Key Takeaways
Adopt the 'Misogi' framework by committing to one difficult, year-defining challenge that forces personal growth and creates distinct life memories outside of business.
Practice 'unreasonable hospitality' in business by looking for small, high-impact ways to personalize the customer experience and solve problems before they are even asked.
Utilize wealth as a tool to improve quality of life through proximity, such as building 'micro-communities' of friends and family rather than using it as a measuring stick for status.
