What happens when you stop chasing time, energy, and wealth—and start harmonizing them instead?
In this episode, Deborah, Vassili, and Karim reflect on the origin of the podcast’s name and how the concepts of time, fuel, and money have evolved from personal goals into deeper reflections on meaning, intention, and service.
💡 Inspired by ancient Greek philosophy and modern life choices, the hosts explore:
- The difference between kairos (the opportune moment) and chronos (linear time)
- The ego trap of chasing “returns” in career, finance, or energy
- What it means to work with society rather than for the self
- How happiness and impact transcend the constructs we’re taught to chase
From government service to startup pivots, from chasing prestige to finding peace—this episode reveals how real power comes not from accumulation, but from alignment.
🎧 Tune in to hear how a newly minted U.S. citizen, a public servant, and a Soviet-born entrepreneur redefine success in a world of metrics and milestones.
