Together, we'll explore the ancient and emerging wisdom of alchemizing pleasure into profit, creating businesses that flourish financially while remaining deeply rooted in purpose. Through intimate solo episodes, transformative interviews, and paradigm-shifting conversations, we'll dismantle outdated business models and cultivate strategies that prioritize collective well-being.
