Unlocking Joy: The Power of Daily Gratitude

 

Take away:
The transformative power of gratitude and its impact on overall well-being and success. Cultivating gratitude through simple, consistent practices can lead to profound positive changes in one's life, affecting mental health, personal relationships, and even professional success.
 
Money Learnings:
When Sohale was very young (around 4-5 years old), his mother would play investment tapes in the car. These tapes discussed topics like how to invest in the stock market. Surprisingly, Sohale found these investment tapes interesting and "cool" at a young age, which was unusual for a child. In elementary and middle school, Sohale participated in fake stock programs, which he enjoyed and which sparked his interest in entrepreneurship. Sohale's mother approached investing with more fear and emotion, while his father was more even-keeled and objective about financial decisions. Through his father's approach, Sohale learned about the importance of understanding larger economic forces when making financial decisions.
 
Bio:
Sohale Sizar is the founder of Soul with the mission to illuminate the daily practice of gratitude for his rapidly growing online community.
 
An entrepreneur since the age of nine with 15 years of dedicated practice in meditation and gratitude, Sohale translated his experiences into earning a Stanford MBA and building ventures spanning non-profit charities, education, and consumer technology. Soahle is now an exited entrepreneur on a mission to facilitate access to one's inner light through his gratitude teachings.
 
Highlights from this episode:
  • Gratitude practices can have profound impacts on mental and physical health, including improved sleep, cardiovascular health, and pain tolerance.
  • Developing self-awareness and examining our internal narratives is crucial for personal growth and overcoming limiting beliefs.
  • The words we use shape our thoughts and attitudes - being mindful of negative language patterns can help shift to a more positive mindset.
  • Experimenting with different paths and careers early in life can help uncover one's unique skills and passions.
  • Simple habit formation techniques, like reducing friction through text message reminders, can make practicing gratitude more sustainable.
  • Viewing gratitude through a spiritual lens can reveal one's inherent abundance and connection to a greater source.
  • Compassion for oneself is a key component of happiness that many people struggle with but is essential for overall wellbeing.

Harnessing Quantum Physics for Personal Growth and Healing

 

Take away:
True financial success may require more than just conscious effort and knowledge - it may necessitate identifying and changing subconscious beliefs that are holding us back. By aligning our subconscious mind with our conscious desires, we can potentially unlock greater financial success and abundance in our lives.
 
Money Learnings:
Dr. G. Rex Kruhly's father, who grew up during the Great Depression, instilled a mindset of lack and scarcity. His father taught that money was hard to get and one should be very careful with it. Dr. Kruhly started working for his own money at age 13, driven by ambition. This childhood programming created a cognitive dissonance that later affected his ability to make money as an adult, despite his professional achievements. He never learned how to save until he was nearly 60 years old.
 
Bio:
Dr. G. Rex Kruhly is the visionary Founder of Depth Healing, a groundbreaking system that merges Applied Quantum Physics with holistic healing to help individuals overcome subconscious blocks and achieve personal greatness. With over five decades of interdisciplinary study and personal experience, Dr. G has transformed his life through resilience and mindfulness, overcoming severe emotional trauma, a debilitating back injury, homelessness, and cancer. His unique approach harmonizes inner growth with external reality, aligning perfectly with the mission to live a life on purpose. Discover how Dr. G's methods can help you rewire your mind and unlock your true potential.
 
Highlights from this episode:
  • Childhood experiences and family attitudes can deeply shape our relationship with money, often in subconscious ways.
  • Cognitive dissonance between our conscious desires and subconscious programming can block financial success.
  • Methods like "depth healing" aim to access and reprogram limiting subconscious beliefs.
  • True meditation and higher consciousness are difficult to achieve for most people.
  • We may be living in an era of widespread manipulation and control through technology and media.
  • Building "morphic fields" of positive energy through group practices may help counteract negative influences.
  • Finding legitimate mentors and masters to learn from directly is preferable to relying on academic education or AI.

Your Grass is Greener with Jason Silver

 

Take away:
The power of small, intentional changes in how we work and communicate to significantly improve productivity, decision-making, and overall job satisfaction. Focus on changing "how" you work rather than "what" you work on and recognize that outcomes are not fully in your control.
 
Money Learnings:
Jason's parents were intentional about teaching him about money from a young age. They taught him to think about how much he needed to save for things he wanted. They discussed the consequences of spending money and how to think about saving. They instilled the idea that it's not good to spend all your money at once. Both of Jason's parents had backgrounds in accounting, which may have influenced their approach to teaching him about money. Overall, Jason received structured and intentional financial education from his parents, which he considers himself fortunate to have experienced, as this level of financial education at home is relatively uncommon.
 
 
Bio:
Jason Silver is a multi-time founder of kids and a multi-time founder of companies. He gets his biggest thrill helping modern employees and their teams unlock a better way to work—surfing is a close second. He was an early employee at Airbnb and helped build an AI company from the ground up back before AI was the cool thing to do. Today, he advises a startup portfolio valued in the billions on how to build great, lasting companies that people actually enjoy working for. He’s a sought-after public speaker, instructor, and advisor on how to transform work into one of the biggest drivers of positivity in your life. When he’s not busy helping people solve their hardest workplace challenges, Jason’s kids are busy reminding him just how much of a work in progress he still is too.
 
 
Highlights from this episode:
  • Intentional parenting around money and finances can have a lasting positive impact on children's financial habits and understanding.
  • Small changes in how we communicate and make decisions at work can lead to major productivity gains and improved outcomes.
  • Using "briefbacks" to confirm understanding can dramatically reduce costly miscommunications in the workplace.
  • Focusing on alignment rather than full agreement can accelerate decision-making in organizations.
  • Clarity on who the decision-maker is for any given issue is critical for efficient decision processes.
  • Changing how we work, rather than what we work on, can often have the biggest impact on job satisfaction and effectiveness.
  • Prioritizing intentionality and being present in the moment is key to living an abundant life, rather than always deferring to the future.

Embracing the Journey: Shifting from the Pursuit of Perfection to Celebrating Progress

 

Take away:
The importance of taking action and making progress, even if it's not perfect. Perfection should not be the enemy of good. Taking imperfect action and continuing to iterate is the key to meaningful personal growth and development. The willingness to be vulnerable and embrace a process-oriented mindset is what allows people to truly transform their lives.
 
Money Learnings:
Mark Jordan's parents instilled core money values like hard work and saving. Jordan also had early entrepreneurial experience running a lawn care business as a teenager, which taught him practical lessons about managing clients, getting paid, and dealing with financial setbacks like client bankruptcies. He had more extensive financial education and skills development through his own business ventures and graduate studies, rather than formal training at home or school.
 
Bio:
Mark Jordan, founder of Unravel Groups, is a veteran entrepreneur and mentor with a background in investment banking, real estate acquisitions, and financial services. Mark, who holds both a BSBA and an MBA, has authored multiple books, established three companies, and been a part of starting two churches. He leverages his extensive experience in corporate and non-profit sectors to lead men toward transformational growth in their spiritual, relational, and vocational lives through Unravel Groups. Designed to support men from diverse backgrounds, Unravel offers both individual and group programs that emphasize personal development rooted in progress, not perfection. Mark is passionate about exploring the world with his family and has visited six of the seven continents. This zest for life and discovery enhances his mentorship, reinforcing his dedication to the pursuit of excellence and values such as integrity, leadership, and service.
 
Highlights from this episode:
  • The value of an MBA program focused on entrepreneurship in providing problem-solving skills and a framework for navigating personal finances.
  • The distinction between work-life "balance" and work-life "harmony", and why the latter is a more realistic and beneficial approach.
  • The role of vulnerability and having crucial conversations in building meaningful relationships and personal growth.
  • The significance of reading and ongoing self-improvement, and how a supportive group environment can help sustain positive habits.
  • Strategies for making self-development programs accessible, such as scholarships and flexible pricing models.
  • The importance of surrounding oneself with wise and intentional individuals, and the skill of discernment in identifying such mentors.

It's My Life and I Can Change if I Want To

The power of mindset and belief in shaping one's financial and personal success. Success isn't just about external circumstances, but about how we perceive and respond to challenges, and our willingness to continually learn, adapt, and push beyond our perceived limitations.

Despite financial hardships, he learned not to let circumstances dictate his emotional state or limit his ambitions.

Sublime Knowledge

 

Take away:
The power of understanding and aligning our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs with our goals to create positive change in our lives. The importance of moving beyond limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns, often formed in childhood, to embrace a more expansive view of personal potential and abundance. By practicing self-reflection, asking mentally enabling questions, and tapping into intuition, individuals can rewire their subconscious minds and break free from cycles of fear, doubt, and stagnation.
By understanding how our mental faculties work and aligning them with our aspirations, we can lead more fulfilled, purposeful, and abundant lives.
 
Money Learnings:
Alia grew up in New York City with a mother who worked extremely hard to support them after Alia's father passed away when she was 11. She observed her mother working 12 hours a day, seven days a week to pay the bills and support their life in expensive New York City. Her mother's constant work led to medical challenges and a poor quality of life. This experience motivated Alia to seek a different path. In her early 20s, she took control of her life and financial destiny, moving herself and her mother out of New York.
Alia's childhood experiences shaped her to be stronger and more resilient against challenges. However, it wasn't until 2018 that she truly began to evolve her understanding of money. She realized that she was not the sole creator of money in her life and that it came from a divine source. This shift in perspective led her to explore multiple income streams and alternative ways of creating wealth that didn't rely solely on trading time for money.
 
Bio:
In March 2022 Alia Yasmin Khan founded Sublime Knowledge, a mindset coaching company in Phoenix, Arizona. She has transformed thousands of lives using methods that she has applied successfully to her own life. With a profound desire to help others be the best version of themselves, Alia knows the importance of learning and serving.

The Energy of Success 

 

Take away:
The importance of aligning your energy with your core values, both personally and professionally. Understanding and managing your energy is crucial for success and fulfillment. By identifying your values, leading with curiosity instead of assumptions, and making conscious choices about how you expend your energy, you can create a more productive and satisfying life. This applies not only to individuals but also to organizations, where aligning company values with employee values can lead to better engagement, retention, and overall success.
 
Money Learnings:
At age 7, during a trip to Pakistan, Rebecca encountered poverty for the first time. Seeing a man without legs begging for money, she asked her father how much prosthetic legs would cost. When told $100, she wanted to help the man buy legs so he could support his family. This experience sparked her curiosity about helping others and finding solutions to problems.
At age 11, when her parents went through a tumultuous divorce, Rebecca took initiative to support her family financially. She approached her tennis instructor and asked to coach instead of attending tennis academy, earning $6.50 per hour. She also started tutoring to earn money.
Rebecca's early exposure to financial challenges and her proactive approach to earning money shaped her understanding of financial responsibility and work ethic from a young age.
 
Bio:
Rebecca Ahmed is an award-winning speaker, a business consultant, and an Energy Leadership IndexTM Master Practitioner (ELI-MP).

The importance of personalized, root-cause approaches to health and wellness. Each person's biochemistry is unique, and therefore, health solutions should be tailored accordingly. By understanding one's specific nutritional needs and addressing them through customized supplements and lifestyle changes, many chronic conditions can be significantly improved or even resolved, potentially offering a more effective alternative to conventional medication-based treatments.
 
Money Learnings:
Marc grew up in a family with a "country club lifestyle" and didn't lack for needs. His father ran a business, which embedded an entrepreneurial mindset in Marc. He sold snacks at little league games and later had a bagel delivery route on Sundays. As a teenager, he and his brother bought and sold baseball cards at shows.
His family faced significant financial difficulties when Marc was in his late teens due to his father's business sale and subsequent health issues. He witnessed a dramatic shift from a high-spending lifestyle to financial struggles over 4-5 years. This experience taught Marc important lessons about living within one's means, saving, investing, and managing a budget.
Unlike his parents, who didn't share much about investments or financial planning, Marc later adopted an open approach with his own children about money matters.
 
Bio:
Marc has led successful entrepreneurial ventures for over 25 years, highlighted by his acquisition and expansion of Village Green Apothecary, an industry-leading integrative and custom compounding pharmacy in Bethesda, MD. Since 2002, under Marc's leadership, Village Green has grown to offer an expansive suite of personalized health offerings, including a vast selection of high-quality nutritional supplements, tailored lab testing with a focus on customized precision nutrient formulations, and nutritional consultations. Marc’s passion for functional nutrition and wellness, coupled with Village Green’s focus on personalized health, has led to the launch of Humanized Health, an educational resource aimed at helping people get to the root causes of their health conditions.
Earlier in his career, Marc founded Glacier Ridge, an all-natural beverage company that was ahead of its time in recognizing the trends toward natural and organic products. After successfully growing and selling the venture, he spearheaded the U.S. expansion of Melitta Coffee.
Marc earned a BS in Business Management from Ithaca College and completed a three-year Executive Education Program at MIT. He has been an active member of the Entrepreneurs Organization for 30 years.
 
Highlights from this episode:
  • Personal experience with a daughter's seizures led to exploring personalized nutrition and brain chemistry testing.
  • Traditional healthcare often focuses on symptom management rather than addressing root causes.
  • Customized vitamin/mineral/amino acid formulas can help balance brain chemistry for many mental health issues.
  • Gut health and microbiome play a critical role in overall wellness.
  • Genetic and lifestyle factors create unique nutritional needs for each individual.
  • Early intervention is key for conditions like autism, but improvements can be made at any age.
  • Experimenting and exploring different interests is valuable for young people to find meaningful work.

The Spiritual Side of Money

 

Take away:
True wealth creation happens when you align your energy frequency with your desired financial goals. You must first feel and embody the mindset of the wealthy person you want to become. The key is to take inspired action from your abundant mindset. Start small if needed, but keep taking steps that reinforce your new wealthy identity, whether investing a little each month or having conversations as the wealthy person you envision.
 
Money Learnings:
Elizabeth spent a significant amount of time with her entrepreneurial grandfathers, who owned successful businesses like the world's largest electric cotton gin company. They exposed her to the business world and operations from a young age, taking her to their offices and showing her the machinery and equipment. One grandfather taught her the importance of saving money through his focus on investing in land and real estate. The other grandfather emphasized analyzing decisions financially by "putting pencil to it" and doing the calculations. This upbringing instilled a neutral, abundant mindset towards money in her from childhood, rather than feelings of scarcity or discomfort around finances.
 
Bio:
Elizabeth Ralph is a high-level wealth strategist and intuitive investor who retired at the age of 39 in order to teach others how to reach financial freedom through non-traditional ways. She is the founder of The Spiritual Investor and the host of The Spiritual Investor podcast, the place where entrepreneurs transform from unsure investors to effortless wealth creators. Formerly a financial executive and energy trader, Elizabeth shifted her focus entirely in 2012 while feeding Cheetos to a kangaroo on a beach in Australia. She realized that in order to fulfill her purpose of saving unwanted horses from slaughter she needed to break free from the confines of the corporate world. So right then and there, she decided to go “all-in” and set up a strategy to achieve financial freedom within 10 years. Since then Elizabeth has helped countless spiritual entrepreneurs to create their own strategies for financial freedom through The Spiritual Investor framework.
 
Highlights from this episode:
  • Combining spiritual practices with practical financial tools like investing accelerates wealth creation.
  • Awareness and conscious creation aligned with desires are key to manifesting financial goals effortlessly.
  • Overcoming scarcity mindset and embracing abundance frequency allows opportunities to flow.
  • Taking consistent action in the 3D world reinforces the new wealthy identity being created internally.
  • Finding your unique "why" behind wealth-building provides motivation beyond just accumulating money.
  • Investing enables buying yourself out of trading time for money and creates optionality for the life you want.

Integrating Life and Business in Harmony

 

Take away:
Shed any lingering victim mentality and wholeheartedly embrace that you alone have the power to architect the life you want through your effort, mindset, and choices. True freedom comes from this radical responsibility.
 
Money Learnings:
Daniel Brown didn't receive much education about money management, saving, or investing when he was growing up as a child. As the "golden child" and only child, life was very comfortable and money was readily available. However, this easy upbringing meant he didn't learn important lessons about preserving wealth, saving for the future, or the value of having a "rainy day" fund. It was only later in life, after facing some financial struggles himself in real estate, that he realized the importance of building an emergency fund, saving consistently, and having a long-term investing mindset from an early age.
 
Bio:
CEO of Brownstone in Austin. Brit by birth, American by choice, and a family man with a wonderful wife, 5 children, and 2 little grandkids. We're in the business of creating beautiful spec homes that prioritize design, quality and health. We're pushing to transform our current 15 homes into 50 plus per year, via our just launched $20m investment fund raise, in our aim to meet Austin's booming need for more and better living spaces. Beyond bricks and mortar, I'm all about personal growth and holistic health. I firmly believe with the right mindset and effort, almost anyone can excel at almost anything, and that true happiness and health is within our control. I dream of a future where everyone is moving ever closer to their ultimate potential.
 
Highlights from this episode:
  • Embrace discomfort and seek challenges to build resilience and a growth mindset. Stepping out of your comfort zone leads to personal development.
  • Emphasize whole-body health through a balanced focus on nutrition, exercise/movement, and mental/spiritual well-being. Neglecting any area leads to imbalance.
  • Prioritize real, unprocessed foods and stay away from ultra-processed "franken-foods" for optimal health. Start with simple diet changes.
  • Incorporate varied movement patterns like lifting, carrying, and throwing to mimic natural human movements for strength and mobility. Move beyond traditional gym exercises.
  • Explore the mind-body connection. Physical ailments may have roots in unresolved emotional trauma. Address the emotional component of healing.
  • Build and maintain strong community connections. Surrounding yourself with positive, growth-oriented individuals elevates your mindset.
  • Continually pursue knowledge through reading and applying insights. Knowledge alone is not power - applied knowledge leads to positive change.

How to Reclaim Your Freedom 

 

Take away:
By cultivating this inner sovereignty first, you can then show up in life with more resilience, creativity, focus, and charisma in whatever you do - be it work, relationships, or pursuing wealth and success. But the wealth ultimately has to start from valuing and caring for yourself from the inside first. That allows you to thrive from a grounded, empowered state, rather than constantly striving from anxiety or self-denial.
 
Money Learnings:
Discussions about money, wealth, or comparing financial situations were discouraged in her household when Dr. Emma Seppala was growing up.  Her parents discouraged her from talking about or thinking too much about other people's wealth or material possessions. Money was not a major topic of discussion or emphasis in her family during her childhood.
 
Bio:
Emma Seppälä, Ph.D., is a Yale professor, best-selling author of The Happiness Track, and research scientist who has researched the effects of meditation and breathing on happiness, anxiety, and trauma. She has a new book coming out by Hay House on April 24th titled Sovereign: Reclaim Your Freedom, Energy and Power in a Time of Distraction, Uncertainty and Chaos that is sure to become a bestseller.
 
Highlights from this episode:
  • Cultivating inner peace and sovereignty through practices like meditation, unplugging from technology, spending time in nature, and practicing gratitude is crucial for living an abundant life.
  • Developing a supportive, compassionate relationship with oneself, rather than constant self-criticism, leads to better mental health, cognitive abilities, relationships, and overall success.
  • Training the nervous system through breathing exercises can increase resilience and calmness in the face of stress and uncertainty.
  • True creativity and innovative thinking arise when the mind is in a relaxed, present state – not from constant busyness and device usage.
  • Multitasking is ineffective; being fully present and attentive, whether with ourselves or others, is a powerful charismatic quality.
  • Question societal narratives promoting chronic busyness, achievement obsession, and emotional suppression – these diminish energy and fulfillment.
  • Nurture an inner voice of authenticity from a young age, rather than blindly following prescribed norms about success and worth.

Crafting the Employee Experience 

 

Take away:
Developing an abundant mindset centered on gratitude for what you have, rather than lament what's lacking, is key to living a fulfilling life. Balancing business growth with personal fulfillment means defining your "why" and ideal lifestyle, not just chasing endless expansion. Prioritizing employee engagement through efforts like "stay interviews" and enabling people to do what they're passionate about leads to higher profitability and client satisfaction. And instilling financial literacy around passive income streams like real estate from an early age can set a strong foundation for long-term wealth creation.
 
Money Learnings:
Kent's parents had purchased a 10-unit apartment building before he was born. While they had modest incomes from their jobs, the rental income and equity buildup from the apartment building provided an additional stream of income and financial security. This taught Kent the value of real estate investments for generating passive income.
His parents taught him not to rely on Social Security for retirement income, as it may not exist by the time he retires. They emphasized that he would need to create his own wealth and fund his own retirement through savings and investments.
His uncle's example of buying his first apartment building while in college, and dressing professionally because successful real estate investors dressed that way, also influenced Kent's view of real estate as a path to building wealth from an early age.
 
Bio:
Kent Lewis founder of pdxMindShare, an online career community and networking group mentioned on Seth Godin’s blog. Formerly a CMO and founder or co-founder of multiple agencies, he’s known as a thought leader in digital marketing. He’s been an adjunct professor for more than 20 years at Portland State University and a volunteer instructor for SCORE. Lewis co-founded SEMpdx in 2006, a trade organization for search engine marketing professionals. His recognition includes Marketer of the Year by the American Marketing Association and Top 100 Digital Marketing Influencers by BuzzSumo.
 
Highlights from this episode:
  • Building passive income streams through real estate investments as a way to achieve financial independence.
  • Balancing personal fulfillment with business growth - finding the right size and structure that aligns with your values and desired lifestyle.
  • Prioritizing employee engagement and satisfaction as a key driver of profitability and client retention.
  • Conducting "stay interviews" to understand what motivates employees and how to improve their experience.
  • Defining your "why" and living life on your own terms, rather than chasing other people's definitions of success.
  • Cultivating an attitude of gratitude and focusing on what you have, rather than what you lack, to live an abundant life.

Reprogram Your Brain

 

Take away:
Recognizing that our childhood experiences, both positive and negative, shape our biology in profound ways. Creating a safe, nurturing environment for kids is vital for their future well-being. And for adults, healing unresolved traumas from the past may be the key to unlocking better physical and mental health.
 
Money Learnings:
Dr. Don Wood had an "idyllic childhood" with very nurturing parents who never yelled, screamed, or hit him and his siblings. This provided a safe, calm home environment. His father was financially disciplined and taught them how to save money, despite not being wealthy himself. By age 19, Dr. Wood says he had $30,000 saved in the bank.
 
His parents passed down values like financial discipline, saving diligently, avoiding wastefulness, and maintaining sufficiency - likely shaped by their own experiences growing up in challenging times. Their nurturing parenting style coupled with modeling provident financial behaviors laid a foundation for Dr. Wood's positive relationship with money from a young age.
 
Bio:
Don Wood, PhD, author, speaker, Founder & CEO of the Inspired Performance Institute, and creator of the patented TIPP method focused on helping people resolve their trauma and get their lives to a place of high performance. 
 
He has helped 1000’s of people live a better life and overcome the effects of stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction with his neuroscience-backed program, TIPP.
 
TIPP program is designed to clear away the effects of disturbing or traumatic events, repurpose old thinking patterns and set the individual’s mind up for peak performance. 
 
Dr. Wood is also author of two books, Emotional Concussions and You Must Be Out of your Mind and is releasing his newest book Don’t Mess With My DNA in near future.
 
Highlights from this episode:
  • Unresolved childhood trauma can lead to inflammation, a compromised immune system, and various mental/physical health issues like autoimmune disorders, addictions, anxiety, and depression.
  • Our early childhood environments and how we were parented shape how our DNA gets expressed - creating either resilient biology or increased disease susceptibility.
  • Addictive behaviors are the mind's way of coping with emotional pain by creating neurological "codes" that provide temporary relief.
  • Traumatic memories get stored in vivid high-definition, keeping the nervous system in a perpetual state of activation as if the threat is still present.
  • A calm, safe, and nurturing home environment is crucial for children to develop properly regulated nervous systems and healthy mind-body connections.
  • Emotions like fear and anger signal the subconscious trying to provoke a protective action, but get dysregulated when sourced from past traumatic memories.
  • An innovative 4-hour program can "reset" high-definition traumatic memories, allowing the mind and body's natural healing capabilities to restore balance.

Living a Resolved Life

 

Take away:
Creating an ecosystem that allows people's natural talents and tendencies to emerge, rather than forcing predetermined roles, enables harmonious teams and businesses that can thrive.
 
Money Learnings:
Anand grew up in a small industrial town in southern India where the match stick and firecracker industry thrived. Though money was not explicitly discussed at home or in school, he could see the impacts and importance of economics all around him from a young age. Anand imbibed principles like saving, living within means, respecting the value of money, and receiving it graciously from elders through his childhood observations and experiences in that industrial town environment.
 
Bio:
 
Existential Realist & Spiritualist, Technology Integration expert, IT Business Services, Writer, Speaker & Philosopher.
 
Anand Damani's life embodies the model of a perfectly happy human being. He revels in the present and collaborates harmoniously with others to foster global happiness. This approach is rooted in his deep understanding of the absolute truth as imparted by Nature to Shri A.A Nagarajji.
 
Damani believes that true knowledge is that which is practiced; the rest, he considers merely academic jargon. He lives out this knowledge every moment, existing in bliss and harmony with himself, with other human beings, and with Nature.
 
Highlights from this episode:
  • Aligning your thoughts, actions, and purpose is key to living a resolved and harmonious life without internal conflicts or delusions.
  • The true essence of yoga goes far beyond physical exercise - it's a systematic path to understand life's deeper realities and find inner peace.
  • Create an ecosystem that allows people's natural talents and tendencies to emerge, rather than forcing roles - this enables harmonious teams and businesses.
  • An abundant mindset recognizes that nature can fulfill all our true needs if we align ourselves properly.
  • Being openly grateful for others and accepting people as they are, instead of trying to change them, brings more peace.
  • Advise for youth: Remain open-minded and receptive to life's lessons instead of forming rigid beliefs early on.

Human Life Value 

 

Take away:
The importance of doing deep inner work to uncover and let go of limiting beliefs and childhood traumas that may be unconsciously shaping our perspectives, actions, and ability to trust ourselves and others as adults.
 
Money Learnings:
Michael Isom started working at a local motorcycle dealership when he was in 7th grade, earning $2.25 an hour. He used the money he earned to pay for things he wanted like clothes for school, motorcycle parts, and dating expenses.
In his senior year of high school, he paid his mom $100 per month in rent to help out the family. Michael attributes learning the value of money from his ability to earn it himself and spend it as he wished from a young age. He emphasizes that there is no substitute for allowing kids to earn and spend money themselves to truly understand its value. This was a key financial lesson he learned growing up and something he practiced with his own children as well.
 
Bio:
Michael Isom has dedicated his life to empowering conversations around production and protection. He passionately believes that we are living during the most extraordinary time in human history. Entrepreneurs are going to create more wealth for themselves and society over the next decade than we did during the entire 20th century.
Michael built the financial firm Vault AIS for you to understand and leverage the principles underlying these economic forces at play.
Co-Author of What Would The Rockefellers Do, Michael speaks across the country inspiring business owners and professionals on The AIS Triangle. A unique system to pay less in tax, safeguard money, access that money along the way, earn interest versus paying it, ensuring money survives from one generation to the other and simplifying personal finance.
 
Highlights from this episode:
  • The importance of allowing children to earn and spend their own money to truly learn the value of a dollar.
  • Examining the human life value balance sheet - identifying assets like knowledge, relationships, and values versus liabilities like limiting beliefs and negativity.
  • The transformative power of doing deep inner work to uncover childhood traumas and stories that shape our perspectives and actions as adults.
  • Finding clarity on our true wants and needs through practices like journaling, meditation, and self-reflection.
  • Considering our careers/businesses as our #1 investment where we should take risks and maintain passion, rather than gambling in areas outside our expertise.
  • Fulfilling the higher human needs of growth and contribution as a path to true significance.
  • Cultivating trust in oneself and gaining diverse experiences, especially in youth, to discover one's area of passion and expertise.

You're Not Broken

 

Take away:
Your past does not define your future. You can create the life you want without having to "fix" yourself, and that true abundance comes from recognizing the richness that already exists in your present circumstances.
 
Money Learnings:
Growing up in New Zealand, Chris didn't receive much education about money management. The common mindset was to trade time for money, with the belief that you could never have enough. His understanding of money was focused on getting a good job, working hard, and trying to get paid as much as possible. It wasn't until Chris was around 11 years old that he witnessed a family friend buy a nightclub, which was the first business owner he knew personally. This event opened his eyes to the possibility of starting a business and doing something different. However, Chris grew up in a more socialist society where the focus was on ensuring the "little guy" didn't get left behind, rather than encouraging entrepreneurship and wealth creation. This created a challenging environment for developing a business mindset.
 
Bio:
Chris Duncan is a New York Times best-selling author, investor, and entrepreneur. Having built two 8- figure companies, and selling one, Chris is now focused on his third multi-million dollar endeavor.
A pioneer of the superconscious movement, with over 30,000 students each year undergoing the recode process, Chris was also featured in the 2019 documentary ‘We Rise Up’, along with the likes of Tony Robbins and the 14th Dalai Lam.
 
Highlights from this episode:
  • Understand that the past does not define your future - let go of limiting beliefs and create a new path forward.
  • Discover your "super consciousness" - access your higher intelligence and genius to create without limitations.
  • Define what a "good life" means to you, not based on societal or family expectations.
  • Implement the "Profit First" system to ensure your business is generating adequate profits.
  • Entrepreneurship is a journey of developing key skills - focus on mastering each step rather than getting discouraged.
  • Financial freedom allows you to design your ideal lifestyle, but fulfillment comes from purpose, not just wealth.
  • Abundance is a mindset - recognize how much you already have rather than constantly chasing more.

How to Master Your Financial Psychology

 

Take away:
Developing an internal locus of control, where you take responsibility for your financial outcomes instead of blaming external factors, is a powerful mindset that can lead to significantly improved financial behaviors and outcomes.
 
Money Learnings:
Brad grew up in a lower-income family, with his parents divorcing when he was young. Both sets of grandparents lived in trailer parks, so he was very aware of the challenges and limitations of being poor. This drove Brad to want to figure out how to not experience the same financial struggles as his family. He developed an intense interest in understanding the psychology behind why "reasonably intelligent people do something so stupid" with their money. Brad credits this early curiosity and drive to understand money as the foundation for his later career path in financial psychology and his mission to help people improve their financial behaviors and mindsets.
 
Bio:
Bradley T. Klontz, Psy.D., CFP® is an expert in financial psychology, behavioral finance, and financial planning. He is a Managing Principal of YMW Advisors, an Associate Professor of Practice at Creighton University Heider College of Business, and a founder of the Financial Psychology Institute®.
 
Dr. Klontz has written eight books on the psychology of money and his work has been featured on ABC News' 20/20, Good Morning America, and in USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, New York Times and many more.
 
Highlights from this episode:
  • The importance of understanding your family's relationship with money and how it shapes your own beliefs and behaviors around money.
  • The concept of "money avoidance" - the belief that rich people are greedy and money is corrupting, which can lead to self-sabotaging financial behaviors.
  • The danger of the "money focus" or "money worship" mindset, where material possessions are equated with happiness, leading to unhealthy outcomes.
  • The power of automating savings and creating a clear vision for your financial future, rather than just focusing on the present moment.
  • The importance of finding purpose and meaning beyond just accumulating wealth, and the potential pitfalls of having too much free time.
  • The idea that "retirement is for dead people" and the value of continually working towards new goals, even after achieving financial freedom.
  • The emphasis on developing an internal locus of control, where you take responsibility for your financial outcomes rather than blaming external factors.

Scaling Up

 

Take away:
Putting the right people systems and processes in place is critical for reducing the burden on the business owner, improving profitability, and allowing the business to run more smoothly and successfully. Implementing these structured people management practices is key to achieving sustainable growth.
 
Money Learnings:
Corwin's early childhood was marked by financial abundance - his father was very successful in agricultural sales and lived a lavish lifestyle with private planes, a car collection, and more. However, when his father's company was sold and he lost his job, the family then went through periods of extreme "famine or feast" as his father's subsequent business ventures failed. Corwin's mother worked full-time in low-paying jobs, but her income was not enough to provide financial stability for the family. This upbringing of oscillating between wealth and scarcity instilled in Corwin the perspective that money is hard to come by and that financial situations can drastically change, despite his father's entrepreneurial efforts. It taught him that money has an inherent insecurity and unpredictability to it.
 
Bio:
Corwin J. Smith is a Valuation Growth Coach, certified in Scaling Up/The Rockefeller Habits by Verne Harnish since 2016. He possesses expertise in diverse methodologies including Spiral Dynamics, 5 Behaviors of a Cohesive Team, and Metronomics. Currently, Corwin specializes in aiding companies across sectors like medicine, professional services, cannabis, and manufacturing, with a focused effort in recent years on blue-collar industries and trades. His clients typically achieve substantial results, including a 40% reduction in management time, doubling of net profit, and a 500-800% increase in business valuation. Corwin's entrepreneurial journey began at the WP Carey Business School, where he founded a Fire & Water Damage restoration company, rapidly growing it to 45 employees in less than four years. Prior to this venture, he made significant strides in medical sales for a local diagnostic imaging firm, setting records in new patient and doctor acquisition. His tenure at Rocky Mountain Restoration was marked by high praise and media coverage in the Arizona Republic and Success Magazine, reflecting the impactful culture and work of the organization. On a personal front, Corwin is deeply invested in his family life, alongside his wife, dedicating themselves to raising their four sons to be productive and fulfilled members of society. An avid outdoorsman, Smith relishes mountain biking, hiking, and hunting in the wilderness of Arizona. He is also a devoted supporter of his children's sporting activities. Further extending his commitment to the community, Corwin offers his expertise through unpaid mentorship to upcoming business owners in the local Entrepreneur's Organization chapter.
 
Highlights from this episode:
  • The importance of having a clear vision, mission, and values for your business that align with your life purpose and goals.
  • Strategies for reducing the time required to manage the day-to-day operations of your business, such as implementing structured meeting rhythms and delegating tasks you don't enjoy.
  • The value of proper hiring practices, including assessing candidates for cultural fit, skill set match, and motivational drivers using behavior assessments.
  • Techniques for improving profitability, such as implementing a salary cap based on profit targets and addressing underperforming team members.
  • The benefits of creating a comprehensive life plan that harmonizes your personal goals across relationships, health, spirituality, and business.
  • The importance of decisiveness and taking action, rather than getting stuck in analysis paralysis when making tough business decisions.
  • Wisdom for younger entrepreneurs on following their passion and unraveling the programming and fears instilled by parents/upbringing.

The Science of Awakening Your Non-Self

 

Take away:
To embark on a journey of personal growth by continually questioning, learning, and striving to see beyond the surface-level illusions that constrain so many people's perceptions of what is possible.
 
Money Learnings:
Clement Decrop grew up where money came in the form of a reward  system for doing well in school. His parents would give him 1 dollar to 5 dollars based on his grades on his report card - 5 dollars for an A, 4 dollars for a B, etc. Even though it wasn't a lot of money, it was motivating for him as a kid, as he could save up and buy things like $40 video games back then. This reward system taught him to value money from a young age and incentivized him to perform well academically.
 
Bio:
Clement Decrop is a master inventor with 50+ patents filed, public speaker, and author of "The Idea Space: Awakening Your Non-Self"
 
Highlights from this episode:
  • Exploring the concept of an "idea space" - a mental model for understanding the mind based on physics and general relativity.
  • The importance of mindfulness practices like meditation and focusing on the breath to cultivate presence and gratitude.
  • Strategies for letting go of attachments and reducing the intensity of negative emotions.
  • The value of reading widely and exposing yourself to different perspectives to challenge your perception of reality.
  • Techniques like negative visualization and "last time" meditation from Stoic philosophy to build resilience.
  • Raising children with the right balance of struggle and support to instill grit and wisdom.
  • Reframing societal norms and systems as "veils of illusion" can blind us from deeper truths about existence.

Making the Ultimate Investment

 

Take away:
The importance of developing a mindset of abundance, differentiation, and gratitude, while consistently investing in personal growth, in order to design a passionate and purposeful life aligned with their values and ability to build generational wealth.
 
Money Learnings:
Mark's father had a heart attack when Mark was in high school, which severely impacted the family's finances. He realized his parents lived paycheck-to-paycheck, trying to "keep up with the Joneses" and not saving much money. When his father's career ended due to a heart attack, their money dried up quickly. This experience taught Mark that his parents had poor money values, and he wanted to ensure he never ended up in that type of uncertain financial situation himself or put his own future kids through that.

He helps entrepreneurs achieve multigenerational wealth through personalized strategies, leveraging his strategic planning and financial engineering expertise.

  • Practice gratitude consistently, as it has the power to eliminate fear and foster a positive outlook on life.
  • Invest in your personal growth and development as the ultimate investment for long-term success.
  • Prioritize building cash reserves to weather storms, seize opportunities, and maintain financial confidence.

How to Succeed When Everyone Expects You to Fail
 
 
Take away:
Challenges early on, while difficult, can be the fire that forges your inner strength. If you believe in yourself and your abilities, you can exceed other's low expectations. Never let your humble beginnings limit your ambition. Turn adversity into advantage.
 
Money Learnings:
Jonathan's childhood was challenging financially and he felt deprived compared to his wealthy peers. He didn't receive any substantive money education as a child and had to figure it out himself later through entrepreneurial trial and error. This gave him motivation to build his own success.
 
Bio: 
Serial entrepreneur Jonathan Beskin built his first company, a women’s lifestyle subscription box, from a pre-revenue idea to over $60 million in revenue in under five years. An investor in multiple private companies and startups, he has twice been featured in the prestigious Inc. 5000 list. Beskin is a digital advertising and e-commerce expert; he often speaks at conferences and academic institutions. He holds an MBA in finance from Florida Atlantic University.
 
Highlights from this episode:
  • It's vital to keep pivoting in business - be flexible, and keep learning and adapting as things change. Nothing lasts forever.
  • When starting a business, do as much yourself initially to really understand it before bringing in others. This allows you to better evaluate outside help.
  • Having a healthy obsession, and always keeping your brain occupied on positive, beneficial activities can lead to an abundant life. Idle time can lead to negativity.
  • Don't make decisions based on what others think - trust your own judgment. Listen to yourself.
  • Be willing to put yourself out there and be vulnerable - you never know what opportunities it can create when you open up.
  • The choice is yours daily - take action or just consume. Turn off the TV and get to work on your dreams.
