I want to find the joy in what I'm doing because that for me is an indication that I'm on the right path.

Essentialists, aspiring essentialists, and struggling essentialists, aspiring essentialists, and struggling essentialists out there who are trying,

sometimes just barely getting through designing a life that really matters.

With all that noise, with all those obstacles, the

tempting non-essentials, all the heightened emotions that we see within the

country and around the world, this conversation with Ariana Huffington could not be more red-hot relevant.

Conversation around how can we thrive in this challenging uncertain environment?

Ariana and I have been friends for a long time now.

I first knew her when she was building Huffpost into this global phenomenon.

But it's been the work post that

that has been particularly impressive for me.

Just think of the Thrive Global platform, 40,000 people who are choosing to write, to contribute around the conversation of redefining success.

Success isn't just doing the stuff out there it's getting the order of

prioritization right it's protecting the asset first it's building relationships

with the people that matter most next,

and then also being selective about the priority projects

that you put your energy on.

Or at least that's how I see the Thrive Global Movement as an essentialist. What's particularly inspiring to me is how

well Ariana has developed and continues to grow a community, turning an idea into a place where people can grow and

develop that conversation, that's exactly what this podcast is about. Now let's

get to this show. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.

Okay, we've made it work.
