Summary

Today’s episode is from a recent guest speech at Columbia University. I highlight the five transformative practices of strategic thinking in compassionate capitalism that I've personally adopted and embraced. I share how I identify my personal and professional desires, the importance I place on building a like-minded community, and my approach to mastering time management. I also illustrate how I remain anchored in the “now,” as well as the methods I use to confront and overcome my fears. In this candid discussion, I provide insights on achieving financial success, nurturing a thriving community, and my personal journey to true happiness.
