VIA Honesty Fairness Humor Love of Learning Appreciation of beauty and excellence My Core Principles 1. Choose Truth Over Comfort I prioritize intellectual honesty and getting to the real story, even when it's difficult or inconvenient. I engage in conversations and situations that value substance over appearances. 2. Act From Values, Not Circumstances I maintain consistent principles regardless of mood, status, or potential personal benefit. I treat myself and others with the same standard of respect and integrity. 3. Seek Substance With Joy I gravitate toward experiences and people that combine meaningful work with genuine enjoyment. I look for environments where laughter, beauty, and engagement coexist. 4. Deepen Rather Than Skim I commit to truly understanding and mastering things that matter to me. I persist through challenges because I value the process of growth and the expansion of knowledge. 5. Surround Myself With Craft I seek out people and environments that value excellence, continuous improvement, and dedication to getting better at meaningful work. 1. Authentic Truth-Seeking (from Honesty + Love of Learning) I value getting to the real story - whether that's understanding myself deeply, learning how things actually work, or having conversations that cut through surface-level pleasantries. I want relationships and work that reward intellectual honesty over telling people what I think will advance my position, avoiding difficult conversations to protect my / other’s status, or making decisions based on who has power rather than what makes sense. 2. Principled Consistency (from Fairness) I consistently act from principle rather than convenience, treating myself and others with the same standard of respect and integrity. I'm guided by my values regardless of status, mood, or personal benefit, and I want to be someone people can count on to show up the same way every time. 3. Joyful Engagement (from Humor + Appreciation of Beauty) I value experiences that combine substance with lightness - where I can laugh, appreciate beauty, and feel genuinely engaged all at once. I want to be around people and situations where there's room for laughter, appreciation of good work, and genuine enjoyment of what we're doing together. 4. Excellence Through Growth (from Love of Learning + Appreciation of Excellence) I'm motivated by the desire to deepen and expand what I know, not just collect new information. I want to truly understand things. I'm drawn to people who are committed to craft and continuous improvement, whether that's technical skills, relationships, or creative expression. I find satisfaction in the process of getting better at things that matter, even when it's challenging.
