Our discussion this week stems from a recent (very long) podcast where Jordan Peterson and Lex Fridman talk about everything from life, death, and power to fame. They each come with very different opinions and beliefs, and this sparks Hallie and me to discuss that the more you know yourself, the deeper you can go in both your own beliefs and knowing what is coming from the truth inside you vs. from your mind. We share a framework that can help you start to uncover your purpose and gain clarity. Hallie and I also talk about how to notice the little “aha” moments that pop up in life to show you where you can make big shifts that have a profound impact on your life, both in business and spirituality.

[24:11] The clearer you are about knowing who you are, the more it becomes clear what needs to happen. It comes from a place of knowing, rather than over-thinking.
[39:39] What does it mean to truly know thyself?
[40:00] You can use the framework of seeing what bothers you as a powerful self-inquiry tool.
