On today's episode, we welcome the amazing Anjie Hipple, a spiritual channeler and guide whose journey is a testament to the power of surrender, love, and awakening. Anjie shares her story with a vulnerability and authenticity that invites us all to look deeper within ourselves. Anjie's early life was marked by a sincere devotion to the Christian faith, a path that, while filled with dedication, left her grappling with deep-seated despair and questions about her life's purpose. This period of questioning culminated in a series of life-altering events, including the sudden death of her father and the dissolution of her 27-year marriage. These experiences, painful as they were, served as catalysts for Anjie's spiritual awakening. As she navigated these tumultuous times, Anjie met a spiritually enlightened man who introduced her to new ways of thinking and being. This relationship opened her eyes to spiritual concepts beyond the confines of her previous beliefs, leading her to a deeper understanding of her ego and its impact on her life. This transformation was further accelerated by her severe illness during the COVID-19 pandemic, a period she describes as a “gift of transformation” where she was forced into stillness and deep internal soul work. Encouraged by her partner, she opened herself to the possibility of channeling higher beings. This led to her profound connection with Judah, a collective of enlightened entities. Anjie describes her first experience with channeling as overwhelming, yet deeply affirming. “I felt this little baby as if it was inside of my physical body… I knew all this information,” she recounts, marking the beginning of her journey as a channeler. Judah's teachings have profoundly impacted Anjie's life, providing her with guidance and wisdom that she now shares with others. One of Judah's central messages is the importance of self-love and compassion, especially when faced with difficult relationships and personal challenges. “If you cannot find a way to love them, love yourself,” Judah advises, emphasizing that self-love is the foundation for manifesting a loving and compassionate world. You can access trainings with Anjie here https://www.thejudahchannel.com/a/2147532744/WKomLwoo You can purchase a copy of Anjie's book the Answer To All Your Questions https://www.amazon.com/Answer-Your-Questions-First-Judah-ebook/dp/B0BHBXG3VZ Check out Anjie's youtube channel here https://www.youtube.com/@thejudahchannel BUY MY NEW BOOK AND ACTIVATE YOUR UNLIMITED POWER - https://a.co/d/afXAKW5

Jennifer is in NYC, but we were able to find a way to do our podcast from both coasts.  In this one, we begin by welcoming the folks from Alex Ferrari's podcast "Next Level Soul" who found us after listening to my recent podcast on Alex's channel. Jennifer talks a little about her work, her journey to the work, and how she works with law enforcement pro bono on a daily basis.  (I have met some of the folks she works with, and in the book ARCHITECTURE OF THE AFTERLIFE one of them did a guided meditation with me.) Then we discuss a few of the guided meditations I've done recently, including one where a person saw Jim Henson in a vivid dream, so during her meditation, we asked him to come forward and answer a couple of questions about his journey. He talked about being connected to his family, and mentioned his daughter and son who have carried on his work. He also spoke of how people can access loved ones offstage if they need to. Then I asked some questions about a recent unusual event - son and wife were walking in the park playing "20 questions" (where you think of an object or phrase or person, and the other person has 20 tries to guess it). And as they were walking past a slightly schizophrenic (not sure if he was or wasn't, but he had no filter when he spoke) fellow on the part bench, said aloud the phrase he was thinking of. "In and Out Burger animal style."  (Which only people in LA know what that means).  Jennifer said that the fellow wasn't an intuitive per se, but that it was Robin Williams who popped that answer into his head. Which is mind bending, since Robin played the Fisher King so well in the feature film where he played one of those savants. As noted, Robin does show up often in people's sessions, and lately I've heard his name quite a bit. Which led to a question about an event in a library where a friend picked up a book and heard someone tell them that was the "same book they had checked out of the library many times."  And a closer look at the left over page where they used to stamp the data of each checkout, showed that the time stamp of the date (about 16 weeks in 1967) corresponded when this person "Carlos" was reported to be researching in this very library. At some point Jennifer "guessed" the name of the fellow, and before she could say that name, I said "That's correct" realizing she'd guessed it (without hearing it.) We did talk about this fellow for a bit - but I was recounting recent articles, and not asking him directly about the accuracy of those articles, so I decided to leave it just at the name "Carlos."  (Could be Santana, could be the Jackal, could be someone else entirely.) I'm not trying to be cagey, I just want to point out - anyone can do this, do the same thing. Jennifer saw Wayne Dyer show up - someone she met, revered, and confirmed who this person was, and then my old boss Robert Towne stopped by, and because he was the most poetic person I have known - asked him to talk about his experience on the flipside. I said something like "Well you probably don't miss much on the flipside" because people report we can create anything. And he corrected me, and then spoke eloquently about all the different things that are difficult to create on the other side that we choose to incarnate to experience. (Sea air with salt, the touch of a cheek, a hug, some spectacular sunsets) - he says that "all those colors are there, but it's different to experience them on the planet." It's about as poetic as one can be on a podcast. Enjoy, and please be kind to someone today who needs it. 

On this Thursday bonus episode we are going to play the interview from episode 240 with Podcaster, Filmmaker and Filmtrapenuear Alex Ferrari who talks about how you can make your film profitable through self distribution and getting creative around the merchandising around the film, which I thought was a good match for Racheal and Maria because they talk a lot about self distribution and creating other revenue streams for their film.

​This week I sit down with Certified Medium--Michelle Clare. Michelle shares her wisdom from having had three near death experiences, and being reminded of the unconditional love that exists in all of us, in our human form. She also shares insights into pre-planning our lives and how we are constantly given opportunities to listen and act on our soul's purpose. Michelle tackles the question of the difficulty that can come from awakening, when the world around you is remaining largely unconscious and how this contrast actually supports your further enlightenment. Michelle also demystifies the transition from life to death and how what we believe in our human form brings us gently into full awareness of everything that is, when we cross over and that no one dies or lives alone. We all have a spiritual entourage, supporting us.

At age five, Bruce Rubin had a spiritual experience playing in a sandbox in the middle of the afternoon. The sun disappeared, and a dense night sky appeared in its place. Infinite galaxies were swirling in the vastness of his own head, and he sensed the entire universe was contained within him. He knew instantly he was one with all there was. In the years that followed, Bruce became an Oscar-winning screenwriter, a spiritual teacher, and, most recently, a photographer. Each aspect of his life has been a conscious effort to explore and reveal what he learned in that sandbox.Bruce was born in the middle of WWII and raised in Detroit, Michigan, the son of Sondra and Jimmy Rubin. He has a younger brother and sister, Gary and Marci. There was very little remarkable about him. He wanted to be an actor, writer, and director but had no talent to speak of. In 1965 he took a massive (and accidental) overdose of LSD and began a journey that lasted between 3 and 4 billion years. When he returned, he knew he would have stories to tell. He also knew he needed to find a teacher, so he hitchhiked around the world for nearly two years in search of one. After living in ashrams in India and in a Tibetan monastery in Kathmandu, he met his teacher Rudi in New York City just blocks from where he had begun his journey. Rudi taught a meditation practice that became the foundation for Bruce's spiritual life. He has meditated every day since. Bruce's screenwriting career began late in his life. Earlier, he had been an assistant film editor for the NBC Nightly News and Curator and Head of the Film Department at the Whitney Museum in New York. When Rudi died, Bruce gave up his museum career to continue his spiritual practice with a disciple of Rudi's in Bloomington, Indiana. While there, he was also writing movies, twice locking himself in a hotel room and refusing to emerge without a finished script. He also began teaching meditation to an expanding community of fellow seekers and continues holding classes to this day. After 44 years of daily meditation, Bruce experienced what is referred to as a spiritual awakening. For him, it was a revelation that no one could awaken. The illusion of a separate ego dissolved and left him in a state of extraordinary emptiness and inexplicable expansion. It was a profound step in a journey that began in a sandbox and continues to this moment. Bruce continues to share his evolving experience with his students. His talks can be found on YouTube and on his site. Recently, he also discovered photography as an unexpected opportunity for communicating his spiritual vision. The result of always having an iPhone in his pocket, he describes this new phase in his creative life as the discovery of seeing. As Bruce explains, “The mystery and magic of the world are not hidden. It is under our feet, on old walls, and in rusting garbage cans. The beauty, the wonder, never ends.”Please enjoy my conversation with Bruce Joel Rubin.Originally aired on my other show, the Next Level Soul Podcast with Alex Ferrari.What is NLS?Next Level Soul founder Alex Ferrari is a #1 best-selling author, podcaster, speaker, conscious entrepreneur, and award-winning filmmaker.

CHRISTMAS BONUS:My book Rise of the Filmtrepreneur®: How to Turn Your Indie Film into a Moneymaking Business has become an Amazon Best Seller. I'm so excited to share this with you, the IFH Tribe. I've been working for months to make this happen. I wanted to give you a sneak peek at the book so in this episode, I'll be releasing the first two chapters of the audiobook for your listening pleasure. These two chapters set the tone for the book. In the episode, I even show you a way to download the entire book for free.Here's a bit of what Rise of the Filmtrepreneur has to offer:It's harder today than ever before for independent filmmakers to make money with their films. From predatory film distributors ripping them off to huckster film aggregators who prey upon them, the odds are stacked against the indie filmmaker. The old distribution model for making money with indie film is broken and there needs to be a change. The future of independent filmmaking is the entrepreneurial filmmaker or the Filmtrepreneur®. In Rise of the Filmtrepreneur® author and filmmaker Alex Ferrari breaks down how to actually make money with independent film projects and shows filmmakers how to turn their indie films into profitable businesses. This is not all theory, Alex uses multiple real-world case studies to illustrate each part of his method. This book shows you the step by step way to turn your filmmaking passion into a profitable career. If you are making a feature film, series or any kind of video content, The Filmtrepreneur® Method will set you up for success.I really hope you enjoy Rise of the Filmtrepreneur. I truly believe that the only way indie filmmakers will be able to survive the new film economy is by becoming Filmtrepreneurs. My goal for this book is to show filmmakers and creatives that they have to think differently. The old film economy is DEAD. Traditional film distribution is not set up to benefit the indie filmmaker. The cards are stacked against the creative and things need to change.Filmmakers need to take back control of their films and how they generate revenue from them. The day of handing over your film to a predatory film distributor because you believe there is no other choice is over! There is another way and the Filmtrepreneur Method is that way. Let me know what you think of the book. Enjoy and VIVA LA REVOLUTION!

So today we are going to go down the rabbit hole of NFTs. What the heck is an NFT. It is a Non Fungible Token. Basically, an NFT is a completely original digital file or a digital collectable which is registered on a blockchain ledger just like any cryptocurrency. But unlike cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin or Ethereum, an NFT is totally unique and because it lives on the blockchain it verifies who is the rightful owner of this one-of-a-kind digital collectable file.In February 2021, digital artist Peebles sold a digital artwork for $69.3 million at auction. You heard correctly almost $70 million for a digital file. The founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, sold his very first tweet as an NFT for $2.9 million.It took me a minute to understand what these things were and then it clicked. NFTs are digital baseball cards, comic books, Garbage Pail Kids or Pokemon cards. They are just a digital version and in many ways better because you know exactly how many copies exist.The NBA is sell "moments" as NFTs through NBA Top Shots. Basically, they are selling highlight clips as NFT and they are killing it. Fans of the NBA are gobbling these NFTs as fast as they are released. I really think there is now one doing NFTs better than the NBA right now.Musicians are having amazing success selling NFTs directly to their fans. This is turning the established music industry on its head. NFTs are essentially killing off the middle man. No more label, just a direct relationship with the artist's fans.The other amazing thin about NFTs is that the artist continues to make money on every sale of the NFT forever. Let me explain. When an artist creates a NFT by minting it. Minting is the process of create the digital file (NFT) and placing it on the blockchain. The artist then sets the residual percentage every time the NFT sells.So if I mint a short film and sell it for $500. I get $500. Now, if the new owner sells it 2 years from now for $10,000 I get 10% of that sale. Every time that NFT is resold I get my cut. All transactions transparent. All on the blockchain.So how can filmmakers make money? There are so many options because NFTs are in their infancy. Everyone is trying  to figure out how to use them  in indie film. Some ideas are:Selling the distribution rights to the entire film, like Kevin Smith is doing with is latest film KilljoySelling the distribution rights to your film in shares like the indie film LotawanaCreate  an NFT to a short film to finance itSell NFT collectables from the filmFund raise your film's budget with NFTsThese are just some ideas. I decide to throw my hat in the ring and created an experiment. I minted a few NFTs for my first short film BROKEN and some "legacy NFTs" of the first ever filmmaking tutorials ever uploaded to YouTube. Here is the description of one of the NFTs.This NFT is called Muzzle Flash Breakdown and is one of the first filmmaking tutorials to ever be uploaded to YouTube. It was uploaded on August 28, 2006 by filmmaker, author and Indie Film Hustle Podcast host Alex Ferrari from his 2005 award-winning short film BROKEN. It was taken from the best-selling DVD of the film. That DVD was one of the first indie short films to ever create a massive collection of tutorials and making of videos that explained how to make a low-budget independent film with off-the-shelf software and digital consumer cameras.  This is part of a limited series of filmmaking tutorials that were uploaded to YouTube from the short film BROKEN. All the videos were uploaded and released on the same day in 2006. The external link attached to this NFT will show the original upload to YouTube.Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFPoBZY5BrAWhen you purchase this NFT you will also gain access to the short film BROKEN, the entire collection of tutorials and commentary tracks via private link and passcode. You will also receive the original QuickTime file that was uploaded to YouTube.To access my NFTs go to: www.ifhnft.comI released three of 6 of the total filmmaking tutorials I uploaded on YouTune back in Aug 2006. If these sell out I'll upload the rest and maybe some of my other popular short films I directed over the years. I wanted to give you an example of what an independent film NFT looked like and this is totally an experiment to see what happens.Maybe I'll never sell an NFT, maybe I sell  them three years from now or maybe they will sell out in 15 min. Who knows. What I am excited about is the potential of what this could mean for the indie filmmaking community.In this episode I break down everything you need to know about NFTs, how to make money with them and more. Enjoy!

For anyone who wasn't able to make it out to my talk at the Chinese Theater a few weeks ago you are in luck. I recorded it LIVE so I could bring it to the IFH Tribe. If you want to watch the talk check out the video below but if you are on a commute or can't watch it sit back and enjoy my velvety voice, well just enjoy. The talk is about how not to follow your filmmaking dream. The mistakes I made and why I sold my soul to the devil to make my filmmaking dream to come true. I go in deep on my story from Shooting for the Mob. I speak about things I never discussed in public before so you are in for a treat. I hope this helps a few of the IFH Tribe out and serves as a warning of what NOT to do. Here some info on the book that inspired my talk.A bipolar gangster, a naive, young film director, and Batman. What could go wrong? Alex Ferrari is a first-time film director who just got hired to direct a $20 million feature film, the only problem is the film is about Jimmy, an egomaniacal gangster who wants the film to be about his life in the mob.From the backwater towns of Louisiana to the Hollywood Hills, Alex is taken on a crazy misadventure through the world of the mafia and Hollywood. Huge movie stars, billion-dollar producers, studio heads and, of course, a few gangsters, populate this unbelievable journey down the rabbit hole of chasing your dream. Would you sell your soul to the devil to make your dream come true? By the way, did we mention that this story is based on true events? no, seriously it is."As a young, aspiring director chasing his dream, the author half-falls and half-skids down the rabbit hole of becoming trapped by his "angel investor" -- into an impossible situation, filled with shady characters, shockingly incompetent unprofessionals and money that seems to fly away as it is allegedly secured. This is the ultimate "How-Not-To" primer for beginning directors -- and, for everyone else, a yarn to enjoy for its dark-edged hilarity." - Jim Uhls (Screenwriter of Fight Club)Enjoy!
