Work Smarter by Leaning into Your Human Design Type
Do you want to learn how to optimize yourself to create your dream job? First, you’ll have to understand your Human Design. Today we bring in expert Erin Claire Jones to unpack Human Design - a system that gives people an energetic blueprint to how they're uniquely designed to thrive based on their exact time, date and place of birth. Specifically, it looks at how people are designed to cultivate relationships, parent, make decisions, build businesses, market, communicate, work within teams and so much more. But more than anything, it gives people permission and tools to be themselves as individuals, in family, in business and in relationships. In this episode, Erin shows us how to read our Human Design chart and understand the tenants that make us uniquely us. We also go through each type, how we show up in professional settings, and how to better serve yourself in the workplace to create your dream job.

How @WatchingNewYork Went From Passion Project To Today’s Best Street Style Account
They say that people watching is the best in New York City, and Johnny Cirillo is living proof of it. As the photographer behind Instagram’s beloved @WatchingNewYork account, Johnny heads out every day onto the streets of New York to shoot the most interesting and stylish personalities he can find. He stealthily documents their outfits, strikes up a conversation, and shares the stories of every day people to his 1 million followers on Instagram and TikTok. But when Johnny took his first photo for the account in 2016, he had no idea that six years later he’d run one of the most popular street style accounts and shoot for brands like Tory Burch and Balenciaga. Johnny and I talk about his introduction into photography, the most interesting people he’s ever met, and his best advice on turning your art into a thriving community.
