Description

"The absence of something good, like camaraderie and friendships, can be just as detrimental as the presence of something bad." —  Ray East

In this episode, Nozomi and Ray discuss:

• Being on the right team. 
• Getting to know yourself to find your purpose. 
• Moving towards mindedness and creativity. 
• Being proactive, creative, and a leader.

Key Takeaways:

• Children are the best recorders, but the worst interpreters of information. 
• Everybody has strengths and a purpose. That purpose is always there, but you need to keep living and find that inside of yourself. 
• Inviting the perspective of those you trust can help to accelerate your own learning of what your purpose is. 
• Hidden in all of our dreams is our purpose, our reason for being. 

"A lot of times people say, ‘Oh, I want to find my purpose.’ But the truth is, it's always inside of you." —  Nozomi Morgan 

"Really valuing the person in front of you and being curious about their purpose and deriving that purpose out of them is actually the most powerful way to be a boundaryless leader in a global culture, because it crosses cultures." —  Ray East
