Alrighty folks, welcome back to Season 3, Episode 12 on Transacting Value Podcast!
Sharon Schneider is an author, speaker, consultant, and entrepreneur who helps wealthy individuals and corporations align their decisions with their values. 

The idea of shared prosperity drives all of Sharon’s decisions. The typical MO of Americans is to extract for themselves today with the intention of giving back in the future. Sharon challenges us to live our values now by being mindful of our everyday choices.  Ask, “Is this who I want to be and how I want to show up in the world?” 

  • If you’re miserable, change something. Be brave.
  • Resist the lure of convenience. 
  • There is a hierarchy of values, and if convenience is at the top, it’s going to trump all other values.
  • If you feel guilty, it’s because you’re not living your values.
  • Feeling good is underrated. There are few things better than the feeling of doing good. 


Quotes from today’s episode:

“That’s been my journey, trying to get closer to that alignment between my life and the person I aspire to be.”
“I’m just trying to be a good human being, and that means taking into account other people’s lives and feelings.”
“If you’re just floating along on mainstream American culture, you’re doing all kinds of things that are extractive and exploitive and unkind to various groups.”
“As long as we put convenience at the top of our decision-making hierarchy, we’re going to keep violating our other principles.”
“Guilt is a sign that you’re not acting in alignment with your own values.”
