Brendan Murphy and Aimee Devlin's "Global Freedom Movement" is a new social media platform, but it's also a lot more than that. When you visit their site (www.globalfreedommovement.org), you'll get a taste of the scope of their work to bring greater consciousness to humanity, in an effort to help us turn aside from the suicidal path we are on as a species at the present time. Global Freedom Movement is also offered as an antidote to social media platforms that are becoming more highly censored every day by the global corporations that own them. Global Freedom Movement is a social media platform, it is a resource center for articles and podcasts, and it is also the site of a new online University that will function in the same spirit of truth and solutions to individual and global problems. As Aimee and Brendan put it, "Unlike many other 'alternative' websites, we are solution-based and not merely complaining about the System. We raise awareness, identify possibilities, and get things done." I'm looking forward to our discussion with Brendan and Aimee, to hear about the details of their plans, and the solutions they want to help us find. As always, you are invited. Join me, your host Richard Sacks, every week for fascinating discussions, amazing guests and useful information that you will not want to miss.

Buying a car in Mexico: it’s one of the best ways to see the country and can be an immensely rewarding way to travel. Check Out All of Our Mexico Posts! This week’s guest has a lot of experience buying a car in Mexico, and she shares her experience here. Aimee and her husband sold everything and left to drive around Mexico with their two daughters, two dogs, and a cat. This is their story. There are lots of twists and turns, so listen in and learn from their mistakes! Buying a Car in Mexico Buying a car in Mexico and then driving around Mexico with two kids, two dogs, and one cat. That’s what Aimee Lynch and her husband Jason did. In fact, they’ve bought three cars in Mexico, and they’re still driving around Mexico right now. Today we talk about their adventurous road trip and lessons they’ve learned along the way. Jason and Aimee are from Iowa, far from any ocean. Then they decided to give Mexico a try and moved to Cozumel, right on the Caribbean Sea. At first, they lived without a car in Mexico. Instead, they lived out of their suitcases. But eventually, the kids wanted to try going to a local school and taxis or walking wasn’t a realistic option. That’s when they decided to buy a car in Mexico for the first time.   IN THIS EPISODE 02:36 Intro 03:11 Why Mexico? Why drive around Mexico? 7:01 Cars in Mexico 09:05 Mobile Mechanics 11:24 Re-Registering the Truck 15:07 Playa del Carmen, the Jeep & Pets 18:31 Leaving Playa del Carmen for Driving Around Mexico 27:51 San Miguel de Allende & Oaxaca 31:50 Car Insurance 35:08 Health Insurance 38:58 Car Maintenance 41:22 Tips for Driving in Mexico 44:57 Destinations 46:53 The Size of Mexico Paperwork: Buying a Car in Mexico Their first car was a beat-up old Blazer. It did the job and was all they needed to get around Cozumel with the kids. They were surprised to discover that paperwork for buying a car in Mexico was surprisingly simple. In fact, all the owner had to do was sign a paper saying that they give the car to you. Simple, right? Wrong. Soon they found out that buying a car in Mexico is a little more complicated than that. When they went to re-register the truck, they hired a lawyer to help with the paperwork. There they discovered that since they didn't have the original title, they technically couldn't drive the car or sell it. Nor could they replace the original title. As Aimee says in the podcast they chose an unusual solution: they gave the car to a local Mexican friend. They were planning to leave Cozumel for the mainland and in her words, they had got their money out of the Blazer, so it was time to move on. Buying a Car in Playa del Carmen Cozumel was a great place to start with their limited Spanish. However, Aimee says that if they wanted to truly immerse themselves in Spanish, they would have to head to the mainland. The Lynch family then moved to Playa del Carmen, where they bought a Jeep Cherokee. They loved the Jeep, but eventually, they decided to drive around the country. The Jeep was not big enough for their family, their pets and all of their stuff. It was time to buy a car in Mexico once more. Using the same Lawyer from Cozumel, they went to a local used car dealer and left with a Chevy Suburban. After some complications with the lawyer, they decided to deal directly with the dealership. The dealer told them to go ahead and proceed with their traveling plans, so Aimee's family left Playa del Carmen on a huge Mexico road trip. They drove from Playa del Carmen to Merida, and then out of the Yucatan Peninsula and up to Mexico City, Puebla, San Miguel de Allende and beyond. Then it was on to Puerto Escondido in Oaxaca before they decided that they wanted to slow down and possibly return to Cozumel for a while. Use a Lawyer When You Buy a Car in Mexico All along the way, they waited to hear that their paperwork was finished. Eventually, the car dealership told them that it couldn't be done and that they wanted to buy the car back from them...at a cheaper price. More details in the podcast. This is when Aimee and Jason realized that the lawyer was probably right. If you're going to buy a car in Mexico, she says, hire a lawyer and listen to them. Fortunately, they were able to work it out. They stood up to the dealership, who backed down and "suddenly became very nice," once they said that they would hire a lawyer again to help. Flying in, Buying a Car in Mexico & Driving the Country There's much more to the story of the Lynch's experience buying a car in Mexico. Make sure to listen to the podcast for the details. We discuss the paperwork you need to buy a car in Mexico and dealing with police at checkpoints. We talk about driving tips, and car insurance (spoiler alert: if you buy a car in Mexico, make sure to buy car insurance, too). Aimee talks about additional benefits of Mexican car insurance that you might not think of. Car Maintenance: Buying a Car in Mexico Buying a car in Mexico is quite cheap compared to the United States. So is car maintenance, although the methods might be different from what you're accustomed to. Aimee tells stories of mobile mechanics who bring the garage to you, and of unorthodox ways of getting a car started. Mexico Road Trip Destinations Once you buy a car in Mexico, where do you want to go? Aimee has some suggestions. She says that having a car in Playa del Carmen was great because it helps give you access to all the amazing cenotes nearby. We can agree that the Yucatan Peninsula is a great place to drive in Mexico. If we were to buy a car in Mexico and stay long-term, places like Merida and Tulum would be a great place to start. The roads are flat, straight and open. That was not the case for the road from Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido, on the Pacific coast, she says. Google Maps said it would take six hours, but it took them 10. Full of sharp left-and-right switchbacks, they drove carsick at 20 miles an hour for what seemed like an eternity. Take our advice: go to Puerto Escondido — it's fantastic — but fly in. She also talked about driving in San Miguel de Allende, but more as a warning. They loved driving in Central Mexico, and San Miguel de Allende is a beautiful town. That said, the streets are quite narrow. We would agree. We love exploring San Miguel de Allende with kids, but driving on it's hilly, narrow cobblestone streets would be a headache. It reminds us of Toledo in Spain, actually). Conclusion: Buying a Car in Mexico Aimee and I discuss lots more than buying a car in Mexico, so listen in. If you want to buy a car in Mexico, she's the right person to talk to and it open to questions from listeners.

For Mat Poovan, the path to his dreams was filled with unexpected twists and turns. He always had lofty ambitions and a clear path to follow to achieve his goals. But, on the road to some of those goals, Mat found his true passion: Indian classical music. Specifically, it was the sitar that grabbed his attention. Mat discovered the sitar quite by accident, while attending class and studying ancient India. His teacher played Indian classical music in the background and the rest, as they say, is history. From there, Mat pursued his passion for music, but it was balanced with some other passions - creating a full life of being a business consultant by day and a talented musician by night. TWEET: Discovering your #dreams when you least expect to, on this episode of #ChasingDreams Following his path - even though it was unexpected. When Mat started school, he had already been studying the sitar for several years. He knew he had to be more practical about school, so he decided to major in political science with a minor in economics. Mat’s end goal was to become an ambassador eventually. As his passion for music grew, Mat’s goals in political science shifted. He made some changes so that he could pursue both passions - changing his major and eventually discovered instructional design. His passion for instructional design would pave the way for a solid career as a business consultant, while allowing Mat the freedom to pursue music in his downtime. Finding your true passion and pursuing it with all that you’ve got. Mat discusses his passion for instructional design and walks us down the path of discovering the sitar at a young age, and how he ended up with his first instrument. Once Mat set his sights on learning the sitar, everything fell into place around it. He found a local teacher who was an expert in Indian classical music and he was able to develop his skills over the years. His love of the sitar and Indian classical music as a whole was clear - and Mat eventually found himself being encouraged to become a teacher. This led to many new opportunities in the music industry, including his work with the Indian Academy of Music & Fine Arts and his work with the record label Aimrec. TWEET: When it comes to #pursuing your #passion, you have to go after it with all that you’ve got Being a trendsetter in the realm of Indian Classical Music. Mat gives us insight into his connection to Indian classical music and how he knew - instantly - that this was a path he needed to follow. He also discusses how uncommon it is to find an American-born Indian who plays the sitar. In reality, Mat had become a trendsetter and was blazing a trail for budding musicians who wanted to follow his path. He discusses his goals within music, as well as his other career in industrial design, and shares insight into some “bucket list” items he’d like to conquer. One of his bucket list items? To record an album and eventually win a Grammy. Mat believes in dreaming big, and that’s just what he does. The key to following your dreams? Just start. As Aimee and Mat close out their chat, they discuss the value of setting huge goals in order to propel yourself forward. Mat offers advice to fellow dream chasers who are ready to pursue their dreams. The key to his advice? Just start. Mat’s all about planning and making sure you know the steps that will help you achieve your goal. But, according to Mat, the most important thing is to just start. Mat also discusses some other dreams, including playing a huge venues like The Kennedy Center and someday building a house. When it comes to chasing dreams, Mat is a shining example of following the road less traveled and being true to yourself along the way.

[2:15] How do you end up doing so many things under 30 years old? [4:28] Do you feel you learned more from experience versus traditional education? [6:04] Do you feel you would have ended up in instructional design if not for your internship? [7:18] When did you start playing the sitar? [11:24] The odds of Mat connecting with a sitar teacher locally so he could pursue his passion and learn to play. [12:48] The commonality of American-born Indians who play the sitar. [15:10] What was it that made you continue to develop your sitar skills? [19:47] How his teacher guided Mat into becoming a teacher himself. [21:17] Have you actually recording CDs of your own music? [22:53] What else is on your bucket list? [24:41] One thing you would recommend to someone who is chasing their dreams.

Dream-chasing isn’t always easy. The road is filled with unexpected twists, turns, and bumps. But, when you know you’re following your purpose, you have to keep going. On today’s episode, Aimee J chats with her friend Yuzun Kang. After tapping into his passion for creativity at an early age, Yuzun went on to join Riot Games as development manager and product owner. Getting there wasn’t easy, but Yuzun explains why every experience - even the difficult ones - was worth it. Today’s Chasing Dreams will leave you feeling as though anything is possible. TWEET: Don’t ask for permission; just go for it. Anyone can do anything. Find out more on this episode. Finding your purpose and what it takes to make it your reality. Once Yuzun saw beyond the stereotype of video games, he realized gaming is about taking an interactive experience and using it to communicate how we live our lives. After playing a videogame called Braid, Yuzun was inspired by the philosophical idea behind it and curious to find out if he could make video games his life. Creativity was something he discovered early, tapping into his creative spirit after watching the sequel to “The Neverending Story”. In college, he followed his creative passion by majoring in Creative Writing, but would eventually find himself in Law School. Yuzun explains that he really didn’t like law school and knew right away this wasn’t the life for him, but that the experience was invaluable. He shares how the learnings from law school have been applied to his current career with Riot Games - in very unexpected ways. From a passion for film-making to pursuing a Masters of Fine Arts in Poetry. Staying true to his creative pursuits, Yuzun found himself being encouraged to apply for a Masters of Fine Arts in Poetry. Growing to love poetry more and more throughout the experience, Yuzun enjoyed his education but always knew there was more for him. Film-making became a passion pursuit as well, but he wouldn’t “settle down” until he was finally able to gain an edge in the gaming industry. After his stint in law school, Yuzun hit the ground running with his sights set on making it in video games. Getting started, however, would be anything but easy. What came next, Yuzun says, would shape his future. TWEET: Always be prepared for #opportunity: on this episode of #ChasingDreams Don’t ask for permission. Just go for it. When Yuzun decided it was time to find out if he really could make it in the video game industry, he knew he’d have to work hard, be very determined, and come up with creative ways to gain notice. He started by searching for interning opportunities in the industry, but wouldn’t get very far. From there, Yuzun found himself writing reviews for games in the hopes this would give him his break. This led to many networking opportunities at gaming events and conferences. Yuzun tells Aimee how networking led to his first job with a video game startup. After much hard work and sacrifice, Yuzun was able to learn a tremendous amount in his experience with the startup. These skills, he says, would help him throughout his career. Yuzun shares some valuable insight into how fellow dream chasers should approach their passions. Being prepared for opportunity is key. As Aimee closes out her chat with Yuzun, they discuss the importance of being ready for opportunity when it comes. Yuzun shares his mindset of hard work, doing your best, and always - always - being ready for opportunity. He goes on to discuss the value of teamwork in building a successful, fulfilling career, and how his team at Riot Games is critical to his career happiness.
