Max Dhindsa

I was born in Toronto, Canada and have lived in over 10 countries.

Living in different places shaped how I think: stay curious, question defaults, and learn by doing.

I started creating on YouTube in 2008, then built across e-commerce, influencer marketing, Web3, AI, and consumer technology.

I am fascinated by when new ideas are formed, bringing them to fruition, how they spread, and how emerging tech can help us live better.

Now I am focused on 6/8 Labs (sixeightlabs.com), building and growing projects across AI, Blockchain, Biotech, Fintech, B2C, B2B and Human Potential.

6/8 helps you align the two.

Daily wisdom, reflection, journaling, personalized guidance, and practical tools help people find clarity and act with intention.

It is a counter-algorithm for alignment: technology designed to return people to their lives, not consume more of them.

I build products, raise capital, create content, and help ambitious projects with brand, positioning, storytelling, GTM, and growth.

• 01Live through alignment of 6 & 8Ambition needs inner alignment. Insight needs action.
• 02Take the red pillFind what is true and say it clearly.
• 03Value ExchangeGive more value than you get.
• 04There is no boxTreat constraints as design problems. There is usually another route.
• 05Relentless curiosityFollow curiosity — what you seek is seeking you.
• 06Your environment matters more than you thinkLearn by entering new places, industries, and cultures. If you’re not inspired by who you’re around or what you’re around — leave.
• 07Meaning & FreedomFreedom of time, attention, movement, and thought is the goal.
• 08Live for soul’s expressionMake what is inside you visible.
• 09Stay Hungry, Stay FoolishStay Hungry: Never become satisfied with what you have achieved. Keep a constant desire to learn, grow, and seek new ambitions. Stay Foolish: Do not fear failure or looking inexperienced. Maintain the courage to take bold risks, challenge norms, and pursue unconventional ideas.
• 10Don’t let your body goKeep fit, stay active, and train your resting heart rate and nervous system.
• 11There’s more than meets the eyeDon’t judge a book by its cover. Most of what looks like reality is a shadow on the cave wall — look behind the curtain and go outside to see the sun, that is where the truth is.
• 12Be a polymathDa Vinci painted, engineered, and studied anatomy in the same breath — specialization is a cage, not a virtue.
• 13The future already exists in the mind of the curiousVision comes before proof — see what doesn’t exist yet, then build toward it.
• 14Art is subjective, numbers are notFollow the facts — if the #’s are adding up as they should, you will have your answer.
• 15You are a lion, not a sheepDon’t perform a strength you don’t have — be actually strong, from the inside. The world has opinions; only God’s matters.
• 16Don’t live someone else’s lifeYour time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
• 17Universal languageThe universe is always listening and sending you messages — you just have to be aware enough to look, and see, hear, or feel it.
• 18Life works in seasonsEvents, people, opportunities, lessons, wins, and losses all move in seasons — don’t fight the tide, ride it and take it for what it is. Some seasons are golden, some are hard to look back on — neither is the whole story.

• How humans and AI can work together, and what intelligence becomes next.
• How people find purpose when AI changes the meaning of work.
• Consciousness, longevity, and whether the mind can move beyond biology.
• New cities, digital nations, and decentralized systems for money, science, and infrastructure.
• Virtual worlds and who owns our identity, data, and reputation.
• How emerging tech can expand spirituality and help build better products for humans.
• The future of creativity and creative expression.
• Getting a cat.

I love to travel and spend real time inside new cultures and places rather than passing through them. Much of how I think about people, design, and ambition was formed on the road.

• I have called Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Guatemala, Bali, Vietnam, and Thailand home.
• I have stood before four wonders of the world: Chichén Itzá, the Colosseum, Machu Picchu, and Christ the Redeemer.
• I lived on a beach in Santa Marta, Colombia, then hiked four days to the Lost City with no preparation.
• I crossed the Mexico–Guatemala border by canoe, James Bond style.
• In Guatemala, I climbed a volcano, lived beside Lake Atitlán, and went deeper into yoga and meditation.
• I crossed the dunes of Peru's Huacachina Oasis on a sandboard.
• At nineteen, I competed in NASA's Space Apps Challenge on the main stage in Silicon Valley.
• I walked into Paris Fashion Week as a journalist. I was not a journalist.
• I celebrated New Year's Eve in a new country five years in a row.
• I watched Argentina win the 2022 World Cup from Buenos Aires, surrounded by the home crowd.

Books, films, and games are where I find much of my wisdom and inspiration for life, art, and creativity. Tap any spine to pull it off the shelf.

I also read widely about ancient history, symbolism, and wisdom traditions, evolutionary psychology, and biohacking and human performance.

Mostly science fiction, psychological thrillers, and action in Hollywood, with a touch of Bollywood cinema alongside them.

Worlds I grew up inside.

I also work as an actor and storyteller. I have appeared in Suits and La Reina del Sur, and in commercials for Walmart and GE HealthCare.

I work best with ambitious founders and teams building where technology, culture, media, and human development meet.

I take on a small number of advisory relationships, brand engagements, speaking opportunities, and creative collaborations.
