In a world where division and uncertainty are prevalent, the need for genuine connection has never been more critical.

He's a featured thought leader on WholeHearted.org along with Brené Brown, Marianne Williamson, Dr. Gabor Maté, and Mark Lundholm, as well as a featured thought leader in the docuseries, “Addiction Revealed.” Ordained by Michael himself, TJ is also the founder of Agape Bay Area in Oakland, the first satellite community of The Agape International Spiritual Center.  During Michael's and TJ's conversation, they cover:  -TJ's childhood joy, then early trauma, followed by substance use, and his first steps toward sobriety and spiritual awakening -How recovery and New Thought teachings helped TJ shed false beliefs and return to his essence -What ‘Living in the Question' means, and how curiosity expands awareness while judgment restricts it -The importance of open-ended questions as tools for spiritual growth and social harmony -How over-identifying with diagnoses or labels reinforces dis-ease vs. focusing on what's working and feeling the energy shift -Creating space for healers to experience healing themselves, avoiding burnout, and the “fixer” mentality -Why true compassion emerges from insight, not from reactive behavior -How neuroplasticity and epigenetics confirm what mystics have always known: consciousness shifts physiology and thought patterns reshape the brain and gene expression, and more!

Michael Richman is a Certified EOS Implementer® at EOS Worldwide, where he educates, facilitates, and coaches companies on optimizing their leadership teams and businesses. As a fourth-generation entrepreneur, he managed a multimillion-dollar custom manufacturing company, serving top brands like Panda Express and Four Seasons Hotel. During Michael's tenure, the company doubled in size and increased profitability margins by 20%.  In this episode: After purchasing a company, some buyers try reinventing the wheel rather than following established processes, leading to potential bankruptcy. How can new business owners adopt well-documented and observed processes from previous owners? EOS expert Michael Richman sold his company to an overzealous buyer who believed the business didn't need systems to survive and eventually ran it into the ground. He emphasizes documenting processes efficiently through checklists rather than lengthy documents to ensure readability and follow-through. Michael also recommends that new owners encourage employees to update and refer to established systems instead of accomplishing tasks individually. Tune in to this week's episode of Systems Simplified as Adi Klevit chats with Michael Richman, a Certified EOS Implementer® at EOS Worldwide, about the importance of following established processes after purchasing a business. He shares why he exited his company, the barriers to process follow-through, and his multigenerational entrepreneurial background.

On today's episode, we chat with two time guest, Michael W. Smith! Multi-Platinum artist, best-selling author and acclaimed actor Michael W.

The five-song worship EP features four classics including “In Christ Alone” and “Agnus Dei”  and also features a brand new song, “Crimson Dust”, which Smith wrote alongside Tony Wood.   On the new song, Smith says, “Crimson Dust, which I wrote with Tony Wood, sets the scene of the day of Christ's sacrifice on the cross.

Michael White is an American citizen from Southern California. Michael served in the US Navy for 15 years and is one of 5 siblings, all of whom have served in the US Armed Forces. In 2012, Michael met his fiancé-to-be, Samaneh Abbasi on a Yahoo chatroom. He then travelled to Iran a total of three times to visit her. During Michael's third trip to Iran in 2018, he was arrested by the Iranian authorities on false charges and wrongfully imprisoned for 683 days. In June 2020, Michael was released in a prisoner swap deal between the US and Iran. On this week's episode, we have the honour of speaking to Michael himself. He walks us through his arrest, being tortured in prison, being forced to write a false confession, being put through a sham trial and being sentenced to 15 years in prison on false charges, getting COVID19 in prison as a cancer survivor who was still recovering from the effects of his chemotherapy before visiting Iran, assistance from the Swiss Embassy, being granted medical furlough and eventually being released in a prisoner swap deal. Michael also talks about his depression and difficulty reintegrating into society after coming back to the United States which led him to think about taking his own life. Michael is now suing the Iranian authorities for $1 Billion US Dollars to get compensation for what they did to him. We also discuss what the US government, news media and the public can do to prevent Iran from doing this again.Follow Pod Hostage Diplomacy on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to keep up to date with our work.Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/PodHostageDiplo)

In this podcast Michael Blakey describes how as a strongly dyslexic child his relationship with schooling and formal education was very challenging. He credits his parents with putting him in environments where he developed a lot of resilience - going to boarding schools from the age of seven, and only later in life realising that this was unusual. His early experiences retailing sweets and vodka at school, led to large scale warehouse parties in the US, flipping real estate in London and making enough money to start a seed fund with his brother. We learn about his habit of acting first, and then figuring things out, how he wants both financial success and impact, the questions he asks when trying to decide who to invest in, and how not to approach him. About Michael Blakey Michael's entrepreneurial journey started when he was young. He supported his way through college, in the US, by running a number of events in the city. Michael loves buildingthings – including companies. Michael attributes his atypical journey to becoming a successful entrepreneur-turned-investor to having struggled for years in school, owing to his dyslexia. As a result, he was always on the lookout for ways to succeed outside of school. In turn, it is exactly this kind of differentiation and drive that he looks for in Founders as an investor today. In 2000 he founded Avonmore Developments, with his brother Simon, to invest in early-stage companies across UK. Since then, they have invested in over 40 companies and have achieved 11 successful exits to date. In 2013 he moved to SE Asia and set-up Cub Capital that has invested in 12 early-stage companies across the region including Anchanto, Quincus and MyDoc. He has already achieved 1 exit with Crème Simon. Most recently, Michael co-founded Cocoon Capital, an early-stage VC fund, which is looking to invest in enterprise and deep tech companies throughout SE Asia. To date Cocoon has invested in 20 companies including Sensorflow, See-Mode and Buymed. As is his want the structure of Cocoon is very different than your typical fund, as his entrepreneurial spirit always wants him to challenge the status quo. During Michael's career he's been named ‘UK Angel Investor of the Year 2015' by the UK Business Angel Association, selected as one of the ‘Maserati 100' and voted by AngelsNews into the list of ‘Business Angels You Should Know'. These accolades were not attributed to Michael only in recognition of his successful investments, but for the relentless support he gives to the founding and management teams of the companies he invests in as well as his generous contributions over the years towards building the start-up and investor ecosystems in the UK and now SE Asia.
