Mark Alexander Jackson (born 30 August 1959) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Melbourne Football Club, St Kilda Football Club and Geelong Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and for the South Fremantle Football Club in the West Australian Football League (WAFL). Known as "Jacko", Jackson's colourful and enigmatic personality often resulted in clashes with officials and teammates, which tended to overshadow the fact that he was also a capable full forward. Following his football career, Jackson became notable for several television appearances, including commercials for Jenny Craig, Energizer and Nutri-Grain, along with several feature films. Jackson has also written an autobiography, Dumb Like a Fox, which was released in 1986.   Jackson was born at the Royal Woman's Hospital as one of six children to George Jackson and his wife Frances, and grew up in the eastern Melbourne suburb of Nunawading.  Football career South Fremantle & Richmond (1979–1980) After playing colts and reserves football for Richmond in 1977 and 1978, Jackson started his senior career in the West Australian Football League, spending the 1979 season with South Fremantle. Coach Mal Brown employed Jackson as a forward to protect Ray Bauskis, a skillful but lightweight full-forward. Jackson kicked 53 goals in 22 games and Bauskis 66 in 17 games. South Fremantle finished second in 1979. The night before the second semi-final, Jackson returned to Melbourne after being told that the other players had voted him out of the team. He consequently missed out on playing in the 1979 grand final, which saw the then largest crowd in West Australian football history. Jackson rejoined Richmond for the 1980 season. However, with Michael Roach and Brian Taylor at the club, there was no room for another full forward. Jackson spent the entire 1980 season playing in the reserves and kicked 131 goals. Melbourne (1981–1982) Jackson moved to Melbourne for the 1981 season, coached by Ron Barassi. Jackson performed a handstand in front of the Hawks full back, Kelvin Moore, reportedly after Moore had told him he "wouldn't be a full forward while his arse pointed to the floor". Jackson on Open Mike said it was not pointed at Moore, rather it was directed at umpire Glenn James after he disputed a decision. Jackson kicked 76 goals in each of his two years with the Demons, leading the goal kicking in 1981 and one goal less than Gerard Healy in 1982.  St Kilda (1983) In 1983, Jackson joined St Kilda on a three-year contract believed to have been worth $40,000 per year. He played in the first nine matches (in which the Saints lost the first eight matches in a row) and kicked 40 goals, including 10 in Round 5 against Sydney. However, controversy reared its head again when he was relegated to the reserves for "disciplinary reasons" in Round 10, and then returned for the Round 11 game against Collingwood, where he was held to one goal in a high-scoring 16-point loss. Jackson was again dropped to the reserves, and suffered a bruised chest during the Sunday game. On the Tuesday following that game, the Saints had told Jackson his services were no longer required.  It was later revealed that, among other things, he had played a dangerous prank on club legend Trevor Barker by placing a brick behind the brake pedal in his car. He had also placed a lit cigarette butt in the pocket of club chairman Lindsay Fox in the social club. Jackson spent the remainder of the year playing for the Melbourne Harlequins rugby side. However, his 41 goals were still enough to be the Saints' leading goal kicker for the 1983 season. Geelong (1984–1986) 1984 saw Jackson return to the VFL with Geelong. He led their goal kicking in 1984 with 74. In total during his time at Geelong, Jackson scored 115 goals in 31 games. Geelong started 1985 poorly with one win in the first four rounds but improved with five wins in the next six rounds to be in fifth position. But after losing to Fitzroy in Round 11 they would spend the remainder of the season hovering just outside the Top Five, eventually finishing sixth on the ladder. The Round 11 match against Hawthorn at Princess Park was overshadowed by various spiteful incidents, including Leigh Mattews king-hit on Geelong midfielder Neville Bruns behind play, leaving Bruns with a broken jaw. Although this incident was not reported at the time, video footage of the incident resulted in Matthews being charged with assault by Victoria Police and subsequently deregistered by the VFL for four matches. Jackson kicked four goals for the game to be the Cats' main scorer for the day, but was reported four times during the match: by boundary umpire Gower, boundary umpire O'Leary, goal umpire Bill Pryde and field umpire Ian Robinson for allegedly striking Gary Ayres in the final quarter; by goal umpire Pryde for allegedly striking Chris Langford on two separate occasions during the final quarter; by field umpire Robinson for allegedly striking Chris Mew in the final quarter; and by field umpire Robinson for allegedly striking Chris Langford in the final quarter. At the VFL Tribunal hearing on the Monday following the game, Jackson was suspended for a total of eight matches, stemming from outcomes of three of the charges: He pleaded guilty to the charge from four umpires of striking Ayres (two-match suspension). He pleaded not guilty to striking Mew and was severely reprimanded The third charge of striking Langford by goal umpire Pryde was upheld (two-match suspension) He pleaded guilty to the fourth charge of striking Langford (four-match suspension). After kicking six goals in the first round of 1986 and two in the second round, he retired after his omission from the Geelong senior side in the following round. He ended his VFL career with 308 goals from 82 games, leading his club's goalkicking on 3 occasions. He holds the record for the most consecutive games from debut with at least one goal, with 79 games. His first and only goalless game in his career was in his third-to-last game in Round 21, 1985 against Richmond at VFL Park. Jackson gained a controversial reputation for his on-field antics and was regularly reported: twice at Melbourne and four times at Geelong, including an eight-match suspension following a fight against Hawthorn. Later years An autobiography of Jackson's football career was published in 1986 and titled Jacko, Dumb Like a Fox, written with the assistance of Melbourne journalist Jon Anderson. Later in 1986 he played a few games for Brunswick Football Club in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) First Division, the first of which against Sandringham drew a crowd of nearly 15,000 to Gillon Oval; he was sacked from Brunswick in July after missing training. Jackson returned to South Fremantle for the 1987 WAFL season and kicked 45 goals from the opening 10 games. This included nine goals against West Perth in round three. South Fremantle won its opening three games of the season, but then went on an 18-match losing streak to win the wooden spoon – the club's first since 1972. Jackson walked out on the club after round 10, where the Bulldogs lost to West Perth by a league-record 210 points. Despite only playing half the season, he still finished as the club's leading goalkicker. Later in 1987, he went to Queensland and played a game for QAFL club Kedron; he was paid a large fee of $2,000 per game, but his presence drew a large crowd which earned more than $12,000 for the club. He had intended to play more games for Kedron, but was suspended for unbecoming conduct after dropping his shorts several times during the match. Singing career Following his retirement from football, Jackson used his fame and popularity to launch a singing career. His first single, "I'm an Individual" was a hit on the Australian singles chart. A second single, "My Brain Hurts" was not so successful. A 1991 release, "You Can Do This", also failed to make an impression. Jackson combined a rap-like delivery with lyrics based on Australian comedy and larrikinism. Acting career After his singing career ended, Jackson began appearing in advertisements, the most successful of which was his role in Energizer battery commercials during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The commercials ended with a manic Jackson yelling "Get Energizer. It'll surprise you! Oi!". These commercials were shown extensively in the United States, even though few people knew of Jackson, during a period of high American interest in things Australian in the wake of the Crocodile Dundee films. This American infatuation with Australian culture is referenced in The Simpsons episode "Bart vs. Australia" (1995), in which Jackson makes a cameo promoting Energizer. He was the brand's last human spokesman before the emergence of the Energizer Bunny.  There was also a 10 in 1 "Oi! Jacko Gym" action figure toy that could talk, do push-ups, lift weights and ride a skateboard—all battery operated, with Jackson wearing the battery company logo on his singlet. He was also linked with Nutri-Grain amongst other companies, and for a time worked as a professional actor for commercials. Jackson has appeared in various television sitcoms and movies—one of the most notable being as survival expert "Jetto" in the short-lived American action-adventure series The Highwayman (1988)—as well as being on talkback radio and in various children's programs and talk shows. During 2005 Jackson embarked on a tour with author and renowned criminal Mark "Chopper" Read.  In 2014, Jackson was featured on 7mate's Bogan Hunters as a celebrity judge. Boxing Jackson also appeared in a televised Australian celebrity boxing match in 2002 in which he went up against Australian former rugby league centre Ma. Meninga. Jackson was soundly defeated. Jackson had previously beaten Essendon tough man Ron Andrews in a points decision on 10 December 1984 in a six-round boxing match at the Perth Entertainment Centre.

May 6, 1949. On the runway at Lindbergh Field in San Diego, a scrappy upstart called Pacific Southwest Airlines, PSA, is about to take its first flight. PSA is a budget airline—the world's first. Other jet age carriers will offer luxury in the sky, but PSA does not. It's exploiting a loophole in the American flight system to do things very differently. How did PSA manage to offer flying to ordinary people at prices they could afford? And how did it force an entire industry to reimagine itself?Special thanks to our guests: Mary Boies, former fellow on the Senate Commerce Committee, White House staffer, and general counsel to the Civil Aeronautics Board; Jim Patterson, early PSA employee, and eventually its vice president of operations; and Michael Roach, former lawyer at the Civil Aeronautics Board.

Sam Edmund chats with Richmond champion Michael Roach

The Prophet Joel said God would pour out His Spirit in the last days. As a result, many of us are expecting a great end-time revival. However, history has shown that revival often comes through distress. Is it possible that dark days are about to come upon the church? Pastor Riggen and his guest, Pastor Michael Roach discuss this and other topics in today's podcast.

When a preacher's son left his home church to serve in a church in which he was not known, what he experienced in this new church was, in his words, “life-changing.” Regardless of YOUR religious background, that same experience is still available for you today. In this week's podcast, Pastor Riggen interviews Rev. Michael Roach for the second in his series entitled, “Passing the Torch.”

Takeaways from the first men's game for points this year, and former Richmond spearhead Michael Roach.

Twice a Coleman Medallist and a premiership player in 1980, Michael Roach reminisced with Garry and Tim about rattling tins to save the Tigers' skins, playing with Brian Taylor and more.

Before creating spiritual gangster Ian was a lawyer turn Yogi, where he started ran and sold at one yoga to lifetime is a close friend and one of the positive most positive people I know. Ian, welcome to the show. Ian: [1:14] Glad to be here, Max. Thanks for having me. Max: [1:16] I have so many questions for you and so many things to talk about. So I can't wait to get going on this. This could probably last for like four days. Ian: [1:22] I'm looking forward to it. All right, well, let's go. I ate before I came here. I don't know four days will work. But I didn't Max: [1:27] Robin four days. Okay. So this is episode one. So no pressure. But we did have a built on podcasts before this. And there was 39 episodes with Brian Moore. So this is my first episode a little nervous. But let's get after it. First of all, frame it. This is behind the resume is the vision of this podcast is really to Front Load the business stuff and then go deep. So we'll get there. And then for all the listeners out there, Ian has not been given the questions, so he's not prepared. With that said, Ian, if you want to pass on a question. I have lots of good questions. Feel free to just say pass and we'll pass. So here we go. And then at the very end, then I'm going to go into a rapid fire section. We'll go through questions a little bit quicker. Good. Awesome. All right. So here we go. Tell me about your nickname, The eagle. I just discovered this at a current text conversation with him. I asked if he had any nicknames. And he said the eagle and I couldn't wait to hear where did it come from? Ian: [2:19] So this is interesting. It comes back you know from we used to live in LA. And it's if we would always be wanting to deliver you something special. They say the Eagle has landed. And it really became from like, we're flying high. So we got the eagle. Max: [2:35] All right. All right. I love it. The eagle makes a lot of sense. All right, what's the most interesting thing going on in your life right now? Ian: [2:44] Well, one thing I'm really excited about spiritual gangster I've been a lifelong fan of the Grateful Dead. And in two weeks, we're launching a collaboration with spiritual gangster and the Grateful Dead. So it's an amazing way for me to share with everyone in spiritual gangster how much the Grateful Dead has been an influence on my life. And you know, we're we're bringing that ethos and vibrations and getting out to the spiritual gangster gang community. And to me, I'm super excited about that, because as a lifelong, Grateful Dead fan, and seen, you know, over 50 shows, and they've been a massive impact and how I see the world. And now I'm really excited to get to share what I love with you know, people that I love. Max: [3:26] I love that i i know i know you so well and I didn't know this was going on. We also went to a Grateful Dead show right before COVID hit was dead Ian: [3:34] Dead Company, which was amazing. And they're they're doing they're doing amazing. They're keeping on the vibrations of the grateful that you know, even one thing I was saying is God bless John Mayer, I love what he's doing. And I love how he's really, you know, made the Grateful Dead music relevant with younger generations now. So that's awesome, too. Max: [3:51] Yeah, Brian Moore be so proud of this podcast, starting out with the Grateful Dead content here. But so spirit, speaking of spiritual gangster, it's a brand I love. How did it come to be? I know it's a big question. We'll dig a little deeper in there. But how did it come to be anything about spiritual gangster? Ian: [4:07] So spiritual gangster, it's always been a movement to us. And you know what I used to teach yoga here and we had a chain of yoga studios and we would teach yoga really all over the world. But one of the things that I used to do is I used to teach yoga to hip hop rap music, and it would be anywhere from like Tupac to Biggie to Nelly back and a friend of mine after class one day she came up to me and she said, You're a gangster. You're like a spiritual gangster and we started selling t shirts that we sold in our yoga studio here. And once we ended up deciding to sell the yoga business at one yoga lifetime fitness, you know, we kept spiritual gangster because it really started as the house brand that we were selling in the yoga studio. And then you know turn from really a hobby to an expensive hobby and passion into you know, now a global movement. Max: [4:53] Oh, I love it. I love it. Where When was that? When did you first No, it was a movement Ian: [4:58] from the beginning. I mean, we you know intentionally what we realized is when we created the yoga studios, you know, we created almost I mean, like Howard Schultz, they were the third place where people would come in and be like a fitness thing, it would be a social element and also have a spiritual component. So they come and they could mix with community. And what I realized in the yoga business, it was extremely labor people dependent, and in order to scale that you just have to manage. And so what we wanted to figure out is how can we take the vibes? And really what what we learned from building the yoga community, and how do we share it with the world versus our local community here? So that was always our intention behind it. Ian: [5:38] And now, it's really, you know, snowballing. Max: [5:41] Yeah, I feel so good. When I wear my spiritual gangster stuff, man, and I've heard you talk about this, you've said this to me before, but you talk about how people represent brands. And then when you wear your spiritual gangster shirt, you are the brand. Ian: [5:54] So I feel like it's superhero clothes. Sometimes for as adults, I mean, we get more letters from people who are, you know, whether they're dealing with a cancer treatment or something, then the the shirt makes them feel better about themselves. And I wear it every day, or they're going to, you know, give us big speech, and they put on a special shirt. But I think it allows people to feel better about themselves. And you know, a friend of mine who used to have an ESPN show, and he would travel all over, and he would wear our brand. And he wore a couple other brands. And he would say, hey, he and when I'm wearing these other brands, I feel like I'm repping the brand. When I'm wearing spiritual gangster, I feel like I am the brand. And that's what I think a lot of people, you know, there's a lot of spiritual gangsters out there. And people define it in different ways for themselves, but we want it to be empowering for people. And I think that, you know, you are the brand when you're wearing it. Max: [6:40] Yeah, no, I definitely feel that way. So let's talk about Tell me about the at one yoga journey that led to spiritual gangster I just realized as I was kind of digging around preparing for this, that that was like a 13 year journey. Is that right? Ian: [6:53] Exactly. So I went to law school in California. And in my first year law school, I was, you know, law schools are very competitive stress environment. And I was looking for ways to just, you know, de stress and I was learning to surf and I wasn't good. I was just getting pounded, and I go running. And my mom said, you know, go check out a yoga class and yoga. This is about 25 years ago, but yoga was starting to boom in LA. And I went to a class and it felt amazing. And then I had a like a lot of synchronicity and serendipity happened. But one of the greatest things that happened to me is I was flying back from I went to see my mom in Florida. I was flying back from Florida to LA. And she gave me a yoga book. So I got on the airplane, and there's an Indian guy sitting next to me in a satin jacket with a tiger on the back and his wife. And I take my yoga book, I'm like, he's like, Oh, you do yoga, I am Bikram I'm like you want to see my book, I've no idea who the guy is. At the time. He goes, I have my own book 2 million copies. So I landed I went to the border bookstore, borders Bookstore at the time when they existed in Westwood bought his book and he was literally 10 minutes from so I would go to Bikram once or twice a day. And I then I ended up taking a teacher training at yoga works. And this time when I first started going to yoga, there was like 10 or 15 people. And by the end of the year, there was like 80 to 100 people in the class, it was just like at a tipping point. But it was only happening in New York and LA. So I come out to Arizona on family vacations, and I look for the yoga studio. And it was, I mean worse than like the basement of the dirtiest motel six, and it just didn't exist here. So you know, one thing led to another but I took some business classes at UCLA business school and wrote a business plan. And I had some friends who sent me money. And while studying for the LA bar, I ended up opening the yoga studio in Arizona. And then for the first like six or eight months, I would be a yoga teacher on the weekends and fly back to LA be an entertainment lawyer and then like twice a month fly out here. And you know, what I realized, you know, pretty early on is that for our business really to work, I had to quit being my being a lawyer and move out here and really run it. Max: [8:56] Yeah, how long were you an attorney for? Ian: [8:58] So I was an attorney briefly. You know, I got the job my second year, and I worked there less than four months. I knew immediately like, I just, it wasn't for me. And was really, this is a funny story to like, I came back on vacation, I went to go quit my job like four days, five days in a row. And I kept going into the office to quit, but none of the partners are there because it was over over the holidays. And they had given me like a big like bonus to start, you know, and then they gave me another holiday bonus. And I offered the bonus back. And they're like No, thank you very much. But if you want to come back, you can come back. And then after that they changed the clause that if you quit being a lawyer within a year or two you to pay back the bonus. It was funny. Max: [9:37] That's amazing. That shit only happens that Ian lopate and by the way, in fact, I'll jump in there now, because I think this is hilarious. There was one point when I first met Ian and a couple years ago that I ran into him like four times in a week. And so I hadn't really I didn't know him that well yet and I kept saying like what's crazy I keep running into you. And I will say that the better that I've got to know Ian There really is no coincidences, like, you just you open yourself up for what's going to happen and it just happened. So I mean, talk about that. I know there's this couple of things I want to touch on with that. But you kind of take that run with it. I know things just you just feel like they just happen if you set yourself up. Ian: [10:15] And I'm a big believer, like interesting coincidence gets misinterpreted. Coincidence comes from the Latin terms when two angles coincide. And that means perfect alignment. So everything's coincidence. The idea is just to be open to it. So I, you know, I'm a big believer of like, showing up open and seeing what's here for me and you know, one of the things and I, I call it creating friends and Fred's are one of my teachers, Dr. Berry taught me this, but as friends in the energy, so everywhere I go, I create friends to be like, oh, they're like, you know, this is a great story. Just a simple one. The other day, I was flying back, I went to see my sister for and took my son. And we ended up flying back. So we we got to the airport. And, you know, I got there a little bit early, and I wanted to come home for my other son's birthday. And I saw Oh, there's another flight there. And it's, it's open. So I kind of do my energy exercises, tapping on the energy. And I walk up and say, Hey, can we get on this earlier? flight? They said, Well, we have policy. We can't you check bags. We can't put you on the earlier flight. Okay, thank you. But uh, let me see what you can do. Five minutes later, the ladies like check. So the supervisors come back to me, she goes, Oh, sir, we got you on the flight. No problem. You just gotta get your own bags. I'm like, No, she's then then I sit on the airplane and they tapped me when I get on the airplane when I'm supposed to be on. They said, Oh, sir, we want to go sit up in first class. I was like, perfect. And then my bags got there. And I didn't have to pay anything. But that kind of stuff happens me all the time. Like you find someone lets you in the door. There's Fred's available everywhere if you if you create them. So I'm always looking in the moment. Okay, how's this supposed to work out for me? You know, one of, you know, my favorite trips, like we talked about is like, you know, going to the, the NCAA, I mean, the NBA Finals game, I show up to the wrong airport at like two in the afternoon after the dead shows we were at together in LA. And I get to the airport and I go to the wrong airport, I go to Burbank instead LA. So I'm like, okay, tip office in three hours. There's no commercial flights. I ended up getting a ride from another friend of mine who owns the wires on their jet, we circle the arena, I walk in the arena, I get to hang out with Tony Robbins before tip off, and then fly home on another private jet all because I went to the wrong airport and missed the flight. So I just I'm a big believer in, you know, everything always works out. You just gotta stay open to it. I think that a lot of times the best plans happen once once the first part of the plan kind of goes awry. Max: [12:34] yeah. No, that's awesome. I think you and I talked about you just feet you you can walk in as basketball Stadium, but he is very into basketball, run into it. In the front row. It's son's games. And he can walk into the stadium and end up in the front row. Even if he doesn't have tickets. Like, he's just how does that work? Ian: [12:51] It just always works. I mean, I have to, you know, have to say last year, I think I was in seven different arenas and got to sit on the floor and all the different games and just not even having a plan. You know, Phoenix, we have courtside seats, but just sort of would happen one thing would lead to another and I think to that when you share what you love, then it comes back to you 10 acts. So I mean, one thing I love is basketball is sharing and VA and it comes back to me and I think that just planting the seeds for that flow to come back to you always. You know, just it just works if you stay open to it. Max: [13:21] Yeah, yeah. Well, speaking of that, so everything kind of just happens for a reason. And things have worked out pretty well for you and, but he's also into a lot of personal development stuff. And I know this personally, because he was in we took a positive intelligence course and we're in the same pod. And I think he told me he took a happiness course at Yale. He's been the it's at least two or three Tony Robbins events that I know of. But tell me a little bit about why personal development such a priority to you and then let's talk about some of the personal development experiences that have been that you would rank the highest Ian: [13:55] i think you know, one of the things from the positive intelligence class that I learned when we did together is my one of my number one drivers. I'm curious, I love to learn and I love to grow and I also realize I'm my own graves asset. So I'm always learning I'm always reading I'm spending it's just part of who I am and allowing myself to become you know, just you know, I like to get healthier wealthier, smarter, more intelligent everyday and continue to expand we live in expanding universe. So I love to keep feeding myself. You know and i think that i've you know, Robin Sharma has been a really good friend of mine You know, I've done a lot of stuff a Tony Robbins has been incredible. You know, someone I'm working with right now who's absolutely amazing. As Dr. Barry Margolin, he does energy for success. We've done landmark stuff together. So I'm always consuming different different types of stuff and beyond just intellectual stuff. We've done Wim Hof breathing, you know, we have a couple trainers we work with all the time. So you're we're working mentally and physically all the time to to have more energy to have more vitality and also just grow and learn and I'm a big believer of like, once you get the lesson, then you can move on. So how do I get the lessons quicker? How can I learn from others? So I don't have to make mistakes the hard way. And, you know, so that's a part of, you know, my life philosophy. And it's really allowed me, you know, to continue to build who I who I am. Max: [15:19] yeah. Well, speaking of that, I have spent some time with you. And some of my favorite memories are showing up to his office, and he'd have a, you'd have a bathtub full of ice for us to do ice ball. And so let's talk about daily routines and rituals. I mean, I've done you know, some some stuff with you bio chargers, stuff like that. Let's talk about what you think works the best and in an ideal world, and then maybe talk about what you've been working on. I know you and Craig, we're working on some stuff, as far as you know, the kind of the biohacking side of things. But let's talk about first of all, your favorite daily routines and rituals. Let's talk about that first. Ian: [15:53] So, you know, things that I do daily are I do a journaling, I actually keep three journals, I keep a five minute journal, which is how I started journaling. And my mother passed away about three years ago. And I've journaled every single day since she passed away. And the other two journals I keep, and this comes from the Dr. Barry Morgan's course, energy for success. I keep one journal, which has all my goals for the day. And then I keep the whole idea is that I'm building a platform to live my life on and this platform is not only am I building, I'm building it, so I can take it with me. So I write goals and all these different areas and relationships and expanding finances and creativity and intelligence, and health and vitality and serendipity. And so this, this platform continued, I feel it every day. And then there's a whole second journal that keeper only my wins. So when something great happens, coincidence, serendipity things drop into my lap, I keep journaling and writing those. So I'm, I'm keep investing energy. And it's like momentum, life works and momentum. So those are my momentum practices. I do breathing exercises every day. So a meditation slash breathing exercise, you know, we have a cold plunge in our house, I'm a huge, I did a cold punch before I came over here today. And then I I work out, you know, I have a trainer, I have multiple trainers who come to the house. And, you know, someone told me this is funny, because we're kind of recording this at the end of COVID. But these people said, you're going to come out at COVID three ways, a hunk a drunk or a chuck. So I think it's you know, you right now, you know, a lot of what I've always been working from home, you know, I've always been working from zoom, I've kind of like created this thing. And now a lot of things are the world's moving in that direction, where you can be casual, where you can get a lot of stuff done, you know, without having to have an office and go to a lot of people. And I think that, you know, what I'm finding is that I've been doubling and tripling down on all these practices over the last like three months. So instead of a trainer twice a week, I've had three different trainers twice a day. So really stepping up these practices. And you know, what I find personally is my coincidence, increases my synchronicities, my vitality, my energy, and also like my abundance and prosperity. I think everything's related. And I think that, you know, you have to raise the entire platform. Because if you're wealthy and even though healthy, have nothing if you're healthy, and you've no access to abundance, it's a much different life. And I think that you have to have relationships and creativity and all this stuff, his life is set up for us to succeed. And I think the whole key is fueling yourself to have enough energy and vitality and be open enough to take advantage of that and enjoy it. Max: [18:30] Yeah, yeah. And I've heard you talk about how life is happening for you, not to you. So think about in thinking of how COVID How has COVID happened for you, and not to you? Ian: [18:42] You know, I more blessings. I mean, our business has never been better, you know, we have a business that is gone now, even more and more direct to consumer online. So that's fantastic, we'd have a better relationship with our customers. You know, I've had more I used to have to travel a lot our office or in LA. Now I have way more quality time. You know, we both both have four kids, two younger boys. So I got to spend way more time with my kids and I ever had not been traveling and just also to building fitness and routines and getting the trainer's to come over and really working on a real platform and a home base. These have been all massive blessings, my relationship with Vanessa, like so many things have really blossomed and even like working on our house because we're all traveling. We never really did all this stuff. So for me, it's been building a great platform to really thrive off of and also getting in better shape physically and mentally. I think now more than ever, people are afraid. And that's what I think this thing is brought up and people it's brought up fear, money and health, which are like the two most root basic. And I think it's more important now than ever to take care of your own mental state and your physical state. Max: [19:55] Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So I was lucky to I got to Idaho, and We are a 200 yards from the fitness center for the first two months of it. So Ian: [20:03] when I mean I would love you to show me pictures of your, your red light deal. And I mean, it's, it's all these things and you realize when you're doing these things to take care of yourself, you feel so much better you have more time for your kids, you have more energy to do the things you love. And I just think that the number one biggest thing that people should be investing in is themselves and their own health and wellness. Max: [20:23] Yeah, I agree. I was doing great. At the beginning of the summer, I was in really good, really good shape all of June. And I was eating a lower sugar diet. And I was up in Idaho. And this bartender that I had been to a few times I was drinking a little bit more often than I normally do because we're at the lake. And I told him, Hey, can I just do the vodka soda, the North 44 and soda, because I'm not really eating a lot of carbs. And he said to me, this is my kind of downturn where I started to gain the COVID-19. Now I'm starting to take it off again. But he said to me, he said, You know how much sugar is in that vodka? I'm like, Oh, shit. So So from that point, I, you know, kind of threw the diet out the window for a little bit. But I'm coming back. I'm coming back. So speaking of like, extreme body hacking treatments, I've done some pretty extreme stuff. I mean, I don't know, I used to plunges that extreme. But when you're jumping in a little ice bath with ice on it, that's, you know, pretty extreme. What would have been the most extreme, you know, kind of treatments or things that you've done? How would you rank it? Ian: [21:25] So I think, you know, it all depends. I think the Wim Hof stuff can be very extreme. Because it's all mentally it's very way more mentally than it is physically challenged. And the idea to be able to get yourself to go in the ice bath and not freak out and regulate your breath. And also the breathing exercise. I've been really into breathing practices lately. There's a great book by Daniel Nestor called breathe, and I just finished another book called The oxygen advantage. I think that breathing is like the new meditation, you know, people are really becoming aware which in meditation was a new yoga, people are really becoming aware of how important conscious breathing is and to breathe through your nose. So there's a lot of different breathing exercises that I've been doing that can be extremely intense, long breath holds like four or five minute breath holds. So that and I think it's overwhelming more mentally than physically. Those are the things that I'm kind of playing with now that I seem that I feel, you know, I mean, we do a lot of fun stuff that people heliski we do a ton of heliskiing and things that I don't necessarily look at as being extreme. But it's, it's one of the happiest places on the planet for me out in the middle of nature skiing powder with no one around. And it's so that that I think that's a spiritual practice for me as much as anything. Max: [22:43] In it, Ian will just disappear and he'll all sudden be surfing or heliskiing. Somewhere, it's just part of part of being Ian. So what is a model you live your life, I'm gonna change gears a little bit here. But what is the model you live your life by? Ian: [22:55] Share what you love. Max: [22:57] love it. Tell me about an experience that changed your life. You can pass Ian: [23:01] almost, I almost failed out a law school. And then I studied and applied myself. Really, really, really. And I finished the top of my class like top five people in my class. And that really led me let me realize that I could do it my way versus having to do it the way everyone else was doing it. Max: [23:19] And that was you graduate from UCLA. Right. Ian: [23:21] I graduated from UCLA. So Max: [23:22] it wasn't an easy school. Ian: [23:24] And it was just it was a great experience of of trusting that I can get it done doing it the way that I wanted to do it versus kind of falling in the matrix or getting getting stuck where everyone else was going. Max: [23:35] Yeah, going back to the foundation, because I think this is important. And I don't know if I've ever asked you about this. So I might as well learn some stuff and share it with everybody else that's listening. How did you first get into yoga to because I think that was kind of one of the foundational things if you talk about, you know, just the the positive nature and just you know, how you carry yourself, what was the building block, like when you're younger. Ian: [23:56] So, you know, it's interesting, my mom was very spiritual. My dad was a lawyer, but my mom was very spiritual. And she had some health problems that, you know, open her up to a bunch of alternative healers. But one of the things we used to have, she would have this guy come from Swami satchidananda, his ashram, this guy, Bob Burns, and he would teach yoga, and I used to think it was like crazy, but we do like shoulder stands and headstands. And I got away from it. And then my first year of law school, I was, you know, I was going through an ending of my college relationship with my old girlfriend and just feeling stressed with law school. My mom's like, you should go to yoga, and I went into yoga, and it felt amazing. And I do think that yoga, you know, it's not like a magic bullet for things. But for me, what it's done is it's opened me up to this whole world of, I don't want to call it self help but self discovery, and going deeper and learning how to work with my own body and getting into it. And it really, you know, changed my path like I was extremely not flexible. I mean, I think I was not flexible mentally as well as physically and it's really really opened me up. And it's also allowed me to experience so many different things that came from that. Max: [25:06] Gotcha. Ian, by the way, is one of the only guys that will walk up to me and fix my posture from behind him grab my shoulders and open me up. But I will say, I, since you've done that the first time, and he didn't just do a once every time you'd see me walk up, and it was like my mom, you know, grabbed me and put me in the right position. But so he grabbed me and opened me but I, since then, I always do this and that he you can't see it, because you're listening. But he's got his arms open. And he's, you know, stretching out, but he's opening himself up to talk about posture and like, Why so that's so important. Ian: [25:36] You know, I think they all these different things about body language, but what you're saying is only a portion of how you're communicating. And there's a great thing we should share with your audience. There's a Stanford professor called Amy Cuddy, who did a TED talk on posture. And it just, it's amazing. Just how physical posture affects everything not only affects your mood, but it affects how people perceive you. And, you know, I'm a big believer of like we talked about earlier, if you're gonna make the most of your environment, you have to be open to it. That's why I like heliski. And that's why I'm getting the fly fishing, you have to be tuned into your environment, like even golfing what's happening in the, in the elements around you. And when you're closed off physically, you're not tuned into your environment. So I think that how you carry yourself, you know, we have all these sensors, we're more than five senses, we have hundreds of different sensors in the body. It's like when you learn to ride a bike, no one teaches you ride a bike, all of a sudden, you get it right, you turn on the sensor of balance, someone's sensor balance is so good, they can walk across a tightrope in the middle of the Grand Canyon. And once you learn how to ride a bike, you never forget it. So life is like that. How do I get these sensors open, that are closed. And then I have all these different experiences their sensors around money, there's sensors around intelligence, there's sensors around everything, but getting your body open is is massively important. And most people close as they get older, when we you know, we're for me, I'm that's why I'm learning. I'm growing. I'm doing all this self discovery. So I every day, I want to be more open than I was yesterday. more flexible. Max: [27:02] I love it. I love that to my goal, too. So tell me on that note, and this is kind of in the same vein, what do you attribute your success to? And we're talking about I mean, all of this does, but if I asked you that question, like how would you answer it? Like what, how do you what do you attribute your success to? Ian: [27:19] I you know, it goes back to me of the notion of planting seeds. So I think there's a, I grow things in my life where other people are like hunters or gatherers. So like I have, there's a one of my greatest teachers, a guy's greatest geisha, Michael Roach, and he wrote the book, the diamond cutter, and he's the only white guy who's like a master of Isa. He's a geisha like, which is like, I'm a cardinal of like Buddhism. And he has a four step process to get what you want. One is like, figure out what you want. Step one, pretty, that's not even most people can't even get to that. Step two is find someone else who wants what you want. Step three is go help the other person get it. So that's counterintuitive. Most people you know, it's like in order to get it, you got to give a fourth and the fourth step, which is like the real magic how you fertilize it is like when you're at home and you feel really good about helping the other person get it. So I'm a big believer of success comes from planting seeds and being generous. You know, one of the things we talked about, we didn't talk about this, but since we started spiritual gangster, you know, we've done I think over 13 million meals now with Feeding America plus we do a bunch of other stuff with but we found what I call karmic business partners. So when it's not just the company, spiritual gangsters winning, every time we sell an item online, we donate a meal. So the customer gets the karma donating the meal, and someone gets fed. And so it's it's important that you know, I call it 360 degree winning or even things that happen spiritually, when someone walks in the office. It's not just the owners who when the employees when the customers win, but the FedEx or UPS guy wins the everyone feels good and feels the energy. And that's how I think it's important to build things. And I think that's why it's successful. Because we're having a real positive impact, and it's intentional. Max: [29:06] That's what I love, too. If you go to their website, they don't brag about this. They do it for the karmic reasons. Ian: [29:11] For years, we didn't even share about it. And now I feel a lot like way better about sharing about it. One thing you know, you know, one of the greatest things that we talk about, you know, you do things and all these wonderful things come from it, like you know, we had a great thing. And one day we were on Good Morning America, Savannah Guthrie, whose initials are SG love spiritual gangster, she got to pick one brand in the entire country. And she made her shirt called like you with my wife. And in five minutes, we sold enough to sell to give 3 million meals. And we got Tony Robbins to match it. And that's how I ended up getting connected. Tony Robbins who ended up inviting me to date with destiny. Of course that's how it happened. So it's just like these things snowball in a way better than you could ever expect it. Max: [29:56] yeah. No, I love the given back piece of spiritual gangster, it's one of the reasons I love the brand. It Tell me about the challenges and finding one's purpose or challenges you've had and kind of finding your purpose. I mean, it sounds like you're a spiritual gangster, you know, I kind of know you and met you just a couple years ago. So you're pretty far down the journey, but in finding your purpose in life, and maybe maybe you're still in the search purposes, a journey for sure. But tell me about the challenges and finding your own purpose and, you know, kind of share the challenges other people have that you see and finding their purpose. Ian: [30:32] I think clarity is powerful. So, you know, one of the things the practices that Tony Robbins I got from David s&c is you get really clear of like, you know, what are your drivers? What do you value the most, and we even, you know, did a little bit of that in positive intelligence, but what's important to you and then every year I keep a board of these are my four goals for the year. And then when you get them you want to always be setting new goals. I think a lot of people some people are super successful, they reach their goals, and they don't set new ones and they kind of plateau. So you always want to be you know, right as you get close to hitting a goal, you want to set another one. And I think that it's you know, one getting clear what you're going for because clarity is power. If you don't know what you're aiming at, you don't know when you're gonna hit the target or not. So I'm a big believer of like writing things down even the journaling, like I write daily goals and things I wanted to have a great podcast with you and be able to share the energy with people so it's very you know, important for me you know, specificity like being clear like you the way you can work with the universe's you'd be clear, you know, and I think one of my one of the greatest examples, and this gets back to it is not only people like you know, we like to golf like you want to focus the fairway, not the water. But Ghostbusters, one of my favorite movies is the greatest example of like, how most people work with the universe. Most people figure out their I don't want this, I don't want this. I don't want this their biggest fear the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. And guess what peers the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man bigger than ever. So most people are focusing on all the time of what they don't want or talking about what they don't want. It's important to be positive and speak about what you want in a way that you're having it versus the universe doesn't understand. No. So it's just you're always manifesting your your fears and nightmares. And I think most people are stuck on that channel. Max: [32:18] It's a frequency. Yeah, yeah, we were in our positive intelligence course together on our pod. So we'd have these conversations. And every morning I get up to work out I'd see a deer. And so we're trying to figure out what that is. And to Ian's point, he said, my dad died three years ago, and he loved coralayne rows that he said, Every time I saw a deer, it was probably my dad, which I don't know if I think I probably mentioned this before, but since that time, I probably saw 10 deer a day there. So it was well, there's Ian: [32:44] another great book for your readers called signs. And there was she was just on the goop deal. And, and I read that book, and I shared it with you. And you know, both my parents have passed away. And I think you know, it's just with my son and you know, deers, hummingbirds, dragonflies, birds, if you're aware of their environment, they're your people, they're always communicating to you. And then once you become aware of and see it, they'll do it even more. And it's, it's amazing. It's just, there's so much out there that's available to us, if you open up our sensors, you know, it's like, the thing is, most people are missing it. That's what we talk, you know, it's like, why is it so hard for so many because they're missing it, they're closed, they're not even, they're not even where they are Max: [33:25] They're stuck in the matrix, Ian: [33:26] they're fully in the matrix. I mean, one of my favorite movies is the matrix, you want the red pill or the blue pill, you know, it's like, what reality is going to be and and I think, you know, even now the vibe of the matrix is so thick with fear, you know, like, we talked about fear around money fear around health. And what it does is it close closes people down. And it's a frequency of, of lack versus abundance. And then the other side of the coin is, you know, you're in the energy and you have coincidence, and you have serendipity in your, you're in tune with the animals and wonderful things drop in your lap. And it's even better than than could be expected. Yeah, but there's, there's two frequencies. And whichever one you invest in, the thing of this is really important. That's what we talked about building a platform, is the matrix is always going to want to crush you or bring you down. So that's why it's so important to do these practices and build your energy up. So you're at a different frequency, and that you're coming out with vitality versus coming out of it. In a broken state of lack. Max: [34:25] Yeah, yeah, he had such a good example of what he's talking about, too. So if those of you that don't know, um, I can attest to. He just lives by the stuff we're talking about. So coming back to fill in the blank, leaders would be better if they did, blank... Ian: [34:41] listened Max: [34:43] They listen. If you could sit down with one person and ask them something, who would it be and what would you ask Ian: [34:48] Tony Robbins? And I would just how do I continue to dial it up? You know, what are my three greatest things that I could tune into right now? Max: [34:58] Yeah. You went to been to two? Ian: [35:01] I've now probably been to maybe five to eight live events, I've got a two day with Destiny's and I'll redo that again, I find it's like one of the, it was one of the greatest, it happened right after my mom passed away but I went there and I was able to really author my life versus there was so much default programming in there that I was unaware of. And it was just a massive wake up call for me. And I had, you know, there have been different people and things that have shined the light on it. But all of a sudden, at that moment, like all the lights in the room got turned on, it was a it was a huge, huge beginning of, you know, a massive breakthrough that's continuing to this day. Yeah. Max: [35:45] So this is why I love asking you this question. Because it may be difficult because you have this abundance mindset. But if you knew x 10 years ago, you would have done what? Ian: [35:58] So if I knew half of what I knew now, I mean, you know, one of the biggest things that I've learned is, is really being aware with people and learning how to, to size up people better. You know, I think there's different types of people, there's people who are win win win, people like you and I are always looking to help others and contribute. And, you know, and then there's, you know, other types of people, there's some people who are win lose are always out to kind of take a little piece from you. And you know, and then there's people who are massively win losing their job, they're gonna carve you up and take as much as they can. And then there's another type of people, which is a complete narcissist, who pretend their win win win, and they got your back and they got your interest, and they're just out there to like, completely crush you. And if I had could realize that everyone's a type one, and how to how to really categorize the type one from the narcissist, and learning how to win with all these different types of people. Like, you know, that's what I've done over the last, you know, I'm a total win winner, and I'm always looking at how to have other people win. And I had a huge education and realizing that not everyone's set up that way and you also to the more the bigger light you are the narcissists are there to kind of take you out. So getting into reality and not saying everyone's the greatest guy in the world, because there's a lot of people out there that are narcissists who are out there looking to, to, to win at your expense, where I'm out there looking to win with you and everyone else involved. Max: [37:22] I love it. I love it. I think, coming into the business world, I played a lot of sports, and I was very competitive. And it took me a long time to figure out how being competitive was to my advantage in the real world of the business world. And I think if you're overly competitive, you focus on just being a little bit better than your competitors, which if that's what you're focused on, what I've learned over the years, is you missed a huge opportunity to just crush everybody not in a bad way, but crushed like the game and and change the game. So I love that. So what is the one thing you wish? People would stop saying? Ian: [37:57] I'm trying? I'm like, can't try either do it or don't? Like, it cannot? You know, that's annoying when people I'm trying? I'm trying like, Max: [38:06] either doing or you're not? Yeah, yeah, do try. And by the way, his son's name is Jedi. So he's the only guy I know who named his son Jedi. So you do not try you? Do you do it or you don't do it? Yeah. If you had only one sentence, describe yourself what would you say? Ian: [38:22] enthusiastic, positive. generous Max: [38:26] Yeah, me too. Me too. What are you curious about now? I mean, obviously, you're very curious person. That's almost all we've talked about. But like, what are you most curious about today? Ian: [38:36] right now I'm very curious about breathing. And you know why there's such a disconnect in our society of people don't know how to breathe. And I think a lot of the health issues, anxiety, over obesity are all due to people breathing through their mouth. So I'm very curious about breathing correctly, and finding ways to share that with other people. I mean, I've even been this sleeping now taping my mouth when I sleep. Max: [39:05] It's amazing. And we do we meditate at least once a week at my for my office, and we usually do it by zoom. Can we have you do blood? breathing? 100%? All right. All right, we've got them. We've got them committed. So why Sal's going to have them do our meditation this upcoming week. So what do you find most challenging? Ian: [39:25] So the thing that I find it's keeping the energy and using the energy with my kids, and staying in a positive state and always, you know, one of the things that I really, you when you're in a positive state, when you're energy rich, when you're things work better. And what I find is sometimes with my kids, that's where I'll get, I'll respond or react from an A low energy state and it's never the great way. So what I'm really working on is only responding especially with my family, my wife, then as we work together and my kids when I'm in a good energy state. And that's, it's it's more challenging than the sounds I've gotten. They're pretty good around business stuff, but around family and even little kids of, of not reacting from a from a low energy place. Max: [40:13] Yeah. What's it like, being in a successful partnership with your business partnership with your wife? And I, you know, I've been by your house recently. But what is there is there challenges in that? Ian: [40:23] Oh, there's tons of challenges. And I think it's like any relationship, it just brings, you know, different, this whole other dynamics, you know, we work together, we live together. Now, we don't have an office over, you know, we're trading and we're in different parts of the business, and she's incredible. She's super creative, and passionate, and, you know, but we've learned, you know, over the years, how to communicate with each other how to share and give feedback. And I think, you know, like, we really making massive evolutions, and we're growing and learning together, I think, you know, any relationship and it's all about growing and learning together and having each other's backs and, and just, you know, it's the same thing as raising. It's like, the, the kids are our main business and then spiritual gangsters, but we're, we're partners in life, and then all of them, you know, she's granted a lot of stuff that I'm no good at, and I'm good at other stuff that you know, so I think it's figuring out like, where to play with your strengths, and even most importantly, how to communicate. Max: [41:20] Yeah, no, that's awesome. That's awesome. All right. Well, this is uh, this has been episode one. I think he's setting the bar high for for our last guest. What a great guest have episode one. I think I planned this out perfectly. If you if you have a bad interview or conversation with Ian, it's probably not you is what I have come to the conclusion. But I'm going to start wrapping up just a little bit. We're gonna go I'm trying to create like segments. This is the first time I've ever done a podcast before so we're just kind of feeling this out. But I want to break into some segments and I always want to end like on a rapid fire question like segment so I'm gonna just kind of throw some questions at you. quick answer, actually answer as long as you want whatever you feel like needs to complete the answer, but they are in a rapid approach. So what's the first thing you do when you wake up? Ian: [42:04] I do my energy exercises. Like, like, I one of the things I learned from Dr. V, one of my meditations before I go to bed, do him like do a mantra to myself and do in the mirror. Max: [42:14] But what book Have you read more than once? Ian: [42:16] the game of life and how to play it Florence Griffith Shin, Max: [42:19] I still have not read it. You've told me about that more than once now. So what person had the greatest impact on your life? Ian: [42:26] Yeah, I would say Tony Robbins, massively impactful. There's been a lot of people who have impacted me in powerful ways. But recently, Tony Robbins. Dr. Barry Moreland very good. Sadhguru geisha Michael Roche, I've been very lucky to have like, awesome influences. Max: [42:44] Love it. What is something on your bucket list that you're waiting to check off? Ian: [42:47] Play Augusta. Max: [42:49] We have to we have to do it together. If you do that. If you could teach one subject to school children, what would it be? Ian: [42:58] mindset, the value of positive mindset and posture. Max: [43:03] Are you a morning or night person? Ian: [43:05] Both. Max: [43:06] Yeah, you know what? To think about that question. I couldn't. Ian: [43:08] I mean, I feel like I'm on like, as long as your eyes are open, yeah, I'm on that I like morning and night. And Max: [43:14] if they're not on the way Oh, and you're feeling pretty good. Probably. What's the most spontaneous thing you've ever done lately? Ian: [43:20] lately? That's a good one. I mean, I feel like a lot of spontaneity. This is a little bit not super recently, but you know, within last year, and so I was in LA I was out there. And uh, one of my best friends has his own private heliski place I'm in it's in Canada, and I don't have a passport. And I'm there for a bunch of meetings. I'm interviewing like a couple people and he calls me it's like, 99. He's like, We're going skiing tomorrow. What do you mean, I got a bunch of meetings. He's like, we're going to ski tomorrow. So I'm like, Okay, I'm like, I don't have a passport. He's like, don't worry about it. So I end up moving a bunch of my meetings doing one morning, get on an airplane. And then I have to come I'm like, I got to come back the next night because in Phoenix my this is my son's favorite player was Russell Westbrook. I promised I take him to the game. So I go we go up we heliski all day. And then I get into Canada using the energy with no passport. So getting the energy, use the pack, go to Canada, no passport, all that even asked and then now I have to fly home. So he's going somewhere else. And I have to get back to take my son to the game. So I end up getting back and having my assistant Meet me at the airport with my passport. So I get this heliski all day and then pick up my son and get to take them to see see the songs play Westbrook and he gets to hang with Westbrook and we get there in time for the warm ups and was was amazing. So and that just fell out of the blue like that was, you know, an amazing day Max: [44:49] Yeah, that's amazing. That's amazing. Ian: [44:51] But I think the biggest one for me was learning how to get in another country without a passport. Max: [44:56] That Canadian one or two. That's not exactly right. All right, well, I'm gonna have to bring this to a close. Luckily, I get to continue to talk to Ian today and moving forward.

So welcome. Gil Petersil Hello, hello. Happy to be here. James. Thank you for inviting me. James Taylor So here are the attendees what's going on in your world? What have you been up to recently? Gil Petersil Well, you know, it's been a really big beginning of the year because last During the summer I was blessed with a beautiful baby daughter. And which really transformed a lot of my life. A lot of people said, Oh, you know, your life is gonna change and some people said Your life is not gonna change. But that that step in our life to becoming parents really helped me understand a lot more than I need to become a much better business owner and have a lot less operational activities. And as a speaker, I decided that I want to have a lot more freedom, and I wanted to be able to travel more but travel with my family. And because of our businesses that have been flourishing in England and in Russia for the last few years, we decided to come to Singapore and lived here for a little while with the weather is better and much better environment for kids and babies. And it's been an incredible beginning of the year so far being completely welcomed by the Singapore community, joining the professionals association of Singapore as well and just you know, giving back to the community James Taylor is amazing in Singapore. I it was only the start this year that I was over there. apss Asia professional speaker Singapore and we met up with Fredrik hire, and Andrew, Brian, some incredible speakers, many of them are on the summit here as well. And the thing that struck me about the association there is how collaborative it is. Not to see that the other ones aren't collaborative, but it's just really strongly of people are there helping each other, you know, giving, you know, suggestions of things. It's just it's a, it's a, it's very unique, I would say in terms of the speaking world. Gil Petersil I completely agree. And I think it's because that Singapore is very much a melting pot of people that have come in from different parts of the world. And they ended up in this tiny little country that surrounded by big giants around it. And this tiny little country they used to be just the city has flourished so much, and these speakers that have been coming in from all over the world, they've learned that the best way to succeed and flourish and grow their own business to achieve really, you know, financial freedom, prosperity is the to collaborate is to refer each other to the clients is to support each other by sharing experience, because at the end of the day, if you have an abundance mindset, so much more work comes towards you. And I've learned this as a business owner, the more we've given out, the more we've shared with our competitors, we've managed to not be able to even, you know, take in all the business that's come in, which is really how we became the number one promoter for Tony Robbins this year just, we just gave out a lot of his books, and we gave out a lot of support to people who couldn't afford it. And this year, we brought 1200 PEOPLE TO HIS EVENT without really putting that much effort into it. James Taylor 1200 people and these were Russians from all over the all over the globe that came to London. Gil Petersil These were Russian speaking people from 27 different countries around the world that came into this event with us somehow magnetically attracting all of them. And James Taylor because of that, obviously, you're the number one promoter for for Tony Roma's Because of that as well, but you know, so you have that part of your business and but you also now have the speaking side have mentioned you've spoken on stages you've done a lot of kind of global speaking you're speaking here there and everywhere just now I'm interested in this point in your in your life, because we are we're kind of similar ages young family, you know, what, what was the thing about speaking at this point in your life? And really, because you'd be obviously speaking before that, but you've obviously decided to Okay, take take things up a level. Gil Petersil Yeah. So it was really about three and a half years ago when I when I needed to make some big life decisions because our business was just like starting to make some money. And, you know, my wife and I were real like, hands on entrepreneurs in the office every single day struggling with recruiting struggling with what do we do and I've always had this passion for motivating others. I've always had this need for mentoring and coaching and it's something I've always dabbled into. But three and a half years ago, we went to a training seminar again by the famous Miss Tony. And it was a business one specifically where we learned a lot about the key tools that we have to use it to become business owners. And the reason I chose to do that, because I realized that speaking is what woke me up in the morning, speaking is what got me up would energize getting in front of the audience, not having to think about money, I didn't need to charge everyone just sharing my own life experience sharing my successful failures. I've failed a lot in business and I love being able to share with people that and I realized that the ability that I have in this passion that I have had to step up, but in order to do that, I had to bring in my business skills up as well. So first, I'm an entrepreneur and then I'm a speaker so for me speaking is not about I need to speak to make money for me speaking is my businesses are making money. And if I speak, I could generate more leads my business. When I speak, I get energized I can give that to my clients know my employees. When I speak, I can just share the message with people that are somehow potentially going to trickle down to one of my companies, you know, speaking for me, became very natural at a later stage of my life. Because at an early stage, I was very much of an introvert, not being comfortable with people not knowing how to network or connect with others. But speaking became very much and kind of second nature to me, because I traveled so much in my life. And I've lived in so many countries, and I've been through the struggles of not knowing how to talk to people or having to get up and do a presentation in front of my team. And I've done it so many times that, you know, everyone says, practice makes perfect, that really, really does. And I got to a point today where I can come to a new country like Singapore, use my networking abilities to connect with the right people, the right leaders, and very quickly get on the right stages, to build the right relationships to build a brand for myself in a completely new country. James Taylor So that that ability To network is something that you're known for I've seen it in person, you train about it, you speak about it, you teach about it as well. You've obviously been in lots of rooms lots of conferences, events, where there's been other speakers there was some of the maybe the things that you see them not doing that you think just you know, a couple of just add these couple of things, these couple of ingredients to your to your recipe for for meeting people for networking, and you're gonna see, you know, real exponential results, maybe just give us maybe one or two here, just Sure, Gil Petersil sure. So for me as speaker is a freelancer, he's an entrepreneur, as Speaker for me is someone who is selling his time, his selling his knowledge, his experience, which is just like a consultant or a coach. Now, there are some speakers that can get up in front of keynote and do an amazing job in front of 10,000 people in the corporation just pays them a big chunk of money and they could do it twice a month and they're very happy. But the average speaker in the world must be a proper entrepreneur. They must hustle. They know Get the leads, they must build a CRM system, they must follow up with the leads, and they must get clients regularly in order to have a good life in order to become famous in order to achieve any of their goals. What I see happens with a lot of speakers, they lose that entrepreneurship spirit, they, they maybe feel some time, maybe it's an ego boost. Maybe it's a, you know, they've had a couple of really big clients and they paid them a lot of money. So now they expect all clients to pay them a lot of money. Or maybe they had a couple of amazing months, where clients were coming in from everywhere and the like, whoa, whoa, this is great. And suddenly, they stopped calling leads, and they stopped following up with people and they got a good business card from someone but they said, You know what? He should follow up with me. Why should I follow up with him? I'm the speaker, he should follow up with me. If he wants me he should pay me money. And suddenly, it became I'm not an entrepreneur. I'm a celebrity that's always in demand. Which is not true. Even celebrity Have either an entrepreneurial spirit or they have an agent working for them, you know, and you have kind of you get to play either one or both sides of the coin and all times. You know, for myself personally, when I started off my speaking career in Russia, I understood very quickly that in order to become a speaker, you've got to hustle. You got to put yourself out there. But culturally in Russia, if you push yourself as a speaker, for example, your rate cannot be that high, because psychologically means maybe you're not in enough demand. Maybe you need business. What I did, I said, I set up a speaker's bureau, I set up my own company, my own agency that basically was able to sell me and sell other speakers at the same time, which was awesome, because when they sold me, I made money. And when they sold someone else, I still made money. So it was a win, win win all around. So I think as speakers you pick Got the business card, you hustle and connect with people, you see people all around you build relationships with them, don't try to sell yourself, try to understand what the opportunity is what kind of, you know, weak points they might have in the company where you are maybe one of the other speakers, you know, could fulfill that pain. Currently the company has. So I think isn't a speaker, be an entrepreneur, and don't think as one but think as many because you have a community of other speakers around you. James Taylor But that was such a smart move, setting up that speaking speaker bureau as well. Because as you were kind of going there building, building that business, obviously there was people coming in for you looking to book you as a speaker. But you know, so many times people come in, and frankly, you're not right for them, you know, it's not the right match. And, you know, what most speakers will do is they'll say, Oh, you know, speak to sue or Joe and I think they would be a good match for you. So it's an informal relationship in that way. But what you are able to do by setting up a bureau is you can form Realize that at the same time, you provide a great service for the the event planner, the organizer, you also provide a great service for, for the speakers as well, because, you know, many of them, you mentioned that those two roles there, you know, the, the speaker and in the person that the manager, I personally found, where my background being in the music industry, the most successful music artists, I've found. The they actually have that entrepreneurial thing within them. Yeah, yeah. And that's kind of got them to that first step. And then once they've been at that step where they've been brought in a manager or an agent, then they can handle a lot of those rains. But that never leaves them. They've got that in their mind, they're always thinking that and is important, because then they can have those conversations with other managers, the other people in the business with a bit more of a turned on. So I think there's a danger sometimes if we think even as speakers that, Oh, well, I'll just leave that. You know, I'll just kind of mentally park that to someone else. When actually this is kind of this is part of what your job is. Yeah. You're doing So, so who were those who those in those early days for you, as you were kind of starting to build up your career as a speaker in Russia, and also during kind of globally? Who were those key mentors for you apart from obviously, Tony, Gil Petersil you know, so it's interesting because when I was starting off what I didn't want to do, I looked at people like Tony and Brian Tracy and Blair singer, I look at all these guys that have been following for a while Les Brown. I've listened to him so many mornings, you know, and what I didn't want to do. I didn't want to climb the slow way. I didn't want to slowly slowly slowly climbed like most other speakers do. I didn't want to be a struggling speaker because again, I had my entrepreneurial mind hat on, and I had the hat of, Okay, if I'm already building an agency, what I'm actually doing is I'm building a persona I'm creating, I'm creating a perception in customer's eyes that they don't call me they call My agency you know, they call a team that represents me. So very quickly I was able to go into the tear beat of speakers and and charge a lot more than most of the other speakers around me that have been talking for 1015 years. Very quickly. I jumped at that level one. I was a foreigner I was a businessman. Many maybe I had a competitive edge as well, but I started looking at speakers who were business people so you know someone like Brian Tracy I've been a huge fan of his for so many years but what I've learned with some of them that you know, I'm not losing respect to any of them of course, but when they don't speak they don't really make that much money. Yeah, and what I started looking at for as mentors I start looking for mentors who are making money when they don't speak and I looked started looking at people who are you know, first business people and then speakers and I've noticed that you know, you you you brought in a few people that I've recommended Ted McGrath you know, a good friend, right? also brought into the the summit. I think that's very, very smart. And then waldschmidt, you know, someone again, I highly, highly recommend people to check out. Both of these guys, I see them as business people, especially Dan, who's built a very successful consulting businesses and a lifestyle business as well. And then suddenly decided to be a speaker. And he went directly to that to a of a speaker. So for me, my mentor is continuously changed. But to be honest, my mentors have always been business people. And then mentors have been people who I just looked up to as speakers. It's more about, you know, what can I learn from them to do but it's more about what can I learn from not to do? You know, I don't want to mention the names of speakers where there's a lot of speakers in the world that have made ridiculous amounts of money. And today, they're completely broke the speakers in the world that had been preaching one thing for their whole life, and suddenly today, they're talking about something completely difference. So, there's a lot of, you know, unauthentic sort of communication out there. So I, for me, I almost took, what not to do, where were the bumps on the roads are how it shouldn't be me on stage making money. It should be me offstage sleeping, making money. So I had to think about how to reverse engineer the whole thing, James Taylor that idea of kind of velocity as well as something that people use Sergei Brin, obviously from Google talks about where to okay rather have a five five year plan, how can you do it in six months? You know, and it makes you think in a very different way, because it's not the conventional way of doing things you know, there's there's set ways of doing things you go and do this then you do this and then that and I'm like you I'm always thinking well, you know, why should we go the conventional way all the time. Let's let's have some fun. There's not I mean, there are there are rules, but rules are there to be broken and and to have you know, have fun a bit and to be flexible with as well. And I definitely saw What you said about this idea of building productizing and building other revenue streams yourself is very important when I can go into the speaking so because I saw it happen so much in the music industry where many I worked with some of them many can be successful rock bands or touring artists, they could only make money when they were on the road when they were up there on in speaking or performing in front of audiences. And when that was going, it was great. But if something happened, maybe an album and the speaker's kit book didn't work quite as well, or they just kind of fell out of favor or they got sick. For example, it was over you know, it was a real problem and so I was I kept buying into all the arts I represent we need to have multiple streams of income, we need to have subscription, you know, recurring renewal subscription, we need to have other events, our own stages, our own events. So when I came to speaking, just like you, I went, Okay, the speaking is the tip of the iceberg is a bit that often people see but with this is intact. There's all these other things going on. Dan is obviously great for that in the consulting Ted, he has his events as well. Who are some the other people, the other speakers that you're seeing around just now that you're going? They've got it. And maybe speakers are coming onto the scene relatively recently as well. Gil Petersil So, you know, these days because I have made this transition to Singapore, I'm following a lot of the local guys. You know, you've mentioned Frederick Heron and Tom Abbott, you know, who's the president now, the apss and Andrew Bryan, people like that, you know, Jerome Joseph, an incredible guy. I like following these guys, because I see what they've built here locally. And because they've moved countries so many times in my lives, and whenever I've moved the country, I've had to learn how to set up a business and that culture and my mindset when I network, it's always a How can I help you mindset I love serving communities. I love serving people. What I do for a living right now is because I know I got it. I want to share it and because I'm sharing it, I know I'm learning more Because I'm still a student today. So by looking at some of these leaders of the apss here, I see guys that I could learn so much from but when I see what I can learn from them first, I see what I could teach them. I see what added value I can offer them. Why would someone agreed to teach me unless I can continuously add value to them? Why can I expect for someone to sit for lunch with me to share some insight knowledge to make a recommendation to me to give me some tips on how can I expedite my growth and in this country being completely new to the culture, if I don't certainly know how I can add tremendous value to them right now. And when I go into meetings with some of these speakers, the same thing like Tony, Tony is one of the top speakers in the world in my opinion, if not the number one speaker and when I meet him now, it's different. You know, when I met him a couple of years ago was completely nervous, not understanding how can I add value to this person, but then when I started promoting isn't And teaching people around, you know, the Russian speaking countries who Tony is and what his message is. I understood that by just taking this action by building a business around it, I was adding value to him. And I would not fully understand until something like two weeks ago Why now he wants to add value to me why he wants to spend time with me why he wants to mentor me. And I think it's the best way to really build relation with these speakers is look for other speakers around the world that you can collaborate with, maybe do a joint venture with maybe do have a strategic partnership with share a stage with speakers is something that I've taken on board is a very serious strategy in order to grow quickly. You know, I looked for someone like Brian Tracy, who I've loved for almost 20 years of my life and when I made those decisions to become a top speaker in Russia, I had to find the biggest speakers that are respected by Russians were international and try to get on their stages as well. James Taylor So very smart. And what you're talking about here is also very strategic. At the same time, you know, this is not, oh, I need to send this one sheet to someone I need to know for you, there's a there's a lot of thought that's gone into this a lot of kind of planning is very strategic at that level. And I'm wondering, now, as you start going to building out all this, you know, we often hear this this distinction between the keynote speakers people that just going to get that 10 K to go or 15 k whatever the figure is to go and speak at that event. And what we sometimes call platform speakers, of course, like a Tony Robbins Is that who, yes, he will occasionally go and speak for a big organization, but most of time, it's his, his his stages that he's doing. And you're you're dealing with both of these types of speakers through your, your, your Bureau, and you know, many of these types of speakers. It sounds to me like you're very much kind of thinking for you as you build your speakers on the platform side. For anyone that is kind of relatively new to this distinction between the keynote just go straight forward keynote Speaker and a platform speaker, you know, where's the money? You know, for someone is just thinking, What's going to give me the biggest opportunity to to grow, you know, as quickly because I know some people just there's that laser like focus of just focusing on keynotes and people can do really well, and doing that. But then there's this other thing which milken entrepreneurial speaker you're talking about. Gil Petersil Yeah. So I really think it comes down to what do you want out of life and what kind of priorities you have if you got four kids at home, and you can necessarily depend on the one ad hoc, you know, keynote speaking here and there, then you build a business around then you sell as a keynote and then you have a back end that maybe it's a three day training seminar inside of a company. It really depends if what people actually want for themselves. I know some speakers who like working approximately three months out of every year and then they go and they relax and they sit in another home. They sit in one of the islands they they have a great time they spend time with their family in a little Love that. But personally, myself, I love working. I don't really call it work. Last weekend I was in Vietnam and next week I'm traveling again. And for me, I love combining business and pleasure I currently I'm, you know, I feel blessed that I have a wife that loves traveling with me, because she's a part of the business, of course, and she runs two of our companies, and I have a young daughter who's very easy to travel with, I think in, you know, 510 years, I'll be in a different position with many kids and being just a keynote might be something I would want to do at that stage of my life, because I'd have more freedom to spend time with my kids and go pick them up from school and I can't necessarily commit to five days in China and three days in India, because I know speakers like that and they're away from home 80% of the year, and I don't want to do that. And that's for me my personal lifestyle choice because I've been there and done that. I've been traveling on the road a lot and back then I didn't have a family. So I did that. But now that I have a family, I wouldn't want to do that. Now. Money is in both To be honest, as a keynote, you can make two to $5,000. You can make 10 to 30. You can make 100 Plus I know speakers will make 100 Plus, but it's not enough to them. They want to charge a lot more. Ilan Musk, like didn't accept a speech a speaking opportunity for 500,000. I know guys like Steven Seagal once 120 Okay, what is he going to talk about? I'm not sure, but that's what he wants, because he doesn't have a back end where you can actually train in a structured manner. Some other speakers that I've met here, the keynote that they do is not as good as a one day in the office group coaching, proper training, you know, everyone has their gifts. So I think it's really being open with yourself maybe speaking some of your mentors and understanding what is my gift and do I want to do that? 20 minutes, one hour motivation, really a lot of detail information, or do I want to actually prolong it over a one day period work with people do I love people that much? James Taylor I think that's what's been fun about At the summit all the different guests yourself and Minaj and Jerome and some Tom Piller who you mentioned, there's such a variance of the kind of, and it really, some of them, it takes them a while to kind of find what their thing is, and where some people more like doing the keynoting or the platform building businesses, others it just like it's just instinctually I know, this is kind of where I want to be. But what was nice about it is this, you know, just choose your lane, choose your path and and just go for it and find a great mentor, you know, in that path, serve as a platform, reach out and be some like Gil or, or, you know, someone like Dan for example, and and kind of form those connections because because they they have a game plan for that they've built their strategies around that. And I'm interested in your work. You've been on stages and you've worked alongside you've also represented through the through the Bureau, so many great speakers, but what's the best piece of advice that you've ever received about speaking? Gil Petersil I think when I there was really I could look at him two different sides. were nice Started one of the advisor mentor gave me said Listen, you want to speak, stop talking about it go and speak. And this is something I'm now giving the exact same advice of a mastermind for speakers in Russia treaty training people how to get on stages and I'm that's exactly what I'm telling. Don't wait for only the paying gigs if you're just starting off right now or if you're, you know, getting things going, don't wait for someone to come to you go to universities, go to charity organization, go to different Chamber of Commerce's, you know, go to old people homes and just talk. You know, practice makes perfect. And for me, I got to say it when that advice came to me, I didn't think it was something but I actually went to high schools. In a one stage, I became a coach for the director of the high school and actually paid me good money, but just offering myself to speak in front of the students was energizing. It was fun. I had to prepare, I got my content to be better. So that's one practice truly makes perfect and the more you speak The more you kind of refine the content that you truly want to speak about, and on the other side where I am today, it's more making sure that you have authentic stories behind your content. So today, I don't just speak about my content, I live it. I don't speak about strategic networking. I am a strategic networker. It's how I do my business. Every business I have runs on it today, my corporate clients, when I come into them, like guys, I'm not going to train you how to do something hypothetical, I'm going to walk you through step by step on how to use the what I call the new code of networking, to get what you want to achieve your goals, to get more clients to have more freedom, whatever it is that you want. It's all basically a co creation that we have with others. And today, that's what I tell. The best advice I give to speakers is don't be a loner, connect with strangers. partner up with the speakers. Don't see competitors in anyone else. around you. Because if you thinking competition, you don't think there's enough clients to go around. So think about abundance and just see every single person you meet, not as a potential client, but as a potential future friend who might recommend me to someone one day, so treat people with respect, give them free content, and just enjoy your life. James Taylor COMM my question for you, first of all, what is what is that that mobile app or that online resource of that tool that you don't think you could now probably live without as a speaker? Gil Petersil I would save that for me today. LinkedIn is really it. You know, having LinkedIn is really helped me transform my speaking career. But really, again, I'm looking at it from an entrepreneurial point of view. It's helped me transform the way I I run businesses, the way I recruit the way I attract customers. Today, I actually have a full time girl in my office, just helping me manage my LinkedIn account because there's so many requests and so many new business cards that I pick up and when I tell speakers You meet people always enter that business card into some sort of a database. What I do today, I enter you into into LinkedIn and I connect with you and I send you a little message. And also I enter you my CRM, and today, everyone's got a mobile phone, it doesn't really matter what you have, make sure that your CRM system is backed up connected to your computer connected to some sort of an in the cloud system. And there's so many out there and make sure that you you have a way to just follow up with people, whether it's weekly or monthly, just have a way that you can reconnect and reconnect. And for me, LinkedIn is number one, not just social network. It's a tool that I use to maintain these connections. James Taylor And I think I've got an app on my phone. I can't remember what it's called now Munch card Munch or something, where you can just take the take a photo of the card, and it automatically do the connection within LinkedIn is connect to your LinkedIn account. So there's I know there's a couple of cool apps. Gil Petersil There's a lot there's a lot of apps out there. I didn't know there was one that automatically connects you with the LinkedIn Want to know that by what the recommendation I would give you be careful what a lot of these apps because the connection that they send people is a template connection. And I think that's a mistake that a lot of people do because you're just sending them Hello, I would like to add into my professional network. Don't do that. If you're connecting with people, especially as a speaker, what you want to do is you want to personalize it a little bit. Now, you can keep it as a semi template, but it could be, you know, hello, James, it was really great to meet you at the apss event last week, I really, you know, enjoyed our conversation to see synergies and potential future discussions. Just to remind you, this is the sort of topics I love speaking about. If there's anything I can ever do to help you out, please reach out to me But either way, I love to stay in touch. So I'll follow up with you in the next few weeks. You know, awesome, that sort of follow up that's personalized, that's telling them where you met. It's telling them what you do, and it's telling them that you come in peace. James Taylor What about what is in your speaker bag, what is in that bag that you take to all You're speaking gigs that you never leave home without, you know, you have all your your gadgets and your things what was in that bag? Gil Petersil That's a funny one. So I'm gonna say the obvious ones that I think most speakers have. It's the clicker. It's I have my own headset microphone. I always go to events with it because I don't do events where I do a handheld and you know, my microphone is good at suits me. I have my USB stick just in case they lost my presentation. It's always good to come with it. I have my it's funny, but I have a little bell with some of my events. Because when you want to interact with the audience, depending on the time you have, you need to get them to stop talking, I have a little bell actually gets people's attention. It's amazing. And one extra thing that I always have is actually have little mint boxes, little Tic Tac boxes, not the big ones, the little ones, which I give people who are openly engaging with me. One I give it to them as a reward for openly engaging with me a partner in an audience. And two, it's a really good you know, networking. little tool. People need mints in their pockets and the network's they just fit with a lot of the topics that I cover. James Taylor Awesome, great. And we'll put we'll put some links here as well. I'll find out what clicker you use and things and we'll we can add some of those here as well. Let's if you can only recommend one book in relation to speaking, or actually just relation to, you know, entrepreneurship. So because you have these, you blend on the speaker and the entrepreneurship thing. What would that book be? What would the book recommendation be? Gil Petersil Why not? Can I give three quick ones? James Taylor We open we have some time. Let's go for it. Give me give us those three. Gil Petersil I'll give three quick ones. I'm not going to go into details. So not in any specific order. But again, we spoke about Tony so awaken the giant within by Tony, I believe that every single speaker out there is a celebrity that's waiting to launch themselves. Every celebrity is a star. And every speaker has the opportunity to be that star. They just need to awaken that person within them. Number two, I would say is karmic. management by gesha Michael Roach really awesome men new mentor in my life, someone who I've had the, the, you know the honor to share the stage with multiple times, karmic management's just something that I think every person on earth needs to know. But as a speaker, you need to understand what's going on. Because when you're sharing that much with so many people, karma does work. So think about what you're sharing, think about what you're giving them and think about what you're expecting back. And the third one, I would say, is a little bit on the spiritual side, but it's also something quite important to me. It's the Power of Now by Eckhart Tolly. And again, from a business point of view, from a networking point of view, the power of now is just being able to be in the present moment. And when I network with someone when I'm on stage with people, I'm here with you, I'm here with you as an audience. I'm not anywhere else. I'm not thinking about my business. I'm nothing but my wife. I'm not thinking about my my phone. What I need to do next, I'm not thinking about money. I'm thinking about delivering an amazing right now show a content for you, whatever it is, my objective is, I'm right here now with you. And Eckhart totally redid that for me. He taught me a lot about the power of now. And again, I've had the honor to meet him a few times and even more blessed. He's accepted my invitation to come to Russia this September 1 time ever in Russia. He's accepted an invitation is going to be in Russia when we are hosting his event. So I'll get to share the stage with one more of my heroes. James Taylor One incredibly influential writer and an speaker as well. Yes. One I know a couple of people have spoken on this stage as well. Incredible, incredible person. So we'll put those links there as well. And a final question. If you woke up tomorrow morning and had to start from scratch, what would you do if you had to wake up tomorrow morning, you had no contacts, no one knew who you were. But you've had all the tools of your trade and all the knowledge you've acquired as a speaker as an entrepreneur. What would you do? How would you restart things? Gil Petersil So you know, I'm gonna speak from real practical, you know, advice right here. I came to Singapore, I didn't know anyone, I had to start from scratch. So I'm talking as someone who's moved countries about every 10 years, I came here not knowing anyone. First thing I did is I looked up what events are happening and who the speakers are. And I started reaching out to the event organizers, I started trying to reach out to the speakers to see if I can just meet up with them. I looked at different networking events to try to understand from the local community, the strengths and weaknesses of the local community, what are people missing? What are people needing, I wasn't selling myself, I wasn't talking too much about who I am. It was more about asking them, who they are, what they're doing, where the pain is, and the local society where you are. And that really helped me to build relationship with it. The event organizer got me on a couple of stages when people say you know what, wow, like we don't need a speaker right now. But we Do I need a host and I became a host last week, there was a massive event here called Green is the New Black, which is all about lifestyle and organic industry and being a being a having a, you know, a kind of a healthy life and which is an industry that I love. And, you know, coincidentally actually used to be in that business itself. But they said, We don't need to speak about it. But if you want to host the whole event, you could. And I'm not a host, but why not? Because in between every speaker, I was able to engage the audience, get them to network, and basically build a brand for myself. And I did that for free one, because I didn't have anything else to do that weekend. It was a fun event, too. I managed to represent myself in front of 2000 people three, why not? It's a great way to give back and connect with the right people. James Taylor Gil, thank you so much for coming on. Today's been an absolute pleasure.

Download In this episode, Joe talks with Matthew Remski, yoga teacher, consultant and author. In the show they talk about high demand group life and their cultic mechanisms, and the after effects of living in a high demand group setting. 3 Key Points: Matthew Remski shares his experience of spending most of his 20’s in cults, and his healing journey afterward. Cults aren't defined by their content (political, religious, psychedelic), they are defined by their element of control. Another term for a ‘cult’ is a high demand group. High demand groups can be very appealing from the outside, no one signs up for the rape, torture, or manipulative experiences that happen inside of a cult. And the after effects from high demand group life can be extreme, such as PTSD, inability to form romantic relationships, etc. Support the show Patreon Leave us a review on iTunes Share us with your friends – favorite podcast, etc Join our Facebook group - Psychedelics Today group – Find the others and create community.

From 2008 through 2012, he co-directed Yoga Festival Toronto and Yoga Community Toronto, non-profit activist organizations dedicated to promoting open dialogue and accessibility.

In all subject areas, he encourages students to explore how yoga practice can resist the psychic and material dominance of neoliberalism, and the quickening pace of environmental destruction.

In this episode Stuart & I discuss Buddhist cults and cultish behaviour in Buddhist groups. We look at cultish behaviours in particular and how they manifest in even innocuous Buddhist groups. We discuss the wider implications of the trade off between belonging and autonomy and the three core theories that explain why people get involved in Buddhist groups. We also look at the difference between cults and new religious movements and the difficulty in the academic world of defining a cult. To avoid such a trap, we focus on cultish behaviours instead and ask to what degree each of the organisations we discuss exhibits them. We invite listeners to consider to what degree their own Buddhist group may exhibit such behaviours and why they are present. We cover the NKT, Rigpa, Shambhala, Michael Roach and HH, Maitreya Ron Spenser. In this episode, someone is bound to get offended, but it's all good as Stuart and Matthew get culty. Second additional note (07/09/2015): Dear Listeners, We recently put out a podcast episode covering cultish behaviour in Buddhism and discussed some of those behaviours along with how they are expressed in a number of small and large Buddhist groups. We also managed to make a mistake which needs clarifying here. In that episode, which has since been edited to remove the offending section, we, or better I, made three assertions concerning the figure of Indy Hack. This was an unfortunate mistake on my part and I wish to clarify that mistake here so listeners who may have heard the earlier edit can be clear on the issue. Indy Hack has asked me to clarify three points and I am happy to do so here for the benefit of mutual understanding and good faith. 1. Fabrication of articles: I wrongly stated that Indy Hack fabricates articles. I have understood from Indy hack that this is not true and I apologise for stating so. This was a mistake on my part. 2. Membership of the NKT: I unwittingly assumed Indy Hack was a member of the NKT. Indy Hack has informed me that this is not true so again this was a mistake on my part. I apologise for making this assumption. 3. CIA & the Dalai Lama: I incorrectly associated a story I had heard about the CIA and Dalai Lama to Indy Hack. This was a genuine mistake. Indy Hack has not told this story and again it was a mistake on my part to have made this link. It is worth noting that Indy Hack has been helpful in clarifying these issues and we at the Imperfect Buddha Podcast will strive to do better with future episodes. We wish Indy Hack all the best with his work. We also wish clarity and wisdom to all those venturing into the public sphere with podcasts. This is the last I will mention of this unless events take a strange turn. Matthew O'Connell

Michael Roach is very future-forward when it comes to his work. As we talked, I kept thinking “hey, so-and-so is doing that now…except Michael was doing it years ago”! Aside from being a graphic designer and web designer, Michael is also a jazz pianist, and we talked a bit on how music influences his design work and on the vibrant design scene in upstate New York.
