49 分钟I go on a weekly dinner date with my daughter.
She's eight.
I love it.
It's just short and sweet, but it's just our ritual every week.
And so a few months ago, we're sitting in a restaurant, we're having dinner, and I ask her, so, Ella, do you actually know what I do at work all day?
And she just very matter of fact, very quickly answered, yeah, mom, you sit at your computer and you laugh.
So there's this myth about being a grownup, especially being a parent, that it's a time where the play's gotta end and the serious work begins.
That laughter and surprise and curiosity and spontaneity.
Very often the things that got you where you are, well, that all needs to see to, you know, more responsible behavior.
But what if the exact opposite was true?
What if the real secret to a life well lived was to never let them go?
Better yet, to build your waking hours around them?
That's what we're talking about on today's episode.
I'm Jonathan Fields.
This is good life project.
My guest today is Tina Roth Eisenberg.
Over the last nine years, she's founded a design turned lifestyle blog, a breakfast conference for creative pros, now hosted in more than 100 countries around the world every month, an artist driven temporary tattoo company, a flourishing co working space in Brooklyn, all while raising a family.
And it all seems to come from a place of deep service and play and this insatiable desire to connect with people and to help them connect with each other.
The real connections that I've made in life, they were always because they came out of a face to face meeting, right.
I really, really believe in the more I'm online, in all the different manners of Twitter and all that which I love.
