The Lesson: There are many kinds of capital and currencies, but there is only one we all share. Anthony Samadani pointed out, as the Austrian-school economists do, that time is paid in addition to the cost of all things, but unlike stocks, commodities, or other currencies, it never appreciates, only depreciates. Looking at the cost in time before other currencies teaches people how to “appreciate” their time by aligning their passions (personal, professional, and spiritual) with their purpose.
Notable Excerpt: “Our actions should begin with a thoughtful intention. If you make the right intention and follow through with the proper actions, which is what people call “showing up,” you never have to worry about the result. That’s the freedom of it all, because we’re not in charge of our results. Listening or reading good news at least 3-4 minutes a day can help reduce stress! So many amazing studies have been done, including ones at Harvard.”
The Podcast: Building While Flying is a new podcast produced by Sasha Group, a new agency founded by author-entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk “dedicated to helping businesses grow faster.”
