ASK ME ANYTHING, PART ONE | Brett Kaufman

You sent the questions. Brett answers them.

This is the first Ask Me Anything episode of Innerspace. It covers the ground listeners keep asking about: what Brett is actually building toward now, the lessons that cost him the most, the moments that woke him up, and how to have the conversations most people spend their lives avoiding.

The first hard lesson came the day he realized nobody was going to hand him the life he wanted, and that freedom of his time, his money, and his relationships was something he would have to go make himself.

The second came later, after the achieving and the accolades, when he got to the top of that mountain and found out it was not the thing.

The third landed hardest. Moving from one business into the next taught him who his friends really are and who his friends really aren't.

From there, the wake up calls that redirected his life inside a single stretch of ninety days. The listening practice he still uses in difficult conversations. What to do with the voice in your head.

And an honest accounting of Gravity, what worked, what didn't, and why community stopped needing a building.

Part two is coming.
