What if the chaos we're living through isn't just a crisis, but an invitation?
In this opening episode, we ask a question most leadership conversations skip: what's happening inside us, and how is that shaping the world around us?
We explore how an imbalanced relationship to the material world erodes our collective wellbeing, what trauma has to do with our global crises, how these crises can awaken our wiser leadership, and how an unlikely coffee conversation sparked this entire six-part series.
This is Episode 1 of 6 of a special series co-hosted with Vadivu Govind of Inner Wealth.
Real leadership starts from within. This is where we begin.
