Building the World that You Want to Live in through Culture Change with Omar Brownson

In today’s episode, Massimo is joined by Entrepreneur and Co-host of the Gratitude Blooming Podcast, Omar. Omar is inspired by nature, gratitude, and web3. He co-founded the gratitude app gthx (as in “gee thanks”), facilitates Gratitude Circles for leaders across sectors, and recently launched Long Horizon to advise on and invest in web3 projects.

Previously, Omar was the founding executive director of RiverLA where he collaborated with architect Frank Gehry and local leaders to reimagine the 51-mile Los Angeles River. He has held leadership positions across the areas of finance, land use, and social impact. Wherever he is, Omar makes sure to take a beat to notice beauty and share his joy.

Highlights from today's podcast include:

• The power of using a beginner's mind to find innovation and solutions
• The turning point when he realized he needed to direct his focus away from changing the world and more to changing himself
• How to build trust in order to drive change 
• How to disrupt our default habits to create long-term change
