Sai Marie/InfinityxCreations

Here's a clip of my just completed interview with an incredibly inspiring guest on The Mind of Sai Marie, Jeff Rasley; author, humanitarian, and president of two foundations. Jeff has dedicated his life to exploring what it means to live a truly meaningful life. Jeff has written several books on the topic, including Godless: Living a Valuable Life beyond Beliefs and 72 Wisdoms: A practical guide to make life more meaningful. He is also the president of the Scientech Foundation of Indiana, which supports STEAM education, and the Basa Village Foundation, which has transformed a remote village in the Nepal Himalayas with vital infrastructure and sustainable economic projects.

01:39misdirected so until you do that time to sit down and sort of sort out what that life looks like for you

01:45so you can make a plan to make the steps toward it you're kind of just lost in the world
