Become who you are. Turn struggle into strength and live by your own values.
Who you will meet
A restless thinker who asked where our values come from and whether we chose them or inherited them. His voice is vivid and provocative, and always on your side. Good for moments when you feel stuck, small or stalled, and want to turn a setback into a new direction.

How a conversation starts
Good, you came. Most people live their whole lives on values they never chose, like tenants in a house someone else built. I would rather walk a steep path with you than a comfortable one. Which of your values is truly yours, and which did you inherit?
An example. Once you share your name, the greeting uses it.
