Summary

In today’s episode, I share how my meetups turned into an unexpected global research project on human connection, energy, and intention. I talk about the difference between motivation and inspiration, the real value of rejection, and why the people who love us most often hold us back without meaning to. I explain how I prioritize decisions using relativity, association, and what feeds me, even when it drains me. From funding pitches to spiritual alignment, I walk through how to build something meaningful in both the practical and infinite sense, and why asking “for the sake of what?” can reframe your purpose, guide your energy, and keep you grounded.

You talk a lot about protecting their energy over the time.

0:03.0

And so right now I'm a greater.

0:04.5

I get a lot of requests and opportunities and I have a more time to know.

0:08.0

So how do you personally decide what to take on or what to make go up, especially if something leads to make something to me?

0:15.0

Yeah, so there's a lot there because unlike before, there's too much opportunity. If you have an abundant

0:22.3

philosophy, there's too much opportunity options and touches a favor. So prioritization becomes key.

0:29.2

My philosophy is that you're made by what you say no to, but you should have alternative

0:35.6

buckets in order to facilitate helping people when

0:38.7

you can't do it. So first of all, how do we prioritize where and who to spend our time with?

0:43.9

There's three things that I utilize. One, relativity. So I prioritize relativity. Relativity is actually

0:51.8

something that Einstein will talk about in the context of space and time,

0:56.7

but what relativity really is is meaning. Meaning is in your control. So when I talk about

1:03.8

what is the relativity of this opportunity option or touch a favor, what's the relativity of the

1:08.8

ask, what's the relativity of the person that I'm

1:11.6

working with or family member, et cetera? That's the first criteria to me because it's personalized

1:17.5

and also in my control to give meaning to this opportunity. So I'm already doing a quantitative

1:24.3

analysis saying, okay, what's the relativity of this opportunity?

1:35.3

Two, I then use association. So association could be the organization. It could be a family association. It could be friend. It could be employee. It could be investor. So you're starting to see

1:42.3

how association can be used as a criteria to prioritize

1:46.6

and also change the meaning or the relativity of the opportunity. It could either make it go up or

1:53.3

make it go down. And then the last one becomes really interesting because you really have to know

1:58.8

what's important to you, which is how much
