The heartbeat of Bonfire With Soul is 12 unique principles

Widen the Lens

The concept of competition is an archaic thought. The simple act of expanding the aperture for how you look at life opens up a new world of possibility.

Product is a Mirror Into Your Soul

It all starts here. If the product is not great, it stops here too. The thing you are building is a reflection of your soul and values.

Live Empathy

Before connection comes empathy. Abundance comes when we understand the essence of things.

It Begins Inside

The most important audience you need to ignite is your internal culture. Invest here and then go external. Inspire and empower your people.

The Beauty of Not Knowing

What if your job wasn't to create the magic, but the create the conditions for the magic to happen? When you invite the unknown, you are free.

Soil is Life

Creating the conditions for magic to happen requires a diverse set of ingredients. The most bountiful soil is rich in diversity. This is no different from a team.

Inspiration vs Desperation

Where the focus goes, the energy flows. Stay attuned to your chosen response. It is the only thing you can control.

See. Feel. Trust

Time and energy spent on seeing is priceless. When we see, we feel, and ultimately, this leads to trustime and energy spent on seeing is priceless. When we see, we feel, and ultimately, this leads to trust.

Do Nothing

Important that we not confuse activity with productivity. Let others be busy. Be still. Be quiet. Do more by doing less.

Honesty vs Perfection

Effortless loyalty comes when there is a culture of honesty... inside and out. A team is built when vulnerability is nurtured. Give honest a hug.

Trust Breeds Magic

Empowerment is the ultimate elixir for a vibrant culture. Know this: you can fly here. Trust is the wings.

Dare to Suck

Nurture a culture that embraces glorious mistakes. How can we invite possibility when we play it safe? Go to the edge, your best ideas live there.
