If people can't make ends meet at home with food, benefits, health, and health care in particular, how can they be present, engaged, knowledge workers when they come to work?
Not too far away from now - in the next 6-7 years - 75 million Americans will be retail buyers of healthcare. And they'll come to the marketplace with their own money and either a subsidy from their employer or a subsidy from their government. And it doesn't much matter - they'll be spending their money.
I don't think people are skeptical. I think people appreciate the authenticity, actually. I think people are looking for authentic leaders these days and being yourself.
I think we should do meditation and yoga at work.
I engaged - started engaging in yoga as a physical practice, but very quickly found out there was something broader to it, and that it was actually helpful for my pain, and started to get into meditation, started to study the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita and a lot of the scriptures associated with yoga, the Yoga Sutras, and very quickly came to this conclusion that this had a huge impact on my ability to lead, but, more importantly, the ability to control my sympathetic nervous system, which had a direct tie to the pain in my arm.
I came from a family that sometimes didn't have insurance.
I'm not the most loved person on the planet. People assume they understand who I am by what I do.
My arm hurts all the time now. It hurts right now. It never stops hurting.
I don't wear ties to work. And I don't shave.
