Full episode available to stream now! The real masterpiece wasn’t the Mona Lisa.

It was the way da Vinci listened to his own mind.

🧠 7,000+ pages of self-talk, questions, to-do lists, and “remember to buy soap” energy.
In a world obsessed with broadcasting, he was busy observing.
Thinking. Sketching. Asking why the sky is blue.

Write it down. Talk to yourself. That’s where art is born
