96: Ayurvedic Healing in Community with Dr. Ramkumar Kutty

You’re in for a treat in today’s show. I’m excited to be joined by Dr. Ramkumar Kutty, one of the visionaries behind Vaidyagrama, an Ayurveda Healing Village. I’ve spent a lot of time there in rural India over the last ten years, and I’ve seen how this special place has evolved with a focus on creating an eco-village. His philosophy embodies the values of building a values-based cosmic business, which is what this podcast is all about. He shares insights about moving from ideation to skilled action and why people often get stuck in the wisdom-collection phase.
