In a world addicted to validation, performance, and praise—this scroll is your wake-up call.
Cary Hokama, host of The Story Samurai, dives deep into the soul-tugging tension between being liked and being aligned. From Jim Carrey’s quiet awakening to the wisdom of the Stoics and the lessons found in a chance encounter with actress Kelly Hu, this scroll reminds us that meaning > applause—and that sovereignty is the only path worth walking.
Expect stories. Insight. And that gut-punch of truth you didn’t know you needed.
“The world doesn’t care as much as you think it does. And that… is freedom.”
