That's a wrap on today's conversation with Ollie Raisin and Boris McGuire.

And what stayed me the most from this episode is this truth.

Becoming doesn't require more information.

It requires a different environment.

When we change that context, we change what becomes possible.

Here are a few reflections worth carrying forward.

First, leadership isn't a position.

It's a responsibility to the collective.

Second, speed is not the same thing as progress.

And wisdom doesn't always come from the newest framework.

Sometimes it comes from the oldest ones.

The Samboro elders don't rush decisions.

They don't lead alone and they don't separate success from service.

That's a powerful mirror for the world we're living in right now.

If today's episode expanded your thinking, please share it with someone who leads or wants to lead differently.

And thank you for helping this season of becoming reach more people than ever before.

And next week, we continue this journey with a conversation I'm especially excited about.

I'm replaying a live conversation that I did with Joshua Green, the Harvard moral philosopher, and Rick Hansen, my friend, psychologist, and senior fellow at the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley for a powerful dialogue on expanding the circle of moral concern.

In the conversation, we explore why humans divide into us and them.
