Summary

David Cain of Raptitude reminds us that we need more than effort. Episode 1866: Effort Alone Isn't Enough by David Cain of Raptitude on Identity Changes David Cain is a writer and entrepreneur living in Winnipeg, Canada. On a particular boring day at his office job in 2009, he started Raptitude. His interest has always been human society and the internal human experience, and Raptitude became his megaphone for his thoughts about those things. It found an audience rather quickly and it’s been central to his life ever since. In 2013, he left his day job to write full time.
