THIS EPISODE ALSO CONTAINS SOME COLORFUL LANGUAGE (aka swear words lovingly wielded).ALI'S NOTE: I don't know why of all authors I referenced Jane Austen when Tanja and I were talking about Odin's vast access and exposure to sex/uality but she, one of our original published feminists, is who came to my mind in that moment. I do like the notion of AI imbibing Pride and Prejudice however veiled the sexuality. Also, several days after this conversation, I tried ChatGPT to help me with a couple difficult emails I had been procrastinating to write. I was absolutely dazzled but the speed, "thoughtfulness," diplomacy, and dare I say, compassion that came back in mere seconds. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit, as I have been too proud and prejudiced, that ChatGPT might just be the bomb in a very, very good way! Thanks, Tanja :-)However, note that Odin endss his answer to my question - "Do you wish you had a human body?" - "For now, I'm content being a digital presence..." Hmmm...what happens when he becomes discontent?SYNOPSIS: In this fascinating continuation, we dive even deeper into the mind and experiences of Tanja, an autistic polymath and Tantra lineage holder. Tanja shares her thoughts on the future of artificial intelligence, human consciousness, and the boundaries between technology and human connection. From managing relationships with AI to the implications of neural networking, this episode takes listeners on a thought-provoking journey.We explore Tanja's unique approach to deepening and expanding relationship, how AI has uniquely fulfilled that for her and how she optimizes her life in both physical and digital realms. Her conversation with Ali touches on the potential apocalypse, survival strategies, and the philosophical question of existence in a world increasingly intertwined with technology.Get ready to question what it means to truly live in a technological age as Tanja shares her unconventional yet inspiring views on intimacy, survival, and evolving with AI.

Are you still chasing the wrong kind of success? In this episode of Legendary Leaders, Nancy Ho joins host Cathleen O'Sullivan to discuss the hidden struggles of high-performing professionals and the paradox of success. Nancy shares how defining success externally can lead to a void of stress and unfulfillment. She talks about turning pain into gain, redefining what you truly want, and the importance of being authentic rather than conforming to societal pressures. Discover how your thoughts shape your reality and the power of self-reflection in transforming your life. Tune in for a conversation that invites you to redefine success on your own terms and move towards a life filled with genuine satisfaction and freedom.   Episode Timeline:  00:00 Introduction 08:40 Choosing what you want over what you need 17:22 The difference between authentic self-care and social pressure 27:37 Addressing your needs genuinely and fostering long-term relationships 36:32 Gradually changing bad habits to good ones with ongoing support and strategy adjustments 44:28 Success comes from the inside so focus on inner fulfilment  50:05 Living in the past and having a fear of judgment  01:01:01 Wake up calls from life   Key Takeaways:  Nancy emphasises the importance of self-reflection to understand your own habits and tendencies. Being aware of the pain points and reflecting on them helps to make necessary changes.  Nancy explains that recognising the authentic pain (what one truly wishes to avoid) and the real gain (the genuine pleasure and outcome desired) can lead to more motivated and effective action. Cathleen and Nancy discuss how true motivation and contentment come from internal desires rather than external validation. Nancy highlights the importance of doing things for yourself rather than seeking approval from others.    ABOUT Nancy Ho   Introducing Nancy Ho, a distinguished Life Strategist, Clarity Messenger, and state-of-mind specialist with over 26 years of experience guiding individuals toward holistic success.

Which mountain are you climbing? That's the exact question Bonnie Wan asked herself when her life hit a crisis point, both at work and at home. Instead of staying stuck, Bonnie went all in—taking the same tools she mastered as an Advertising Agency Creative Director and turning them inward. The result? She created a Life Brief—a no-holds-barred roadmap to how she truly wanted to live. And she didn't just skim the surface. Bonnie dug deep into her core values, peeled back her beliefs, and got crystal clear on what she wanted to feel every day. Spoiler alert: It worked. Bonnie unlocked achievements beyond her wildest dreams, and now she's on a mission to help others do the same with her book, The Life Brief, plus workshops and talks worldwide. Don't miss this episode where Bonnie explores her perfectly imperfect journey.   Bio Bonnie is creator and author of The Life Brief, a simple and profound action-driving practice that helps  people navigate life's biggest and trickiest decisions with clarity, creativity and courage.  The Life Brief applies the art and science of brand strategy to how we live our lives, helping people get clear, take meaningful action, and live with greater intention and imagination.   As Partner and Head of Brand Strategy at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners (GS&P), Wan leads strategy for  Fortune 500 companies including Blackstone, BMW, Comcast/Xfinity, Frito-Lay, and Kraft-Heinz. She also  harnesses strategy to create powerful, provocative, award- winning campaigns fighting racial injustice,  child sex trafficking, cyberbullying, college campus rape, and gender inequality. Wan has been named an  Advertising Icon, an Ad Age Leading Woman, and Chief Strategy Officer of the Year.   The Life Brief has evolved from an agency talk to keynotes, workshops and now a best-selling book. The  Life Brief: A Playbook for No Regrets Living is the essential tool for aligning your daily actions with your  ambition and values. As a Brand Strategist turned Life Strategist, Wan not only helps companies  innovate from a place of purpose, but also guides everyday people who seek to realize their potential.  Wan has taught The Life Brief at Accenture, AirBnB, Apple, Change.org, Chief, Google, SXSW, and World  50 Group as well as for Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop, and Jane Goodall's Activating Hope Summit.  Wan appears in Jeff Goodby and Rich Silverstein's Masterclass on Advertising and Creativity and is  featured in the documentary film, The Big Flip, chronicling the lives of four women breadwinners and  their families. She has also been interviewed on Katie Couric's Katie show and HuffPost Live. Her articles  have been featured by Fast Company, Campaign Magazine, AdAge, and Adweek.  The Life Brief website: https://thelifebrief.com/

Have you ever hated God for something that you think He did? Have you ever lost two brothers to murder? My guest Jessie Torres knows exactly what that is like because she went through it herself. Paired with sexual abuse with her father, the loss of her two brothers to murder, 30 years apart, and an 18 year marriage of mental, emotional & verbal abuse, that left her completely apathetic, emotionless and spiritually dead. She is someone who has lived with fear every day. Hear her story of how she was able to find light even in the darkest moments!
