And I think there's a lot of other things when you have a lot of freedom, you can kind of get crushed by the paradox of choice and possibilities. When I achieved that freedom, it was also very hard because what do you do when at least financially and to some extent as an entrepreneur, you can kind of do anything.

And I actually think that's why globally there is a little bit of a crisis of meaning because we're at a moment in history where regardless of your wealth, by any means, we are all way wealthier and have access to way more resources than previous generations, which also has expanded the options and possibilities and who we can become.

Yeah, we can get... No, no, I didn't say the standard of living is getting better. I said our access to resources are getting better. The more abundance we have, if we're not careful, can actually impact our quality of life. Because more choice isn't necessarily better. It's like when you show up to the restaurant and you have a book this big of items...

It's not easier to make your choice of what you want to order than if it's just one page of something that's highly curated.

In a world where more than ever, any time in history, you can get on YouTube and learn anything, you can become anything, we're more free than any generation, we have more possibility than any generation, I think it also becomes harder to identify who you are, what you want, and meaning in your life. And I think at a different scale, success sort of created that same challenge.

My whole life was building companies, trying to make money, getting to the point that I wanted to be. And then when I got there, I was kind of like, okay, now what? Who am I? What do I do with my time? And I could do anything with my time. So what is meaningful? And that requires you to look inward and really self-explore.
