Episode Synopsis

Our lives are adversely impacted when our interactions are purely transactional. We see this play out in devastating fashion in industry, where certain businesses can cause great harm to society due to their insulation and disconnection from the lives they sell to. But this isn't just for businesses. Our personal and professional lives depend critically on organic, face-to-face interactions with real people. In this episode I argue that a successful life needs to be in direct contact with the effects of what we say and do, and that this is only possible by being in real groups with real people.Suggested Reading Related to Intro ExampleAmerican Cartel: Inside the Battle to Bring Down the Opioid Industry by Scott Higham and Sari HorwitzEpisode Music for Intro ExampleConiferous forest by orangerySupport the showBecome a premium member to gain access to premium content, including the Techniques and Mindsets Videos, visual concept summaries of each episode, community forum, episode summary notes, episode transcripts, q&a/ama sessions, episode search, watch history, watch progress and support.Join Now at nontrivialpodcast.com or patreon.com/8431143/join
