It was discussed in the context of Naveen Jain's life and entrepreneurial journey, including his work on Moon Express and his philosophy on solving big problems.

"

And when I read about the mission of Moon Express, I was like, whoa, how does one even think of that?

Well, if you think about what are some of the biggest problems facing humanity, first thing is really the survival of the human species.

So if one spacecraft gets damaged, either because of some external situation or we humans are pretty capable people ourselves, we could destroy this planet and at least we could save the human species and recreate the human species on other places.

And I do think that's important to highlight because your journey is incredible. You didn't have it handed to you on a plate.

But the truth really is life is a continuum. Every thought process is built on something in the past. Every experience is built on something from the past.

"

I read a book a few years ago, it's a book that truly changed my life. It's called Exponential Organizations and it's all about how the greatest companies in the world think exponentially.

This was one of the first books that talked about the idea that Airbnb has access to more real estate than any hotel company in the world. Uber has access to more vehicles than any car service. Instagram has more access to media but doesn't make any.

Think about that, in 10 to 20 years, these companies have achieved what it's taken companies 50 plus years to achieve. And a lot of these companies achieved that within their first 10 years. It's unbelievable because there was a lot of complacency and comfort from all these other companies where these other organizations, these exponential organizations were able to supersede and move super fast past them.

It was said that the book was about how to bring spirituality into the workplace, merging the Buddha aspect with the badass aspect of our nature.

"

But the ultimate thing is you want to be hyper productive. You learn to listen to that voice within. Listen to your soul, tap into the universe. And you now are taking deliberate, correct action to making the world better.

My new book, The Buddha and the Badass, tries to break that down into a series of patents and ideas that people can follow.

Now the question, the technique is this. It's about asking the right questions, but the questions have assumption that the outcome is clear.

So this is a technique, okay? So this technique is a technique that I write about in my book. This is actually in chapter nine of the book, Buddha and the Badass.

It's about merging the Buddha aspect of our nature with the bad-ass aspect of our nature. The Buddha is going within. The bad-ass is going out and shifting the world, but shifting the world based on the insights of the Buddha.

My first big book that I wrote called Beyond Training was just that it was like, okay, so as an athlete, there's all these other things like digestion and hormones and endocrine system and inflammation and blood sugar regulation and immune system integrity and all these things that we don't think about when it comes to what it truly takes to have long health span and lifespan.
