In this episode, Neel chats with David Lahav, a former locksmith company owner turned meditation teacher. They discuss David's journey in entrepreneurship, his mindset shift towards finding purpose and freedom, and the role of meditation in his life. David emphasizes the importance of being an importer of happiness rather than an exporter, and how meditation helps reduce stress and improve decision-making. He also explains how entrepreneurship and meditation are not mutually exclusive, but rather work together to create a fulfilling life. The episode concludes with a discussion on the definition of freedom and the relevance of engaging with the world. Takeaways Entrepreneurship can be a funding mechanism for pursuing one's passion and purpose. Meditation can help reduce stress, improve decision-making, and provide mental clarity for entrepreneurs. Happiness and fulfillment should not be dependent on external achievements or material possessions. The goalpost of success and accomplishment will always move, so it's important to find internal contentment. Engaging with the world and sharing one's knowledge and experiences can bring a sense of relevancy and fulfillment.
