Daniel Leviathan: "It's not about the quantity, it's about the quality."
In a conversation with Noa Eshed and Ronen Menipaz on the podcast Real Life Superpowers, Daniel Leviathan discusses the importance of synergy among value-driven, capable individuals to create a more sustainable world
"It's not about the quantity, it's about the quality, and the only thing we can really do is make sure that our instrument is in integrity, is sharp, it's attuned, and to do our best, and then trust the rest," said Daniel Leviathan, Co-Founder of Zoé, on the podcast Real Life Superpowers. "Just like in nature, sometimes you go fish, and you have one fish, and sometimes there is a huge, bulk of fish coming. So you never know, but the only thing you do know is that you need to be there with your fishing rod and do your craft."
In this episode, Ronen and Noa speak with Daniel about his journey and the ideas shaping his work.
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 (20 minute leaders). 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.
Topics discussed:
- 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 proces
- The mission of Zoé
And much more...
