Reaching Millions and the Question of Impact

At 42:40 · chapter starts 42:10

Mariana raises a challenge Lee hasn't been asked quite this way before: if the Z's have something powerful to offer, why is that power mostly reaching people who already have the privilege of time and disposable income for spiritual work? Lee's social media team tells him his content reaches roughly 2 million people per month across platforms — but he acknowledges he's 'stunned' by that number, not the product of a master plan. He pushes back gently: YouTube is free, he has been giving away content for over a decade, and the paying customer base is small compared to the total audience it subsidises. But Mariana won't let it go — access, she argues, also requires the privilege of time, and the people she spends most of her working life with are not scrolling YouTube for consciousness content. Lee's long-term goal, he says, is to build a platform that uses the same model at a different scale: curating and funding content that reaches people who aren't his typical audience. He stopped individual readings in 2019 specifically to have more bandwidth for this bigger vision.
