The Comma Project

I'm Devin, and this is The Comma Project. In a world of run-on sentences, Comma is a pause. A conversation catalyzing transformation. Modern philosophy, in practice. A space to share ideas, insights, and inspiration. If you’re a seeker, a leader, an artist, an entrepreneur, a builder, a creator - someone in pursuit of more aliveness and a life of significance - then I think you're going to like it here. I invite you to join me, in my project. The Comma Project. Where you and I are in the process - of seeking, and becoming - together.

    #5 | 📕 'The Dream of Solomeo' by Brunello Cucinelli: beauty, dignity, and humanistic capitalism

    After months of searching, I finally found 'The Dream of Solomeo' by Brunello Cucinelli...for $500. But I simply had to read it.

Here, I share what I loved, what I learned, and what stood out most. Welcome back to the second edition of the Comma Book Club. Come explore what it means to live a life of beauty, dignity, and humanistic capitalism in action. Brunello's life is an incredible story of a philosopher-entrepreneur, and of bridging lofty ideals into a practical world.

    ESSAY | Are you willing to pay the price of extraordinary?

    An extraordinary life requires a non-ordinary path. "At your birth a seed is planted. That seed is your uniqueness. It wants to grow, transform itself, and flower to its full potential. It has a natural, assertive energy to it. Your Life’s Task is to bring that seed to flower, to express your uniqueness through your work." -- Robert Greene in 'Mastery' Leading with our uniqueness - not our talent, passion, nor what our culture celebrates - is what gets us to extraordinary. It has a price. Are you willing to pay it? ----------- Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.comma.org/⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@thecommaproject/⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/devbakes/⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/devbakes/⁠⁠⁠ ----------- Chapters: (00:00) Are you willing to pay the price of extraordinary?

    #3 | Unleashing creativity and culture with web3: it's about more than just buying a farm

    Earlier this week, I wrote about buying a farm ⬇️ https://www.comma.org/p/maybe-ill-buy-a-farm In this episode, I explore more about how this fits into my vision for Comma, and how it's about more than just buying a farm. It's about inspiration and integration, not imposition. Specifically, I talk about how a Comma fellowship may just be the heart of the vision. I envision a place inviting builders, artists, creators, and seekers of all types to come, connect, and create. A place to spark those leaders to create their life and Life's Work. I also explore how web3 could enable a partnership that unleashes creativity and culture in a more relational, less transactional way - the Comma way. ----------- Newsletter: ⁠⁠https://www.comma.org/⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@thecommaproject/⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/devbakes/⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/devbakes/⁠⁠ ----------- Chapters: [00:00] A farm is more than a farm [01:04] Why I got interested in buying a farm [02:05] It's about more than a farm [04:35] It won't be Disney World [06:22] Comma is agnostic - about humanity, not a doctrine [07:28] Inspiration and integration, not imposition [08:32] The fellowship is the heart of Comma [11:22] Comma's "why" [11:55] Unlocking creativity and culture with Web3 [15:36] Come, connect, create - relationally, not transactionally [18:11] The process of putting the puzzle pieces together
