Real, reflective, and refreshingly calm. With David Horne (Co-founder & Managing Partner, Calm Capital), we explore life, leadership, and investing from the inside out - mastering what you can control, redefining success from within, and building lasting businesses through stewardship, not ownership.
David’s humbleness was super refreshing, a good reality check that building business isn’t always about speed or scale, but about rhythm - staying even-keel in the waves, trusting process over pressure, and remembering that growth grounded in calm compounds for decades.
Through the Bee Formless™ methodology, we explored:
LEARN (Letting go)
✨ Inputs Over Outcomes: focus on what’s in your control, surrender the rest, and navigate uncertainty with grace
✨ Golf & Business: the practice of precision, patience, and finding freedom through surrender
UNLEARN (Reimagine & reshape)
✨ Redefining Success: fulfillment and freedom found from within, not through external benchmarks
✨ Detach from Outcome Obsession: avoid fleeting goals by reimagining purpose and process
RELEARN (Test & implement)
✨ Stewardship over Ownership: build businesses meant to last, with care and consciousness
✨ The Calm Capital Ethos: stay even-keel, leadership as consistency, humility, and compound trust
ACTIVE RECOVERY (Reflect & reset)
✨ Pause, Purpose & Presence: detach from societal noise to find your own path
✨ Unlock Flow State: morning rhythm, mindfulness, and cognitive clarity to sustain balance
