Episode notes
Community Building in a Divided World
- Modern society often pushes people apart, creating a need for intentional community building.
- This isolation is exemplified by "raccoons" (grifters) who thrive within systems and "coyotes" (ambitious individuals) who often get caught up in the system's games.
Raccoons and Coyotes
- Ben Hunt explains the concept of raccoons and coyotes using anecdotes from his farm life.
- Coyotes are clever but lack awareness, while raccoons are destructive and opportunistic.
Write Your Own Story
- Be brave and write your own story, becoming the protagonist instead of an NPC.
- Find courage to defy societal expectations and define your own path, like Paul Millerd.
