When you truly go inside [yourself], and you bring the business idea out,
that's social entrepreneurialism. Because I think when we're operating from
that perspective, it's very, very difficult not to want to do something that
benefits humanity, and that really serves the world, and that is for something
bigger than just yourself.
~ Brian Johnson
When Brian Johnson
founded Zaadz, a social networking site for people who want to change the world,
it was an outgrowth of his dual nature as a philosopher and an entrepreneur.
As an entrepreneur,
he loves finding a need and building a business to fill that need. But for
Brian, that's not the whole picture. The opportunity also has to speak to his
heart.
As a philosopher,
Brian loves delving into the wisdom of the great thinkers. But he isn't just
interested in thinking grand thoughts. What he really wants to know is, how do
I apply this to my life? How do these ideas play out in the real world?
By the time Zaadz was bought by Gaiam in August 2007, the site had reached 85,000 members. Today, Brian is applying both his philosophical and entrepreneurial sides to a new company, thinkArete.com.
Want to discover Brian's secret to navigating the transition from lost and floundering early on in his career to thriving in the midst of his bliss? How about how he maximizes the energy he has to put towards achieving success? You'll hear that and more in this podcast!
