“To be successful in business you have to have values, you have to stand by those values, and you can't compromise those values. But you also have to have the tools to do that. Whether it's meditation or other forms of self-exploration, you have to have a way to shed the stress and to really dive into what's important.” – Bill Ford

In this episode, Jack and Bill mindfully navigate:

  • How we can make business and work a force for good
  • The stakes and rewards of servant leadership
  • Capitalism, Right Livelihood, and the Next Generation
  • Navigating tough decisions and bringing out the best in others
  • Compassionate leadership in a cold economy
  • Living with empathy and from our highest intention


Transform your life through Jack's Kornfield's most powerful stories in this brand new 10-hour journey! Live session begin this October!

"What's the point of your life if there isn't some well-being woven into it? It's not meant to be a grim duty. Some people take meditation as a grim duty. That doesn't make it happy, and it doesn't actually serve you in some deep way." – Jack Kornfield

This conversation was originally recorded for the Inner-MBA program presented by Sounds True.
