// PERSONAL NOTE FROM JONNY I've been writing an essay for the last few months titled "How to Unclench" that I'm in the final phase of editing which I hope to be publishing tomorrow, so stay tuned. // ACCESS PROTOCOLS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS Staying Human in the Age of AI: Nervous System Regulation for a New EraI really enjoyed hosting the workshop yesterday, and getting the opportunity to nerd out on two of my favorite topics: nervous system regulation and using AI intentionally. I posted an article on X saying how working with codex (AI) has changed my life as a solopreneur, and I believe it can also be wielded as a force for deepening human craft rather than hollowing it out. But that said, there are many pitfalls and risks: from AI brainfry and atrophy of human skills, to sub-clinical attachment disorders and loss of agency. So this workshop was my attempt at charting a path which acknowledges the risks whilst also embracing the empowering potential that using AI can bring.
// SECURE YOUR SPOT Early Bird Discount Ends TonightEarly bird doors for Nervous System Mastery are still open...until tonight. I believe that a regulated nervous system will become a vortex of safety & connection for others who might be less grounded or experiencing intensity. I also feel that learning to regulate your own nervous system in a community of people doing the same has ripple effects that go father than we might imagine. If you would like to end the year feeling more grounded and more connected to the humans around you, I would highly recommend considering joining this upcoming cohort (and you'll save $250 off enrollment until midnight tonight with code EARLYBIRD) // RUN THIS EXPERIMENT // ET CETERA Brain: Your brain uses nearly as much energy at rest as it does during focused work. Neuroscientists are exploring where that energy goes, and why thinking can still leave us feeling depleted. Read. Travel: Nomads.com was a resource in my vagabonding days. They just announced they're switching their membership model to just $1. Join. Read: I enjoyed being interviewed by the team at Creative Boom for a piece on the limits of mindfulness and the impact of welcoming emotions. Read. // DIVE DEEPER |

Hello there, Just a brief note from me today as my wife and I are heading out on a hike through the redwoods to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary. Wishing you a wonderful week. Jonny p.s. I challenged the latest Claude model to turn my unclenching essay into a music video, and the results were quite impressive... // GENIUS LIFE INTERVIEW In Conversation with Max Lugavere I had the pleasure of sitting down in Max's home in LA and recording a heartfelt conversation exploring grief, boundary...
// UPDATE FROM SANTA CRUZ Well, that was an exciting week... The How to Unclench essay received over a million views on twitter/X, I find it somewhat re-assuring that people still have the attention span to read a 30 minute essay. Or as my friend Rob Hardy likes to say: "The people they yearn for depth." I'm heading off-grid for a few days to recharge in nature, see you on the other side. Stay Curious Out There, Jonny p.s. enrollment doors for Nervous System Mastery close this Friday, so if...
Roughly a year ago I shared this post on X about unclenching that went viral and was seen by 1.8 million people. So it seemed like there was something here that was resonating. The more that I dug into the concept of 'unclenching' the more that it seemed to unify many disparate threads: from regulation tools, to deep meditation techniques and also seemed less abstract than talking about 'nervous system work'. So after many months of wrestling with the writing process, and receiving generous...
