HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS EPISODE
- Social Impact - where should people act? How do we make a difference when there’s so many things going on in the world, and use our heart to lead us there
- The illusion that business is all to do with the head - but there is a lot more permission around love & connection than we allow ourselves to think
- How to back up, shift to a more human perspective, and see things differently - gaining perspective & joy from those on the front line

QUOTES & SNIPPETS
“Where to act is where your heart breaks”
"To be human is a heartbreaking, excruciating experience, and it is an uplifting liberating experience. But holding both of these as true, is key to our liberation and destiny"
“Play, practice, push the edges of your imagined cells, and the worst that can happen is that you have to apologise”
“Every time a subject is freaking you out, instead of moving away, get closer to it and see what joy you find… There are always people on the front line doing remarkable things”
“In our quiet moments, something powerful is guiding us that isn't our logic”
