An idea - whether it's a business, a book, or a brand isn't just an object. It's a living dynamic organism that has come to us, and us alone, for a reason. This beautiful thing chose us to flow through and co-create with us, and that's a vision that needs no one's approval to bloom.   It's a completely different way of doing business, yes, but it is a more sustainable approach.   Resonance is two energy waves coming together - a Source-given match between creator and creation. That's why the most resonant businesses come from within. Our body's wisdom will always tell us what's resonant and what's dissonant. We need to have courage to honor whatever's happening inside our body, regardless of what the external thinks.   It's a powerful practice, not just for being, playing and loving, but also for creating things that never stop regenerating. For Suzy Batiz, this model was a huge aspect behind Poo~Pourri. How did this idea come to her? How did she overcome the need for approval? How do we take this lesson from her and learn to trust our body's wisdom (and actually listen to it)?   In this episode, we're delighted to be joined by Suzy. She shares the journey she's taken, and why resonance should always be an ingredient in our creative process.   Having the courage to honor whatever's happening inside your body regardless of what the external thinks about it. That's the practice. -Suzy Batiz   Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode    -The idea has its own desires  When built on resonance, the essence of our creation naturally amplifies out. What's the danger in taking an outside-in approach?   -Warning: logic can be faulty Our brains are powerful creation machines but why is the body more reliable?   -Mind the override  What happens when we ignore the resonant voice inside us in favor of making everyone else comfortable?   Guest Bio    Suzy Batiz is an entrepreneur and the founder of Poo~Pourri. She has been featured by leading publications including Forbes, CNBC, Fast Company and Entrepreneur. She has been named one of Forbes' Richest Self-Made Women in America (2019), EY's Entrepreneur of the Year (2017), Conscious Company's World Changing Women (2019), EarthX's Community Leader of the Year (2019) and is WBENC (Women Owned) certified business owner. Suzy has also been interviewed for Leaders Create Leaders, Modern Hero, Marie Forleo's Marie TV and has given presentations for Conscious Capitalism, Google, HustleCon, SXSW, Create & Cultivate & the In goop Health summit.

From primary school to university, nobody really teaches us how to think. We're taught what to think. We don't take into account that during the 0-7 age period we are all in the developmental stage called the imprint period. During that time we have no ability to filter anything that comes through our consciousness. So, anything that comes through our 5 senses is all internalized because we cannot filter them and we have no control over what is there in our subconscious thoughts." - Scott Jackson Listen To Episode 481 As Scott Jackson Uncovers: [1:30] Neurolinguistic Programming: The User Manual for the Mind Scott Jackson Join me live at the $REWIRE event in Austin, Texas | October 27–30 2022 NLP Freedom Mandorla Ranch Instagram - Mandorla Ranch Scott's personal life journey and wellness transformation over the last 20 years.

David R. Hawkins The price that is paid when we choose to keep the heart closed. Scott's experience with talk therapy and the moment he chose to lean towards timeline therapy. The transformational experience Scott had of briefly dying at the age of 25 from a drug overdose and what he experienced on the other side that impacted his spirituality. Where and when Scott met his inner child at 36 years old during an intense therapeutic experience. Why, like other wellness tools, sometimes people choose to intentionally use abuse NLP for a negative purpose like control. Just how powerful neurolinguistic programming is that you can help break old patterns even from past lives. [58:00] Healing Severe Trauma with NLP Therapy How to flip the script and see a past event as something important that happened for a higher purpose to help you reclaim your power and receive powerful, transformational learnings. The work Scott did with one client to help her let go of the negative energy of three extreme life events in under 15 minutes for each one through NLP therapy. Why the pre-game, setup, and preparation were so key to helping this one client as well as everyone else. Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl Dr. Wayne W. Dyer The incredible fact that if you change the way you look at things, those things will change. Virginia Satir Fritz Perls Dr. Milton H Erickson How NLP came to be with the work of many experts in their field.

Different models of the world that have led us to become who we are in life. Breaking down what auditory digital (the 6th sense) is and how all data comes in through our 5 senses unconsciously. Why auditory digital is becoming more and more common in this modern age. Our connection to the universe and understanding that we are one with it. What the subconscious-conscious mind integration practice is and how Scott uses it in his NLP trainings. Why accepting that things are neutral is key for rewiring the mind and healing negative thought and behavior patterns. Scott's interactions with clients and why he never asks them, "Why?" but instead questions like, "Why did you choose to create this?" or "What is the purpose of this? What could this be serving?" How to do a deeper inner reflection and think about what and how much you are willing to change for yourself. Key steps to integrate what you have learned from attending $REWIRE and what tools Scott and Joanie will give you to help with the process. [1:35:00] Freeing Ourselves from the Limitations of Our Past Stories Josh has created for himself, especially with his mother and father. Josh's decision to attend Scott's $REWIRE event and our invitation for you to join him there! How Scott honors the mystery in his life and purpose with NLP trainings. Different other tools from plant medicine to breathwork to create a deeper relationship with Spirit. An egoic resurgence we go through when we continue to self-sabotage and believe in false beliefs. How we can heal the trauma that has been imprinted and passed down to us by past generations without really knowing what our ancestors actually went through. Why NLP training doesn't mean we have to give up everything we know or that we have been conditioned with in our lifetime. The fact that the words we use don't describe our experience, they determine our reality. Why Scott believes that the best way to change the world is to help people free themselves of their pain and live better lives.

Scott's definition of wellness and how he lives life well. Power Quotes From The Show The Ultimate Generational Cycle Breaker "What if we believed that healing could be fast? That healing could be easy? Guess what? Healing actually really is that simple. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. I've literally had people come to me and share that neurolinguistic programming has been a generational cycle breaker." - Scott Jackson Let Go of Old Beliefs "With the neurolinguistic programming technique, what we look at is structure, not content. So, if I believe that I'm not good enough or that I'm not worthy and that's an unconscious belief that is still held linguistically, that is also still held neurologically as well. If we can break the structure of neurology, then the belief can no longer exist within us." - Scott Jackson What it Takes to Have Freedom "Do you want to live from a place of trauma and suffer for your whole life or would you rather have freedom? That doesn't mean freedom doesn't evolve some kind of suffering to get there because it can and being free of things can be painful. Breaking patterns can be painful. The price of going through whatever you have to go through to achieve freedom has to be greater, more motivational, and more desirable than the continued suffering of maintaining my pain." - Scott Jackson Links From Today's Show  About Scott Jackson REWIRE Austin, TX October 27-30th 2022 NLP Freedom Mandorla Ranch Instagram - Mandorla Ranch The Structure of Magic, Vol. 1: A Book About Language and Therapy by Richard Bandler and John Grinder Morris Massey 435 Dr. John Gray | Wellness In Relationships: Testosterone, Estrogen, Semen Retention & Sexual Polarity David R.

I grew up moving around a great deal, but mostly in Perth, Western Australia. I speak five languages, mostly from all that moving around, and love talking about linguistics (unfortunately few others do). Went to college and law school in New York City, where I started working as a journalist while in law school, then went to Afghanistan as a war correspondent before starting work with the state department as an anti-human trafficking attorney. Spent five years in that field before starting Lightning Fruit, because I believed I couldn't change the world the way I wanted to without the power & influence that running my own business could give me. Lightning Fruit is a mission-driven agency because that's who I am, but it's a for-profit business because I believe social change requires being part of the economic system, and because I want to use that profit for even bigger things. Outside of work, I love reading sci-fi/fantasy, rock climbing (especially trad), snowboarding (especially backcountry), generally being in the wilderness, and me & my partner's extremely cute mutt Seneca.https://lightningfruit.com

Constant feedback and appreciation to inform each person what they did right will help them grow into better people. We are either leaving people better or worse, never neutral. We must put a lot of intention in leaving the people we encounter a little bit better.  “My goal is that everybody walks away from any type of interaction with First United or myself feeling a little bit better, a little elevated because life is so hard for us anyway like it is...” - Melissa Perrin  Connect with Melissa Perrin:Website: www.firstunitedbank.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissalperrin/ Connect with Steve and Jason:LinkedIn: Jason or SteveWebsite: Rewire, Inc.: Transformed Thinking Email: grow@rewireinc.com  Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine TallaAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

TOP TAKEAWAYS:   We're in the middle of enormous shifts in both how we work and the balance of power between employer and employed. They're long overdue! They're also going to take consistent work, because pushback from the powers that be is inevitable. “Strategic rebels” make the difference.  There are far better ways to evaluate talent than old markers of “pedigree” — not only are they more inclusive (and more FUN!), but they have been wildly successful for the Rosies so far. What communication skills and strengths has your past given you? We hear beautiful stories about Stephanie's vibrant family and the turning point moment in her childhood that made her the communicator she is today. Mini-lesson: How to find your inner communication Strategic Rebel.

Using this experience, she has created a human-centered approach to marketing that celebrates diversity and facilitates happiness, while ensuring that We Are Rosie maintains integrity and authenticity every step of the way.

We knew going into it, that this show was going to be impactful, and it was exactly that. Both Brad and Michelle have amazing backgrounds that have led them to where they are today. When you listen to the podcast, be ready to pull out a map to track Brad's amazing background and upbringing, and then you'll be astonished to hear the longevity and growth that Michelle has had with Televerde. These two have the passion for supporting the growth of purpose driven companies in two areas that overlap through the entire conversation. The topics of mental health programs and supporting the growth opportunities for incarcerated women were the strong threads through the conversation. While talking about growing a purpose driven business it is important to also mention the importance of profit at that level as well. People, purpose, and profit can all thrive and grow at the same strong level. This is a principle that both Michelle and Kindra are familiar with through their work and alignment with Conscious Capitalism. This podcast is a great one for leaders to listen to. It is important to hear and understand the need for mental health programs to support employees. This is not a new topic but a topic that companies are not familiar with talking about, and they need to get over it. When it comes to the topic of diversity and inclusion, then the conversation of hiring previously incarcerated men and women in the workplace should be part of the conversation or companies are not truly hiring in a fully inclusive manner. This conversation was deep, honest, passionate, eye opening, and important to share. In the words of Brad's amazing late mother, “ The well being of everyone is dependent on the well being of everyone.” Culture Mindful is a workforce culture nurture and growth mindset coaching platform. Their future of work digital platform is designed upon proven methods to boost workforce performance, mental well-being, build team resiliency and nurture inspired teams. Brad Kewalramani is the Founder of Culture Mindful. He has a professional background in Talent, Culture & Employee Experience. He spent the first decade of his career in the recruitment and staffing agency space, was then headhunted for a leadership role in the home owner association management space, and most recently moved in to the space of office coffee services because he was fascinated to learn that companies justify the spend of money on coffee and snacks for culture. He is now on a mission to assist organizations cultivate culture mindful workplaces that supports performance and mental well-being. Connect with Brad on LinkedIn and follow Culture Mindful on Instagram. Michelle Cirocco is Chief Social Responsibility Officer for Televerde and the Executive Director of Televerde Foundation. She joined Televerde in 1999 and has held several leadership positions including Chief Marketing Officer. Michelle was recently named one of the World-Changing Women in Conscious Business by Conscious Company magazine. Her journey of transformation was also featured by Forbes in a two-part interview. Michelle is a strong customer champion with a tireless commitment to using business as a force for good. Michelle earned her MBA from Arizona State University where she also serves as an Advisory Board Member for the Center for Services Leadership. She holds multiple certifications from SiriusDecisions. Michelle is an avid TED fan and organized and hosted TEDxPerryvilleCorrectional, the first TEDx to be held in an Arizona prison. The event looked behind the curtain of incarceration to show the potential that exists in providing second chances. Michelle dedicates a significant amount of her free time giving back to her local community by volunteering for the Phoenix Rescue Mission and Athena International.

The Good News   Introducing Maren Keeley and Conscious Company Media Have you ever ended an experience of watching or reading the news only to feel more depressed than informed? There is no shortage of content out there (especially on the internet) that would leave a person feeling pretty down on the world. We don't want to reject reality, but we all know there are also a lot of great stories out there going underreported. This week's Boiling Point guest felt the same way about businesses doing positive things in the world and did something about it. Maren Keeley is the co-founder of Conscious Company Media, a content provider, which shares inspiring stories about business as a force for good. Maren knew that businesses that consciously account for all stakeholders are great vehicles to drive positive change.   She also knew that these types of positive businesses didn't have enough of a voice. So, not only does Conscious Company publishes a gorgeous magazine, but now are providing content across multiple platforms, offering webinars, publishing research papers, and are hosting an in-person conference later this year. Check out the good news on this episode of Boiling Point.   In this episode Stephen Kopp is back co-hosting with Greg. We are introduced to Maren and Conscious Company. Maren lets us in on the motivation to start a magazine. Greg tells us about his appetite for great smelling magazines. We hear about how a combination of great content and appealing design draws people to Conscious Company. We discuss how a copy of Conscious Company in your business's waiting room tells something about your company. There is a discussion of how people are seeking more positive news. Maren tells us about the feeling of hope for the future from many business leaders due to the younger generation. Greg tells us about a recent experience of sharing a positive story on Venezuela. Maren tells us not to deny the negative headlines, but to realize that these headlines don't necessarily inspire change to something better.
