In today's fast-paced world, taking time to slow down and focus on our spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being has become increasingly difficult. But when we are intentional with our thoughts, words, and actions, we can elevate our consciousness to make a bigger impact on the people around us. That's why I'm excited to finally share this conversation with Gordy Bal. Gordy is an entrepreneur, investor, and author of the #1 WSJ bestseller, The New Millionaire's Playbook.

Gordy is a child of the Internet. He was still in school when he started his first online businesses, and his entrepreneurial spirit was fueled by his business studies at UBC. He earned a 4-year degree in three, and had the drive to earn top grades. He launched several more online businesses and was well on the way to reaching his childhood goal of being rich, when something stopped him in his tracks. September 11, 2001, was a turning point for Gordy, as for many others. It made him rethink the world's problems and how he might help to find solutions. He teamed up with Aaron Samsonoff and they both began to explore the world of Conscious Capitalism. Conscious Thought Revolution (CTR) was launched in 2015.

We don't need a higher click through rate, what we need is a conscious thought revolution. – Gordy Bal Gordy Bal, the author of The New Millionaire's Playbook: 7 Keys to Unlock Freedom, Purpose, and Abundance, and I are two thought leaders who've been exchanging ideas for years. His perspective on the profound shift needed in our perception of wealth and success is mindblowing! As a child of immigrant parents, Gordy achieved his millions in his early 20s. Dissatisfaction quickly redirected his focus from his external to his internal well-being. And, now, he blends practicality with spirituality to teach his clients, and his friends (like me!) how to manifest through new measures of success. Enjoy the insights that Gordy shares from his book to uplift your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. In this episode we talk about… Debunking the belief that money is the ultimate scoreboard for success. Investing in thoughts that create conscious capital instead of spiritual bankruptcy. Measuring personal MEPS (Mental, Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual well-being) to develop awareness & discover purpose. Gordy Bal is a heart-centered entrepreneur, impact investor, and visionary leader. He is the author of The New Millionaire's Playbook, and the founder of Conscious Thought Revolution (CTR.com), which consists of Venture Capital Fund and a world-class marketing agency, which invests in entrepreneurs and organizations committed to bettering humanity.

CoLearn~Bridging Unconventional Education Approaches In this podcast I want to share unique learning journeys. These learning journeys don't fit the mold of the classroom and challenge the idea of what is possible in life learning. This is important because if we don't hear about these experiences, then how will we ever know that they are possible? Not only that, we are in a new era of remote and hybrid work and learning. Our working life looks different, so why wouldn't our learning life? In this episode, I speak with Michael Staton, founder of CoLearn. Michael is a former classroom educator turned EdTech Guru. Michael understands from his experience in education that the ideals and big ideas that we often come to school with cannot match the reality of school. Michael and I talked about the future of education, the impact of technology and the goals of CoLearn to support flexibility, accessibility, offer support and resources and connect families in the homeschooling community. CoLearn~Let's Redesign Education With The Family At The Center CoLearn is bridging conventional education approaches to create a new learning experience with FAMILY at the heart of it all. This is how CoLearn plans to make an impact in the world of education and entrepreneurship. Founder, Michael Staton heard this from homeschooling families when he was invited to attend a conference a few years back. Families spoke to the fact they are not "schooling" at home but living a learning life together. Parents are learning right alongside their children. In effect, it's not homeschooling, it's COLEARNING. Michael and I explored how CoLearn is committed to: working with tech tools to help build active, flourishing learning communities (Many of the tech tools offered are FREE) Building a community of fully engaged parents Making resource discovery easier for homeschooling families Offering the ability to re-mix your learning Providing not only interaction and direct support but also jobs to home educating parents, no matter where they are in the world! Help CoLearn Through Feedback, Help Yourself Through Work Opportunities With Them CoLearn is continuing to build and as they do, they want to make sure they continue to offer the best support and connection to the homeschooling and self directed learning community. To do that, they are asking for feedback from you on what they offer. One of the free tools that they have designed and offer is their CoLearn Planner. They would love you to check it out and offer feedback on how it works for you, what can be improved and more. You can check it out HERE. CoLearn is also hiring! If you are looking to add to your income, support other homeschooling families and continue to homeschool, then this may be your place.

Inspired Learning Through Living "This changed our lives and you can't help but let it seep into other areas of your life." Karla Marie Williams is Unschooling The Sensational Six. Karla Marie is a speaker, writer and global child advocate. As the founder of ispeak4kids global, her work has touched multiple countries and cultures. She is a homeschool conference speaker, mentor and author of Homeschool Gone Wild. Karla Marie is a wife of 22 years and mom of 6 inspired kids! How The Idea Began The idea to homeschool began with her first child. Her daughter needed something different. She was feeling anxious, down and suffered from dyscalculia. Karla Marie saw that her daughter needed not only more one-on-one time but she also realized that her daughter needed more of her. She needed that relationship. So after grade 2, she decided to homeschool her daughter. Her other children soon followed. They continue to homeschool to this day. Homeschooling Was Not Enjoyable Karla Marie started out homeschooling like many of us do. Repeating school at home. They plugged away for 3 years. They ended up hating it. It was just workbooks everyday. It never occurred to her that it could be fun and enjoyable because school was never fun and enjoyable for her. She knew no different. I hear this often. That the idea of school or learning was never something that was to be enjoyed. It was a chore that you just had to get through. If this is your framework around learning, then how could you create anything different? In This Episode In this episode Karla Marie shares how they moved from "school at home" to unschooling. She shares why this has worked so well for her family and why she believes that any child can unschool. Yes. Any child can unschool. She also shares the key elements and examples that have helped to create a successful homeschool environment for them: Focusing on relationships more than shoving facts down their throat. The belief that any child can be an unschooler if their parent is willing to let go long enough to make it work. What helps when you have P.U.P. (Periodic Unschooler Panic) The power of documentation Karla Marie's number one tool for documentation Defining unschooling Inspired Learning Through Living Karla Marie is also a global child advocate. We explored her advocacy work and the impact it has had on her and her family. All of Karla Marie's 6 children are adopted. The experience she has had through the adoption process and raising her children inspired her work. She travels the globe speaking and mentoring. Her focus is understanding trauma, recognizing what trauma does to the brain, how to care for and love children that have been traumatized and how to be an agent of healing in their lives. The organizations she works with must share a common goal: to remove children from institutions, to place them in families and prepare those families to care for them properly. How is that for promoting positive, meaningful change? It is also a demonstration that parents can be the catalyst to showing their children how they can pursue their own dreams. It is truly inspired learning through living. I asked Karla Marie what their main family belief or goal is. "To enjoy the journey, love what they do and make a difference in this world."

Gordy Bal is one of those entrepreneurs you hear about in the news. You wonder how he can be involved in so many incredible projects. But entrepreneurs do entrepreneur things. But Gordy did something that might seem ‘off script,’ unless you got to know him and his personal journey. He started a nature-based school he’d dreamed up after being exposed to a brilliant mind.The Path of Purpose After speaking with Gordy, I think I understand how he does it all. It comes back to purpose, that deep-seated sense that what you’re doing really matters. The most purposeful people I know wake up in the morning excited by the opportunity to work and live in this world they are creating. I can’t speak for you, but for me this is the golden goose of alternative education. Regardless of the specific path, I believe this is what most alternative education families really want for their kids. With a deep purpose, the practical concerns of academic education hardly matter. If you have a deep enough purpose, you’ll learn what you need to learn when you need to learn it. Without purpose, the greatest on-paper education in the world won’t save you. There are few things less attractive than an over-educated Starbucks barista living a purposeless life. Meanwhile, plucky and “uneducated” entrepreneurs all over the world are getting things done and learning what they need when they need it.The Xploration Centre I brought Gordy Bal on the podcast because I heard about his school from my husband. It’s called the Xploration Centreand it has a unique vision, like a cross between a forest school and a technology-based school with some unique philosophical underpinnings. Gordy believes deeply in exponential technologies, but he also fears the current relationship most of us, kids especially, have with technology. Meanwhile, we’re more and more cut off from nature. I share Gordy’s fear on that front. A child without any connection to nature is a very sad thing. But more than sad, it holds them back from living a full life. A week in nature is a cure for most ailments, and nature is the greatest (and only?) true teacher. And beyond nature and exposure to exponential technologies, two other paradigms guide the school. Both stem from the teachings of Dr. Shefali Tsabary, the world famous psychologist who writes on the topic of conscious parenting.Dr. Shefali’s Influence Gordy was exposed to Dr. Shefali’s after he became a parent. Her teachings resonated deeply with Gordy and his wife, so they reached out to meet Dr. Shefali. They would eventually become friends and she would remain influential in his life as he moved along his journey towards opening the Xploration Centre. So influential, that the school is founded on the principles she teaches. Two key concepts from Dr. Shefali inform the direction of the school. The first is love. Most traditional parenting in our society comes from a paradigm of fear. It’s believed the parents’ job is to mould the child into something they’re not. And fear is the main tool to force kids into the mold. But the Xploration Centre is founded on the opposite idea — that kids are perfect as they are and that our role as adults is to express and model love. Kids don’t need to be ‘scared straight’ into becoming ‘productive adults.’ Instead, we need to be loving and supportive on their mission to understand themselves and pursue their unique talents. The traditional model of education (and parenting) in our society is a relic from the industrial era, or even the agricultural. Gordy calls it the top-down model. This model runs on the assumption that kids are basically flawed and that it’s our job as adults to force feed them knowledge — whether in life or school. Flipping this paradigm, the Xploration Centre’s vision is to works with the kids to co-create their own learning curriculum. The goal here is to facilitate the discovery of their own set of skills, joys, and passions. Every child has natural inborn skills and passions. Rather than coerce these uniquenesses out of them, the Xploration Centre seeks to strengthen them.Gordy’s Awakening I love hearing the stories of alternative education parents. Gordy is certainly an alternative education parent, and like most of us, his story helped form his vision for education. A true entrepreneur, Gordy was involved in business since high school. He knew at this early age that school itself wouldn’t be the path for him to achieve his life goals. School never made sense. He had to go to this place every day where people would tell him what to do. Coming from a traditional immigrant background his family highly valued education. His parents saw their labors as a sacrifice they made to ensure their son would get a great education. Still Gordy knew the coercive nature of education didn’t fit for him, and when he had kids he began to research and learn more about alternatives to the traditional system. He encountered Dr. Shefali’s work, and combined with this own spiritual journey he knew that he had to do something about it. And when you’re an entrepreneur like Gordy, doing something means making an impact beyond yourself.Takeaways I loved this episode of the podcast. Gordy and I share similar upbringing. It was interesting to me to see how he formulated himself based on that. But moreover, Gordy is just a really interesting person doing incredibly interesting things in the world — both education and beyond.

I met today's guests at a conference in January and practically tackled them during the next break to get them on the podcast to talk about a topic that is fascinating, necessary, and not something we've discussed in depth on the show before - disrupting the education system. Gordy Bal and Philip Moore (who was mentored by Buckminster Fuller!!!), are collaborating to create Xploration Centre, a "wild school" that promotes loved based education. Now before you go rolling your eyes, listen to the show. They share how the current education is setting up children to be ill equipped to exist and thrive in a world where technology is developing at a more rapid pace than any other time in history. Phil schools us on "neoteny" and what that has to do with quality education and development for humans, to be unique, to help them learn and live in questions rather than trying to adhere to curriculums, exactness, and systems that are very exclusive to learning and personality styles. We talk about synergy, what it means to be a global citizen, and more. I don't know that I've ever been more excited about an interview. Enjoy! About Gordy Bal and Phillip Moore: Gordy Bal - Alchemist and Visionary The Xploration Centre is what Gordy has been dreaming of for his own three sons. An education model that connects our children back to nature and prepares them for Xponential times. An education model that embraces entrepreneurial learning and sustainability in a natural environment. A space where young minds can discover their purpose and passion through Xploration and share their superpowers with the world to make it a better place. Phillip Moore - Synergistic Guide and Educational Innovator Mentored by Buckminster Fuller, Phillip began teaching at Upland Hills Farm School in 1971. He was asked to become the director of the school in February of 1972 and served until June of 2013. During this 40-year period, Phil developed teams on the staff and board level to grow a learning community. In this episode, Gordy and Phil share: 1. What it means to be a global citizen 2. What is "eros" and what does it have to do with modern education? 3. Culturing our youth through synergy and consciousness 4. Getting away from trying to "control" children through behavior modification and recognizing all we can stand to learn from them as adults
