Yancey Strickler

I think one of the greatest issues we face as human beings is cultivating more self-awareness. Being in touch with who you truly are as an individual with acceptance, yet with social media and the copious amounts of distractions we face, it may be harder than ever to achieve that goal. Bentoism is meant to help us combat the noisy and chaotic world in order to achieve more clarity and live life on a higher frequency. "Bentoism is a guide to self-coherence." On today's episode of the Spiritual Spiral, I am thrilled to welcome author and entrepreneur Yancey Strickler to the show. Yancey may be best known for co-founding Kickstarter, but I was introduced to Yancey when I recently heard him on the Ezra Klein show talking about his book, "This Could Be Our Future." Yancey talks about Bentoism, living in a capitalistic society and I think his book also serves as a guide on how to live a more meaningful life. Yancey and I talk about technology and social media and Yancey tells us why he believes social media is merely a mirror of what's happening in our culture. We also talk about creativity, the music industry and why the film industry may be stuck in the cycle of manufacturing sequels. Be sure to visit Yancey on his website where you can sign up for his newsletter and be sure to purchase his fantastic new book on Amazon.
