187. From Adversity to Innovation: Chris Pan's Trailblazing Impact
About this episode
“Part of the problem—the illness we're all suffering from—is consumerism. We've built a capitalist society that has its beautiful parts, too. But the idea of turning everyone toward consumerism equates to depression. The human spirit needs to create; it's the opposite of consumerism. And so, it doesn't matter whether you're creating a poem, a piece of art, a song, or singing—you must create to be alive.” —Chris Pan
