Founder. Investor. Philanthropist. Adventurer and Movie-Producer. Meet David Segel.

Business should be creative and playful; generous and rewarding; and so full of meaning.

Ultimately, businesses should, and absolutely must be, fundamentally human.

David achieves this so incredibly well.

In this episode, David and Jonny explore:

  1. The importance of finding meaning in what we do
  2. The space and necessity for generosity and service whilst making money
  3. ⁠How business is fundamentally a creative game and we're fundamentally creative beings: Why finding a way to keep scratching that itch and staying off the conveyor belt of busy doing is crucial to success.
