The GRTiQ 10: GJ Flannery (Ep.123)
This week’s GRTiQ podcast features an enlightening chat with guest GJ Flannery, culminating in the signature GRTiQ 10 series of questions intended to offer listeners insights that might inspire fresh learning, provoke new ideas, or motivate personal achievement.
First off, when asked about a book or article that had greatly impacted his life, GJ mentions “Essentialism.” Although the author’s name eludes him, the book’s fundamental message is clear in his mind: “Doing less, but better.”
GJ’s recommendation for a must-watch TV show is the political drama series, “The West Wing.” But he finds it challenging to pick just one music album for a lifetime’s listening, admitting that any answer would fall short of honesty.
The best advice GJ has ever received is refreshingly simple: “Breathe.” This suggestion is a constant reminder of the importance of staying calm, composed, and present in the moment.
Sharing a deeply personal experience, GJ describes losing his mother at the age of 16, which made him acutely aware of life’s brevity and the importance of treasuring it. This understanding of mortality and the distinction between real problems and mere inconveniences is something he believes not everyone has grasped.
GJ’s best-discovered life hack is identifying what brings him joy and working hard at it. He believes that if you are genuinely enjoying what you do, you will inevitably put in the effort, leading to success. Hence, the key is to either find what you enjoy and do more of it or recognize what part of your hard work makes you happy.
When discussing the habits or characteristics leading to success in life, GJ credits hard work, acknowledging that this might seem a privileged perspective. He notes that hard work coupled with a willingness to make even small adjustments can lead to continual improvement and ultimately success.
As the interview wraps up with ‘complete the sentence’ questions, GJ expresses that what excites him most about web3 is the potential for “Freedom.” For those on Twitter, he recommends following “MetricsDAO.” Lastly, when asked when he’s happiest, GJ reveals a unique passion: he’s happiest when he’s underwater.
Throughout the GRTiQ 10 segment, listeners get a profound sense of GJ’s life philosophy, shaped by personal experiences, and his recognition of the importance of essentialism, hard work, and finding joy in what you do.
