Balancing Entrepreneurship and Aquaponics Through Aristotle’s Telos

Lately, I’ve been wrestling with how to align my entrepreneurial drive with my passion for sustainable aquaponics farming. Aristotle’s idea of telos that everything has a purpose it’s meant to fulfill got me thinking: how can these two pursuits complement each other rather than compete?

On one hand, entrepreneurship thrives on innovation and scalability, while aquaponics demands patience and a deep respect for natural cycles. Has anyone else navigated this balance? I’m curious how others integrate purpose-driven goals into seemingly divergent fields. Are there frameworks or mindsets that help reconcile growth with sustainability?

As a dentist by trade, I’m no stranger to juggling multiple interests, but this one feels particularly nuanced. Would love to hear how you’ve applied philosophical principles to practical, hands-on projects like farming or business. Any insights or personal experiences would be hugely appreciated!
