George Kinder is a friend, mentor and widely recognised as the Father of the Financial Life Planning movement. For over 30 years, George has trained thousands of financial advisers from 30 countries in life planning, which enables them to help deliver freedom into their clients' lives. George has published seven books, and central to most is this concept of freedom. His most recent book The Three Domains of Freedom sets out to empower readers to experience profound freedoms in their own lives and bring about positive change to our civilisation as a result. In our conversation we explore the book's three core concepts, delve into the challenges of balancing mindfulness with future planning, the feeling of insignificance in a chaotic world, and the potential impact retirees can have on society. George also shares his vision for a more just and sustainable world and the practical steps he suggests for making that vision a reality.

We all have an inner truth that every so often nudges us into directions, whether we are aware of it, or not. We may find, however, that we do not necessarily often listen to or follow those inner nudgings, but as we dive into the story from today's episode, we see how powerful it can be to trust life and see where it takes you. In our conversation today, we welcome back Kute Blackson. Kute is a transformational teacher, a sought-after inspirational speaker, and the bestselling author of two books, The Magic of Surrender and You Are The One. Born in Ghana, he had a multicultural upbringing as the child of a Japanese mother and a Ghanaian father. At the age of 18, Kute left everything he knew behind and followed an inner nudging that sparked a cascade of events leading him to become a spiritual legend. As you tune in to this episode of the Light Watkins Show, you'll join us on a journey as we talk about the anatomy of a leap of faith, how to follow your heart and inner nudgings, and practical steps and advice about how to start listening to your deeper inner truth and ultimately discover your purpose.

Brian chats with George Kinder, the father of the modern financial life planning movement. George is the founder of the Kinder Institute of Life Planning. He has more than 30 years of experience as a practicing financial planner and tax advisor and has trained more than 3,000 professionals in 30 countries. In the episode, George talks about the importance of passion, and how his passion for creating a strong training model fueled him to draft his famous three questions. He also discusses how his purpose continues to evolve as his life grows and changes. Episode Highlights Mission-driven businesses are driven to a higher purpose. George defines a mission-driven business as one that is driven toward a larger purpose. “It's a business that is dedicated to a higher purpose, one way or another,” he said. But it's not just the business itself that can be oriented toward a bigger cause, George said. The people who run the business, the community, the staff, and the consumers can all be part of that larger purpose. “If they are going to be mission-driven, businesses also have to be really personal and really connected with who we are,” George said. Passion comes before precision. George Kinder is perhaps best known for his three Kinder questions:  Imagine you are financially secure, that you have enough money to take care of your needs, now and in the future. How would you live your life? Would you change anything? Let yourself go. Don't hold back on your dreams. Describe a life that is complete and richly yours. Now imagine that you visit your doctor, who tells you that you have only 5-10 years to live. You won't ever feel sick, but you will have no notice of the moment of your death. What will you do in the time you have remaining? Will you change your life and how will you do it? (Note that this question does not assume unlimited funds.) Finally, imagine that your doctor shocks you with the news that you only have 24 hours to live. Notice what feelings arise as you confront your very real mortality. Ask yourself: What did you miss? Who did you not get to be? What did you not get to do? In the interview, George stressed that he didn't arrive at those questions overnight. He established his passion for training and life planning well before the three questions were set in stone. “The precision of that model took a while,” he said. “You got the passion for it, and little things get tweaked.” Passion can fuel you to do great things. When developing the questions, George noticed what brought his clients alive during their meetings. It led to a central question: “What brings them into a passionate relationship with their life that they're feeling like they can make a difference? That they can be who they want to be? And that they can make a real difference to the world around them?” For George, that passion was training life planners. Although he started his work as a financial planner and tax advisor as a way to earn money, his passion for helping clients craft a vision of their life -- and then ultimately step into that life -- fueled him to develop the three questions. “I became passionate about creating the strongest model for training that I could possibly imagine that would deliver advisors into being mission-driven advisors, having their own mission-driven businesses, and then delivering all of their clients into living mission-driven lives,” he said. One thing that still amazes both Brian and George is watching clients find their spark and come alive. Once clients find their passions -- and know someone believes in them -- they turn into problem solvers. “What astonished me was that when you lit somebody's fire, when you got them passionable about their lives, they went at it,” George said. “Suddenly, they solved a lot of the obstacles that stood in their way.” Resources + Links Kinder Institute of Life Planning George's books: The Seven Stages of Money Maturity: Understanding the Spirit and Value of Money in Your Life, Life Planning for You: How to Design & Deliver the Life of Your Dreams, Transforming Suffering into Wisdom:: Mindfulness and The Art of Inner Listening, A Golden Civilization and The Map of Mindfulness, Lighting the Torch: The Kinder Method(TM) of Life Planning, A Song for Hana & the Spirit of Leho'ula Brian's Social Media: Twitter, Instagram, Facebook  About Brian and the Mission Driven Business Podcast  Brian Thompson, JD/CFP, is a tax attorney and certified financial planner who specializes in providing comprehensive financial planning to LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs who run mission-driven businesses.

"It can take time to coax out the inner voice so it's loud enough for you to hear - especially if it's been denied and ignored for so long."It's tempting to see journaling as a very cerebral process. But what if there was another dimension that journaling could open up? What if we could spark different trains of thought, new ideas, and understanding beyond what you thought was present and possible... This episode shows you how.  "When we hear what is happening within, we create space for change and transformation by making room for the life-shifting thoughts and ideas to drop into our conscious awareness."   Tune in now to explore: What is inner listening?How to extend your journaling beyond the obvious things to write about. The reason we benefit from inner listening. Understanding why we struggle to hear our inner voice. The story behind the one-way ticket to Egypt that I never used. Developing the inner trust that cultivates intuition and instincts. How to practice inner listening. Managing the inner critic when it shows up. And more..."Inner listening is the art of learning to distinguish and identify our own voice, needs, and desires... being able to separate them from the external noise and social narratives." As always, I have a couple of journaling prompts to help you practice inner listening. Download yours here.  Also, check out the BestSelf Co. range of journaling tools:1.

In Episode 7 we review the reasons for the first four foundational episodes: Intention, Inspiration, Inner Listening and Big Vison; True Vision. When your vision begins to come into focus, you are faced with the question: How to do I execute on this vision? Then most of us confront the obstacles and the reasons why we can’t pursue and achieve this vision. Here we can easily get stuck or worse, give up. But what you need to know is the obstacle is the way! (More to come on that in a future episode.) The first critical step is an awareness of what those obstacles are, why they are here and how we can best respond to them. When we begin to discover the answers to these questions, we are often led to what needs to change in our lives. This process help to better understand Socrates when he says, “a life unexamined is not worth living.” He chose death over exile. Here we choose a life of inspired living and true freedom over a life lived from the ordinary “small self” and not the extraordinary “higher self.” Now the beginning of the path and the way forward begins to emerge! What We Cover: Mark reviews the four cornerstones of an inspired life: Episodes 1 through 4 How we often need to change things in our life to achieve our vision Realizing that we can’t expect to keep doing the same things and expect different results. Didn’t Einstein say “That’s the definition of insanity?” Examples of how Mark and Aries changed certain habits that weren’t supporting their vision How Mark moved forward on the beginning of his vision through his intention and intuition The power of affirmations and how to know which ones will work for you Being aware of and addressing the obstacles that might be in the way of your vision Questioning our own thoughts and beliefs about ourselves. Asking, is this true? Key drivers that often need to change for you to achieve your vision Time: Deconstructing and becoming aware of how you are spending your time. Energy: Understanding what gives you energy and what depletes your energy. Unique ability: What is it and how to discover it for yourself. Relationships: Know those around you that serve and support your vision, or those that don’t support your vision. Money: Your relationship to it and how it is only one of many resources that can support your vision. Personal development is key. We all must focus on our growth in all areas of our life Deep knowing, not academic learning, is one key to a life of health, wealth and happiness The Resources: The Power of Intention by Dr. Wayne Dyer The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod Unique Ability 2.0 by Catherine Nomura (Author), Julia Waller (Author), Shannon Waller (Author) The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday The Bonuses: The HWPH Top Five Jim Rohn Quotes

Vision, in the context of what we are describing in this episode, is by definition something seen in the mind’s eye. If it’s Spirit-led, conveying a revelation or picture of a thought, concept, or object and is accompanied by strong feelings and emotions, it will lead to the manifestation of what you are envisioning. That is the ultimate power of what we refer to as a True Vision. The key to a Big Vision is it must be so much larger than yourself. What We Cover: How Intention, Inspiration and Inner Listening leads up to a True Vision. A Big Vision Vision is a combination of heart and mind Knowing your “Why” A description of Vision and what it entails What do we mean by “True” and “Big” Vision Something bigger than our ourselves Ego vs Spirit vision Tools we use to help folks build a True Vision. Big Vision.

What do we mean by inner listening? In this Podcast we refer to it as the way one accesses the “voice” of their inner being. It is the essence of who we are and here we explore its role in living an inspired life of connection to your true nature and that of others. Inner listening is a skill and an art. Having it allows you to know the distinction between the voice of “self” and the voice of “spirit.” What We Discuss: We are spiritual beings in a human body. Not the other way around The voice we all have inside What do we mean by inner listening Inner listening as being present in the moment with someone Being open to listening Inner listening and prayer Listening by being alone, quiet and open Your inner voice like a radio frequency Inner listening and connection and a car battery Dealing with the distractions of life Too wrapped up in self and dealing with some big dramatic ego centric story Coming back to the breath The “stop, drop and roll” exercise to stop the growing momentum of thought Distinguishing between the voice of self and the voice of your spirit and inner being Examples of hearing our own inner voice Heeding the voice within Feelings being a vibrational match to what’s true for us Our feelings are a great guide for us Ego-driven decisions vs spirit-driven decisions Start with meditation Resources: “The Art of Inner Listening” by George Kinder Shel Silverstein’s reference to the “The voice that speaks inside.” More good quotes from Shel Silverstein Bonuses Meditation Starters: A gift to yourself to help you develop the art of inner listening.

In this deep conversation with Australian life coach, Connie Chapman, we dive into all things getting unstuck. Connie's approach and energy feels soft and yet powerful. Without feeling like a how-to guide, our discussion does just that; it's chalk full of wisdom on how to get unstuck and break through limiting beliefs that are holding your back from your best life. We talk about the ways that we get in our own way, such as comparison, lacking action, moving from fear, and defending our wounds as a part of our story. But Connie invites us to honor our individual paths and gifts and relearn love by taking intentional action, deep listening, and owning our part in our suffering. It all comes down to heart and authenticity, and with tangible practices straight from Connie's toolkit you're sure to be on the path to getting unstuck! ***Shop Pre-orders until June 8th: thejournaldeck.com/shop Instagram.com/thejournaldeck SHOW NOTES: thejournaldeck.com/episode58
