"A Genius is He Who is Most Himself"

May 6, 2025 · 15:15

My friend Jeremy Enns and I recently had this conversation about a quote by Thelonious Monk:

"A genius is the one most like himself."

We explored this idea about what it means to find your zone of genius and why being authentically yourself might be the key to your greatest work.

I ended up writing a blog post about this too: Finding your zone of genius

This conversation was a part of a longer episode we did for PMT Explained.
