But what happens with the doors we open to others? Do we still trust them? Are we holding them accountable for what is said and done here? 

In this episode, I unpack where our culture is failing in holding people accountable and some tips on closing (and re-opening) doors with love and respect.

My good friend Trevor and I unpack this concept, pulling from our own perspectives and stories in both relationships and in our entrepreneurial efforts.

Why do we put good into the world? Why do we restrict ourselves from generating bad?

Whether your answer hinges on a belief in karma or a religious attitude, the premise of both is selfish.

A different, truly-selfless model is what we must seek, and seek to emulate.
