From Monica : Good morning all! This was a great conversation from a man who lives by his values as a reminder to living consciously... always a good reminder when you feel like your life is steering off course!
This felt like such a refreshing example of a different kind of capitalism. I really admire what he’s built, and I love his ethos around simplicity and doing less with more. It’s so easy to lose sight of that these days.
I did, however, pick up on a strong thread of self-reliance and individual accountability (which I appreciate) but it also came across with a slight “non-team player” vibe. Not sure if that was just my mood when I was listening, but I’ve always believed in the collective more than the individual. We can hold ourselves accountable and still work together. It felt unusual to hear someone who has dedicated his life to a cause speak with so little reference…
