Anish Patel began his career in the bustling 9-to-5 world of London, quickly rising through the ranks yet feeling deeply unfulfilled by age 25. Driven by a need for more, he set off for South America, where he spent the next seven years navigating dramatic highs and lows—going from financial rock bottom to building a seven-figure video advertising company. However, with rapid success came a steep price. Severe burnout and depression spurred Anish's journey toward finding life's deeper meaning. This search took him through intense phases of heavy partying and substance use, as well as a creative exploration of art, poetry, and acting. These experiences ultimately led him to self-development and healing practices that would change his life's course. Over the years, Anish dove deeply into somatic experiencing, energy work, attachment therapy, and masculine-feminine polarity, among other modalities. Through these studies, he discovered a profound truth: the power of presence—the art of allowing life's energy to flow freely to unlock one's greatest potential. Today, with a system of 10 principles rooted in container work, energy work, and over 12 years of experience in relationships and business, Anish Patel helps clients achieve lasting, authentic success.

Hi, I'm Eric Karnezis. My life's been a pretty wild ride. I grew up on the streets after my parents, who were involved in drugs, ended up in prison. Those days were tough, but they taught me a lot about standing on my own two feet and bouncing back, no matter what life throws at you. I didn't have much growing up, but I had big dreams. And I worked hard. Really hard. Now, I've made it as an entrepreneur and done pretty well for myself. I'm talking millions. But even more remarkable is that I found peace along the way. I got into spirituality, and it's changed everything for me. I'm not just about making money. I believe in giving back. That's why I'm creating a difference in my community, helping out where possible. I've also written a book about my life. It's not just my story; it's a message of hope. I want to show people that no matter how hard things get, there's always a way to turn your life around. So, that's me. I've seen the worst and best of life and am here to share what I've learned. I am looking forward to meeting you and making a difference together. More of Eric: Website: erickarnezis.com Instagram: @eric_karnezis
