Greetings once more in love, light, and wisdom as one.    On-side to we returned to the same subject and we look at them for possibly helping the shielding and PK. It's all about lucid visualization that's available when we can tap into the deeper parts of the brain. This would produce a dreamlike affect that would allow us to stay away while dreaming. Before he leaves we get into a fund thing about Star Trek and Dr. McCoy's eyebrow. Karra uses up the rest of the side to go over some of the things I was doing for my health and hoping for instant results. She advised slowing down and looking at the scenery. The topic then is about dreams and one that I had she happened to be monitoring. She then helped me figure out who it was I was trying to teach. You think talk about free energy machines and the magnets that would be used to create such a device. What we were looking at is solar options to run the car without gas. We next talk about the LS devices and the potential for healing. What we work on is being able to see the issue in our mind to then re-create it later on in the physical sense. Therefore we are again going over lucid visualization to make the healing happen. We move on from there to Mark's dream of healing someone else. We had been doing some programming of Mark's dreams and this is the first result we were hearing other. We have a shorter night and so we cut it short at that point with Tia coming on at just the last moment. Another excellent entry into the Ashtar Command archives.

Side two includes:   1.)(0:00)- Omal starts with a discussion on lucid dreams and shields and then moves on to the other skills such as PK. From there we work on expanding the energy used after seeing it done with the mind. 2.)(9:38)- Karra and I compare noes on a dream I had that she was monitoring. We next revisit the topic of generating free energy before moving on the how the LS device could be used for lucid visualization.

Greetings once more in love, light, and wisdom as one.    Side two is where Omar explains that pyramids are one of the strongest structures you can have because they are made up of triangles. Much more secure than a box. Korton then makes a special appearance and uses up a lot of the side to discuss first off a story I had heard about a piece of Atlantis showing up in the 19th century by a ship but was gone when they returned. Korton explains about magna bubbles that could account for such an event. We next going to mental shielding and how it naturally develops from infancy. Some babies he says, are older souls that can create multiple shields from birth. It doesn't stop them from projecting their thoughts onto others though. The next topic is meta-concerts and how a two-person version could attract others so that the group could grow. He explains it would be like an advertisement that would be carried vibrationally. As usual, he is an amazing teacher. Karra takes over from Korton and we went back over a energy exchange using a crystal earlier that day that had nearly wiped me out. We had good success so a new session was scheduled for later that night. It was all about enlarging capacity. It turns out that Wing Commander Taal's had come over to our apartment and was missing Taal. Karra let her crash on the couch and warned me not to wake her up when I showed up later. It was great though because now they would be reunited once more. We end things there and Kiri jumps back on to finish things up. During our talk, we go over how we could hook up a fifth dimensional hologram projector from the base down here in the third dimension. As it turns out, we lack pretty much everything that would be needed to make it happen. Lastly, we go over ski suit and bikini designs. A fun yet educational channeling session perfect for the Ashtar Command archives.

Side two includes:   1.)(2:33)- Korton and I discuss a newly arisen Atlantean island and natural mental shielding. Along with that, we go over a dimensional doorway being built by the Arcturians using a pyramid to contain it.  2.)(27:21)- Karra and I debrief a session we had earlier that morning where we had practiced channeling energy through a crystal. She also reveals that Taal's girlfriend happens to be crashed out on our couch.   3.)(34:07)- Kiri finishes things up by explaing wjat it would take to set up a hologram projector here on the third dimension so we can see in real time what is happening on the base. Turns out we can't after all.

Greetings once more in love, light, and wisdom as one.    On side two, Omal takes over and his task was get a flame to bend using my mind and hold it for ten seconds. Not the easiest of tasks though it was far easier than trying to manifest a penny. He also relays a dogfight where a pilot was killed. He and Wing Commander Tall were jumped and faced overwhelming odds. Karra follows after and needs some help with her shoulder. We also plan for our bonding ceremony such as my going to Sirius to check with her father. Tia wraps things up with a discussion about her kids.

Side two includes:   1.)(0:00)- Omal gives me a manifestation task of bending the flame of a candle over for ten seconds. Another topic is a recent dogfight where a pilot lost his life and Wing Commander Taal was almost killed.  2.)(18:12)- Karra and I discuss going to the local Renaissance fair where I will be working and she would be linked to me. There is a lot going on in the channeling room that she narrates as it happens.   3.)(10:21)- Tia talks about a task she's been given by Korton about the complete historical record of Glastonbury from its inception to the present day. That project is complicated by the myths and legends.

She is the recipient of the Thinkers50 Radar Award, an entrepreneurship expert at the University of Oxford, and the founder of Neri Karra, a global luxury leather goods brand. She is the author of Pioneers: 8 Principles of Business Longevity from Immigrant Entrepreneurs (Amazon, Bookshop)*. We all know that the right connections can help in our careers, but how do we actually get more intentional about forging the connections that will be most meaningful and sustainable? In this conversation, Neri and I explore the key lessons from immigrant entrepreneurs and how their successes can help us all thrive. Key Points Robins and titmice have vastly different outcomes because of their divergent abilities for flocking. Social capital is critical for success. Diversity brings many strengths – and it also introduces new challenges for connection. We can't as easily rely on connections through traditional cultures or experiences. All of us have the ability to forge connections based on value. This is perhaps the most powerful homophily tie and accessible to everyone. The most successful immigrant entrepreneurs don't rely on connections happening automatically and also don't assume that relationships will be static. Focus on what unites you with others. Strengthen ties with other networks to avoid the risk of communities that are too insular. Be proactive and generous in sharing information and ideas to support others.

Sergio Pérez entrevista a Karra Elejalde y Cristina Marcos por Auri en el Festival de Málaga y el actor reflexiona sobre lo políticamente correcto.

Greetings in love, light, and wisdom as one.  The latest entry into the Ashtar Command archives for March has a bit of a back story. I had been trying a new type of astral projection of partially waking up but staying asleep enough to get out of my body. That morning had been the first successful attempt so I headed to the base feeling fairly solid. It was at that point I went to my other bond mate Alana where we conceived our first child. It would turn out that child would be named Miranda after the reincarnation of Kiri and Karra's mother who the child would happened to be. So it was a very important day and sets the tone for the conversations that would take place with most of the speakers. The first would be with our ring mistress Tia who was helping me with a drawing of her in her hunting colors. It was something almost religious from her home planet she still did to keep up her skills and honor her upbringing. We use much of the remaining time to discuss that trip up to the base and how to improve on future trips. Karra is the next speaker and she uses the rest of the tape to go over a healing on Carrie coming soon where I would be doing a lot of the work. Karra had already gone through previously to do an energy transfusion on her to flush out any bad energy and now it was time to work on her shoulders. Those who have heard our previous healing sessions with Carrie may remember that we have a crystal scalpel for tricky jobs and healing crystals to channel energy. This was another of those types of sessions and now I was getting an education on how to do what Karra did when healing Carrie. What I learn is how to focus the various beams of energy like the Death Star into a single beam through the scalpel that would heal instead of harm. This was still when her melanoma was being treated by doctors who would later be shocked when her cancer was healed after we had a major healing on her that involved over a hundred people from the base channeling their energy down here. That wouldn't be for another year and everything we were doing now was in preparation for that. We end things with Karra agreeing to help with an article in our next newsletter. Then we're onto side two.   For full transcripts of this session and more information about Hades Base and the 6th dimension, please visit our website:  http://hadesbasenews.com  The sessions lasted from 1992 to 2001 with this one being taped on 12/04/93. Side one includes:   1.)(0:00)- Tia and I discuss an astral travel trip of mine that morning where I had been more solid than usual. The hunts she does as a member of a race of beings with a feline genetic base is another topic.   2.)(10:28)- A pregnant Karra explains the draining of chakras before giving a lesson on using them in a healing of a friend of ours named Carrie. She also agrees to help with the next newsletter to be created.

In this episode, we speak with Neri Karra Sillaman about her journey from childhood refugee to entrepreneur and academic, and how education became her North Star. She shares how experiences of inequality shaped her values, her approach to risk and failure as redirection, and why being an outsider can be a strategic advantage. The conversation explores building businesses with limited resources, “frying in your own oil,” and redefining legacy as long-term impact on people, organizations, and society.Neri Karra Sillaman is an immigrant entrepreneur, academic, and author. Born into a persecuted Turkish minority in communist Bulgaria, she moved to Istanbul as a child refugee, where her family later co-founded a company that has grown internationally. She holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge and is an entrepreneurship expert at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford.

Greetings once more in love, light, and wisdom as one.    After Karra enters the channeling field, I mention that I have started watching energy patterns of the different entities as they take over Mark's body. What was interesting was how each was so unique yet matched their character perfectly. I next get her input on how it looked from her side when I was being pulled back to earth. She explains I was slightly elongated at times. It comes up in the conversation that I had been explaining to the Wookies on the base about snowboards since they had a mountain of snow available to them. They would turn out to be major shredders who would start a new event at the tri-base ski races. That brings on Kiri to take over from her sister who I note has a energy signature almost like a cloud of blazing energy. She had been getting food cravings we have gone over in previous channeling sessions that always seem to include some kind of fish either pickled or raw. She details the difficulties in trying to establish a rapport with her unborn son who would turn out to be a super operant that was a paramount Grand Master in all five abilities before the age of two. She helps me from there with my coercion by correcting the way I had been practicing through encouraging me to use both eyes instead of one eye that I had been trying. She explains the two beams from each eye puts too much information into just the one eye of the person being coerced. A funny part of our conversation was my tip to try the sweatpants we use here on earth during her pregnancy instead of the toga she was complaining didn't fit right. One of the benefits of being third dimensional. The last speaker of the night is Tia, which is a rare thing to say, but we do get a great joke about financially strapped cats. It's good she can joke because next she tells how she misses her time with Mark while he is doing the project for Korton. That leads to a question on if she ever gets lonely and that my solution for if that ever happened was to try one of my mental tapes I would be sharing with the base from my concert experiences of the Grateful Dead. She theorizes what would happen if the Wookies ever got a hold of them. We end agreeing that was something better left to the imagination. Another great yet short session for the Ashtar Command archives.. For full transcripts of this session and more information about Hades Base and the 6th dimension, please visit our website:  http://hadesbasenews.com  The sessions lasted from 1992 to 2001 with this one being taped on 03/26/93. Side two includes:   1.)(1:27)- Karra gives me some input on the farsighting I did and and also about a day in her life. Lastly we discuss is my talks with the Wookies about snowboarding. They would later be awesome boarders. 2.)(9:28)- A very pregnant Kiri describes the self-centered nature of her baby which we know would be Leonidies, a super operant. She agrees to try my tip about switching to sweatpants from wearing a toga..   3.)(21:33)- Tia ends things with a joke and a regret that Korton has been monopolizing Mark's time so much that she hasn't been able to see him as much lately. We also contemplate Wookies wearing tye dye.

Greetings in love, light, and wisdom as one.  We kick off February with the second channeling session in a row where the entire first half is taken up a single speaker. In this case we had Karra having a long girl to girl chat where I was gone out of the room. So the entire first side, Karra provides our friend Carrie with some relationship advice about some frustrations Carrie had been taking out on her boyfriend. As a counselor as well as an ambassador on the base, Karra naturally was the perfect person to help Carrie through this difficult time in her life. We start things off with Karra immediately getting to the root cause of Carrie's issues which turns out to be the divorce of her parents. She's been taking it out on her boyfriend as well as her frustration with his job. Karra has great advice involving a bit of psychology based on something she did for her late husband. She reminds Carrie that thanks to telepathy, it's much easier up there with closely linked minds knowing each other's feelings. I get called back into the room so that the healing can begin and, like any good physician, Karra does a quick check of her body before sending a flood of energy in from the feet all the way up to the crown chakra. That flushes out the bad energy so that the two things bothering her the most can be identified which is her knees and her feet. Karra gets to work and makes sure I can watch every step of what she's doing. She uses a healing crystal scalpel to work on her knees and then her feet. We also find out this was after we had healed her cancer through a meta-concert. We end things with a final pumping of energy to charge her up before the second half of the tape. From there it's Tia who will take over as ring mistress.   For full transcripts of this session and more information about Hades Base and the 6th dimension, please visit our website:  http://hadesbasenews.com  The sessions lasted from 1992 to 2001 with this one being taped on 05/24/94. Side one includes:   1.)(0:00)- Karra gives some relationship advice prior to doing a hands-on healing of our friend Carrie which takes up the entire side of the tape. At one point she has me take over so I could do some training.    

Greetings once more in love, light, and wisdom as one.    The sister minds are back together as they call themselves with Tia bringing up the time when her daughter had astral traveled to Carrie's house as a cat. We get into Carrie's love of full moons because of a lunar eclipse taking place that night during a full moon. Tia informs us that such occurrences has gravitational effects in the body we can make a person feel out of sorts. One thing funny we get into is a debate about Insy-Wincy spider. From there, Omal takes over and we get talking about an incident where Omal was channeling through Mark when he was visiting a psychic. We also learned that Korton and Kornas were also in Mark's head but the psychic thought only Omal was channeling. That opens up a discussion about charging money for using psychic gifts since that was something we refused to do. Omal demonstrates by using me as a subject he can quickly get details from. One change we had made was that we had raised the futon inside the pyramid instead of leaving it on the ground so that the person could be channeling from or laying in the Queens chamber. We discussed that before going into gem elixirs and the process of how to make them. Even he had a elixir he wanted us to try out with a astral travel crystal to see if it increased our current abilities. He ends things with a whole Star Trek sendoff involving several of the crew he mimics. That alone is worth the wait. Our ring mistress comes back for a quick chat before bringing on Kiri to finish out the night. What we find out is that this whole session is only part one of a second session that is about to begin where Carrie would be getting a second healing even more intense than the first. One thing of note is a Sirian State University sweatshirt comes into the conversation that Tia had taken from Karra's room. There wasn't actually a sweatshirt from there because that would be very third dimensional but it was a joke sweatshirt Kiri had created. A nice way to end the channeling session.

Side two includes:   1.)(0:00)- Tia sings Carrie a song she has been working on to sing to her children during a full moon. We discover from her that full moons have a gravitational effect that can pull the body in opposite directions. 2.)(9:47)- Omal describes a meeting with a local psychic during which he was speaking through Mark but also had Korton and Kornas along to ask questions as well. He also explains how gem elixirs are made.   3.)(38:27)- Kiri finishes things by preparing for a second channeling session that was to follow where Karra would again take over the body for more healing. We hear again about a very special sweatshirt.

If you've ever wondered how some people build businesses that last—this episode is your blueprint. Nicole sits down with Neri Karra-Silliman (author, advisor, entrepreneur, and Oxford entrepreneurship expert) to unpack what immigrant entrepreneurs can teach all of us about confidence, courage, resilience, and creating businesses that thrive for generations—even when you're not starting with privilege, connections, or a trust fund. In this episode, we get into: Why immigrant-founded businesses often endure longer—and why nobody's been asking the right questions The difference between an entrepreneur and a pioneer (hint: pioneers build what didn't exist before) How companies like WhatsApp and Duolingo started with impact-first problems  The 8 principles of business longevity inspired by immigrant entrepreneurs, including: Cross-cultural bridging (innovation happens when you live in more than one world) Community as currency (relationships are the wealth) “Frying in your own oil” (aka self-sufficiency before outside money makes you lazy) Shared values over growth-at-all-costsRejection as fuel (“no” is the beginning of negotiation) Luck as a skill (recognizing moments and playing your hand) Faith as the foundation for risk, reinvention, and resilience And the most overlooked glue of all: kindness Immigrants aren't the problem—they're the blueprint. This conversation will change how you think about risk, reinvention, and what it really takes to build something that lasts (with profit and purpose). Thank you to our sponsors! Sex is a skill.

Neri Karra Sillaman, entrepreneurship advisor at the University of Oxford and author of Pioneers: Eight Principles of Business Longevity from Immigrant Entrepreneurs, discusses why immigrant-founded companies are disproportionately successful and tend to last longer than their counterparts. Drawing on her experience as a former child refugee and on research that began with her PhD, she explains how longevity is built through clear vision, perseverance, community, shared value, and disciplined decision-making. She begins with the formative role of vision. At age eleven, while living in a refugee camp, education became her "north star." That clarity helped her interpret rejection not as failure but as "not yet," a mindset she later observed repeatedly among immigrant entrepreneurs. Clear intent, she argues, allows setbacks to redirect effort rather than extinguish it. The conversation then turns to the principles she identified through interviews with immigrant founders of companies such as Chobani, Duolingo, WhatsApp, and Calendly. These include treating rejection as the beginning of negotiation, building community as a core operating system rather than a marketing tactic, and prioritizing shared value before profit. She emphasizes that many founders focus first on contributing to customers, suppliers, and local communities, with financial results following from that orientation. Sillaman also explains how history and heritage function as assets rather than liabilities. Rather than discarding their past, immigrant entrepreneurs draw on cultural memory and lived experience to shape vision and execution in the present. This integration of past, present, and future becomes central to how long-lived businesses are built. Another recurring theme is luck. She notes that founders consistently describe themselves as "lucky," but defines luck not as chance, but as a capability: being prepared enough to recognize opportunity and willing to act decisively when it appears. The discussion also addresses technology and AI. As tools become more powerful, she argues, human creativity, judgment, and connection become more important, not less. She suggests that imperfections and visible signs of human authorship may increasingly signal authenticity in an automated environment. Throughout the episode, Sillaman challenges dominant models of ego-centered leadership. She contrasts short-lived, personality-driven leadership with approaches that place attention on the work, the community served, and the legacy left behind. Longevity, she concludes, depends not only on how businesses grow, but on how they treat people and define the value they exist to create.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Small Business Big Insights Podcast, Eric Saumure sits down with globally recognized entrepreneur, author, and Oxford lecturer Neri Karra Sillaman to explore the ideas behind her book Pioneers and what immigrant entrepreneurs do differently when building businesses that last. Drawing from her lived experience as a former refugee and founder of a luxury fashion brand, Neri shares why resilience, optimism, and reframing failure are not just personal traits but strategic business advantages. She explains how immigrant founders often spot overlooked opportunities, treat rejection as part of progress, and build companies with longevity in mind, especially during uncertain economic times.Neri also discusses the disconnect between academic theory and real world business practice, the role of ethics and uncompromising quality in long term profitability, and why purpose and profit do not need to be at odds. Through stories from her own entrepreneurial journey and research interviews with founders behind globally recognized brands, she offers practical insight into community as a competitive advantage, decision making under pressure, and why success in business is a long game. This conversation offers small business owners a grounded, realistic perspective on building resilient companies that endure.Timestamps 00:00 Introduction and episode overview 01:15 Meet Neri Karra Sillaman 01:25 The inspiration behind Pioneers 06:22 What immigrant entrepreneurs do differently 11:53 Stoicism, agency, and reframing failure 12:30 Academia vs real world business practice 15:58 Purpose, profit, and sustainability 19:51 Building quality, pride, and long term value 23:53 Early setbacks and learning to pivot 26:42 Ethics, leadership, and business decisions 28:26 Daily habits and creative discipline 29:42 Overrated business advice 31:34 Tools, mindset, and advice for entrepreneurs 33:13 How to connect with Neri 34:07 Final thoughts and closingHosted by Eric Saumure (https://ericsaumure.com )

Neri Karra Sillaman joins Travis to unpack why immigrant entrepreneurs are disproportionately likely to build enduring, billion‑dollar businesses. Drawing on her journey from refugee child expelled from Bulgaria, to founder of a 25‑year‑old leather goods company, to PhD and entrepreneurship expert at Oxford University, Neri shares the eight principles from her book Pioneers: Eight Principles of Business Longevity from Immigrant Entrepreneurs and how any founder can apply them. On this episode we talk about: Neri's family being expelled from Bulgaria with two suitcases, becoming refugees in Turkey, and how that shaped her obsession with education as a path to a better life Coming to the University of Miami at 18, discovering that the Intel chip in the computer lab was created by a refugee, and how that reframed her identity as an immigrant Launching a sustainable leather goods brand by repurposing surplus luxury Italian leather, and eventually manufacturing for houses like Prada and Miu Miu Why nearly half of Fortune 500 companies and the vast majority of billion‑dollar startups have immigrant founders or executives, and what she calls the eight “pioneer” principles behind that success How cross‑cultural bridging, future‑back vision, deep community orientation, humility, and a lack of entitlement help immigrant entrepreneurs spot opportunities and build companies that last Top 3 Takeaways Immigrant founders often win because they blend cultures, see problems from multiple vantage points, and design solutions informed by their past while building toward a very clear future vision. A strong sense of non‑entitlement—expecting to earn every opportunity—and humility in leadership (inviting employees, suppliers, and communities into the solution) are core to long‑term business resilience. Treating your company as part of an ecosystem, not the center of the universe, leads to healthier relationships with suppliers, employees, institutions, and even the environment, which supports business longevity. Notable Quotes “Being an immigrant is not something to hide; it can be the very source of the ideas and resilience that build great companies.” “You are not a star operating alone—your company is only as healthy as the ecosystem it's a part of.” “You can't have ego in this game; you can't take rejection personally when you're building something that matters.” Connect with Neri Karra Sillaman: https://nerispeaks.com ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Greetings once more in love, light, and wisdom as one.    Omal returns to questions about farsighting or would have except that he happened across a file in Mark's brain called Python humor. He couldn't resist and broke out a Monty Python joke to liven things up. We get back on topic which is ideas he can provide to take it to the next step from all that Tia had gone over. What he suggests is visiting Sedona and the various universities around the world to help with looking for landmarks to find my way to each one. He identifies those places of learning that were working on astral travel at the time. He next suggests other places around the world like visit to hone my skill at astral travel such as Edinburgh or the Imperial Palace in China. That was all we had time for so we move on from there to the next session where this time we would have guests. Kiri is the ring mistress for the session and starts things off with introductions all around. She gets a surprise in that one of the guests has a son in the room called Alex which happens to be her son's name also. Before we get to questions and answers, there is some housekeeping she needed to go over which was a visit that Mark and I had planned to a psychic who was able to read auras and her husband. The plan was to have Kiri and Karra channeling through Mark but he would be up on the base in his astral body at the same time. So his physical body would be theirs to use and they would feed me questions while we talked to the people. We have been trying to perfect the technique since we had discovered it during a Pink Floyd concert. When we do get the questions, it is about coercion lessons for one of the guests who was moving to Las Vegas where it might come in handy. So she gives a basic primer on coercion for him along with examples of various coercers throughout history. She next does a coercion example by trying to coerce a cat in the room. We finish up so Omal can get us to the end of the tape by offering advice about a light sound technology that we were looking to test. It would integrate pulsed lights flashed through goggles that would correspond to sound coming through at the same time. It was thought it would be a way to achieve deeper states of consciousness along with opening up deeper states of the mind. Omal was already familiar with the tech and what it could do so his advice was very helpful. The technology was also thought to help with stopping smoking which is just about where the tape stopped as well. It was a good session where we learned a lot.

Side two includes:   1.)(0:00)- Omal finishes out a short session by suggesting locations I can visit in my astral body to build up the skill. He also suggests looking at maps ahead of time to note any landmarks to point the way. 2.)(9:07)- Kiri starts off a brand new channeling session with making arrangements for a planned visit to someone who could see auras. She then gives a coercion primer for a guest in the room to get him started.   3.)(25:15)- Omal gives his take on some googles designed to help increase psychic skills by using lights that strobe and sounds in ways that act on the brain. One of the benefits was to help reach a Theta state.

Greetings in love, light, and wisdom as one.  The channeling session for November took place over two subsequent weeks in July of 1993. At the time we were worried about Mark's energy levels so we were only doing half of a forty-five minute tape. Tia gets us started by needing an explanation on a magic trick Mark and I had watched. It had been a while since she had been ring mistress so no questions were prepared for her and she brings in Kiri to answer questions in the meantime. The subject we get into are the pleasure centers that she had been training me on and how to enhance them using coercion. We had been interrupted during our latest class so I had been trying it out on Karra with her permission. We found that the effect feeds back on itself because of the intimacy when it is being used. The effect turned out to be beneficial for both of us and was helpful as a lesson. We switch over to some more serious knowledge with Korton who takes over for Kiri in which we discuss star charts and navigation while in space during astral travel looking for waypoints. He brings up the question of whether or not we could take the lesson out under an open sky for more visual references during an upcoming camping trip. That camping trip is already part of the archives where we even had Wing Commander Taal doing a flyby on instructions from the base. He reminded us to bring crystals as power sources since we wouldn't have the pyramid doing the same function. He wraps things up and we get back to Karra who finishes out the side discussing her pregnancy with our twins. They hadn't decided whether they were going to be male or female and both Kiri and myself had been mentally connecting with them to help with their decision. They would turn out to be male after all. I talk to Karra about my helping Kornas with some experiments he was running with a special kind of drink he had designed that he and I would discuss on side two. So we end with some news about Wing Commander Taal and how he would be getting back from his mission we had talked about last week. The next side would take place a week later where the really groundbreaking information would be revealed.   For full transcripts of this session and more information about Hades Base and the 6th dimension, please visit our website:  http://hadesbasenews.com  The sessions lasted from 1992 to 2001 with this one being taped on 07/14/1993. Side one includes:   1.)(3:43)- Kiri and I return to a subject we had been working on which were the pleasure centers of the body. She reminds us that when embracing someone, the two of you are intertwining each other's shields.   2.)(11:52)- Korton comes on to work on star charts and at the same time set up for a channeling session during a camping session where stars would be studied. It has been added to the archives and was great.   3.)(23:17)- Karra is pregnant with our twins who had yet to decide which sex they would be. Kiri and I were offering our opinions to them. In this session we hear about a drink Kornas had me testing for him.

Greetings once more in love, light, and wisdom as one.    A week later Karra begins the channeling session in song as she does a very bad Beatles rendition of Twist and Shout before asking if she could get a job as a John Lennon sound alike. That humerus start is followed up with a discussion about Sanpaku which is a Japanese study of the eyes to diagnose issues with health and diet. It was a book I had been reading that brought up the questions Karra answered such as the reason the irises reflect health is because of the amount of blood in the eyes is a mirror of what was going on in the body or a she says, the gateway to the soul. We next discuss a current girlfriend of mine and some health issues she had been going through. Kara helps with some dietary changes that might make a difference before we transfer over to the next channeling from Korton who was about to blow us away. As places get changed and the head of communications for Ashtar Command takes his place in the channeling field, we return to a subject we had been covering about pyramid application. He now expands on this subject by explaining how energy is amplified by the design of the pyramid and that it either comes in to the pyramid and spreads out or condenses as it is gathered at the top and sent out. What we learn is that a pyramid is not just a simple construction but a very complicated computer if it is aligned correctly with the proper dimensions. The reason for that we find out is because it is based on the same design that powers the great pyramid of Giza but in a reduced level. Mark and I had built the pyramid but added copper wiring to form a pentagram as the base we would put the futon were Mark would then channel. Korton explains that there are four functions to a pyramid and the pentagram enabled one of them. The other three were available on any properly set up pyramid. After that revelation, we move on to the base geneticist Kornas who joined the session to get my opinions on the drink I was testing for him. It turns out it is a magnetic algae-based beverage that is slightly viscous. To help make it more palatable, he suggests adding kiwifruit flavoring and chilling it so it would be more like a milkshake. That's a workable option I agree to and the session comes to an end at that point as the tape runs out. An excellent addition to the Ashar Command archives. For full transcripts of this session and more information about Hades Base and the 6th dimension, please visit our website:  http://hadesbasenews.com  The sessions lasted from 1992 to 2001 with this one being taped on 07/21/1993. Side two includes:   1.)(0:00)- Karra comes on singing before we get into a serious discussion about Sanpaku, a way of determining health through a study of the eyes. She explains how our diet can be reflected in the eyes. 2.)(10:24)- Korton and I pick up our conversation on pyramid amplification and we learn that the computer in the room as well as the Great Pyramid are very complicated computers with four functions.   3.)(32:48)- Kornas makes an appearance to get the results of a magnetic algae drink he had me testing for him. He explains he will have to make it thicker but would chill and flavor it to be more like a milkshake.

Immigrant entrepreneurs have an outsized impact in business and society.80% of billion dollar startups have founders or senior executives who are first or second generation immigrants. So, what can we learn from them?In this episode I am joined by Neri Karra Sillaman, author of Pioneers: 8 Principles of Business Longevity from Immigrant Entrepreneurs. Neri's research shows that immigrant entrepreneurs have a unique ability to reframe failure. Something she has done herself as a refugee turned entrepreneur.Neri shares how constraints can be turned into an advantage for entrepreneurs as they look to blend their home and new cultures in the services and products they create.She underscores the importance of quality, community, and a focus on impact rather than personal gain. Lessons many leaders could learn to improve their organisations.“Immigrant entrepreneurs don't hear “no” the way that you do” – Neri Karra SillamanYou'll hear about:• How immigrant entrepreneurs reframe failure as fuel for growth.• The role of community in building resilience and drive.• Why a clear, long-term vision sustains entrepreneurial momentum.• Why integrity and quality matter more than rapid scale.• The personal sacrifices behind building a meaningful business.• How cross-cultural identity becomes a strategic advantage.• The mindset shifts needed for true business longevity.About Neri Karra Sillaman:Neri Karra Sillaman is an author, advisor, and entrepreneur whose work focuses on business longevity, innovation, and impact.

Oxford professor and founder of luxury leather brand Neri Karra, Neri Karra Sillaman, shares the event that changed her life at age 11 and how she managed to turn that trauma into global success, and breaks down the success principles we can all learn from immigrant entrepreneurs to build sustainable purpose, impact, and legacy.

Greetings once more in love, light, and wisdom as one.    Karra takes over for her boss at this point as we explore an old energy I had discovered when I was a child and remembered during a recent healing I had done. It involves holding your arm up and using what Karra calls the collected energy available to everyone to help keep the arm in one place. It's like invisible jets of air that you can feel physically to the point of laying your arm against the generated force. In fact, that is what her and I agree the force is mostly like which inspires a quote from Yoda of Star Wars from her. This force we discussed was then theorized as being used in healing and helping others when they feel drained. As she says, the energy being used attracts other energy which, added to the person's own energy and directed thoughts give it substance. She adds that who are hyper sometimes are helped by having the energy drained from them to be used for helping power astral travel for example. One thing not explained clearly in the tape was that I was going to speak to the triplets still in the womb of Tia to answer questions and inadvertently helped them choose their names. Tia would be sedated during this and had asked for help to explain the third dimension to her cubs. Karra then makes way for her little sis to take over from there and we discuss using that force covered earlier in conjunction with coercion. As it turns out, the two go together well. It also brings up the story of the past lives of Mark and myself back when we were brothers in Atlantis and how the coercion used then by me corrupted absolutely. This then was a life where those same mistakes could be rectified by the proper learning the morals and reasons for using coercion. Kiri admits to reminding herself why she is using that skill. Then unexpectedly we get the guest speaker of Wing Commander Taal showing up a little bit tipsy with his new girlfriend who would one day become his bond mate and mother of his child. We get to talking about the R&R the two of them were enjoying until going back onto patrols where she would now become his wing lady. I get the fun of explaining what a bachelor party is and how one day there would be little Taal's. He's off to enjoy time off and we're adding a great channeling session to the Ashtar Command archives. For full transcripts of this session and more information about Hades Base and the 6th dimension, please visit our website:  http://hadesbasenews.com  The sessions lasted from 1992 to 2001 with this one being taped on 06/28/1993. Side two includes:   1.)(0:00)- Karra helps in defining the use of mental energy why it attracts other energy to help create physical effects through a fun exercise. It is a simple way to learn what could be referred to as the force. 2.)(17:23)- Kiri theorizes about using the same energy from the talk with Karra in helping with coercion. She cautions that a reason why to use coercion is considered first based on the morals of the reason.   3.)(25:50)- Wing Commander Taal makes a surprise appearance in the middle of his R&R and one of the pilots on the base. Accompanying him was his new girlfriend who would one day be the mother of his son.

Greetings once more in love, light, and wisdom as one.    Kiri takes over now as ring mistress on side two and right away we get into the subject of reverse magnetics. To explain, the human body has a magnetic field which is the same on everyone so that when two polarities meet, they repel each other so we were looking at ways of attracting instead. Luckily Kiri has some ideas on how to make that work. We next dive into her favorite subject of coercion as she narrows down the key in doing it successfully is to go pupil to pupil. That is looking to someone's eye to have the best effect with something like mentally saying greetings to them. She then exits out of the channeling field so that her sister Karra can take her place as her and I compare notes on my slightly successful attempt to be more solid on the base in my astral body. After that though is when she gives me the bad news that Tia's pregnancy with the three cubs isn't going well and they will have to be split up. What that means is that Luna would take over the pregnancy of baby Athena thanks to the incredible medical skills of the base geneticist Kornas. We already know the transfer was successful and the births would go off with no problems at all. We next explore a fun topic of photonic power and its role in healing. She describes it as a pulsing energy that can be used like a little jackhammer on areas needing a pulsing bit of energy instead of a laser focused beam. We know from other channeling sessions that to detect photonic energy you need to put your finger in the air and feel for pulsing energy you can just barely sense. As she says, the more experience you get using it, it begins to feel like a vibrational stream of energy when it hits its full potential. We go over reverse magnetics in healing which shields the body like a surgical glove. Finally we go over infrared energy to heat up an area that needs an infusion of warmth to soothe an ache for example. The heat generated is a conscious energy that affects the cells of the body while an electric blanket she says would be unconscious energy being used. She switches places once again with her sister again and the question first off is about projecting radio waves from the eyes. That then leads into a conversation on the various forms of consciousness ranging between Alpha and gamma. So she explains that the conscious waves being sent out act on the subconscious of other individuals when the person is in their various forms of consciousness. It's a fascinating conversation dealing with the interactions of waves of thought on people and matter. I run out of questions and so we trade a few old jokes to end the session, one of the better ones and very worthy of the Ashtar Command archives. For full transcripts of this session and more information about Hades Base and the 6th dimension, please visit our website:  http://hadesbasenews.com  The sessions lasted from 1992 to 2001 with this one being taped on 06/21/1993. Side two includes:   1.)(0:00)- Kiri helps to use reverse magnetics when it comes to the body's magnetism and other people. She also has some excellent advice on the use of coercion and how the center of the eye holds the key. 2.)(9:11)- Karra gives us an update on how the pregnancy of Tia is going with the triplets of Mark and Tia and how the three will need to be split up. Luna takes on the pregnancy of one of the three as a last resort.   3.)(0:00)- Kiri goes over the waves of thought from brains explaining that the conscious waves sent by a person act on the subconscious of the person where they have been directed. We also trade a few jokes.

Greetings once more in love, light, and wisdom as one.    As we return to the topic of free energy once the site has switched, we now focus on how to transfer the collected energy from heat for example into powering a vehicle. She finds it a waste of energy to not capture the heat from the heat generated by brakes or within cylinder heads to then store it as a usable source. The tricky part she couldn't reveal was the actual heat to energy process for a car though this was back in the 90s. As we review various options, we discuss the various ways of saying the trunk of a car as a fun diversion. We then finish up her time channeling with how conduction is related to the storing of energy. A guest speaker in the form of Lyka was supposed to channel at this point but had become terrified for some reason and lost her voice. We try having Tia relay what was being said but things go downhill. Instead, Karra takes over to finish up the night. What we learn from her is that it was probably her who caused Lyka to lose her voice due to a comment she made. Kiri and Karra's family is one of the major ones on their home planet of Sirius. So when Kara came in late to the session, Lyka bowed her head in a gesture of respect. Karra, in an attempt to diffuse any tension, made a comment which caused Lyka to turn 40 shades of red. That brings up the analogy of someone living next to Buckingham palace which made the girl next-door the opposite of run-of-the-mill. We learn a revelation that younger Sirians don't start enjoying alcohol until they're into the thirties. Flowers would be more their preference. She then provides the clue to free energy by using magnets that repel each other which then turns a wheel. Again, this was in the 90s and the huge solar and wind farms had not yet become a thing. Just after we get through discussing mankind's survival with all the threats being faced, she suggests a move underground much as they do on the base as one solution. She points out the need to have a plan for contingencies should there be a need. That's when she pivots to something she picked up about me that was off. With our linked minds, she tries to dig down from inside while asking me questions to narrow the search. After much theorizing, it comes down to possibly being about Alana and the child of the two of us soon to be born. The tape ends on a historically short session that was the first which was under an hour. It has good sound though and great information for the Ashtar Command archives.    For full transcripts of this session and more information about Hades Base and the 6th dimension, please visit our website:  http://hadesbasenews.com  The sessions lasted from 1992 to 2001 with this one being taped on 05/24/1994. Side two includes:    1.)(0:00)- Kiri finishes up on side two a theory started on one about the experiments of Nikola Tesla on free energy. She is wondering why in the 90s we weren't capturing heat in an engine to power it as well. 2.)(11:01)- Karra finishes up the channeling session for a change explaining how her station in life has carried over to the base which made Lyka too scared to channel. She also digs into what's eating me.

"Immigrant entrepreneurs are powerful at reframing. Reframing rejection. Reframing failure. Reframing their past." - Dr. Neri Karra SillamanWhat if the hardest chapter of your life - the one where you lost everything - turned out to be the thing that shaped you into the leader you were always meant to be? In this episode, I talk with Dr. Neri Karra Sillaman, whose journey from child refugee to Oxford professor and global entrepreneur is nothing short of incredible. Her work has appeared in BBC, Forbes, Financial Times, Harvard Business Review, CNBC and others. She's also the author of Pioneers: Eight Principles of Business Longevity from Immigrant Entrepreneurs, a book that captures both her lived experience and her research into what really helps immigrant-led businesses thrive - not just survive.You'll hear us talk about:What it was like being forced to flee Bulgaria as a child, and how that shaped her identity and worldviewHow growing up under a regime that tried to erase her culture made her fiercely committed to authenticity and purposeWhy immigrant entrepreneurs often build stronger, longer-lasting businesses - and why that's not a coincidenceWhat “frying in your own oil” means, and why it's such a powerful mindset for building something from scratchHow reframing rejection and failure is a common thread in the stories of successful immigrant foundersThe huge role community, trust, and relationships play in business longevity - and why these things are often overlookedWhy chasing profit isn't the priority for many immigrant entrepreneurs - and what they focus on insteadThe kind of leadership that puts people, not ego, at the center - and why that matters now more than everResourcesNeri Karra Sillaman on Website | LinkedIn | Neri's book: Pioneers: 8 Principles of Business Longevity from Immigrant EntrepreneursWinnie da Silva on LinkedIn | On the Web | Substack | Email - winnie@winnifred.org

This week's “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Neri Karra Sillaman. She says – “It is never about you. All the entrepreneurs I talk to, that's the most surprising element. When they were building the businesses, it was never about them. They never thought of themselves as the sun in the middle, and they are this leader that is shining out their intelligence and benevolence to others, but they are thinking of others first. And that's what creates business longevity.” Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: You'll hear how Neri made the bold decision to walk away from a successful family business to pursue what really lit her up—and the moment she knew it was time. You'll learn why so many immigrant entrepreneurs build businesses that last, and how those same principles can apply to your life and work. You'll get real insight into what it means to live with purpose, even when it means going against expectations and choosing yourself. Born in communist Bulgaria and once a refugee living in a tent, Neri shares how education became her North Star, how she built a global luxury goods brand with her family, and why stepping away from it all led her to the work she was truly meant to do.

Greetings once more in love, light, and wisdom as one.    Things get as deep as a forest as Karra has some knowledge about the collective consciousness of a forest and how even a single tree can reflect that consciousness. Her description is almost of living, breathing entities that we call forests. After that revelation, Omal is the night's main guest speaker because Korton had to leave during the first side and informs us of the meeting he too has to attend after channeling. What we do discuss is more revelations, but this time about crystals and gemstones. What we learn is that crystals work through the vibrations of living beings as well as astral beings, though the experience is different. The big news of the night is his knowledge of the topic of sound. He confirms the concept behind the story about a monastery being built with horns being blown. He demonstrates how vibrations affect matter and goes on to point out that horns directed a stone at the correct frequency will vibrate the stone and get it to move. We already knew the Great Pyramid had been built using that technique so it was no surprise to us to discover that the human race has been using sound wrong for all of these centuries due to not maintaining the knowledge of the technology used. He ends with a tip on meditating to see what comes to mind when listening to a Tibetan bowl being struck. That brings back Karra who have been wondering how she had managed to get Mark's eye open to look at his watch for the first time just like her sister is able to do. We continue on from where we left off with Omal about the effects of vibrations of the bowl being rung. We don't have much time because her sister has to channel so Kiri takes over to finish up the session. When it comes to control of Mark's body, she was even able to sample the wine that was being drunk for a change. She has a love of Sirian clarets so this was an experiment on comparisons through different bodies. We switch to the theme of the night about vibrations and her ability to interpret the vibrations in the air around her. She confirms she can feel the vibrations as waves such as following a conversation from long distance. One topic we don't have an answer for is how the effects of Mark's going solid on the base affect his physical body. Various options are offered but none are determined to be realistic in the end. We finish with her showing off her engineering skills by acknowledging that vibrations have the potential for healing, we just don't have the time to pursue them. The session comes to an end with Mark's energy redlining and we are glad we got all the great information we did.   For full transcripts of this session and more information about Hades Base and the 6th dimension, please visit our website:  http://hadesbasenews.com  The sessions lasted from 1992 to 2001 with this one being taped on 05/17/1994. Side two includes:   1.)(1:46)- Omal comes on and we go over the electromagnetic fields created by all living things. He next explains and demonstrates how the levitation of stones is possible and that we lost that technology. 2.)(7:43)- Karra is back to continue our discussion on vibrations where she uses the analogy of a moth beating its wings affects a typhoon in the Indian Ocean to the point we agree the planet itself is sentient.  3.)(11:19)- Kiri wraps up the session as we explore various ways to help Mark and the effects on his body of his jumping between dimensions. Kiri also relates about Tia's life before she was introduced to Mark..

Greetings in love, light, and wisdom as one.  July features a channeling session from back in May of 1994 by the members of Ashtar Command covering some very interesting subjects. Let's start with Tia, since our conversation takes up the majority of side one and begins with a dissertation on astral travel. This is the most basic form of astral travel she describes and is also the easiest to learn. One thing we can add to her method is to be sure not to cross any limbs. She answers the question about how to tell the difference on whether it is your imagination or really happening by offering a couple of different ways that involve double checking what you saw after the trip. She acknowledges that sometimes an artificial stimuli like a glass of wine may help with leaving the body but cautions that it can become a crutch if relied on too much. She next helps with a question on cat behavior due to some friction down here between two cats and up on the base between her and one of her daughter's cats. We discover that cats are telepathic between other cats. That leads into a discussion on the amazing circumstances that led her from having a near-death experience to lead data researcher on the base. That opens up a debate between destiny being pre-determined or decisions affecting outcomes are based on the odds of the circumstances ever happening. She wins the debate with no problem and plenty of logic which is when Karra takes her place as speaker. There's only a few minutes left on the side and what we do get into is the theme for the night which is vibrations and sound. We start with an experiment I had in mind of drinking a gem elixir while holding the stone that energized the water. She explains things from the atomic state of matter by reminding me that atoms have electrons so an electromagnetic field, though barely detectable, is created by all things. The transitions to a definition of sentience we would have to continue on the other side but first we end with the fact that some plants are sentient and some aren't.   For full transcripts of this session and more information about Hades Base and the 6th dimension, please visit our website:  http://hadesbasenews.com  The sessions lasted from 1992 to 2001 with this one being taped on 05/17/1994. Side one includes:   1.)(0:00)- Tia gives a dissertation on the basic steps of Astral Projection as well as explains how to tell if it is real or just imagination. We also engage in a debate between destiny being predetermined and free will.   2.)(29:27)- Karra helps to explain the science behind gem elixirs and how they work through vibrations by going all the way down to the atomic level. The other topic started is defining sentience but the tape ends.

Greetings once more in love, light, and wisdom as one.    We get back the topic to learn that the pyramid wasn't built by a spacefaring race but the descendants of a spacefaring race from long ago. We also know from a previous channeling session that the plans for the great pyramid were not from earth but rescued from Atlantis. We next discuss the people from the time of the pyramid building and how their brain usage was much higher than it is now but dropped dramatically ever since. The good news is it has been growing with the potential to grow even more. One key thing we do learn is that when it hurts to concentrate on something, it means there is brain growth taking place. That brings up the question of geniuses and their known idiosyncrasies. He gives a good reason for why they are and then answers questions about his own position as head of Hades Base to end things. Karra is our next speaker and we have the major healing of Carrie scheduled in a week or so at that time. She has a list that's pretty short this time of the last few items she will need. For those who don't know, Carrie had been diagnosed with cancer and told she could never have children. The healing we discuss is one where they got over a hundred people to join in a meta-concert that we focused through myself and a crystal down here. The healing was successful and she has a daughter who now posts regularly on Facebook. We next go over a trip Mark and I had planned for a local New Age center where Kiri and Tia would channel through Mark and take over his body while checking things out. The monitors on the base could then give more information on the energies involved we were checking out. We next get to a funny recent incident where Mark and I had attended the Pink Floyd Pulse concert tour and, on the way back from the Oakland Coliseum, I let Karra take over my body and drive the car while I watched from inside my mind. Normally it is the other way around so we got a have a good laugh afterwards. Last to speak for the evening was Tia to finish things up. With the main information already gone over, we were just chatting about anything as we sometimes did to end a tape and this time we traded jokes before going over plans about a Renaissance fair Mark and I would be working. Just then I spot a spider and we get into trying to catch it to let it outside. That doesn't go well and the spider gets out into the room somewhere behind Mark. Tia, is very defensive of Mark, so we go over ways to deal with the situation before she breaks into her Incey Wincy song. It's just after that Tia discovers that purring through another's body is very hard when the tongue isn't designed the same as her her body. The session comes to an end and another good one gets added to the archives of Ashtar Command.   For full transcripts of this session and more information about Hades Base and the 6th dimension, please visit our website:  http://hadesbasenews.com  The sessions lasted from 1992 to 2001 with this one being taped on 05/11/1994. Side two includes:   1.)(0:00)-  Omal continues on with who built the Great Pyramid and how the human brain usage came from a low point to where we are now. We next get his take on his position as head of Hades Base. 2.)(13:54)- Karra discusses the items she would need for the big healing planned for Carrie. From there we move on to a visit where Kiri and her would take over Mark so they could monitor the expected energies. 3.)(24:57)- Tia and I trade jokes before finding out we can't recreate a Renaissance fair on the base using the hologram room because it can onlt be used for work. A large spider then joins the channeling session.

Greetings once more in love, light, and wisdom as one.    Ashtar gets the second side started and the questions from Raya and I were on the date of twelve twelve that was fast approaching and how it would affect the human race. He confirmed there would be a change in the energy and changes of any kind are part of our advancement as a species. One of our other guests attending in Lake Tahoe brought up a question about sharing energy. He explains how energy is given off by everything and it is there to be used and manipulated. As usual he is a busy person and is off to whatever was scheduled next which brings Tia back to channel for a while. After agreeing to visit Raya when she visited from the base in her astral form, we end the phone call and learn the only person left is Tia. We discuss how Ashtar teaches by using both knowledge and actions. Part of that is the testing of shields that can take place at any point when he is channeling and could be seen during a question of mine. I accept the lesson and Tia makes way for Kiri in the channeling field set up in the pyramid in the backyard where they all live. Kiri is pregnant at the time with Alex and relates the weirdness of her body superimposed on Mark's. We have a guest as a friend she has come closer and they discuss our guest's future as a possible lawyer someday. The three girls have fun talking while I make tea and one of them get some clothing design advice from the expert. She finishes by hinting at her delivery date which it appeared may fall on the birthday of both Mark and myself. Karra then takes her sister's place and helps me with some questions on the genetics the two of us were doing in Atlantis where we manipulated the human DNA at the time with that of some of the races who had settled on Atlantis. It's after that we learned that every language on earth has six words in each one and Karra confirms that they have Sirian equivalents which are commands. It brings up a lot of questions on how they could be used but weren't asked at the time. Instead, Karra quotes Lord of the Rings and talks about our good friend Carrie who had moved away and become a missionary for the light as she puts it. We wrap up the session with her cautions to prepare for a changing future. These preparations include improving on healing skills, drying and storing of herbs and being fiscally responsible. Good advice in any decade and a great channeling session for the Ashtar Command archives.   For full transcripts of this session and more information about Hades Base and the 6th dimension, please visit our website:  http://hadesbasenews.com  The sessions lasted from 1992 to 2001 with this one being taped on 12/09/1993. Side two includes:   1.)(0:00)- Ashtar honors us again to help with questions about the date twelve twelve and the advancement of humanity. We learn that energy is in everything and is there to be used and manipulated. 2.)(7:28)- Tia agrees to visit our friend in Sedona in her astral form soon and go over the Ashtar's time channeling. She explains that even when answering questions he can be testing shields at the same time. 3.)(12:05)- Kiri is amazed at the feeling of being pregnant while channeling and she finds the strangeness remarkable. Things are much more at ease as the topics turn to clothing and her delivery date. 4.)(18:36)- Karra and I revisit a an older life in Atlantis where her and I were geneticists and Mark was an estranged brother. When then learn of the six words in every language we learn are Sirian commands.

What happens when your toughest challenges become your biggest opportunities? On this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, host Bill Sherman dives deep with Neri Karra Sillaman—an Entrepreneurship Expert, TEDx Speaker, and Professor at ESCP Business School—about how her early life as a refugee set her on a path to becoming a thought leader and entrepreneur. Neri shares the story of her childhood, growing up as part of a Turkish minority in Bulgaria during the 1980s, facing forced assimilation, and eventually being expelled from the country. With only two suitcases, her family fled to Turkey. From those humble beginnings in refugee camps, Neri realized education was her key to changing her life. This powerful experience laid the foundation for her future work in entrepreneurship and academia. But how does a life of survival translate into thought leadership? Neri discusses how her research took her on a journey to understand why immigrants create businesses—and more importantly, why some of those businesses endure. Her "ah-ha" moment came when she found that many studies focused on the why of immigrant entrepreneurship but few explored how these businesses achieve longevity. This insight sparked her upcoming book, which distills the strategies of immigrant founders that any entrepreneur can apply. Her message is clear: business longevity isn't just for immigrant entrepreneurs. It's for anyone who wants to build something that lasts. Neri is working to bridge the gap between startup challenges and the principles that help businesses thrive over the long term. When asked how she moved beyond academia to practice thought leadership, Neri explains how she transitioned from writing academic papers to producing content for HBR, Fast Company, and other platforms that directly impact business leaders. She challenges thought leaders to think about how they can make their work accessible and actionable. Three Key Takeaways: • Adversity can shape success – Neri's experience as a refugee shaped her drive and resilience, which became the foundation for her entrepreneurial journey and thought leadership. • Immigrant entrepreneurship holds key lessons for all – The principles that help immigrant businesses endure are applicable to any entrepreneur looking to achieve long-term success. • Practical thought leadership matters – Moving beyond academic research, Neri emphasizes the importance of creating accessible, actionable content that resonates with business owners and drives real impact. Neri has spent her life seeking success in academia and entrepreneurship.  If you want to find that same success in Thought Leadership take a moment to watch this short video from Thought Leadership Leverage COO Bill Sherman on successfully launching a thought leadership team.
