1 小时 9 分钟Love is a naturally present byproduct of a healthy ecosystem.
And the challenge is when you're in an unhealthy organizational ecosystem where it's a lot about conflict and domination, crush the competition, win lose mindset at work, but then go home and be loving to your spouse, your kids and your neighbors.
And it's very difficult to live that way because it's so incongruous.
Whereas hopefully, and again, we're highly imperfect.
But if we create an ecosystem in the organization where people feel that love and they become comfortable in it, it's just obviously so much easier to go home and continue on a pace, right?
So imagine being in your twenties, fresh out of washing dishes at a local restaurant, borrowing just enough money to open this tiny local deli with a friend who shared your passion for food and community and business.
And now imagine that decades later, that single decision would profoundly change the lives of not just tens of thousands of regular customers, but millions of people around the world.
Well, what my guess today, Ari once, who I didn't realize when starting Zingerman's deli with a $20,000 loan from a bank and a degree in russian history from the University of Michigan, was that he was seeding a revolution.
Actually, in hindsight, maybe he did know that.
Now, 17 companies later, and sitting as the CEO and co founding partner of Zingerman's community of businesses, Ari sees commerce as an engine of impact, expression and service that changes people's lives.
In Ari and his ideas, they've set off a global ripple of compassion and dignity, imagination and aliveness in the world of business, inviting people to reimagine a profoundly different, radically expansive and inclusive way of defining success.
Named by Inc.
Magazine as one of the world's top ten CEO's, he's forging an entirely new way in business that rejects the norm and is grounded in purposeful vision, passion, and anarchy theory.
He's written extensively about the values and beliefs that have kept the now iconic Zingerman's Delicatessen, his first business venture afloat and successful for over 40 years.
In weekly newsletters and the numerous books he's authored, such as a lapsed anarchist approach to the power of beliefs and a lapsed anarchist approach to managing ourselves and so many others, he is read by, trained by, followed by so many people globally.
And in our chat today, Arie shares some of the brilliant happenings inside his head, ranging from the ways we can use history to guide us in work and life and business today.
A reclamation of this word anarchy as a tool for impact and equality.
Ari's natural laws of business and the importance of being in harmony with nature and the power of visioning and the steps that you can take to cast your own life and world changing vision.
This isn't just about business.
It's about life.
