Let me ask you something I wish someone had asked me thirty years ago: When you imagine yourself at the end of your journey, what stories do you want told about your life? Not the ones in business journals, but those whispered by people whose lives you’ve touched. What ripples do you want to leave in the vast ocean of human experience?

I talk to you not just as a successful business owner, nor solely as an academic who pursued pure knowledge, but as someone who understands the weight of success and its unexpected hollowness when achieved without deeper purpose.

I spent decades measuring worth through conventional metrics – profit margins, academic citations, prestige, and possessions. Each achievement brought fleeting satisfaction, like a sugar rush craving more. It wasn’t until watching my grandchildren play, immersed in simple joy, that I questioned the scaffolding of success I’d built around myself.
