The GRTiQ 10: Marc-Andre Dumas (Ep. 98)
In a captivating edition of the GRTiQ Podcast, Marc-Andre Dumas revealed some fascinating facets of 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.
Surprisingly, the “Beginner’s Computer Handbook” from 1983, designed for children, has had a profound impact on Marc-Andre. This highlights the profound influence that early exposures can have on one’s life. His taste in television resonates with deeper human emotions, evident when he advocated for the TV series “Six Feet Under“. The show, according to him, brilliantly delves into the complexity of human nature, emotions, grief, and adds a tinge of dark humor.
Musically, he steers away from the mainstream, pointing listeners toward Quebec’s Jean Leloup. A testament to the diversity of world music and the beauty that lies in exploring the unfamiliar. When it comes to navigating life’s challenges, Marc-Andre’s advice is succinct yet profound: “Don’t try to please everyone.” This is further complemented by his revelation that “Nobody knows what they’re talking about,” shedding light on the pervasive imposter syndrome and the need for continuous learning.
His life hack is practical and environmentally conscious. Living in a walkable neighborhood not only boosts one’s health and social life but also has financial benefits, he suggests. Curiosity, for Dumas, is the cornerstone of success, something innate in everyone yet actively pursued by few.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, Dumas sees web3.0 as the realization of the “original vision of the internet.” For those intrigued by the crypto domain, he points towards Chris Burniske on Twitter, a balanced voice in the crypto community.
In a heartening conclusion, the essence of happiness for Marc-Andre is the presence and company of friends and family. This segment painted Marc-Andre Dumas as an individual with a blend of tech-savviness, authenticity, and profound human connection.
