A rich stroll through a wide realm of topics relating to grief with the brilliant Camille Sapara Barton. Topics include the dynamic balance of connection to spirit and to the material aspects of life; parents and their grown children, learning to enjoy one another; cultivating an intentional grief practice (ideally in community) and Cami's new book - Tending Grief. Picking up a thread for the conversation with Ayize Jama-Everett earlier this year, we talk about evil, and how this might relate to grief. Cami shares some of the cosmology and cultural elements of the Dagara tribe that inspired them as they wrote the book. They also share about the grief of uncertainty, and the mass loss of the Covid pandemic, and grieving things that have not yet come to an end, such as ongoing systemic oppression. We discuss joy and cultivating space for play, as part of grief tending. Cami imparts their experience with this work - that feeling one emotion opens them up to a greater depth of engagement with life and its full spectrum of feelings and experiences. We also hear sound guidance around finding spaces that can safely hold us in our grief. Links: https://camillesaparabarton.com/ https://camillesaparabarton.com/tending-grief-book/

We ‘privatise' so much about our lives that is actually shared, as if we were separate entities - like objects that bump into one another only occasionally. But it's an impoverished story that robs us of so much contact, depth and support. It might be much more accurate to say that instead of being like objects we are more like whirlpools in a river - constantly evolving processes that shape one another. If we saw ourselves and our relationships that way, perhaps we'd begin to wonder afresh about the power of cultural norms that encourage separateness, and the potential benefits of more open and contactful conversation about ourselves and our relationships with those around us.

Here's our source for this week: This Relationship is Ours One of the principles of the Dagara concept of a relationship is that it's not private. When we talk about “our relationship” in the village, the word our is not limited to two. And this is why we find it pretty hard to live in a relationship in a modern culture that is lacking true community. In the absence of community, two people are forced to say, “This relationship is ours,” when in fact, a community should be claiming ownership.

Camille Sapara Barton is a social imagineer who is reimagining how we define and relate to grief. As a writer, artist, and somatic practitioner, Camille is looking to create a new grief narrative expansive enough to include multiple forms of individual and collective grief, especially for queer, trans, and BIPOC communities. In Camille's book, Tending Grief, they offer rituals and embodied practices for feeling into and metabolizing grief.  Camille's lived experience with grieving death & non-death losses Support for grief that falls outside the traditional box Grief as a generative process Camille's learning from Dagara spiritual traditions and Sobonfu Somé Collective grief that comes out of displacement, colonization, and threats to queer & trans people around the world How we numb our grief and the cost of doing so The narrative Camille is hoping to create around grief Examples of embodied practices to tend grief  Be sure to check out Camille's new book, Tending Grief - Embodied Rituals for Holding Our Sorrow and Growing Cultures of Care in Community.

Culture can be a powerful tool for connecting people across different backgrounds and fostering understanding and empathy. In the podcast episode, Simma, Kaati, and Ashel provide examples of how sharing cultures can significantly role bring people together. Kaati shared her experiences in the music industry, promoting reggae and blues music across the world. Music festivals serve as diverse communities where people from various backgrounds come together to enjoy music.  Both guests share personal examples of how music can be a universal language that can transcend race, and connect individuals on a deeper level. They both say that music, as a cultural expression, can bridge gaps and create shared experiences among people from different cultural backgrounds.  Ashel told us a compelling story about using culture to connect and address conflicts. He described a musical event organized by a Jewish friend pre-October 7, to be held post-October 7, which was to include Hebrew songs. “My friend expressed anger and frustration about the situation in Israel and Palestine. Instead of dismissing his feelings, our community created a safe space for open dialogue and understanding. By incorporating Hebrew songs alongside Palestinian prayers at an event, we demonstrated how cultural elements can be used to facilitate conversations, build bridges, and promote reconciliation.”  Kaati mentioned her involvement in the birthing community, with different cultural practices and beliefs. “The birthing process serves as a space where cultural traditions and values are honored, showcasing how cultural diversity can be celebrated and respected in various aspects of life.” This episode of “Everyday Conversations on Race,” highlights how culture serves as a common ground for people to connect, share experiences, and foster empathy and understanding. By embracing cultural differences and engaging in meaningful conversations, individuals can use culture as a powerful tool to bridge divides and promote unity among diverse communities.

This podcast is a combination of two conversations I had with author and wisdom keeper Jojopahmaria Nsoroma.In part one Jojopah and I delve deep into embracing self-mastery, healing the pain body, and ascending to higher timelines. The conversation is an enlightening journey filled with wisdom and insights that we can all apply to our own lives.She shares her personal journey of transformation, from breaking free of the strong Black woman stereotype to reconnecting with her ancestral wisdom and the Dagara medicine wheel traditions. Her book, "Wisdom Walk to Self Mastery," serves as a guide for those seeking holistic healing beyond traditional talk therapy.During the episode, Jojopah explores the concept of timelines, highlighting the choice we have in determining which timeline - lower or higher octave - we want to embody. She emphasizes the power of connecting with our divine consciousness and serving our purpose with love and community-centered focus.Jojopah says: "We really are here to learn how to ascend in our consciousness during our lifetime. Where I start out as a child should not be where I I end up as an elder."In part two, Jojopah answers questions from the Mother Tree community about creating an altar, how ancestors differ from other divine helpers, and how to hold space for others rather than trying to save someone.Jojopah's BioJojopahmaria Nsoroma is the Owner and Steward of Higher Expectations Consulting Collaborative and The Wisdom Walk Institute for Self-Mastery.

Podcast: This week on the show we feature a pre-recorded conversation with Theresa Dintino, co-author of the newly published ebook, The Oscan Oracle: from the Ancient Janarra of the Moon. In this wide ranging and remarkable conversation, we discuss her latest book, the nature of lineage, Dagara Stick Divination as a way to connect people to their true lineages, cultural appropriation and ways to hold and practice an indigenous tradition, and the ethics of divination and interaction with non-corporeal beings. Theresa Dintino is the author of nine books and serves as a guide and spiritual mentor to many. While attempting to reclaim and restore her ancestral medicine lineage, the Italian Strega tradition, Dintino was surprised to be “claimed” by the West African Dagara tradition of stick divination. Honored by this invitation, Dintino pursued it, and in 2011 was initiated into this potent form of divination. Besides her family and daughter, this turned out to be the greatest gift of her life. Stick divination helped Dintino find her way back to her own lineage and enables her to help others find and restore theirs. This beautiful practice of Dagara stick divination continues to offer countless gifts. In multiple divination sessions, Dintino was taught about the spiritual membranes that protect, nurture, and inform lifesystems. More information about Theresa Dintino's work can be found at: Strega Tree Divination website: stregatree.com, The Ritual Goddess website: ritualgoddess.com, Nasty Women Writers website: www.nastywomenwriters.com.

Truth Fairy and Dr. T welcome Cami Barton, author and practitioner dedicated to social change through embodied practices, to the show. Truth Fairy reads a poem on pain by Kahlil Gibran that emphasizes the intertwining of pain and joy, suggesting that embracing pain can lead to a deeper understanding of life, which highlights many of the themes of Cami's work.Cami discusses their work in psychedelic therapy, grief, pleasure, and drug policy, rooted in black feminism and harm reduction. They share personal experiences, including an abortion in 2017 that sparked the project for their upcoming book, "Tending Grief: Embodied Rituals for Holding Our Sorrow and Growing Cultures of Care in Community". The book explores grief and healing rituals, drawing from Cami's journey and broader societal patterns.The conversation delves into Cami's work in designing a master's program, teaching psychedelic therapy, and collaborating with MAPS to ensure accessibility to MDMA psychotherapy for marginalized communities. Truth Fairy and Dr. T discuss various aspects of Cami's expertise and personal journey, including childhood trauma and the surfacing of dissociated memories during their healing process. It is a meditation on grief and healing that holds deep insight to benefit all listeners.“And so the Dagara people are indigenous to what we now call Burkina Faso in West Africa. And they have a very specific relationship to communal grief tending, where everyone in the community is expected to tend their grief in the communal ritual once a month because there's an understanding in their cosmology that unattended grief will actually become harm in the society. So rather than being taboo as it is in the West to grieve publicly and be with that, it's actually taboo to avoid your grief in the Dagara context.” - Cami Resources discussed in this episode:On Pain by Kahlil Gibran“Tending Grief: Embodied Rituals for Holding Our Sorrow and Growing Cultures of Care in Community” by Camille Sapara BartonWebsite: CamilleSaparaBarton.com---Punk Therapy: website |email

Please take a moment to listen to this episode about reconciliation and conflict resolution. Recording it was balm for my soul, and I hope it will be for yours too. In this week's conversation, I have the pleasure of introducing you to a dear friend and fellow medicine man, Ramsay Boly. As you'll experience, Ramsay has a strikingly peaceful presence and possesses the rare being of open-hearted warriorship. He is pure leadership – at least the kind that I can get behind! Since I met Ramsay 3 and a half years ago, I have been inspired by the way he lives his life, thinking carefully and deeply about things and putting his money where his mouth is. In addition to being a father, an avid meditator, and a certified Diviner by the Dagara tradition, Ramsay has also spent the better part of his life preparing for and studying the art of conflict resolution, mediation, and peace-making. In this episode, we go deeper into: What is restorative justice? What are some of the core elements of mediation? What gets in the way of successful mediations? What are some of the indigenous perspectives that underpin the way Ramsay approaches mediation? Why is the indigenous perspective important at this time? What is the importance of conflict? And much more!   I'm honored and truly privileged to be able to drop an episode like this in these times we're living in. At the end of this conversation, I felt happy to be alive and a co-creator of humanity's story.  Many of us are faced with seemingly impossible questions right now. How do we keep our hearts open? This episode addressed some of the deepest questions in my life at this moment.    If you'd like to connect with Ramsay, his website is www.re-delve.com.  And if you'd like to connect with me, you know where to find me! My website is www.vickyaldana.com. You can also email me at hello@vicky-aldana.com, and my Instagram is @vickylizette.

In this episode, Erica shares about facing disappointment and feeling difficult emotions. Topics she mentions are: compassion, suffering, love, acceptance, rejection, disappointment, accepting “no”, showing up for ourselves and others through the experience of feelings, helping children feel their feelings, and breaking up with pity. She also mentions the ancestral and cultural traumas of the last 110 years and how these generational wounds led us away from allowing the natural state of emotions to exist. Erica muses about the Dagara (and perhaps many other indigenous peoples) being the past and the future of human exist on Earth. This episode is raw and personal and she drops several F bombs so wear headphones if you're listening around children.  If you enjoyed this episode, please consider sharing, subscribing, and leaving a review on iTunes Podcast.    Resources Brené Brown's Unlocking Us podcast Spotify  Chris Germer on The Near and Far Enemies of Fierce Compassion https://open.spotify.com/episode/5ZpT5ptugDKfec3R9VRiCW?si=ea57bd1404b84ab8  Dr. Marc Brackett on Permission to Feel https://open.spotify.com/episode/6fL2uT9nJRUsWcRqlKgXuS?si=FsFjmBTDSJOijzfMPBRiGg   Chris Germer's article Near and Far Enemies of Fierce Compassion https://mbsr.website/news/near-and-far-enemies-fierce-compassion  Marie Forleo Time Genius Program https://www.marieforleo.com/time-genius Images of the Dagara Tribe https://www.dagaralegacy.com    Stay Connected Erica Thibodeaux, MS, LPC Website: ericathibodeaux.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@originsofthesoul929/videos  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/originsofthesoul  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ancientsoul_modernmind_podcast/     Music Credits: Intro and Outro music: Liberty Kohn, https://instagram.com/libertykohn/ and Erica Thibodeaux   Ancient Soul, Modern Mind Podcast is available on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher and all other podcast listening platforms.

Hi, I'm Mike Cuevas to real estate marketing. And this podcast is all about building a strong personal brand people have come to know, like trust and most importantly, refer. But remember, it is not their job to remember what you do for a living. It's your job to remind them. Let's get startedWhat's up ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this episode of the real estate marketing dude, podcast, folks we're gonna get in today it is fourth quarter.A lot of people are going into hiding right now I'm gonna talk to someone who's not. As the market continues to retract, this guy gets louder and louder and louder. And in all honesty, that's what you need to do in this type of market. Look, I understand 90% of you have never seen a shift before in your industry. In this business. We've been spoiled for the last 12 to 14 years. But although some things may be a little slow right now, it's the stuff that you're going to do today that's going to pay off in the first quarter of next year. Because what's going to happen mark my words folks have been saying for the last four fucking months is that a lot of people are gonna go out of business and the ones who are still standing, they're going to wreak it all. And one of the ways that you're going to do that is by out branding everybody. And I saw a stat this morning this afternoon actually watch what a Jeff Pitzer his videos and his numbers are right on he goes, he goes look, Walston, 1% of people are actually like content creators. 9% of people slightly engaged and the 90% of people just fucking sit there and watch on social media. And it's like, which game do you want to play when you own the attention? And when people naturally just like you're everywhere all the time? Nothing but good happens. And that's what we're going to get into today? How do you take an omnipresent approach, specifically on video and be everywhere all the time? And then how do you use that to build your brand and build a business recruiting a client attraction, it's all the same thing. There's a reason why the most popular agents are always the ones who do the most businesses because they have the most eyeballs or attention. And that's the number one name in the game in real estate. Everyone's selling the same shit. So the one they think of first 85% of the time, that's who's gonna win the deal. So without further ado, we're going to introduce the number one or number two team in California.The top team in California this year, Sydney, it's just a neat Agra. Well, let's welcome back, dude. Yes, happy to friggin be here, man. Let's go. And I love the intro. And it's great. Like all that, like, whatever success I have, which may be something maybe that thing?Is my outlook on this comes from learning from you, brother. Appreciate that. Why don't you fucking send us some damn business, bro. Like, let's go. Alright, soI want to tee this up. Because I've known suneet Before he like, right when he got licensed like Sunnite is probably you know, you're on a lot of stages. Right now you're on you're doing getting called on a lot of events, because he's doing a very high volume. How many appointments did your isa team set last month was like 596? No, last month was down by a fucking lot last month was only like 660. And normally we're like, 7030. And these are appointments. So your agents are going on? And then you know, pitching the services and what not. So that's great. But we're gonna backtrack this because with the amount of success and neat has, you would assume that he's been doing this for 15 or 20 years? He hasn't. Okay. So neat. I remember meeting Sunnite for the first time in a club wealth event. I like to say it was in 2016. That's right. I think just about six years ago, and sunny corners me at the bar. Hey, Mike, how do you run these? How do you run these Facebook ads? Right? Tell me how I'm running all these Facebook ads and Sunnite was all bug big I'd big bug I'd like a little kid just brand new and a candidate.Since then, bro, you're just absolutely dominated. I'm really proud of what you've done and what you've built thanks up there in Sacramento. And I want to unpack it all.Because I you're creating a lot of video content. So I didn't let sneak talk yet. So let's go ahead and introduce a neat right here. And we're gonna lay this up because I want to get into specifically what's happened since you started creating a lot of content. And I want to talk about what's happened with brand and stage presence and all this other stuff. So can you tell everyone who's got your arms? They don't know yet. So I've been licensed for eight years, and I met you two years and my first real estate eventever. And it was really like pivotal. It was the night of the election and I met him and then like they're totally bug eyed and likelike I was hungry and I cornered everybody I said let me buy you a fucking drink beer for my Cuevas. You did let me buy you Let me buy you a beer dude. And let's sit down and talk about Dell or some shit. And let's let's sit there and talk through that journey. You know, like it's all the same stuff.that you always hear about. I listen to books, I immerse myself in education. You know, I was a labcoat agents like rat, you know really learned a lot there learned a lot from you, Mike. And you know, like, there was a time guys, I listened to every fucking podcast Mike had done at that point, back to back to back to back and I absorbed it all. And I did that every day. I quit listening to music. I started a team two years in my sixth year as a real as a licensed real estate agent. I was number fucking one in the state of California.Six years in, and now do I sound like I'm proud of that good, because I am. Right. Like, like, that was a big feat. And, you know, I was able to grow my business through relationships, something that Mike says all the time. Now I'm one of the you know, largest, or I have a huge coaching business. Now, I don't know where I rank, but top 10 For my coaching business, and I'm on a stage like, two times a month.Remember me on stage, bro is I get like nervous. And I used to be like, we used to ask me, Hey, do you want to speak like, for what? How am I gonna talk aboutthat. Now he's doing keynotes. But a lot of this is brand, right?Right. And people confuse what brand is like, Hey,folks, if you don't, you have to put yourself out there if you're gonna grow brand, and I don't believe you could grow brand without content or success. It's either one or the other, you either have something you've did, that's very impressive that everyone wants to know how you did it. Or you create a shitload of content. I don't care about your success or not. When you do a little bit of both, it just goes lights out, which is what's the needs doing. But let's start to the very beginning, I want to go through your recruiting quite a bit. You're building your team. You guys gotta remember when you're recruiting, you're also recruiting other buyers and sellers and clients too, because it's all the same thing. It's a giant popularity competition. Most people probably most of your clients probably don't even know you're creating recruiting content. They just see a real estate guy on video. And they're like, oh, shit, they for all? You know, for all they know, you're probably talking about interest rates.Yeah, well, I mean, we do have that content, too. I don't post that often. But yes, yes. I mean, it's just somebody sounding smart talking about something. Yep. And that's what video does, guys, it positions you as the expert whether or not you know what you're doing. Right. And the more of it you have, the more authority you grow. The more authority you have, the more people that listen to what the hell you say. And then the more people listen what you say the more conversations you're having them were compensated and more business leads to. So walk me through your strategy right now. What are you guys doing?What's your video strategy? Cuz I know you're cutting up a lot of short form, I want to go through short form and long form why short form right now?Sostrategy? Yeah, like, why are we? Why are you going so hard? It's short form right now. And what's it? Let's start. So you started off doing long form. And but you've adapted to know we still do long form we, I mean, we were doing remember five long form a week and it just brutal it just murdering everybody. And that's how I came into this. You were telling me to do content. And we did a years and years and content. And you showed me the ropes. Were sure and still helped us out still to this day. And we did do long form? five a week. And that's and you told me yo bro, that's up. And you're right. But I still did I go you're gonna burn yourself out on it. Yeah, well, I never got burned out. I don't know. But, but I want to go back to five days for the platform a week when nobody else does. So then, you know, shortform gets more and more popular. We started out with Instagram stories. We never fuck with Snapchat, tick tock and reels. And I saw a big opportunity with reels. And I mean, it's a bunch of talking heads with captions like it's getting messy. But you know what? Like, I got fucking what 2.5 million views on a video right now. What was the content on that? Talking about using Jasper? Interesting. Some don't You don't know like some people some videos that you would use the least the ones you expect? Go crazy. And the ones you think are gonna do? Well, don't you just don't know. You just gotta be consistent. What's it? How important is that?Oh, everything I post like, here's the thing. Do I have a big media team now? I have one due to the US. I work with my team. And I got it for vas. We also produce, you know, 20 to 30 pieces of content per day. I have probably 10 plus different platforms that we're pushing content to. I'm just about to start a whole nother brand for my mortgage company.For everything that's that we're doing so we're pushing all you know, like, so the team is producing that. I go to the gym every day, unless I'm traveling.Every day when I'm in between a setSo when I'm doing my warm up, do my warm up or walking over to the weights, I fucking grab one of my videos from my Monday board or my slack channel. And I personally write that little copy on my note bag, copy, paste, you know, sometimes I do it differently, but every morning from the gym, it's religious.Think before you go further doing enough, but go ahead. Before you go forward this is important is that so many people want you to post for me, I always tell them you can't outsource authenticity, you can't have someone post for you many times, it's a lot of times it's very hard to actually get track. Get success with that, because people know it's not you. Like you could just tell by the lead into the post and the content you're writing if you don't post your own stuff. I'm huge on that. Like, I hate when I can't have people post for me because it's like, I have some I'm one of them. I'm like my IG channel my gal will post for me, I'm like, What the fuck was that? I would never say that. Yeah, I mean, so for the, you know, for short form shore.Long Form I've let other people have some liberties with that sometimes. And on mybusiness pages across with four different brands, three different brands right now not Sunil Agarwal, but every other brand that we have instance for our Facebook pages forother people are doing those manual posts, which is fine because I mean, it's not necessarily my face, always but my personal page, which is by far my personal profile, my fucking normal Facebook page, folks, not some business page. When are people gonna get it through their mind? They got to spend money for anybody to see that shit. Right? Crazy 2022 Man, that's like, it's like, having a Facebook business page means absolutely nothing like congratulations.But like on my personal page 100% I turned my Instagram into a creator account. So I could have I could run ads off of it and get more insights. And I'm in my personal Instagram, too it's become a fucking goldmine.Now what what do youyour big pushes is building your team right now. Right? You got a lot of leverage. How is a recruiting play into this? And how do you attract other agents to come join you or see what you're doing and all the above? So, you know, I have I'm very fortunate to where you know, I have this tremendous coaching business with my mentor John Shep lac. So I'm very fortunate of that. And I also recruit and I want every agent in my MLS to hang their license under me in some capacity. Like that's the only goal are you doing it? All of them all of them not I want to present I want Bucky all of them right and coaching business because I really that's fulfilling for me.And how's recruiting going off ofhow is recruiting going on Instagram right now? Well, for people who are sitting at home, they may not be able to see this but I have a picture I have a picture from yesterday. Where is it? I don't know. There's a picture from yesterday that I have where my one of my recruiters says please send out these two contracts went through this one woman went to this one man we track the source guess what both sources were yesterday. IGInstagram Yeah.I like it. Now how are you reaching people though? Because like you just mentioned you have your organic reach and then you have your paid reach so for any broker owner that or team leader all you real and exp peoplelisten to what he's gonna say right like what he's gonna say right here so what why are you how are you getting these people? How are you reaching them? Are you running ads you uploading CSV list? Are you doing it?Soa bulk of all those results is organic, always from my consistency. So let me give everybody a little piece of free advice and you could always pay me if you want more advice I can send you the link after the call.We take American Express Visa and MasterCard yes gladly prefer not to take a max but I'll take it theYour first stepis organiccan consistently people always want to rush to spend money and hey, I used to be that guy and you know that there's still some money out there source of money at the organic will shit on the paid 99% of the time. Yep. The hard part is tell them why that is though. Before you go there tell them why that is organic will always outperform paid the vast majority time. Why is that? I think it's because people already know like and trust you and you're a celebritywellAll right and getting that out paid people see your little fucking sponsored ad in the left in the left corner. It still happens.Butorganic, always wins in every piece of business. And I kicked and screamed, always went for paid traffic always went for the paid solution.And organic. I'm finally realizing this now in my in my career, my history as a marketer. Novice to not pretty fucking professional, right? Is I always went paid fuck organic, I'll just cut I'll just cut the line. No, bro like organic wins. So paid strategy.As a matter of fact, depending on when this is published, I'm doing an event in two weeks where we talk about how to do our paid strategy, the growth mode mastermind.com, December 1 and second in Vegas, where we're going to sit in a workshop and actually build out all the campaigns that where I'm going next. And this is, this is the game changer for me. So if the listeners still aren't doing this, then I've stopped. I don't know what I'm telling you. So I pull every list.Everybody in my CRM, I use follow up boss.I think it's great. I transfer the people from follow up boss to through witley to Facebook Ads Manager, right Willie done that shout out to my boy grant wise.Regardless, I get the information, I get the data out of out of the CRM and enter Facebook. Right Whitley's, the easiest way to do that you do the manual should do if you got a bunch of time, I download the agent list.Right? And I also submitted a make that a Facebook audience. I have many other audiences. But I think those two is this where you start just to keep it easy for everybody. And then I'm going to run a couple of social media campaigns using Facebook Ads Manager, Instagram, and Facebook. And I am going to run them as engagement ads, optimizing for through plays. Andreally, you know, I might do like go to website but it's not a legion. Its engagement. Its brand awareness. It's actually video views. The trick with video views Mike and I wished we'd been doing this longer. And I'm sure you know, but for the good for the viewers.Back in the long form days, we would like water like retarget based on through plays, or somebody watched 25% of the video fucking amazing, right? But now when you got short form, like my amount of 2550 100% views is monstrous.So I need to build that audience. First is those video view audience at the same time at the same audience? I'm running static pictures. Like we're the best agents in town, that the best commission plans different ones for different campaigns. Are you are you running engagement on those two are that's a straight click decider conversion.engagement.Engagement, I want that that's the top of funnel shit which, right.And I'm also running another campaign, another two campaigns, testimonials for our consumers and testimonials bar. He doesn't do best 100% Those who do best but I want them in a different? Well, it's in a different ad set sometimes. Right? It's a different campaign sometimes. But I think it could be as the same. I just want there to be good mix. So what he's doing here, you guys he's he's creating content that gets more eyeballs on it, because he's he's setting up for the play action. So what's part two of this stunning? The part two? Is that conversion? Yep. So and I'd be curious to what what you think about this is now that we're running short form, and we're getting so many longer views? Do you still do 25%? Or do you go like, I could have a great audience of people who watch the whole fucking video sometimes on an 18 second video. So I'm I don't know what the what, here's where I get selfish on the podcast episode is what do you do for video views? Like what what likeI have, so it's a good point. So like, here's one of the things that that like I see on some on our videos, the shorter the video, the higher the view content just because of the watch time that gets pushed through the algorithm. So like it's like, against if you're going on short form, it's actuallymore likely not I won't say hurting all videos good, but it's hurting you more than if less if I were to post a 62nd video versus a 10 second video, I guarantee that 10 second video, just way outperforms the 62nd because it's all based on the consumption of the content. So what's the nits? doing here is these is where like explain this is like think of like football play action pass. Right and really what we're doing in actionbucking play action pass. Well, we gotta get we got it. We got it. I thought you said you're in the gym. I thought you know some of these analogies by now. Yes, yeah. Yeah, so play action. Let me let me just do get elementary here for Mr. Nan sporto here Sunnitea play action as you set up in football, they set up the run, they do a handoff, handoff, handoff, three in a row, and they run the same play just to set up the past so that the defense bites in on it. So it's no different. This is content marketing one on one guys, you create a lot of content, and the people that start watching it are raising their hands for you to sell them their shit. That's why it's like a one two approach. So in the play auction, you get them to bite on the run. So you could open up the paths in the same case with this is that we're creating a lot of content up front was creating a lot of engagement and he's doing it on consumption because the people that are consuming more of his content are more likely to engage in React to him. And what he's really doing is case that casting out a wide net of people raising their hands. Part two, he's going in for the killer the past and he's gonna score a touchdown. Now he can pitch them their stuff because they already have an idea what what he does for a living because that's sort of what you're getting so yes, but I'm so I'm curious as part to a lead magnet or schedule a call. It could be any of the above I've been having a lot of success running five different retargeting campaigns once testimonials once frequently asked questions, once pricing once how it works. And the ones that chose different ads in the same ad for different videos and the same ad set, all running and rotating in between. And they're just objection handlers. They're the same videos that should be on the core pages of your website. Andkeep going, Okay, well, no, then so then you're on, you're getting the video views off of those off of those ads. So there's, I have a couple trains of thought on this. I haven't been running, I'm running. I have a different here's, here's my personal opinion. I'm going to try. I'm not running engagement on my first run. I'm running website clicks. And the reason why I'm running website clicks is because people actually click off Facebook are more interested in what I have to say than not. Yes, I'll have a higher targeted list. No, the cold list. No, it's targeted.Hard good. We're getting really geeky on this. All right. Everyone's like oh, we might have to mastermind about this but after but here's the point guys is that you have to what's your building an audience right? And the more people whether they're agents or consumers that know it's a neat does, the more opportunities he's gonna have. That's I mean, that's it. It's a popularity contest at the end of the day. Now Sunday let's just go let's just retract this let's just pretend you never got on video before and mean you're having a one on one consultation right now and I'm trying to talk you into getting on video What do you think the difference is with your brand right now and your successwhat if you were let's say you never did video before how big of an impact has it made you think you're huge Are you kidding me? No, I wouldn't be anywhere recruiting business coaching none of it when firms someone first meet you what's the first impression? Oh I seem is Do you feel that different? I fucking see you everywhere dude. Yes. And what does that mean you were what there have soldmost times they already know like and trust me do like like they are they are ready when an agent comes in they just want to say oh well let you know that I see you everywhere I say I know you're supposed toquit clicking on my shitwhyI lost my train of thought let me think about let me think back about that. But when your agents are coming in to the office like that difference in like positioning is huge guys like I people like I've been running a lot of ads like I'm in middle in between some services and some recreation of my own but same thing like when people come in or do I see you everywhere it's the first thing that people say I see you ever I see you everywhere and it's such an easy attention getter but why why what struggles people from doing this because mean you talking about this like you hear your mentor Chuck black talk about it grant why he's talking about everyone in their mothers like get on video get on video, but less of like one or 2% of agents are actually doing it. What the hell's the whole day? What are your agents say?For me, too, it's so good. We'll be I'm Chris our content guy here. We're a look. You can count fucking film a video every day for free. Trust me, we don't have much left to say anymore. Right? Like, we're like past that.Oh, great. They even sign up but they don't show up. 100%And the biggest thing I went to people going How long did it take you to start seeing results cuz that's also the biggest hurdle is like people think that it's instant. Like instant credibility. It's like no, dude, this takes three to six months to start building but and that's if you're doing a pretty damn good job at it. But it's the long play you guys you have to work on your business, not necessarily in it. Why do real estate agents need Instagram?vacations so much. I have my own opinion. But why do they have to feel like they're getting leads? Because the reality is that a real estate agent would rather buy 300 leads that they'll never call, then start doing a bunch of videos that 300 of their friends commented on. And no one understood why I was that guy. You we had this conversation, folks, I always knew video was important. And I did little half assed and Mikesell Dude, what the fuck are you doing you guys, your listeners to this podcast? joining the club. Me too. But you got to start listening to what these people say. Like I don't know why why people need instant gratification. I remember my my my mom be explaining that to me when I probably did something bad, right? LikeI mean, he'll look. I want to make money now. I also want to make money tomorrow. And the more shit I can do today, that makes me money tomorrow, well, then a fuck. Good. I'm still making money now just have that mindset, bro. Like,I don't know, I don't think I don't think a lot of people know what it feels like to be cracked. When will when you be a lot of opportunities, I sure have come your way out of the content you're creating, like, that's the best part is like, when you start creating, we have people all the time that get picked up on the news. They get pitched forassaulting every fucking day to like I, you know, like six coaching calls today and get opened another business. And it got approached by another business with a seat with a route with a celebrity, like a TV star in real estate today, right. And we had other ships. So it's everything compounds. And it's just the you know, like I was listening to Hermoza yesterday. And he's all and I've been saying this to like, as the marketchanges. I want insulation. And attention is my fucking installation. And I can control the amount of Yes, I can control the amount of attention I get by doing the damn work. Do I spend money on it? Yeah, but not a lot. I don't have to I use the big view free app or a puppet VSL I did this week. With a big view in the corner. I don't give a fuck, right. And so what what her mosey said was attention is the new oil. Yes. And dude, he's he's right. Like, it's the, it is harder and harder to get. And there is a limited amount and you gotta fucking dig for it. Let's go through ROI on video. It's the biggest pet peeve like how's this gonna pay off? Like, let me just give you guys a real simple formula. Tell me if you agree with us? How's this video gonna pay off? Well, let's just not say let's do 100 videos this year, let's just say let's do eight videos a month, it's a lot more easier for us to get our head around that. Now, if you were to do eight videos a month and you're able to post all of those eight videos on IG Facebook reels, IG reels, tick tock YouTube shorts and just that's just short form content. And you were to do eight months and eat what would be the number of total views, you would anticipate me having to throw a number out there? It doesn't matter. It's irrelevant. Oh god. 40,000 Okay, now of those 40,000 views 20,000 college 20,000 I will say, let's say 20,000. So of those 20,000 views, okay, let's say that they're divided up between, let's say 800 people.Of those 800 people 10 to 15% of them are moving this year and 100% of them have a referral for you. Yeah, this is mathematical guys. This isn't theory that we're talking about. It's just that 80 plus percent of them are going to hire the first one they think of or meet with. I was doing a stat the other day and everyone's like, Oh, I'm gonna go up against so many agents in a listing presentation. Guess how many sellers actually interviewed more than two agentsdo like not a lot less than 1% Guess how many sellers interviewed it knows three or more. It was like 3% Enter interview two and over 80% of AD AD to any foreign in 79% of sellers at different age brackets hired the first day in person they met with so when sneetches said is gold guys he says attention is the new oil 100% It is because without that attention you don't get the opportunity to pitch your shit somebody else does.

Fascynujący szamański świat od ponad dwustu lat stanowi przedmiot zainteresowania nie tylko antropologów, ale również przedstawicieli innych dziedzin nauki.- Ślady szamańskich rytuałów odnaleziono na całym świecie. Dla niektórych to prastare, prymitywne praktyki wywodzące się z kultur zbieracko-łowieckich, które można badać tak jak bada się wykopaliska. Dla innych szamanizm to matka i podstawa wszystkich religii – czytamy na stronie robertrient.plW poszukiwaniu szamańskich rytuałów odwiedziliśmy plemię Dagara w Burkina Faso i plemię Shipibo w Peru. Poznaliśmy ceremonię ayahuasca, ale też wiele roślin leczniczych i tych, które wpływają na świadomość.Gościem Jerzego Jopa był Robert Rient, dziennikarz, reportażysta i pisarz, autor powieści: „Chodziło o miłość” i „Duchy Jeremiego”, reportażu „Świadek” i książki „Przebłysk” o podróży dookoła świata.

WHY MOVEMENT HEALS with BERNADETTE PLEASANT     “Healing happens by being witnessed.” – Bernadette Pleasant     Episode Summary:     Have you ever experienced the ecstasy of a wild, shake-it-all-out dance? Have you watched someone dance as if no one is watching?   Today we chat with Bernadette Pleasant a somatic healer, sacred grief facilitator, and creator of well-loved mind-body wellness programs using sound and movement.  Bernadette believes "there are no good, bad, light, or dark emotions; only emotions that need to be fully expressed."   Bernadette is a vibrant, sensual speaker who connects with those who have been silenced and shut down, to support their physical, emotional, and healing journeys.   Listen in to hear Bernadette describe the many way to express, honor and release what no longer serves you with sound and movement.       Topics We Discuss: [4:22] How trauma gets held in our bodies, and how Bernadette provides a safe space to move through it to a new place.   [8:24] How you know you need release – sarcasm, irritability, avoidant isolation, boredom.   [11:42] Discomfort of growth. Fear needs to be fed (shopping, eating, binge-watching).   [13:36] The healing power of dance vs other movements (yoga, walking).   [16:32] Why drums are so healing. The first sound you heard was the heartbeat of the womb -- a safe space to move and grow.   [19:44] Bernadette's growth experience while pole dancing. Releasing the voices of shame and judgment and finding joy and freedom.   [23:04] Talk therapy vs. other modes of healing -- sound, breathwork, dance. Allowing the experience to be messy.   [28:10] Bernadette's intuitive process with clients. Patience, curiosity and compression allow the softening.   [32:55] The Dagara tribe of Burkina Faso in West African practices grieving routinely to navigate and release with big emotions without shame.         FOLLOW BERNADETTE PLEASANT:   Bernadette is creator of well-loved mind-body wellness programs, including Femme!, the Emotional Institute, Emotion in Motion, What Wasn't Said and Sacred Silence. The Emotional Institute offers courses, classes, and how-to videos that broaden the understanding and expression of our full range of emotions. In the 90-minute Femme! experience, Bernadette creates a safe space for people of all ages, genders, and body types to explore their emotional selves. Everyone is empowered to fully embrace and embody all of their emotions — and express them through sound and movement. Joy, sorrow, rage, confidence, desire, and more are all welcomed at Femme!   Whether in a classroom, on a podium, or in one-on-one private sessions, find out more at her website and on Instagram.         SUPPORT DR.

Join us for the second half of the beautiful, insightful, deep, and psyche-awakening conversation with Tudor Marinescu.  Many of us grew up feeling very disconnected from my surroundings. Wondering where we belong, where we come from, as wandering souls. This podcast was generated out of a message to find the elders, to connect with them and get the stories, to start to understand and return to our roots. It was a deep, deep honor to welcome Tudor Marinescu, MD, PhD, Co-Founder of A New Earth Movement (ANEM) on this week's episode. We discuss what he has come to realize and learn  through his training in the indigenous world and how it has impacted his life (and how it has the ability to profoundly impact yours). We're exploring: Looking for the essence of pure wisdom Living in limitation and control of dictatorship Healing wounds of ancestors, transgenerational wounds and the wounds of past lives The importance of ritual and ceremony Connection to the ancestors, our gateway to the other world The importance of valuing our elders   To learn more about Tudor Marinescu and the movement he and his wife co-founded, visit https://anewearthmovement.org.   Sign up for the newsletter via the website to learn more about the virtual and in-person events A New Earth Movement hosts.   To learn more about me & my coaching practice, please visit www.vickyaldana.com.  You can also reach out to me directly at hello@vicky-aldana.com or follow me on my instagram, @vickylizette.

In this episode, Erica and Genevieve discuss what it means to walk a medicine path with “militancy” as their elders before them have encouraged. It's likely not the painful drudgery that you think it might be! They share about listening to the inner nudge before it becomes a slap in the face or worse, a bus barreling down on you to get your attention. They also share their experiences in surrendering their lives to Spirit. This episode is packed with beauty, wisdom, and experience.

Podcast: This week on the show we feature a pre-recorded conversation with Theresa Dintino, author of the newly published book, Membranes of Hope: A Guide to Attending to the Spiritual Boundaries that Keep Life Systems Healthy from the Personal to the Cosmic. The membrane is a permeable boundary with intelligence and discernment that allows in or keeps out that which it senses is appropriate for the lifesystems within it. Spiritual, etheric, or bioenergetic membranes encase and enclose lifesystems, from the cells in our bodies to the cosmos around us. They contain, protect, and inform our personal souls, families, villages, the Earth, and extend out into the universe. The role of the spirit worker has always been to tend to, support, and keep these membranes strong and supple so that what is held within them not only survives but thrives. In this book, Theresa defines this revolutionary concept and offers the reader tools to learn how to engage in this work at any level they wish to participate. Theresa Dintino is the author of eight books and serves as a guide and spiritual mentor to many. While attempting to reclaim and restore her ancestral medicine lineage, the Italian Strega tradition, Dintino was surprised to be “claimed” by the West African Dagara tradition of stick divination. Honored by this invitation, Dintino pursued it, and in 2011 was initiated into this potent form of divination. Besides her family and daughter, this turned out to be the greatest gift of her life. Stick divination helped Dintino find her way back to her own lineage and enables her to help others find and restore theirs. This beautiful practice of Dagara stick divination continues to offer countless gifts. In multiple divination sessions, Dintino was taught about the spiritual membranes that protect, nurture, and inform lifesystems.
