Episode Overview
This week, Amy hops on the phone with Scott Kriens, a highly successful entrepreneur, the co-founder of 1440 Multiversity with his wife Joanie, and, we’re lucky to say, one of
After losing his father in 2004, Scott began to think long and hard about the question “What really matters?” At his core, Scott is a learner and a builder, committed to finding new ways to tie the world around us to that which is real and powerful within us. Moving beyond having more of suffering less, 1440 helps people and groups interested in finding their own unique connection to meaning, so they too can answer the question “What really matters?”
Listen on as we talk about how Scott and Amy first met barefoot in a muddy monsoon, what Scott thinks pathological collaboration is, how a blind date to Kenny Loggins led to 1440, and why being selfish is a good thing!
What we cover:
- How Scott self-medicates with activity
- Leadership development and being authentic in your relationships, business or otherwise
- The building blocks of social-emotional learning and some nifty teaching toolboxes for kids
- Why we need to bring compassion into our digital world and which companies are working on these technologies
- Relationships as a work in process
- Trusting the universe
- And more!
At the end of the day, what really matters in life is our relationships — with ourselves, with those we love, and with our community. Building meaningful connections begins with being authentic. Scott has been practicing what he preaches since developing his leadership skills as the former CEO of tech giant Juniper Networks and continues to learn and grow to this day, always doing the hard work of working on yourself.
Social Wellness Challenge
Embrace in the pursuit of selfishness!
In order to show up for others, we have to make a priority of our own selves, even though that isn’t exactly what society celebrates, admires, and promotes. Being selfless, generous, and being there for others is much more admirable. Can you prioritize and develop a more complete and compassionate understanding of and commitment to your own selfish self, knowing that your self-awareness is the foundation for your relationships to follow?
Work hard on your own self — unashamedly, unapologetically, unabashedly, with great vigor, and great commitment.

The work of the Foundation led Scott and Joanie to launch 1440 Multiversity, a 21st century learning destination in the California redwoods of Santa Cruz County.
Scott is committed to finding new ways to connect the world around us to that which is real and powerful within us. Through 1440, he’s committted to helping others find their own meaning and what matters to them.
It requires a commitment to the importance of community, and the importance of showing up as a contributing, compassionate, empathic member of that community in ways that nourish self and nourish others. And I think if each of us committed to
