Topaz Adizes: 我认为人性存在于人与人之间的空间,而非个体内部。关系不是你或我,而是你和我之间的连接。这种连接才是人性的体现。我希望通过“The And”项目创造人与人之间的空间,促进人性的展现。这个项目强调倾听和连接,而不仅仅是说话。我们应该把重点放在问题上,因为问题决定了答案。好的问题应该避免二元选择,并且问题的形式会影响答案。我们提出的问题应该能带来有力量的答案,让我们更有自主性。好的问题应该具有连接性,能够考虑到对话者的独特性。我希望通过精心设计的问题,邀请人们进行他们原本不会进行的对话。重要的是坐在问题的痛苦中,而不是答案本身。丰富性存在于暂停和不适之中。爱和连接是关于看到和被看到。我们是关系动物,所以要谈论关系。

Shownotes Transcript

This week, Meghan is joined by filmmaker, YouTuber, and “experience design architect” Topaz Adizes. He is the founder of The Skin Deep, an experience design created to foster connection in human relationships, often through innovative products and curated live events. In this conversation, Topaz discusses the evolution of relationships in the digital age, the importance of asking the right questions, and how he built a sustainable business model around his project, The And, a video series in which two people sit face to face and engage with a series of simple yet surprising questions. He also explains the concept of experience design and how it shapes human interactions in a technology-driven world. Finally, he and Meghan talk about building a business, the meaning of “intimacy,” the changing rules of the dating market, and why he’s (theoretically) willing to accept that his grandchildren might never meet their spouses in real life.     GUEST BIO   Topaz Adizes) is an Emmy Award-winning writer, director, and the founder and executive director of the experience design studio The Skin Deep), which has a popular YouTube channel.
