Connection is defined as a relationship in which a person or thing is linked or associated with something else. It is interesting that nowhere in that definition does it say anything about the connection to ourselves We have never been more connected to everything that is outside of us than we are now, but we have also never been more disconnected from ourselves. George and Joey explore the reasons why the connection to the outside world is so important to us right now, but also on how a deep focus on that has left us more disconnected from our true selves more than ever. 

Imagine a world defined by kindness. What would that be like? How deeply would that resonate with you? In today's global society, we are bombarded daily with news cycle stories of war, racism, sexism, and the rest of the problems driven by fear and division. George and Joey explore the depth, and transformative power of kindness and discuss the international initiative that The World Kindness Movement has undertaken with Kindness Matters, forging an alliance with UNESCO_MGIEP to collect 1 million kindness stories, given, received or observed.  Why does kindness have the stigma of weakness for so many corporations? Why is selflessness glamourised, making kindness unsustainable? We delve into many aspects of how the wisdom and power of kindness is being misunderstood and missed.  We also want your personal stories. In this form, please submit your story of kindness and lets spread the message around the world how acts of kindness actualise our higher purpose here and now.  https://internationalkindnessday.org/

2020 has been a year for epic events and compelling reasons for overdue change. Even Hollywood appears forced to confront its demons.  Why did model, actress, producer and documentarist Ana Lucia Alves, refuse the invitation to trade her dignity for special favours to further her artistic career in Hollywood? Ana was born in Brazil but lived most of her life in Europe. She studied architecture and computer engineering before entering the Fashion world and the Film industry. She became the first Brazilian model to appear in the cover of an international magazine, spending many years as a supermodel working around the world at the top of her profession. Her next stop was Hollywood.  Why was Harvey Weinstein's invitation to his apartment was not appealing to Ana, given her Hollywood career opportunities would have been guaranteed? Why are some artists in Hollywood too powerful to be influenced by the dark side? Why do many artists need Hollywood to succeed and why does Hollywood need the great artists to succeed? What makes an artist flow and create the great works that inspires the masses? The future of creating film that inspires and dignifies humanity.  The exciting development that has set Cinderella's Secrets on the path of becoming a feature film thanks to collaborating with Ana and her film production company.   Why do children lose their creativity and why is it so important to protect their imagination and why helping adults reclaim their creativity is so vital to their purpose in life? And so much more!  Website - https://yogamayafilms.com IMDb - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1108296/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/AnaLuciaAlves_ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/analuciaalves.official/ FB https://www.facebook.com/analuciaalves111/ https://www.amazon.com/Cinderellas-Secrets-Untold-Story-Ella/dp/ Cinderella's Secrets (Audible) - https://www.amazon.com/Cinderellas-Secrets-Untold-Story-Ella-ebook/dp/B019D90A7G/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Cinderella%27s+Secrets+George+Helou&qid=1592095554&sr=8-1 Cinderella's Secrets (Apple) - https://www.audiobooks.com/audiobook/cinderellas-secrets/306472 Hollywood Track - https://music.apple.com/au/album/hollywood-feat-q-york-single/934735960 https://open.spotify.com/album/5fSJiUn6Uxx2L0AFlMjd1c?html5

Are you worried about our economy? Are you concerned that lockdown is going on for too long and damaging our economy or are you worried about family members contracting COVID-19? Today, we covered some interesting topics on the current status and events surrounding the COVID-19 global pandemic. Dr Joe shares some of the numbers and issues with the statistics. From the faulty tests to death classifications that are inflating the numbers.  We discuss the media hype and touch on some of the motivations. Is the political interference of keeping the economy severely constricted going to cause more deaths including an extra 1500 suicides in one year? We also covered the likelihood of a vaccine, its issues and what medications are on the horizon that may have merit, including Hydroxychloroquine. I asked then asked Dr Joe, what we would he do if he or one of his family members contracted COVID-19?

This podcast was remote because as we all know self isolation is the new way to live for the next month or 2 or who knows!  There is so much confusing information out there, from many conspiracies who seem to be trying to outdo each other for how shocking they can be. What does the government know that they fear telling us because they want to avoid panic? One thing seems obvious - this virus is scaring a lot of people including medical staff of some cities in some countries like Italy, Spain and parts of the US. Are empty hospitals in the US and Australia to name a few simply the calm before the storm? Stay safe everyone and I hope you like this update with Dr Joe, I know I did! 

This virus is very viral. I discuss with Dr Joe Kosterich the latest news in this global pandemic and whether we are doing enough or even too much in some cases.  We explore the impact of stress and how it can make the situation much worse.  Please note there is an unfortunate faint metronome sound in the background. You are likely to stop noticing it as you listen to the conversation. Please share your insights with us on the EP7 Facebook Page.   

Our world has entered into turmoil with many in a panic. The media is in a sensational frenzy and governments are being pressured daily into shutting down access to sporting events, concerts and access to their countries and who we wonder what is next. Cash is crap and toilet paper is the new gold and new issues are being created that are making things worse. I discuss the COVID-19 with special guest Dr Joe Kosterich and ask questions that people have expressed they would like answers to that include: -  - What can we do to minimise contracting the virus? - What should I do if I contract the virus? - Can we stop the virus and if not, what how are we doing to deal with it spreading further? Important Note:  The content of this podcast is only relevant from the information made available to date up to March 13, 2020.
