What if courage isn't about fearless leaps, but about consistently doing what brings you joy? In this conversation with UJ Ramdas—the co-creator of the Five Minute Journal, which sold over a million copies before selling his share of the company—we explore why real courage is a muscle you build through small, daily acts of aliveness.
UJ shares his remarkable journey from leaving India alone at 17 to building a multimillion-dollar business, then choosing freedom over the "success" everyone else saw. But this isn't just another entrepreneur story. This is about redefining purpose as aliveness, learning to examine fear versus intuition, and understanding why doing what you love is actually a radical act of courage.
If you've ever felt trapped in your own success, wondered how to know when you're in a "comfort loop," or questioned what it really means to live with purpose, UJ's insights on seeking the source of being while navigating the practical world offer a refreshing perspective on what it means to stay awake to your own life.
Essential listening for anyone ready to trade comfort for aliveness.
