Summary

In this episode (the second of a two-part series), I explore the shadow side of goodness in our society, highlighting how well-intentioned actions can sometimes lead to harm. I examine how ideologies, often cloaked in moralistic beliefs, can stifle open dialogue and contribute to cancel culture and disconnection in our relationships. Through my personal journey in the political landscape, I talk about the importance of seeking truth and engaging with diverse perspectives. This episode serves as a call to recognize the mechanisms influencing our beliefs and offers an invitation to pursue deeper, more compassionate connections in both personal and collective interactions.

0:00.0	Look at our society today. I would argue that the shadow side of goodness has never been so amplified in my lifetime. I'm 45,
0:07.2	but I'm guessing that if you look back at times like World War II and you look back at human atrocities, the greatest atrocities were done
0:15.1	under the guise the intention of goodness.
0:20.1	But first, these messages.
0:22.4	For the last couple of years, my soul has been calling me towards creating an analog retreat

0:54.0	And this is why abundance and relationship to money is so connected to self-worth and security,
0:59.6	right?
1:00.6	Both romantic relationships and relationships to money are both connected to safety and
1:05.4	that's why the triggers that come up with one come up with both.
1:08.8	This is why I wanted to one bring entrepreneurs and people who want to create businesses back into nature,
1:15.2	back into connection with themselves, back into connection with the thing that truly fuels your
1:19.1	business, which is you. What really sells the things you do is that it is based on what you love doing.
1:25.0	It's based on why you started.
1:27.0	But we forget why we started when we get stuck in all the half-dos and the shoulds.
