Sone G shares his fascinating journey growing up in the heart of sound system culture in Clarendon, Jamaica, and how he eventually merged his love for Reggae and Dancehall with his devotion to Christ.

In this interview, we dive into: The Manchester United Fan: Sone G reveals his lifelong passion for football and his early days playing for his high school team in Jamaica. The Creative Process: Why Sone G doesn't "write" his songs in the traditional sense, but instead uses a unique freestyle method in his own studio.

Rolando never could have predicted that a college computer, a printer, and an old school wall phone in his kitchen would lead him down the path of entrepreneurship. But that's exactly how it happened. In 2002, he founded Global Tech Worldwide with the goal of making it easy for businesses to use the right office technologies for better and frictionless customer interactions that help businesses elevate their customer interactions and turn them into rich, meaningful discussions. Fast forward to today, and after spending ten years selling on Amazon, he is on his third startup circuit. Com because he was frustrated with the lack of transparency and outdated methods of buying broadband, wireless and fiber internet for small and medium sized businesses. So with that introduction, welcome to the show, Rolando.Rolando 00:00:53 Woo! Woo woo woo woo. Woo woo. Let me try. Let me try.Josh 00:00:56 Hey, there you go. Hey.Rolando 00:00:57 There we go.Josh 00:00:58 You got the audio work?Rolando 00:00:59 I got it, I got it I got him to work.Josh 00:01:02 Rolando has his own podcast and we recorded an episode last week I was on, I was in the reverse side. I was the guest there. And that I told you, Rolando, I love the sound effects that you have going on in your podcast.Rolando 00:01:15 You know what? I'm here. You know what? Go get a stream deck, go get it and call me, and I'll help you set it up. Because it took me a while. I left it in the box for quite some time before I actually started using it, because I was a little intimidated. I'm not an Avi guy or anything like that, but, you know, I was like, all right, let me add one, two, three. And I was like, ooh. And now I've got a couple of those buttons set up for it.Josh 00:01:38 I love it, I love it. All right, Rolando, there's another really wicked smart strategy that I want you to share with our audience that you shared with me prior to hitting the record button.Josh 00:01:48 And this is your amazing PPC strategy that I have never heard anybody else talk about this other than yourself. everybody's always heard of de parting, right? And that's kind of the new hot PPC term, but this isn't Dave Harding. This is something, I think, even more intelligent than what De parting is. So I've laid out the red carpet for you there, Rolando. Give us the gold nugget.Rolando 00:02:13 Yeah, right. So de parting is just simply ad scheduling. You know, run an ad on a schedule. Nothing new there. But what if. Chad. Chad, I was just talking to Chad. What if Josh. We could map or have ads show up when we have our ideal customers on Amazon? How can we do that? Can we pull it off? And can we save money while we're doing that? That's really what we wanted to find out. Turns out there is a way to do it. Not easy, not clean. But there was. So we went and pulled data from our orders for 12 months, and we used, Seller Labs product that they have or service that's called Data Hub.Rolando 00:02:59 and it pulled in all that data, right? It's our own data. So we didn't have to do all these crazy reports from Amazon. Pulled it all in. Once they pulled that in I said, wait a minute, guys. I'm not a mathematician here. This is just a spreadsheet with a bunch of numbers. Can we do something better? So then we put together something that anybody could easily use in the organization. We put together a heat map so that you can visually see the data. And, you know, dark green means good, red is bad. And guess what? We found golden hours every day of the week. Also golden months also patterns within those months. For example summertime for our products which are mostly office related products. After 4 p.m. on a Friday, we've virtually had no orders on the summer months. So if I'm a betting man, Why would I run PPC after 4 p.m. if we're not getting any orders? Another one was when? on the weekends, you hear people say this all the time.Rolando 00:04:12 And now that I have the data for our stuff, I know it's totally wrong. You got to run ads on Saturday and Sunday because people browse Saturday and Sunday and buy on Monday. The evidence does not hold that up in our case, because in our case, most of our activity, nearly 85 to 90% of the purchases c...
At some point, you have to decide — are you all in, or are you just interested? Andy Whittier's journey didn't follow a straight line. From walking on to a college football team in his hometown to discovering a sport he didn't even know existed, his path has been defined by one thing: the willingness to bet on himself when nothing was guaranteed. This episode goes beyond sport. It's about what happens when you step into the unknown, let go of what's comfortable, and commit fully to something that could fail. Andy shares the reality of starting over in a completely new arena, the humbling process of becoming a beginner again, and the moment he realized that success required more than just showing up — it required total commitment. From football fields to Olympic tracks, and now stepping into military service, Andy's story is a powerful reminder that growth only happens when you're willing to go all in. Guest Bio Andy Whittier is a USA Skeleton athlete known for his resilience, discipline, and pursuit of Olympic success. After playing collegiate football at Idaho State University in his hometown, Andy transitioned into the sport of skeleton after discovering it through a recruiting opportunity. Now training at the Olympic level, Andy continues to push his limits both physically and mentally while preparing for future international competition. His journey reflects a commitment to growth, perseverance, and representing something bigger than himself. You'll hear About How Andy went from college football to discovering skeleton by chance The mental challenge of starting over in a sport he knew nothing about Why "being coachable again" was one of his biggest hurdles The turning point when he fully committed to his Olympic dream What it really means to bet on yourself and go all in Chapters 00:00 Welcome and Episode Introduction 02:00 Growing Up With Football and Early Influences 05:00 Playing College Football in His Hometown 09:00 Life After Football and Feeling the Competitive Void 12:00 Discovering Skeleton and Taking a Leap into the Unknown 16:00 The Reality of Learning a New Sport from Scratch 19:30 Becoming Coachable Again as an Adult 23:00 Early Struggles and Lack of Progress 26:00 The Moment He Took Full Ownership of His Journey 30:00 Leaving Stability to Pursue the Dream 33:30 Winning at the Next Level and Building Momentum 36:30 Personal Growth Through Adversity 39:00 Joining the Army World Class Athlete Program (WCAP) 42:00 Faith, Purpose, and Trusting the Process 45:00 Final Reflections and Key Takeaways Chuck's Challenge This week, take an honest look at where you might be holding back. Are you fully committed to what you say you want… or are you still keeping one foot in what feels safe? Pick one area of your life and go all in — even if it's uncomfortable.

Welcome to episode #1030 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a time when marketing (and AI) feels both hyper-measurable and strangely uncertain, few voices bring as much clarity… and lived perspective… as Avinash Kaushik. A longtime friend (and he's also available for your next meeting at ThinkersOne) of the show and one of the most influential thinkers in marketing and technology, Avinash first rose to prominence as the analytics evangelist at Google, where he helped bring web analytics into the mainstream and reshape how businesses think about measurement and decision-making. He is also the bestselling author of Web Analytics 2.0 and Web Analytics: An Hour A Day— thinking that has become foundational texts for marketers navigating data-driven environments. Today, he serves as Chief Strategy Officer at Human Made Machine and as a strategic advisor at Tapestry, working across brands like Coach and Kate Spade to drive transformation at scale. Beyond his corporate roles, Avinash continues to publish his widely read newsletter, The Marketing Analytics Intersect, where he explores the evolving intersection of data, technology, and business strategy while donating all proceeds to charity. In our conversation, Avinash unpacks how the industry over-indexed on performance metrics at the expense of brand, and why that imbalance is now being corrected… not by marketers, but by AI. He argues that while AI will automate much of what we once considered core marketing work, it simultaneously elevates the importance of judgment, creativity, and asking better questions. Drawing from real-world examples, Avinash makes a compelling case that the future belongs to those who don't just adopt AI tools, but rethink their role entirely. The opportunity isn't to do the same work faster… it's to redefine what work is worth doing in the first place. And while the hype cycle around AI is loud, Avinash offers a more grounded perspective: imperfect systems, messy organizations and human dynamics will always shape outcomes. The real risk isn't that AI replaces us… it's that we fail to evolve alongside it. Enjoy the conversation… Running time: 1:16:13. Hello from beautiful Montreal.

In a profession often defined by rigid standards of appearance, Jesse Barmby is rewriting the rules. A Registered Nurse with 15 years of experience, Jesse—widely known as the "Tattooed Nurse"—joins the conversation on the Gritty Nurse Podcast with Host Amie Archibald-Varley, to pull back the curtain on what it really means to be a professional in modern healthcare. Beyond the Ink: Redefining Professionalism Is a nurse defined by the starch in their scrubs or the skill in their hands? Jesse dives deep into the misconceptions surrounding body art in the hospital, challenging the outdated stereotype that tattoos somehow diminish clinical excellence. We explore: The "Look" of Care: Why patients often find more connection with a nurse who looks like a "real person" rather than a clinical blank slate. The Professionalism Paradox: Breaking down why the healthcare industry often prioritizes aesthetic conformity over diverse, lived experience. The Power of Presence: How Jesse's practice in Buddhism and spirituality informs his mental health approach, proving that compassion isn't skin deep—it's soulful. Stereotypes vs. Shared Humanity What do people get wrong about "the way we look"? Jesse shares how his tattoos have actually served as a bridge, not a barrier, creating a unique space for shared experiences and rapport-building with patients from all walks of life. From the challenges of nursing stereotypes to the necessity of authentic diversity, this episode is a masterclass in providing compassionate, spiritual care while staying true to your identity. Keywords nursing, tattoos, mental health, Buddhism, professionalism, diversity, healthcare, spirituality, patient care, resilience Takeaways Jesse Barmby has been a registered nurse for 15 years. He incorporates Buddhist principles into his nursing practice. Tattoos can create connections with patients from diverse backgrounds. Professionalism in nursing should not be based on appearance. Mental health struggles are common among healthcare professionals. Diversity in nursing includes various forms of identity, including tattoos. Buddhism has been transformative for Jesse's mental health. Shared experiences can foster comfort and trust in patient care. The healthcare system needs to evolve in its perception of professionalism. Compassionate care is rooted in understanding and acceptance.

Welcome to episode #1028 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). In a world increasingly defined by information overload and ideological certainty, the ability to change one's mind may be the most undervalued skill of all… and few thinkers have explored that terrain as deeply as my friend, Nir Eyal. A bestselling author, behavioral design expert and former Stanford lecturer, Nir has built a career examining how habits are formed, how attention is controlled and how human behavior can be shaped both externally and from within. His previous works, Hooked - How To Build Habit-Forming Products and Indistractable - How To Control Your Attention And Choose Your Life, established him as a leading voice on the psychology of technology and focus. In his latest book, Beyond Belief - Change Your Mind, Change Your Life, Nir shifts inward, exploring the often invisible force that determines whether knowledge translates into action: belief itself. Drawing on behavioral science, psychology and lived experience, he introduces what he calls the "motivation triangle" - behavior, benefit and belief - and argues that without belief, even the best strategies and intentions collapse. At the core of his work is a provocative idea: beliefs are not truths… they are tools (flexible, revisable constructs that shape what we see, feel and do). He explores how limiting beliefs persist even when we know better, why we often fail to act on advice we actively seek, and how techniques like "turnarounds" can help reframe our assumptions to unlock agency and change. At the same time, Nir wrestles with the broader implications of belief in a polarized, AI-driven world… where narratives are reinforced, critical thinking is uneven, and certainty is often mistaken for truth. Grounded in both rigorous research and personal reflection, his work reframes belief not as something to defend, but as something to consciously design and refine. Nir is also available to join your meetings or gatherings on ThinkersOne. I have had him on the show countless times and he is always inspiring and insightful.

Nir Eyal grew up clinically obese, ashamed of his body, and convinced that food controlled him. He tried every diet: low-fat, keto, vegetarian, and intermittent fasting. Each one worked until it didn't. What finally changed his life wasn't a meal plan; it was his belief. When he believed a plan would work, it worked. When that belief cracked, the weight returned. And he realized this pattern doesn't just apply to weight; it shows up in every area of life. In this episode, Nir joins Ilana to reveal the hidden force behind your success or stagnation. He unpacks the science of belief, how it shapes what you see, feel, and do, and the practical framework to break limiting beliefs before they break you.

ITP - 140 A Liverpool-born educator who once resisted teaching ends up saying yes to South Korea—and never looks back. Ken Bence traces an 18+ year arc from public-school TEFL to PGCE, then into a fast-growing bilingual school in Shanghai where rapid expansion pulled him into hiring, standards alignment, and early leadership. Seeking the IB bridge, he lands in Kuwait and grows into K–12 instructional coaching with the help of strong mentors, then tackles leadership fairs, multiple offers, and a vice head role that drops him back into China just as COVID reshapes borders and daily life. The journey continues through Shenzhen and Chengdu, a doctorate alongside principal work, and a brief interim senior leadership post in Budapest—plus practical rituals that make each new country feel like home: spices, quality bedding, and a folder of notes that keeps the purpose front and center.(00:00) Introduction to Ken Bence and His Journey(02:35) Cultural Shock and First Impressions in South Korea(06:53) Transitioning to Leadership Roles in Education(12:40) Exploring New Opportunities in Kuwait(17:37) Navigating Job Fairs and Networking in International Teaching(22:48) Navigating Career Pathways in Education(24:31) Midway-Contact Break(27:06) Cultural Shifts: Returning to China During COVID(29:59) Transitioning to Chengdu: New Challenges and Opportunities(32:55) Career Baby Steps: Progressing Through Education Roles(34:19) New Beginnings: Moving to Budapest(36:20) Preparing for Change: Leaving Budapest(40:29) The Emotional Journey of Teaching AbroadThe International Teacher Podcast is a bi-weekly discussion with experts in international education.

In this conversation, David Bross shares his unique journey from being a director of photography to woodworking and app development. He discusses the creation of his free iPhone app Digilog, which simulates Kodak film looks, and his philosophy of open-source software and teaching the next generation of filmmakers. David walks us through the technical challenges behind the Digilog app (free in the App Store here), from translating his DaVinci Resolve color grading workflow into code, to navigating Apple's app review process which rejected the app 15 times before approval. He also talks about sourcing rare Kodak CCD sensors to revisit the Digital Bolex project, not as a revival but as a stepping stone toward something bigger: building custom, artisanal cameras shaped by personal needs rather than the technological race. Along the way, he shares a candid take on why he believes modern cameras have reached a point of visual uniformity — and why that's a problem worth solving.

Welcome to episode #1022 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a moment when organizational change is too often treated as a mandate rather than an experience people choose to embrace, Phil Gilbert has spent his career proving that transformation only sticks when it earns genuine buy-in. Phil is a design executive, transformation leader and former General Manager of Design at IBM, where he architected one of the largest cultural and operational shifts in corporate history, helping nearly 400,000 employees across 180 countries become more entrepreneurial, agile and customer-centered. Trained as both a designer and systems thinker, Phil brought design thinking out of studios and into the core of enterprise decision-making, reshaping how teams collaborated, how products were built, and how leaders understood their customers. His work at IBM addressed hard truths, including the company's struggles with usability and missed opportunities in the early cloud era, by treating change itself as a product worthy of rigor, investment, and care. That experience became the foundation for his book Irresistible Change - A Blueprint For Earning Buy-In And Breakout Success, which blends narrative and field guide to show how large organizations can scale transformation by focusing on people, practices, and environments rather than slogans or top-down directives. Phil's approach reframes culture as an outcome, not an initiative, arguing that lasting change emerges when employees see themselves in the future being designed. Beyond IBM, his work as an executive coach and advisor continues to focus on how leaders navigate complexity, align teams, and thoughtfully integrate technologies like AI into human systems without eroding trust or creativity. Grounded in real-world execution rather than theory, Phil's perspective challenges organizations to stop forcing change and start making it irresistible.

In this episode, I'm joined by author and neuro-affirming life coach Sol Smith for a thoughtful and deeply personal conversation about autism (with a focus on high functioning adults), identity, and self-discovery. Sol shares his journey of being diagnosed with autism in adulthood and what inspired him to write The Autistic's Guide to Self-Discovery: Flourishing as a Neurodivergent Adult.In this conversation we explore the often-overlooked nuances of autistic experience — including high masking, social challenges, intense versus narrow interests, and the impact of societal stigma. Sol also speaks to the barriers many autistic adults face in accessing professional diagnoses, the importance of self-diagnosis, and the vital role community support groups play in fostering belonging and understanding.Woven throughout the conversation is a broader reflection on consciousness and the unique ways autistic individuals may perceive and engage with the world. This episode offers insight, validation, and encouragement for autistic listeners, as well as greater understanding for allies seeking to learn.In this episode, Sol discusses:His Journey to Writing the The Autistic's Guide to Self-DiscoveryUnderstanding Autism and Narrow InterestsSocial Challenges and Hierarchies Building Friendships as an Autistic PersonMasking and People PleasingGender Differences in AutismRejection SensitivityCultural Changes and AcceptanceThinking Styles: Bottom-Up vs. Top-DownUnderstanding Neurotypical vs. Autistic PerceptionMedia Literacy and Cognitive ShortcutsCommunication Challenges in RelationshipsEncouraging Self-Diagnosis and Access IssuesAutistic Traits and Social PerceptionThe Cognitive Burden of AutismCoaching and Community Support for AutisticsExploring Consciousness and PerceptionVisit Sol's website________BECOME YOUR OWN SHAMAN Introductory Online Course For more information about Wendy's new visionary fiction book, Raven's Daughter, or to purchase a copy, visit Three Worlds PressVisit Wendy's website to learn more about the the Harmonic Egg® Lucid Cafe episodes by topic Listen to Lucid Cafe on YouTube ★ Support this podcast ★

He is a recovering optometrist turned ecommerce entrepreneur. He is the founder of Eye Love, whose mission is to heal 1 million dry eye sufferers naturally. Doctor Travis and his wife, Doctor Jenna Zigler, used the profits from Eye Love to Fund free clinics in Jamaica and the US through their charity, the Eye Believe Foundation. And due to the success of Eye Love, others have asked if Doctor Travis would help them grow their businesses online and more specifically with Amazon, which led to the creation of the profitable Pineapple Ads Agency. Well why pineapple? Well, why not specializing in Amazon PPC? Doctor Travis blogs about Amazon PPC and selling on Amazon, and also has a free Amazon PPC Masterclass, which you can check out at Profitable pineapple.com. So welcome to the podcast, Travis.Travis 00:00:57 Josh, happy to be here and glad to be glad to be providing value to your audience, so looking forward to it.Josh 00:01:03 You had previously started profitable pineapple ads before the exit.Josh 00:01:07 Is that true?Travis 00:01:08 Yeah, so we started about four years ago and the exit was about a year ago. Okay.Josh 00:01:12 And so so yeah, you had already started it. So you already had something else going on, right? Do you feel like that helped?Travis 00:01:18 It did help. But to go back to your question about tips and pointers, it's all about where you find your worth in life. And a lot of us as entrepreneurs find that worth in what we're doing in our business. We bury ourselves in busy work because that's what we feel like is our worth. And it's all about that is finding what makes you feel. I don't want to say worthy, but find out what makes you feel good inside. I'm a creator. I love to educate and so I educated with my dry brand. We had a show called The Dry Eye Show. It was a podcast and a YouTube station. But then in the agency side, I also am. I teach people all the strategies that we used. And so I love to educate people on how to do stuff.Travis 00:02:05 And I was a professor at Ohio State. So I find my value in education, in masterminding with people, in networking. And so as long as that didn't go away when we sold our business, then I would be fine. My wife, on the other hand, I don't think she knows as much. She finds it in motherhood a little bit. But we have we have two kids and they're in school during the day, so. But she also finds it in I think writing is her kind of passion. Is email, copywriting, blog posting and creating that value for people in the written form. But when Eye Love kind of is going away or has gone away, and it's changed over the last year and a half, she didn't get to do that as much as she used to. And so her kind of value and her worth that she felt kind of went away. And so she kind of felt empty inside. And it's very hard. So as an entrepreneur, we need to find our worth in something that we can continue doing even when the business is gone.Travis 00:02:59 That doesn't mean busywork. It just means focusing on what you feel like you were put on this earth to do. And mine is education. And then focusing on our foundation's mission, which is giving people vision that don't have access to eyecare. And so we go on mission trips three, two to 3 to 4 times a year, and we donate to those causes as well. And that's because that's where we find value, is giving people vision because that helps their lives, of course. And then also educating and creating for people to help them learn things as well.Josh 00:03:33 All right. Let's pivot now Travis, into profitable pineapple ads. you know, tell us why you got started in PPC. And let's talk about some of the, you know, tactics that have been working in PPC specifically for now. And then. I know you've got in the Billion Dollar seller summit. you shared some advanced tactics about implementing blog strategies and some of that cool stuff. And so we'll get to that. But let's talk about just regular old PPC to begin with and your journey to where it got to you.Josh 00:04:06 Right now with your agency?Travis 00:04:08 Yeah. So the agency was just born out of a need that we had. And again, listening to the universe and how it's coming at us and taking action on it. And so what happened was we hired multiple agencies, seven agencies total tried six softwares. This was back in 2016 and 2017. And finally I hired a good friend of mine who had a very respectable agency and software. And I thought, you know, I think they're going to do a great job. If they can't do it, then I got to figure it out. And unfortunately, it just didn't work out. And what I found with agencies constantly is they just spend a lot for a little return. And they always promised, yeah, it's coming, it's coming. We're just getting the data. The problem is I kind of knew what to do with the Amazon PPC, ...

James Reda grew up in Las Vegas being raised by his grandparents, but his life took a sharp turn when his father taught him how to scam slot machines at a young age. That early introduction to hustling led James into a world of check fraud, casino scams, and eventually time in both Nevada state prison and federal prison — including serving time in the same facility as his father. After his first release, James tried to rebuild his life working as a limo driver, but he became wrapped up in an FBI indictment connected to his job. While on pre-trial release, he slipped back into check fraud and landed in prison again — where he was even accidentally released before being taken back into custody. Ultimately sentenced to more time, James served in both systems before using his second chance on the outside to finally turn his life around. In this episode, he breaks down his entire journey: the early scams, the prison time, the FBI case, the accidental release, the relapse, and what it took to change his life for good. If you're interested in Vegas crime stories, prison life, redemption arcs, and real interviews with people who've lived it, this conversation delivers honesty, insight, and wild twists from start to finish. #CasinoScam #PrisonStory #NevadaPrison #TrueCrimePodcast #LockedInWithIanBick #InmateStories #PrisonLife #crimeandconsequences Thanks to AURA FRAMES for sponsoring this episode: Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/LOCKEDIN.

Earle led the yoga philosophy department and taught meditation and yoga, while also studying Tibetan, Sanskrit, business, and a 7-year advanced program in Tibetan Buddhism. #energymedicine #spiritual #meditate About my Guest Earle BirneyEarle grew up an avid sports fan in Vancouver, Canada. With just 4 months left of study before obtaining a degree, he began to realize that a life of following “societal norms” — starting a career, buying a house, getting married, having kids — did not make sense or appeal to him. It felt confining rather than freeing. So instead, he took out a student loan, bought an around-the-world ticket, and went on his personal search for freedom. Fueled by liquid inspiration, Earle ironically ended up in Paremoremo, a maximum security prison in Auckland New Zealand where he remained as a guest for the next 22 months. This is where Earle met the practices of yoga, meditation, and Buddhist philosophy. Earle began studying the Asian Classics Institute program and shortly after returning to Canada, went to help him start the Diamond Mountain University and Retreat Center in the Chiricahua Mountains of Arizona. Earle led the yoga philosophy department and taught meditation and yoga, while also studying Tibetan, Sanskrit, business, and a 7-year advanced program in Tibetan Buddhism. This period of study concluded with a 3 year 3 month 3 day silent meditation retreat.Taking his 27 years of experience, Earle thrives on making the often complicated teachings practical and relatable. Earle uses his expertise in retreat and his capacity to guide people along the stages of meditation, to help them in their spiritual journey.Earle is the head of curriculum development and lead teacher at the Yoga Studies Institute (YSI). YSI reaches over 10,000 students annually, leading students in yoga programs and retreats, meditation teacher trainings, and philosophy workshops. Earle also teaches and leads meditation programs at the Three Jewels Outreach Center in NYC for many students, including beginning meditators, people training to become meditation teachers, and advanced practitioners looking to deepen their practice in retreat.What we Discussed: 00:10 Who is Earle Birney 01:00 His Journey to understand life05:35 4 months from finishing his Degree and quit07:40 The plan was to work and kep travelling08:18 How he got into selling Acid09:30 Getting a warning he should have listened to10:28 The Process of Getting Arrested11:40 His Court Experience14:20 His experience in Prison15:50 How did his Parents react to the situation17:00 After 5 month how was the prison experience18:55 The jobs in the Prison20:30 What was his Mindset when he know he was getting out22:45 Was there any treatment in Prison to help with drug use25:00 The Journey after Prison28:00 7 Years in a Buddist centre29:00 3 Years 3 Months & 3 Day silent retreat29:50 How did they cover costs30:45 Spending 3 years to go inwards for yourself31:45 The Structure of the Retreat33:19 How was his mind in the 1st few days35:25 After the Retreat what was the next part of his journey38:00 Fast for Hunger40:20 Give Dignity to the Homeless41:00 What Meditation do they Teach and his Practice43:30 When People say they can not Meditate46:00 Getting Tired in Meditation49:14 Walking on the beach worked for me Meditating50:48 The Free Resources on his WebsiteHow to Contact Earle Birneywww.yogastudiesinstitute.orghttps://www.instagram.com/samayogastudio/All about Roy / Brain Gym & Virtual Assistants at https://roycoughlan.com/
