Mission Driven You

My guest today is Carrie Schmidt. Carrie is the author of Behind the Screen, a powerful book that lays out a 7-step system of transformation. In today’s interview, we talk about the unconscious habits that negatively impact our lives. We get into how we recognize if we are stuck in the matrix of our programming. And we touch on how trauma can shape us in positive ways.

My guest today is Nick Barrett. Nick is the founder of CordBrick and a brilliant young entrepreneur. Today’s podcast talks about the process of building a company and the hard work of raising venture capital. We also delve into Nick’s recovery journey and how that keeps him grounded in the stress of running a startup.

Today we're going to be talking about a topic that is near and dear to my heart, a concept that I call emotional capitalism. I'm going to share some of my personal stories. We're going to talk about why we need new metaphors for personal growth and why the air mask analogy we often hear in the self-help world is an inadequate way to think about how we live. We'll talk about the importance of interdependence, and I'll share some examples of how I try to live interdependently in the world.
