A raw account of an entrepreneur’s journey through business failure and psychedelic-induced ego death to find universal connection and peace with his inner self.
This blog reflects on the lessons of a classic monk story, exploring how we carry past mistakes, regrets, and outdated beliefs. It encourages mindfulness, letting go of unnecessary burdens, and choosing peace over self-punishment to live fully in the present.
A reflection on how tying identity to work can quietly erode our sense of self—and why redefining meaning beyond job titles is essential in a world reshaped by burnout culture and AI disruption.
This piece explores how traditional linear problem-solving often fails in complex, real-world situations — especially in business. Through personal experience and practical examples, it introduces systems thinking as a more effective approach: focusing on patterns, feedback loops, and interconnected causes rather than isolated symptoms. The blog highlights how understanding reinforcing and balancing loops leads to better decisions, fewer unintended consequences, and more sustainable solutions. Ultimately, it argues that modern challenges require a mindset shift — from quick fixes to deeper, systemic awareness.
