When Passion Crosses the Line: Why Chasing What You Love Still Matters

In a world moving faster than ever—with generative AI, automation, and endless efficiency—we’re encouraged to choose what’s practical and profitable. But what happens to the things we truly love?In this episode, I reflect on the idea that real creativity begins when we cross the line between what makes sense and what moves us. Inspired by a quote from author Hiromi Aramata, I explore the tension between utility and wonder, and the courage it takes to pursue something simply because it speaks to you—even if it doesn’t immediately “sell.”From designing glasses that capture the beauty of minerals to the power of following personal curiosity in an age of copy-and-paste culture, this is an invitation to celebrate what only you can do—because love is a force that breaks boundaries.
