Episode notes

It's always been assumed that capitalism creates trauma and that money is the root of all evil but what if we view it like technology? It's not good or bad objectively; it's just a tool. So, then the only root question is, 'What is your energy, what's your intention with which you use these tools?' That's the inner work of looking at yourself and your relationship with money." - Tim Chang

Can business be a force of change for good?
