Reading the first couple sentences reminds me immediately of Ayn Rand's philosophy.

That is the difference between those driven to produce and everyone else. No amount of money will stop someone who wants to change the world

The next sentence is the part that I think Ayn Rand failed to grasp or acknowledge and what all her haters love to cling to. It's spot on though

My prize isn't money, it is making the world a better place for everyone and taking a small cut off the top.

The producers shape the world and find satisfaction in the very act of creation, there's a value in the core of that act that's worth more than the realized physical results that come as an outcome of the effort.

Is there anything more valuable than living a life where your daily actions align with your values and your work fulfills the purpose of seeing those values realized?

Congrats for living your values at such a level that the impact IS changing the world we live in. Well done.
