Welcome to
, a newsletter and podcast exploring a new definition of impact.My guest on today’s episode is
. Scott was a co-founder of Troops, a successful tech startup that was acquired by Salesforce in 2022. He’s now the author of a popular newsletter called Consciousness: The Doorway to Human Evolution and the host of the Evolution.FM Podcast.Scott’s deeper story is that while he was finding traditional success with his startup, he was also undergoing a process of spiritual awakening that, in his own words, felt sometimes like a living hell.
Since coming through that awakening journey, Scott has committed himself to helping other high-achieving entrepreneurial folks find the synergy between their calling to spiritual growth and their desire to build and accomplish meaningful things in modern day life. He’s recently been building an awesome community for entrepreneurs on the spiritual path, which is part of how he and I first connected.
Scott and I discuss in practical terms how to connect with and be guided by our souls, why it’s perhaps more important to do so now than ever before, and how we can find our own way to a resonant connection with soul that’s characterized by empowerment and unconditional love — as opposed to the orientation of control and shame that so often permeates many aspects of modern day religion.
Another favorite part of this conversation for me was digging in with Scott around his idea of impact. As two Princeton grads who have found our way to the spiritual path, it was fun to compare notes and explore the possibility that, as Scott puts it:
“It’s damn near impossible to have the maximum impact if you’re not in alignment with your soul.”
Last but not least, Scott closes out this episode with some very on-point and helpful advice around how to navigate some of the more challenging aspects of the spiritual journey, such as dark nights of the soul, learning to let go, and surrendering into trust.
Please enjoy, and as always, let me know what you think!
