Good givers are great getters before you get, and this idea of getting without giving is a shortcut but ultimately doesn't promote happiness.
Ever wondered how giving can transform your life? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer chats with Russell Simmons, the legendary entrepreneur behind Def Jam Records and Phat Farm. But this conversation goes beyond business success. Simmons opens up about his early days on the wrong side of the law and how he turned his life around through giving and mindfulness. Simmons believes that 'good givers are great getters'.
He shares how the act of giving can lead to true happiness, challenging the notion that success and fame alone can bring fulfillment. Dive into his insights on why we should focus on maintaining our minds just as much as our finances or homes. According to Simmons, meditation is key. It's a tool to cultivate stillness and mental well-being, something he passionately advocates for.
You'll also hear about Simmons' current projects, including his yoga studio Tantris in LA, which emphasizes meditation and stillness. He discusses the importance of creating a culture of giving and service, starting within our communities. From teaching meditation to celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres to his involvement in Occupy Wall Street, Simmons' journey is both inspiring and thought-provoking. By the end of this episode, you'll be encouraged to start small with daily acts of giving and meditation.
As Simmons puts it, 'Good givers are great getters before you get, and this idea of getting without giving is a shortcut but ultimately doesn't promote happiness'. Tune in for a blend of entrepreneurial wisdom and practical advice on living a mindful, generous life.
