    Eldad Nutakor: The Value of the Inner Life

    In this episode of The Peswa Podcast, we sit down with Eldad Nutakor, founder of Oxygene, for a powerful and deeply reflective conversation on ideas, purpose, and what it truly means to build. Eldad shares a unique perspective on ideas—challenging the notion that they are simply created, and instead exploring the belief that ideas often come from the divine. He explains why ideas matter, not just as tools for business, but as responsibilities tied to purpose. The conversation goes deeper into his belief that entrepreneurial greatness cannot be fully taught. While skills can be learned, he argues that true builders are often called, not made. This is why there can only be one Elon Musk and one Mark Zuckerberg—not because others lack ambition, but because greatness is rooted in individuality. Eldad introduces a powerful idea: “You cannot be anything you want to be, but you can be everything you were created for.” He challenges the culture of limitless possibility and instead calls for alignment with purpose. We also explore the importance of the inner life—the unseen foundation that shapes everything outward. From discipline to identity, Eldad explains why who you are internally determines what you can sustain externally. This episode will shift how you think about ideas, success, and your place in the world. Watch now. #ThePeswaPodcast #Entrepreneurship #Purpose #Ideas #Execution #InnerLife
