“If you don't have courage, you're not even in the middle of consciousness.” - Justin Foster

CBQ - Why is being a conscious entrepreneur not the default?

This episode explores why conscious entrepreneurship isn’t the norm, breaking down three key barriers: a lack of awareness around consciousness, systemic pressures that discourage it, and the false belief that consciousness and capitalism can’t coexist. The conversation dives into what it really takes to build a conscious business—moral clarity, scalable genius, and meaningful impact—while challenging common misconceptions about wealth and success. It also unpacks how influence, ethics, and personal fulfillment play a central role in redefining what it means to be a successful entrepreneur.

• [00:06:08] “If you're a real entrepreneur, you look more like an artist.”

This episode explores the Foundation Blindspot—where individuals struggle to articulate what they truly want due to a lack of clarity around their own talents and the environments that suit them best.

They emphasize the power of specificity and emotional insight in crafting fulfilling professional paths.

• [00:12:03] "What pisses you off? That’s probably where your energy and purpose are hiding."
