Ep. 43 - Gratitude is the Goal

How do you cultivate a belief system that operates around gratitude? How can minorities benefit from mindfulness? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda welcomes Willie to shut up and sit down with her to crack open chapter 9 which is all about gratitude. Together, they discuss how American society is built on a foundation of belief systems and the dissonance that exists in our lives and in business. They speak on the ways mindfulness and this practice of shutting up and sitting in silence can benefit minorities and guide them to inner freedom, love, and inclusion. Willie also shares his candid thoughts on what the world would be like if minorities challenged their belief systems and operated in the victor mindset, rather than the victim mindset.

“It would be quite powerful and I hope it happens.” - Willie

As a businessman, scientist, family man, and mentor, Willie shares his experience with sitting with his suffering and exploring the belief systems that impact and influence us as human beings. Then, he sheds light on how his career has been impacted from practicing mindfulness, detailing his shift from corporate career to entrepreneurship and overcoming the fear behind starting a business. Plus, you’ll hear Willie’s wonderful gratitude list at the end of the episode!

“All the inner work you were doing is now able to come out into the outer world and show up and make a difference.” - Yedda to Willie
