But also I think that just it's really remarkable seeing the strength of the relationships and the friendships that grow out of bringing radically different people from completely different cultures together and seeing them connect on a really human level.
I think that inspires people and causes them to reflect on what are they doing to foster human connection in their teams?
What are they doing to
create work teams or workforces that are really flourishing.
That's the most satisfying thing of what we do, in my opinion.
Can I just add one thing?
Because you mentioned about time.
And I think in the West, we are obsessed with time, right?
And we're obsessed with who's first and who's the youngest.
We can all name entrepreneurs like Mark Zuckerberg, who became billionaires at 19 or 20.
There are many successful entrepreneurs who build multimillion dollar businesses, but they don't achieve it until they're
50 or 55 and that's just not interesting to us it's not sexy it's almost like we're over we fetishize this idea that speed is the most important thing and i think it speaks to the fact that in the west we are destination driven whereas the samburu it's much more about the journey it's the life's path and how you get there is more important than where you end up
I think that with spirituality, they have a belief in God, and Kai, they call, is their God.
But Nkai is represented in nature and he's also represented in the past and in the future.
And they think on a much longer term basis.
They believe if they don't live a good, wholesome and respectable life, the ramifications of that are not going to be visited on them as individuals, but rather possibly their descendants.
They want to live a good life.
because they want to set their descendants up for success.
And so they take a much longer term view.
And I think that, again, is something that we can learn from in the West.
