The Truth Prescription

Good people, In today's episode, I'm joined by the CEO and founder of The Practicing Mind Institute, author, podcaster, and mindset maven, Thomas Sterner. As a teenager, Thomas was very creative. Yet, he lacked discipline, so once the initial enthusiasm for starting something new dissipated, he would look for something else, leaving that initial project unfinished. It took him some time, but he realized he was reacting to behaviors installed in his subconscious mind.Thomas' truth was to realize he was the producer of his thoughts, not his thoughts. This revelation, rarely seen in teenagers, helped Thomas become an observer of his thoughts and gave him an advantage in his personal and professional life. Eventually, he became an expert in Present Moment Functioning, which allowed him to bring clarity to thousands of people, including CEOs, elite athletes, and high-performing individuals.Throughout our conversation, Thomas shares how his early awakening helped him become an observer of his thoughts and his experiences sharing this knowledge with teenagers and peers. You'll also hear about the heart and mind connection, how meditation can help you become aware of your thoughts, why Thomas believes we can find many answers in the quantum theory, and more.In This Episode, You Will Learn:A bit about Thomas' background and his truth (2:43)How Thomas' life changed when he became aware he and his thoughts are two separate things (6:08)Thomas talks about his inspiration for writing his books (9:13)"It's just a thought."

Good People,Today, I'm joined by the Movement Master, Author, and Recovery Advocate, Steven Washington.

Steven's truth is to realize he is enough, that he has always been, and once he fully embraced that idea, he experienced a massive breakthrough and a profound transformation.

Although he firmly believes that we should put ourselves at the service of others as much as possible, we must also pay attention to our needs and self-care.

She recently published "This or Something Better: A Memoir of Resilience," a book inspired by Elisa's reaction to the big Sonoma Complex fire in 2017, which is strongly connected with her truth. Elisa's truth is to realize at age 5 that her life was in her own hands. Abused by her step-grandfather, Elisa soon realized although there were a lot of people around to help, and she needed all of them, no one knew what she knew, and therefore, no one was going to help. Throughout our conversation, we explore Elisa's past and the moments that marked her destiny. We learn about how she transformed rage into joy, the loss of her first baby, and her drug abuse problems. We also touch on Elisa's remarkable resilience, embracing transparency and permeability, two characteristics any abuse victim would struggle to be in touch with.

Dear People,Today I'm joined is Dr. Steven Taylor, Ph.D., prolific Author, Podcast Host, and Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Leeds Beckett University.

In his latest "Extraordinary Awakenings," Dr. Steven shares dozens of stories from people who experienced a profound transformation, an awakening, after suffering trauma. Dr. Steven's truth is about acceptance, as in identifying when there is no option but to accept reality, learn to be in peace with it, and stop resisting. Our conversation revolves around Dr. Steven's discovery that after he faced his health issue and stopped running from it, the pain wasn't really that bad, and the suffering was more in what he thought he would feel than what he actually felt.

Dr. Stevens explained why he believes that not everyone who has traumatic experiences grows, and he shared the three steps to change trauma into truth.

Dear People,Joining me today is the extraordinary Mark Anthony, JD Psychic Explorer, Oxford-educated Attorney, Best-selling Author, and Radio Co-Host of "The Psychic & The Doc" on Transformation Network. Mark is a world-renowned fourth-generation psychic who can communicate with spirits; he studied Mediumship at the prestigious Arthur Findlay College for the Advancement of Psychic Science in England. As Mark put it, his aha moment in life wasn't a subtle message from the universe; it was a firehose directed to his face. No longer after his mother passed, he saw her seated next to him in his car, kindly looking at him and using her voice to talk directly into Mark's mind. His truth was to embrace he had a different calling than what he got he had. Throughout this episode, our conversation revolves around Mark's gift, and as he remembers talking with spirits at three years old, how it was for him to deal with it in his early childhood. We also talk about Mark's parents, both psychics, their different reactions the moment they knew he was gifted too, and how they helped him navigate his Mediumship. We explored Mark's job as JD Psychic Explorer, and he explained how (surprisingly) often paranormal activities and the legal system intersect in the practice of law.

Good people,Today's episode is part two of my conversation with the musician, producer, and author Ahmir Khalib Thompson, Questlove. In this second part of the interview, we dive deep into the four tropes in which Black artists are automatically put when they emerge in the show business. We also talked about self-confidence and Ahmir's old mentality of not believing his music or any artistic piece produced by him was good enough. Ahmir also shared an amusing story about the origin of his artistic name, and he brilliantly answered the yes or BS quest. Before the end, he shared some priceless insights about music and the show business. In This Episode, You Will Learn:"You are brilliant; that is unexpected."

Good people,Today I'm joined by Ahmir Khalib Thompson, also known as Questlove. He is an accomplished musician, producer, and author. Ahmir is the drummer of the Grammy Award-winning band The Roots. Since 2014, The Roots have been serving as the in-house band for The Tonight Show. In addition, he produced records for Elvis Costello, Jaz-Z, Amy Whinehouse, and John Legend, among many others. Ahmir's truth is about living with lymphedema, but more specifically, how he decided to deal with the condition from the beginning. Coming from a family where people wouldn't go to the hospital unless they were about to die certainly contributed to Ahmir's decision of keeping his condition a secret, hidden in plain sight, wearing baggy clothes even after losing a considerable amount of weight. In this first part of the interview, Ahmir, using his flawless storyteller abilities, takes us through his journey of how his life suddenly changed one morning and how he decided to deal with it. We had a fantastic conversation about acceptance and how often creative and gifted people commit self-sabotage. He kindly shared his experiences as a producer, and he also talked about his directorial debut.

Good People,Today, I had a fantastic conversation with Wendy De Rosa; she is an international intuitive energy healer, the School of Intuitive Studies founder, speaker, teacher, and author. Wendy's truth is the discovery of a gift after thinking there was something wrong with her. Although she was very sensitive since she was a child, it never occurred to Wendy that she had healing abilities. Being the older of 8 siblings, Wendy had to work to help her family since she was 12. She didn't have the language to decipher her experiences as the intuitive, sensitive child she was throughout her childhood, so she ended up internalizing a lot of shame and blame. At age 19, Wendy suffered a mental breakdown; she simply couldn't deal anymore with the overwhelm and the heavy responsibilities she was exposed to. After an interview with a healing teacher who identified her talent, she understood she wasn't a hot mess; she only needed to explore and nurture her gifts as an emphatic healer. We had a great conversation about Wendy's journey, divine interventions, bypassing the rational mind through energy, what it is like to be an empath, and guided meditation. Wendy kindly talked about the seven chakras; she explained the differences between them and where they are situated in our bodies. At the end of this episode, Wendy guides us through a delightful grounding exercise. Some Questions I Ask:I'd like you to share a truth, something that you either were ignoring or maybe you just weren't aware that once you experienced it created some breakthrough for you in your life. (4:12)Could you talk a bit about how someone can know if they are, in fact, an empath? (21:29)Could you go through each chakra and talk a bit about what they represent? (26:26)In This Episode, You Will Learn:A pivotal moment in Wendy's life.

Good people, Today I'm joined by Bianca M. Forde, Former Federal Prosecutor, Author, Global Ethics & Compliance Executive, Litigator, and Trial Attorney. Bianca's truth is about stigma. She realized that the surest way to maintain inequity and any other injustice is to stop people from talking about it, which is achieved through stigmatization. After a racially motivated arrest, Bianca wrote her book "Prosecuted Prosecutor," a compelling memoir and call-to-action. Her book is an accurate analysis of how prosecutors can fulfill their mandates as law servants, tackling taboo subjects prosecutors can discuss, but for some reason, they don't. We talked about how stigmatization of black people, the preventive rather than reactive policies the justice system should adopt, and how she transformed pain into power throughout her arrest. Bianca also emphasized how speaking on behalf of other women suffering from domestic violence helped her stand for herself and find her own voice and authenticity. Some Questions I Ask: I'd like you to tell the listeners something about your personal or professional life that you were ignoring, and once you accepted it, you had a significant breakthrough (4:18)In your opinion, where does the legal system work, and where does it fall short? (9:42)What would you do differently? If anything, if you were stopped by the police in a similar situation today?

Good people, Today I'm joined by Farryn Weiner, an award-winning branding and marketing leader, a podcast host, and founder at FARRYNHEIGHT.Farryn's truth actually started as a lie. As she struggled a lot with math in school, she convinced herself she was terrible at math, and because of that, she'll never be able to create a successful company. Some inner work and time later, Farryn managed to deal with her fears and discovered that she is pretty decent at math and capable of starting an incredibly successful company. We talked about her journey into becoming a successful leader, the differences between marketing and branding, and storytelling. Farryn kindly spoke about her relationship with fear and what essentialism means to her. Some Questions I Ask:Tell us something in your personal or professional life where there was a truth that created a significant breakthrough for you once you accepted it (5:01)Could you share a bit of your relationship with fear and how you manage it?

From how to dress and talk properly to manage their finances, Chris' idea is to be who he needs to be.

Good people, Today I'm joined by Chris Hope, National Collegiate champion with Florida State University, Super Bowl champion with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and author of the book P.R.O.S.

We had a fantastic conversation about success and fame, what happens after we reach them, and the pressure of being the family's savior.

Good people,Today, I'm joined by Katie Duke, nurse practitioner, mentor, creator, motivational speaker, and host of the top-rated Bad Decisions Podcast. She has a BS in Nursing from City University in New York Hunter College and a Masters of Science in Nursing from Columbia University in the City of New York.In her role as a social media leader, Katie uses her experience to offer guidance on how to turn bad decisions into part of a successful story. Katie's truth is about value. She realized that being in abusive relationships, whether in her personal life or at work, is the product of her not valuing herself. Katie understood that how we show up is what we attract and that if we find ourselves in abusive environments often, it is because we feel our value is low and that treatment is what we deserve. Some Questions I Ask:In terms of your trajectory in the next five years, what do you want to accomplish? And what's holding you back? (6:53)What stops you from going in there tomorrow and resigning from your nursing position at the hospital? (11:16)Let me ask you this, throughout the relationship, did you feel valued?

Good people,Joining me today is Lydia Lee, career change coach and meaningful work advocate. She guides corporate employees transitioning from a 9 to 5 job to a business they love, based on their strengths, values, and personality. Originally from Malaysia, Lydia and her parents moved to Canada, looking for a brighter financial future. She grew up in Vancouver, where she was very successful in the corporate world; Lydia worked as a business developing manager, project sales coordinator, marketing specialist, and the list goes on. After suffering a burnout during a business trip that ended with her flying on an emergency flight back home, Lydia started thinking about meaning and purpose in life. Lydia's truth is about realizing there is no connection between success and overworking herself. Being a humble family in a foreign country, Lydia's parents planted on her the seed of working twice as hard to be considered worthy of an opportunity. That mandate of overproducing led Lydia into a path of exhaustion, including long years of work without a single vacation break that made her reconsider her life choices and eventually inspired her "Screw the cubicle" idea. Some Questions I Ask:Tell my listeners something either in your personal, professional life where you had a breakthrough after accepting something real about yourself. (4:43)You gave me three truths here. Listen to your body. Don't follow a script or somebody else's script for your life. And then, success is not overworking. Tell me which one you feel is the most prominent. (11:49)Did you decide to move to Bali as part of a plan to live in a country that allows you more financial flexibility? Do you recommend that to clients? Put yourself up financially first, and then figure the next move? (13:00)If you were to choose a movie theme that identifies your process of helping people transition from corporate to out of the cubicle into the entrepreneur partnership, what would that theme be? (29:03)In This Episode, You Will Learn:We can't separate personal from working life (5:05)Where following someone else's path can take us (10:05)You can get out of the cubicle; still, the cubicle might follow you (12:21)Waiting for the right moment could take forever (15:47)The difference between bringing the goal with us and going after it (23:40)Reinvention happens more than once in a lifetime (29:09)Yes or BS:The cubicle is a safe space (35:12)Pineapples are the best fruit to eat with meat (37:53)All business can be location independent (38:37)Freedom is not a destination (40:01)Talents and gifts are the same (40:57)Lydia Lee is going to run out and get the COVID-19 vaccine (43:39)Resources:Screw the Cubicle websiteConnect with Lydia:LinkedInYouTubeInstagram See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Good people, Joining me today is Will Castro, car customizer to the stars, reality TV star, and author of the bestseller book, Unique Hustle. Will customized cars for celebrities like LeBron James, Pamela Anderson, Busta Rhymes, Bernard Hopkins, Carmelo Anthony, and the list goes on. Son of a single mom, Will grew up in Lower East Side Manhattan, a neighborhood where fancy boutiques alternate with dusty streets, bars, and Public Housing Projects buildings, where he sold newspapers as a kid. He got his first A-list client thanks to one of his brothers who happened to be friends with the rapper Erick Sermon. After Sermon showed up in his customized Lexus 300E at a concert at the Apollo Theater, every person wanted to know who was responsible for such a customization masterpiece. Will's truth is related to having too many "yes-man" around him and that his arrogance and brashness was both a curse and a blessing. When he started succeeding in business, he thought that the best thing to do was to have his friends close because he knew they will have his back and never let him down. But certain situations require a no as an answer, or a harsh word, that a friend might lack. That lack of limits led Will to almost go to prison for tax issues. Some Questions I Ask:Could you tell listeners a story about a truth that you either ignored or you weren't aware of, and once you accepted it, you had a full breakthrough? (5:47)Can you tell me a story about the yes-men, where a yes should have been a no? (11:49)How do you approach customers in general and how it's changed over the years? (13:18)How do you think that interactions between the creative and the technician go together in your business? (23:28)Creatives, artists, entrepreneurs, everybody has to understand basic business principles. How has it changed over the years? And what's the biggest lesson you learned? (27:24)In This Episode, You Will Learn:The result of having too many yes-men around (5:56)The cost of not having enough educated minorities in the US (10:53)Customer service now and back in the day (13:48)Important lessons they don't teach in high school (18:58)Life is more precious than anything (22:17)The importance of having a trustworthy name in any business (28:08)Resources:Book: Will Castro - Unique HustleWorldwide Autosports websiteConnect With Will:InstagramTwitter See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
