final three questions, Danny completed the sentences as follows:
- The thing that most excites me about web3 is … “We get to try to reinvent our digital society on the internet. The internet is bigger than any one country, and reshaping it is an extraordinary opportunity.”
- If you’re on X, you should be following … “My co-founder, Joel Thorstensson.”
- I’m happiest when … “I’m in the sun with my wife and friends, and I’ve managed to give my brain a little bit of a break from its constant activity.”
