Sean Mort "Why Buying Stuff Won't Fix Your Life"

1938
Adventures In Design

Sean finally introduces Henry to Star Wars: A New Hope, which sparks a bigger conversation about attention spans, modern childhood, and whether classic stories still connect with a new generation.

From there, we dive into the strange future of Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin, why familiarity matters more than ever in theme parks, and what happens when an attraction outlives its intellectual property.

The conversation then shifts to a frustrating trip to Best Buy, replacing a professional camera, and a realization that many creative people eventually face: buying new gear doesn't create purpose. Whether it's cameras, technology, fitness, social media, or career ambitions, it's easy to convince yourself that the next purchase will finally unlock the life you want.

Instead, real progress comes from systems, consistency, and finding the work that gives your life direction.
