In our inaugural episode, 
we host Priya Amin, 
former Founder and CEO 
of Flexable.

During COVID, 
Priya had to close Flexable down 
both because of financial strain 
and her own personal burnout.

In this episode, 
we explore her inquiry 
into being more compassionate with herself 
as she moves through the next phase 
of her entrepreneurial
journey.

Let the conversation
begin.

Broken, I am.

Posted on by Seung Chan Lim 1

Jim Carey once said,
he acts,
because he’s broken.

For those who judge
“brokenness”
as “bad”
may feel triggered
by that comment.

But what I learned from art,
is that if “broken” implies
1) separated in parts
or 2) producing results
that defy our expectations,
then both
are requirements
for innovation.

Because parts
must be separated
before they can be
recomposed
into a new whole.

And the kind of whole
we seek in innovation
is the kind
that defies our expectations
enough to move us
in often surprising ways.

If being broken
means that I can not only
understand and appreciate,
but also artfully express
the depth and nuance
of the human experience
in ways I could not
otherwise have,
such that I impact the world
in positive ways,
as has Jim Carey,
then broken,
I am.
