Steve Schlafman is using a $20 ChatGPT subscription to expand his consciousness.He's doing this through:Advanced dream work—Steve records himself talking about his dreams every morning, uploads the transcript to ChatGPT, and prompts the LLM to analyze it like a Jungian dream analyst would. The model pulls out archetypes and hidden emotions that he would've been oblivious to.Creating living records of meaningful experiences—Instead of losing key insights from therapy or coaching, Steve uses the LLM to highlight emotional patterns, pick out recurring symbols, and build a personal growth timeline.Leaning into voice interfaces—Diagnosed with ADD as a child, Steve often lost track of ideas because his brain processed information faster than he could type or write it out. AI voice interfaces free him to process information in a way that's more natural to him.Steve is a former VC-turned-executive coach and the founder of Downshift, the “decelerator” for founders and executives. If you think this episode is too “woo” for your liking, Steve argues that you might be over-indexing on just one way of experiencing the world. We see the world through four windows: thinking, sensing, feeling, and imagining—and according to him, the last two are often ignored. So if your rational mind has always run the show, Steve invites you to let your feelings and imagination take the lead.This is a must watch for anyone interested in using AI to understand themselves better—and grow.  If you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share! Want even more?Sign up for Every to unlock our ultimate guide to prompting ChatGPT here: https://every.ck.page/ultimate-guide-to-prompting-chatgpt.

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news the global economy seems to be settling back into a low growth phase on the back of the sharp rise in policy uncertainty in the US.But first, in the week ahead we will get our December trade balance update and data on building permits for January. And the first of the quarterly data sets building for our March 19 GDP result for Q4-2024 will come in, this one recording the construction work completed in the quarter. All relatively minor. There will also be another full dairy auction on Wednesday.Internationally the week will end with the US non-farm payrolls report for the US, for February (where a modest gain of +133,000 is now expected), more US PMI data plus factory order data. Tariff action may well overshadow these however. In Europe it will be all about their ECB decisions (expect a -25 bps rate cut), and inflation updates. Australia will release Q4-2024 GDP results, and trade balance data, as will Canada and China.Over the weekend China released its February PMI data and it was not negative. Their official factory PMI shifted back to a very minor expansion (although that is probably being generous). Their services sector is also officially expanding, also minor.And minor as well was the rise in South Korean exports, much less than expected in February. This came off the back of the unexpected January slump, one that was deeper than first reported. Although South Korean export growth been generally trending lower for about a year now, so have their imports, and that allowed them to report their second highest current account surplus ever.India reported Q4-2024 GDP results and those came in at a +6.2% rate, better than the +5.6% in Q3, but just missing analyst estimates of +6.3%.In the US, the widely watched PCE inflation level came in at 2.5% for January, down from 2.6% in December, and back to November's level. (The US CPI rate for January was 3.0%.) From a year ago, personal disposable incomes were up +1.8% and personal expenditures up +3.0%, so this isn't tracking in a favourable direction now. People will notice that and take household budget actions, such as increasing debt or cutting spending. When uncertainty levels are high, spending cutbacks are the more likely.The sharp jerk in trade policy direction has brought sharp changes in American commercial behaviour. First there was a large spike in imports, up 12%, driving their merchandise trade deficit to a mammoth -$US$153 bln in January. That is an all-time record and by a country mile.Secondly, American wholesale inventories jumped in January, especially for consumer goods which were up +2.1% from a year ago. Retail inventories rose even faster, up +5.1%.The Chicago PMI, which was in deep contraction over the December/January period recovered in February, but it is still contracting, just less so.The Trump administration designated importing timber a "national security issue" justifying new tariffs. They also said XRP (Ripple), SOL (Solana), and ADA (Cardano) would be in their new US crypto strategic reserve, jumping the prices of almost all cryptos including bitcoin (and their own personal wealth).North of the border, the good Canadian data continues. This time it is their Q4-2024 GDP growth rate, up +2.6% from a year ago, better than the Q3-2024 growth of +2.2%, and much better than the expected Q4 rate of +1.9%. Driving the rise was rising household spending, rising exports, and rising business investment. Of course, things for Q1-2025 are much more uncertain, although it will be interesting to see the echo of the 'Buy Canadian, Bye Americans' movement on their GDP. Perhaps it may give a Q1 fillip?Global air travel is rising fast. International passenger travel rose +12.4% in January from the same month in 2024. That makes it an all-time high, eclipsing pre-pandemic levels. Asia/Pacific travel rose more than +20%.Meanwhile air cargo traffic rose +3.2% on the same basis, although up +7.5% in the Asia/Pacific region.We should probably note that the coal price has fallen to a four year low, and back to prices it first achieved in 2016. And not only are oil prices lower, there are falls too for zinc, lead and nickel too, all core indicators of global factory demand. Lithium is also having trouble getting back up off the canvas.The UST 10yr yield is at 4.20%, down -3 bps from Saturday at this time, down -22 bps for the week as risk aversion takes hold.The price of gold will start today at just under US$2857/oz and up +US$12 from Saturday. A week ago it was at US$2938/oz so a -US$81 drop since then.Oil prices are little-changed, still just under US$70/bbl in the US but the international Brent price is still just under US$73/bbl. Both prices are -US$1 lower than a week ago.The Kiwi dollar is now at 55.9 USc and down -10 bps from Saturday. That is a -160 bps drop in a week. Against the Aussie however we are still little-changed at 90.2 AUc. Against the euro we are also little-changed at 53.9 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today just on 66.2, unchanged from Saturday, down -100 bps for the week.The bitcoin price started today at US$91,401 and up a net +9.2% from this time Saturday on the US crypto reserve news. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been high at +/- 3.6%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.

Watch this episode on YouTube.Slow is smooth, smooth is fast, and soulful impact happens when we slow down enough to live and lead from the deeper truth inside.We are so addicted to speed in our culture. It's the water that we swim in. This is especially the case in the world of entrepreneurship — i.e. “Do More Faster” or “Move Fast and Break Things.”I love going fast when that's what is called for. But too much of anything — even a good thing — gets out of balance.Slowing down can be really hard to do when you're programmed to believe that moving fast equals success, and operating from a consciousness of scarcity and threat. But taking the time to slow down in a mindful, intentional, and soulful way is key to discovering and embodying the deeper truth of who we really are.And it's only after we've done that that we become truly unstoppable.My guest on today's episode is an incredible example of this.Steven Schlafman is the founder of Downshift, the world's first decelerator — helping high performers slow down in times of professional transition.Formerly a partner at a New York Venture Capital firm, Steve (aka Schlaf) was forced to wake up and slow down due to a lack of sustainability in his own lifestyle.Now 10 years into a deep journey of self-healing and self-discovery, I believe Steve and Downshift are poised for a greater level of genuine impact, success, fulfillment and freedom than anything that the prior version of Steve could have imagined.And I that's a direct result of the consciousness and soul-rooted place that he and his team are leading from.--Links & Resources* Follow Brooks on YouTube, Instagram, or LinkedIn* Soulful Impact: soulfulimpact.co* Downshift: Apply for the Spring ‘25 Decelerator Cohort* Follow Schlaf on X or LinkedIn* Schlaf's Substack: Where The Road Bends* William Stafford Poem: The Way It Is* Get newsletter updates & future episodes delivered to your inbox: Subscribe to Soulful Impact on Substack--Chapters04:30 The Wisdom of Slowing Down07:36 Deceleration and Connection10:20 The Birth of Downshift13:17 Challenges of Modern Acceleration16:22 Facing the Fear of Slowing Down19:32 The Cost of Speed22:28 Confronting Personal Pain25:34 The Journey to Authenticity29:44 Facing the Pain of Addiction32:53 The Journey to Sobriety36:28 Embracing Life's Cycles38:36 Exploring the Concept of Soul43:40 Trusting the Inner Knowing50:53 The Four Windows of Knowing54:55 The Importance of Choice in Personal Growth57:11 Navigating Existential Questions in a Changing World01:01:02 Shifting Paradigms: From Extraction to Cultivation01:04:46 Nature as a Teacher: Insights from Soulcraft01:14:47 Fatherhood: Balancing Presence and Ambition Get full access to Soulful Impact at www.soulfulimpact.blog/subscribe

Happy holidays, Downshift listeners! Greg, Kevin, and Chris are back for one last time in 2024 to recap many of the biggest stories of the year, share their favorite car and track releases on iRacing over the past few builds, and look ahead to an exciting 2025 Special Events calendar.

The December Downshift is a practice we come back to year after year to signal to our internal systems (and the people and projects around us) that it's time to start the slow down vs. get swirled into the year-end or holiday madness, followed by new year start pressure. It's the cyclical co-creation rhythm and structure we practice to mimic the natural world, who has managed to prosper for billlions of year (and gives us a template for how to evolve, grow and thrive).   Think of the practice of downshifting at year end like driving a manual transmission car - you don't want to keep moving through Dec in 5th gear, at a high pace/ intensity/output still running on mental or emotional stressors from the weeks/months prior, and then hard downshift into neutral the last days of the year ... you'll blow out your system. And then likely need to recover from all the OVER indulging, doing, spending, connecting in the new year. So you start depleted vs. ready to receive.  It's a wiser to move through the gears one by one, over the course of weeks, so you can: savor your connections, deeply replenish, and receive from all you have created the previous 12 months. Making choices that support you to be healthy, clear and ready to receive inspiration, insight and clarity for focusing and co-creating next year. Every year while the process of year-end downshifting is the same (there are 4 phases of downshifting - relax, rest, replenish, regenerate), the flavor and focus is different based on that year.  This year ... I tuned into create this year's December Downshift practice for you and received these themes: PEACE, PRESENCE, PEOPLE + PROSPER. I'll guide you through two somatic meditations + help you put intentional & spacious structure into place for Dec + Jan in these parts: Relax to Release  Rest in Place  Replenish to Regenerate  Complete with the Holiday Self Sustainability Practice  For 15 years I've created this structure through December and January for the co-creators + people willing to do things differently, wiser. We'll be here again - keep tuning in weekly on the podcast + join us for the live happenings (see below).   With great heart, Christine  P.S.

Walking through Madison Square Park a year ago, @schlaf talked about transitions, something he knew a lot about. I first met Steve when he was a junior investing partner at RRE, a venture capital firm in New York City. At the time, Schlaf had the NYC startup scene in a chokehold. He had a reputation for hustling hard and winning some of the hottest consumer deals in the city. He was charismatic, he was aggressive, and then, he was gone. At first, he left RRE to do a firm of his own, then he joined Primary as a Venture Partner, then struck out on his own again to blend a CEO coaching practice he was developing with a new chapter as an angel investor. In the park that day last year, he talked about a new evolution of his practice. He'd gone deep on the study of transitions. As someone who'd lived through many in his career, he felt a connection to the subject. As conversations and calls for help with career transitions flooded into his coaching practice, he felt a calling. That calling is still taking shape, but the current iteration of it is Downshift, a cohort-based "decelerator" for high achievers in career transitions. Downshift gives these strivers a place and permission to slow down and take inventory before embarking on the next chapters of their careers. Some takeaways from this conversation —Steve left venture burnt out from the nonstop pace and transactional nature of venture. He wanted more authentic relationships not based on dealmaking. Venture can feel like a “legalized casino” focused on status and wealth generation rather than substance. Instead of constantly being in meetings and pitches, he needed to slow down and have space to think and process.In hindsight, Steve would approach venture differently:— Scheduling no meetings before noon to allow time for research and deep thinking.— Partnering only with people who share similar values.— Balancing effort and recovery to avoid burnout.— Being more upfront and decisive with entrepreneurs, trusting his intuition.As a coach, Steve helps clients navigate major life/career transitions and “ego deaths” as their identities and narratives break down. In practice, that looks like holding space with presence and empathy rather than driving them to specific outcomes, helping them see patterns and make decisions from a place of clarity and agency, not fear, and slowing down to allow emotions to be felt and processed. This method helps his clients reach a sustainable and ultimately stronger place.The prompt to reach out to Steve was seeing his work show up outside of the usual startup circles, notably Bobby Kim, founder of the streetwear brand The Hundreds. Bobby wrote — "Maybe it's just me.But I keep running into the same conversations around career crisis, purpose, and transitions. Several times a week, I'll meet up for lunch, sink into a DM, or sift through a Telegram chat, and a friend will confide that they're experiencing a tough time. When I comfort them, they are surprised that they're not the only ones struggling with finances, that other industries aren't immune to existential threats. They sigh relief when they realize that most everyone I know is confronted with formidable questions of their lives and futures."He goes on to cite Steve's work and relate it to a wide range of industries with a similar theme. It felt like a good time to sit down with Schlaf to dive deep on his work and this current moment. When I approached Schlaf about sitting down to talk about his journey, he had the vision of filming in Central Park. A daunting request, but one where teamwork really did make the dream work. The visuals were stunning, and the conversation clocked in at nearly 3hrs (don't worry, we edited it down to something much more manageable). The park lent an incredible vibe. You'll hear notes from a nearby saxophone, people stopping to say hello, birds chirping, and general movement of the city. We really love how this one turned out, and hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed having it.— BryceAs always, if you or someone you know has a company that could be a fit for and investment from indie, don't hesitate to reach out.

When I think about the power of the last 4 weeks of the year we are completing, and the first 4 weeks of the year to come, I wonder what it would be like if our culture reflected and supported people to: turn inward to their creativity ... turn toward each other in meaningful connectivity... and to tune into their body/mind/heart/spirit for what they needed to restore and regnerate at deep levels.  I imagine a world in which we were taught that these last 4 weeks of a year cycle have so much wisdom and freedom to give us ... if we create the space to reflect and honor all we have done and become ... And as we turn toward the next cycle consciously consider what we choose to release and leave behind ... so as we step into the next cycle, we can more fully co-create the next while living the now. Last year, I realized that I had been doing year-end podcasts and blogs since 2007 - focused on avoiding holiday overwhelm, starting and ending the year differently, living with the cycles, completing the year clear ... so much wisdom and practice there still totally relevant - I put these episodes in the Series Library for You Here.  This year ... I tuned into what we needed to support us in this bigger cycle shift we are headed into, to elevate the conversation, and open ourselves up to the co-creative power that is here for us ... if we create the space. Here's the Wisdom I Received:Create Space for Inspired Creativity + Meaningful Connectivity + Restoring Your Deeper Wellbeing  Tune in and I'll lead you through this to apply in your life and reality now, including: Lean into & Embrace Creativity. Release the pull to more producivity.   Use the practice of Reflow and Refocus to create space  Create Space for what you are co-creating in the next year/cycle by Releasing the roles, responsibilities, and roots that you no longer need/no longer serve going forward  Create Space for Restoring at deep levels - mind/body/heart/spirit - by saying NO to what subtracts from your creativity, connectivity, and wellbeing, and YES to what supports Try the Holiday Self Sustainability Practice - Choose 3 Harmonzing Words + Release 1 Sabotaging Habit and Embrace 1 Supportive Habit   It's a juicy way to open to receive in ways that keep on giving, even after Jan 1, in ways that don't add calories or credit card debt :)  With great heart, Christine  P.S.

3:18 The Science of Longevity vs. The Art of Living: There's no shortage in the science of longevity but we tend to forget the art of living. But we can do both: extend lifespan and expand life itself.   7:40 Longevity is the result of choosing to live a life happy, healthy, connected and purpose-driven. But we tend to focus on the either-or. But we can marry science with art.   14:15 How They Live Long in the Blue Zones:   Move Naturally - their environments constantly nudged them into moving without thinking about it Sense of purpose adds at least 7 years Downshift - rituals and practices to deal with stress 80% Rule - Stop eating when you're 80% full Plant Slant - beans are s the cornerstone of centenarian diet; meat only 4-5times a month Wine at 5 - 1 or 2 glasses of wine a day but not all 14 glasses on a Saturday Belong - 258/263 centenarians belong to a faith-based organization Family first - aging members of the family are kept at home, children are invested with love Right Tribe - they are either born into or they chose social circles that supported their healthy behaviors.   20:00 How did Blue Zones actions led to activating molecular longevity and optimization? Epigenetics - the gene expression has less to do with the gene itself but largely due to the external environment around the cell.   21:26 What our Telomeres say: greater length = greater health, longer lifespan. Stress shortens the telomere.   23:10 CTRA - Conserved Transcriptional Response to Adversity: Activated CTRA increases inflammation and lowers immune. Chronic stress activates CTRA leading to chronic diseases and symptoms. Inhibiting CTRA means dispositional optimism and eudaimonic wellbeing, meditation, yoga, taichi, exercise, noninflammatory diets, cognitive-behavior stress management.   26:55 The Bioenergetic State: Where Science Meets Art. Science of Longevity is the technology and Art of Living is about the choices.    31:29 Forgotten Keys to Natural Longevity: Social - lifting up other people; Physical (sleep, movement, nutrition); Emotions - empowering beliefs and positive emotions especially gratitude; Mental/Thoughts - changing our story; Spiritual - the power to choose.
