“That could never be me.”
Have you ever heard or thought about this phrase before? Maybe when you were passing a homeless person on the street or discussing someone who’s political views differ from yours.
The ability to provide compassion to those who you dissociate from or disagree with, is the philosophy behind genuine compassion. Providing compassion to those who are likeminded is easy and comfortable.
Our guest Dane Flanigan emphasizes the importance of being comfortable when uncomfortable. This mindset and the entrepreneurial spirit, that he says is part of his DNA, have allowed him to embrace the fear of the unknown and chase his passions. All of which led him to where he is today-a successful CEO.
His self-reflective and positive outlook on past and present experiences reflects his affinity to always approach and see people with understanding eyes. He ultimately helps us recognize the interconnectedness of humanity and how positive life can be.
