In the interview Mark and Andrea talk about: The very serious and troubling trauma Andrea had been living with for most of her life without realizing it and how it prevented her from trying to focus and work on The sabotage that kept creeping up from her subconscious Being told the importance of writing her own stories, which led to taking some writing classes How writing became a way for Andrea to express things that she was not otherwise able to express and the way it led her into a space where she could become fully creative When the memory of the terrible trauma came back to Andrea and struggling with wondering if it really truly happened How it's almost easiest to allow yourself to go crazy than to think that you "were evil" or just making this all up Not avoiding the darkness in her Young Adult books The love that Andrea has for the teenage girl that she was How hard it is for a person hurting and going through such trauma just taking that next step Finding herself within the character of a story of hope and finding the light in the darkness Recognizing that yes, horrible things happen in this world, but many gifts are also given to help get through it The "heroes journey" of making one's life satisfying saying "this is not where my story ends" Andrea's novel THE GREAT AND THE SMALL and how it explores what it takes to enable the rise of dictatorship via very small personal compromises that a person can make along the way The value in looking for the light, looking for the hope, and the importance of people being the change in Andrea's novel Believing in the capacity and the necessity to unite, and that the search for truth is a human right and responsibility that lies within each of us The "10 Steps to Inner Peace" that helped Andrea through the darkness (and which is available for anyone to read via a download on her website How evil itself isn't a thing, it's the absence of love The way that we can be that "leaven" in the bread The studies that have shown that sending love to a plant can help it thrive (and vice-versa when sending negative energy) And more . . .

The clock is ticking for the changes to capital gains to take effect. The window is also closing to do anything proactively about it before the changes occur. I sat down with Hemal Balsara, Head of Tax, Retirement, and Estate Planning, Individual Insurance, Manulife for this episode to get to the bottom of the changes. Hemal was part of a group invited to a closed-door meeting for the first viewing of the proposed changes and (you'll hear in the episode) as the document was handed out, he heard a wave of people muttering “capital gains”… “capital gains” and, in his own words: “I can't believe they finally did it” Hemal and I dive into the changes to help you answer specific questions I've been getting from clients like: Should I sell anything before the deadline? How will the changes affect what's outside of my corporation? What about my investments inside? What can I do about these changes? What existing tax strategies will still work? What existing tax strategies might work better? Even if you're listening to this episode after the changes have taken effect, we talk about what long-term adjustments to your existing plan might make sense considering these changes. It's not all about what you can do before the 25th. As always, consult someone who knows your specific situation before making any changes to your finances. If you're wondering how these changes might affect your financial plan and ability to retire, a fee-based plan might make sense for you. If you like the idea of having a roadmap to your goals, knowing exactly what you're getting for what you're paying, and no hidden commissions, book a free discovery call to see if the time is right for you to get a financial plan: https://www.galenhelpsdocs.com/call To follow Hemal and read his up-to-date articles analyzing the changes, you can find him on LinkedIn here.

On today’s episode, I’m speaking with founder of The Human Entrepreneur, a network empowering young entrepreneurs with the skills to achieve their ambitions. Born and raised in Mumbai, this week’s guest struggled to find his passion. Growing up he tried numerous roles within the corporate world until he finally decided it wasn’t for him. Stumbling across entrepreneurship, he furthered his interest in the subject by enrolling in university to complete a course based on it. Whilst there he began to battle with a new challenge - social isolation and anxiety. Already living with OCD, he found finding his feet a little more challenging than expected and so founded his next business idea to solve the problem. Talking us through the whole journey, here’s what it’s like to be Varun Balsara. Visit The Human Human Entrepreneur here

This weeks game changing guest is Nisha Balsara. Actress, Youtuber and incredible human from Los Angeles, CA.

 We recorded this one on the floor of her new apartment in LA, as we caught her on moving day! Nisha sets a fantastic example for women of color and people in general. She’s goes about veganism in a light, approachable way, but don’t confuse this with lack of dedication. She is an incredible voice for the plant based diet and what it can do for health, the animals and the planet.

 In this episode we cover:

 - Growing up in Texas, with parents from Canada and India. 
 - Experiencing acting set backs at a young age. 

- What it’s like to have a serious health problem. 

- Relationships with non-vegans.

 - The important of diversity in the entertainment industry.

 + More!

 Nisha has an amazing personal story and I am so happy to be sharing it with you today, hope you enjoy the show!

 You can find Nisha on Instagram at @nishabalsara and also YouTube. She has her own channel, ‘Nisha Balsara’ and is also a part of ‘The Vegan View’.

It’s no question. Film and television are two of the biggest culture shapers in our society. And images are more powerful than words. This is why so many are asking for wider visibility in these forms of media that properly reflects the diversity in the US. In this episode, Evan and Hannah talk with actor and YouTuber Nisha Balsara about how Hollywood is failing to give various groups the visibility they deserve on screen. Also discussed are representation in new media, vegans in TV shows, the shocking pay gap, and the positive changes this decade is already experiencing.
