On Wednesday, I published Insights Into Life, 1 – 5. Below are Insights, 6 – 10.

I gave the list to a few friends to read through, to get their reactions and to see which ones resonated more than others. The questions they asked me, and the ones they wanted to know more about, helped me get the subsequent list down to 10.

We also made videos for them and are calling our creative concept, typewriter asmr. We started posting them on Instagram reels and tiktok a few weeks ago. You can watch them on the typewriter asmr page of my website or find them on YouTube. We would love to get your feedback or reaction to them.

The first five are below.

Then my friend Jenna suggested we go a step further and make videos with them. The result of those discussions turned into our typewriter asmr creative concept that we started posting on Instagram and tiktok a few weeks ago. You can watch them on the typewriter asmr page of my website or find them on YouTube. We would love to get your feedback or reaction to them.
