Part 1: The Flow of Work — Where My Purpose Meets Experience

There are moments when I get into a flow of work and it feels almost transcendent. The music’s right, the ideas are flowing, and time seems to stop. It’s not just productivity — it’s an experience. Something deeper happens in the mind, almost spiritual in nature.

I’ve been thinking about how to bottle that feeling — to turn that internal experience into something that others can share. What if we could create a workplace that feels like that flow state? A space that’s fun, engaging, surrounded by people you genuinely like and respect, focused on work that feels like it matters?

That’s the dream — to work with purpose, surrounded by good people, doing meaningful things.

Of course, the challenge is obvious — passion doesn’t always pay. Building that kind of environment isn’t easy. Revenue models for purpose-driven work can be thin. But what if we could find a way to make it sustainable? What if we could turn that euphoric experience of being fully engaged into something profitable, something that scales?

The Spiritual Foundation: Learning by Study and by Faith

This whole vision is built on something deeper — on beliefs that come from the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In the Doctrine and Covenants, section 88, the Lord teaches that we are to “seek learning, even by study and also by faith.” Those two ideas — study and faith — are the foundation of true growth. One without the other is incomplete.

In section 93, it also teaches that “intelligence” is something we are meant to gain in this life, and that “whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection.” That means that learning, growth, and the pursuit of truth aren’t temporary — they’re eternal.

That’s the vision. To create a space where people can grow in intelligence — where learning by study and by faith coexist. Where the gospel principles of growth, discipline, and creativity translate into real, tangible experiences of work, innovation, and purpose.

Chasing the Experience

Being in Las Vegas right now, speaking at Digimarcon, I can’t help but see the contrast everywhere. This city runs on experience — it’s built on the human desire for euphoria. Gambling, drugs, nightlife — all of it is people chasing that same transcendent, out-of-body feeling.

But these are counterfeit highs. They’re short-lived, hollow versions of something much deeper. They mimic the gospel — the search for joy, fulfillment, connection — but without the substance or longevity.

What I’m after is something that lasts. A space where work itself becomes that euphoric, purpose-driven experience — not through shortcuts, but through alignment. Where what we do and why we do it are one and the same.

Building the Future of Work

So how do we make that real?

I keep coming back to the idea of creating an ecosystem of thinkers and builders — a place where the analytical and the creative coexist. A place for the outliers: the Mark Zuckerbergs, the Elon Musks, Jensen Huang’s — people who think differently, see differently, and create differently.

Imagine bringing together the quants, the dreamers, and the doers — the people who are obsessed with solving hard problems, not for the money but for the impact. Give them the right environment, and they’ll make magic.

Sports, Opportunity, and the Next Generation

I’ve also been thinking a lot about sports and youth opportunity. Sports have always been one of the purest forms of flow — that same feeling of focus, purpose, and exhilaration. But the systems around sports — the bureaucracy, the gatekeeping, the lack of access — often keep the most talented kids from ever getting a chance.

What if we built a bridge for those kids? A system where talent, not money, determines opportunity. Where the next generation of athletes, creators, and thinkers are given the mentorship, tools, and community they need to succeed?

Because the same thing that makes work meaningful — purpose, connection, and belonging — is what allows people to thrive in every field.

The Vision

Ultimately, my dream is to create a place — physical or digital — where purpose meets experience. A place where work feels alive. Where people are not just working for something, but through something.

We’re all chasing a kind of spiritual high — a sense of flow, meaning, and connection. The world tries to sell it through shortcuts, the real thing comes from the source of truth, God our Father, but what if we could create something like that for business?

That’s the experience I want to build — a space where people can learn by study and by faith, grow in intelligence, and create something that lasts beyond this life.
