E81 - Daniel Leviathan (Co-Founder Zoé)

In this episode, we speak with Daniel Leviathan, a truly visionary leader with a diverse and inspiring background, despite being only 27. Daniel’s aspirations can come across as borderline delusional, but I think if anyone can achieve what he’s set off to - it’s him. It’s as Steve Jobs famously said “Those who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. In 2019, Daniel embarked on a profound personal journey, exploring the depths of shamanism, Buddhism, and other ancient and modern wisdom traditions. His quest for knowledge led him to study at the Highden Mystery School and even spend a month on a deserted island, immersing himself in transformative internal experiences. By 2021, Daniel had founded and led a project called Sync, which brought together individuals from diverse domains into cohesive groups of twelve. Through his facilitation, these groups deepened their trust and coherence, creating powerful connections. In 2023, Daniel co-founded Zoé with Michael Matias. Zoé is a community of heart-driven individuals dedicated to building a sustainable, just, and beautiful world. Through online and in-person experiences in Israel and California, Zoé fosters deep internal connections on a personal level, social level, and with nature. The gatherings focus on building trust, appreciating life's inherent beauty, aligning around shared values, and collaborating on impactful projects and initiatives. We discuss: • the importance of synergy among value-driven, capable individuals to create a more sustainable world • the challenges of food waste, global warming, and the misalignment between real value and incentives • the phenomena of tragedy of the commons, arms race, and misalignment between real value and incentives • the misalignment between GDP metrics and real value and the need for a shift in societal values • the importance of being less attached to outcomes and more focused on the process • The mission of Zoé • And much more As you’ll quickly hear, this is a very unique being, deeply devoted to personal growth, empowering others and making the world a better place. We hope you enjoy your listen
