Deze Bonus Episode is eigenlijk een vervolg op Episode #54, waarin ik het had over hoe ik getriggerd werd door een comment van een van mijn Dream Members. Door haar reactie vervolgens weer op mijn podcast episode, kwamen we in een inspirerend gesprek over hoe iedereen zijn eigen unieke streven heeft en waarom het durven uitkomen voor wie je werkelijk bent uiteindelijk de beste manier is om de hele wereld op een hoger energieniveau te krijgen. De Voice Messages over en weer waren zo inspirerend dat we besloten ze ook met jullie te delen, dus enjoy! Wat ga je leren? > Hoe spiritualiteit, materialisme en zelfliefde/zelfoordeel met elkaar in verband staan > Hoe iedereen zijn eigen manier heeft om “aan” te gaan > Waarom jouw oordeel over de buitenwereld vooral een reflectie is van de (beperkende) overtuigingen die je bezighouden > Waarom het beter is te denken in termen van en/en in plaats van of/of Hoogtepunten uit de Podcast > 2:21 De reactie van Femke op Episode #54 “Gaat spiritualiteit en materialisme überhaupt wel samen?!” > 4:57 Mijn bericht aan Femke: alhoewel we allemaal bezig zijn met hetzelfde thema, streven we allemaal iets anders na omdat ieders Source haar eigen voorkeuren heeft > 6:43 Het ervoor durven uitkomen wie je werkelijk bent: doe wat voor jou goed voelt > 8:23 Hoe we gezamenlijk als wereld ook op een steeds hogere energie kunnen en zullen komen > 11:56 De reactie van Femke: de overtuigingen die jou bezighouden, zijn wat je gespiegeld krijgt in je oordelen over de buitenwereld > 13:51 Over zelfliefde, jezelf dingen gunnen en verantwoordelijkheid voor de aarde Links mentioned in this Episode Alignment First Membership Een ongewoon gesprek met God Femke Bakker – kindtoyour.mind.nl P.S. Om het Alignment First Membership groots te lanceren organiseer ik 11 juni een exclusieve gratis online lanceer party waarin ik iets ga doen waarvan mijn ego heel hard “nee” schreeuwde maar mijn source volop “ja” zegt. Ik ga namelijk live met jullie mijn source meditatie delen om jou ook in contact te brengen met jouw source. Geloof mij dit wil je niet missen, dus vergeet je niet direct aan te melden voor de lanceer party door HIER te klikken.

My guest on today's podcast is Georgina El Moshady she is a copywriter and has been the voice and ghostwriter behind some of the big product launches out there on the internet land. Like many of my guests, this life was not part of the plan and has been a journey of discovery. Last week saw the launch of the Change Your World Every Day. It is amazing to be part of the team that is bringing this project into the world. Seeing people step up to the possibility of change is such a privilege. It is also pushing me to evaluate my position. The topic that came up for many of the group the recognition that life could be a struggle. Why is that so? My wife prefers to call these challenge as struggle feels so negative. I have been considering this for a few days and have come to a different conclusion that struggle and challenge can be that same. It is a question of perspective. Could there be a difference between facing a problem, which is taking on the challenge? Or being in the struggle as resistance to facing the challenge? Challenge or struggle they are both obstacles on the path to our chosen destination. What I notice is that even successful people experience their own challenges. But more than that they will often create them seek them out. Why seek a challenge I guess the question is, would life be worth doing if there is no resistance to doing it? Think of all the best stories or films, it is about the hero on a journey. The characters go through a series of event meeting resistance on the path. Those challenges strengthen the resolve to build their character making them ready to meet the next big challenge. If Luke Skywalker hopped on a spaceship somewhere and blew up the Death Star when the first 10 minutes, the Star Wars adventure would not have lasted for 11 films and counting. The point is in order to live a good life. We need the challenge to keep it interesting. There needs to be some stretch and strain, the level of that depends on who you are, but it will grow as you grow. For some, there is a desire to keep growing. have already mentioned successful people going out of their way to create challenge and obstacle. They have reached a point where every day needed something to keep it interesting. Through these interviews, I have been allowed access to peoples life path and goals are just markers on the path. They are the points of momentary reward, but it is the journey between the goals that makes it all worthwhile. That is enough for today, this conversation deserves its own podcast. If you have any thoughts on the get in touch, I would love to explore other opinions. Back to my guest so I've known Georgina for a number of years we have been in similar groups together. I have seen her grow and develop moving out from behind the scenes and taking on a more proactive roll. Over the last few months she has been expressing her own message, our conversation is the story of how her life moved in different directions. Georgina El Morshdy has been a professional copywriter and content creator for over 7 years. She is known as the ‘Secret Voice’ behind a number of 7-figure brands. It is her ability to unlock the message that has helped many entrepreneurs establish their thought leadership through the written word. She one of the writers for Copyblogger and Talk Business. She’s also ghost written articles that have featured on sites such as Entrepreneur.com and Forbes. When not writing, Georgina is passionate about personal development, the inner journey, and fearless self-expression. She loves deep conversations, long walks in nature, spontaneity, and overseas adventures. I hope you enjoy the conversation with Georgina El Moshadyhttps://www.facebook.com/GElmorshdy/ http://www.findyouryou.co.uk/

This week we're talking to Zack Soto about his newly released comic, The Secret Voice! Join us as we talk about fantasy, the process of working through an epic narrative and self doubt.
This is Episode 268, and April finds Graeme McMillan and Jeff Lester talking like a couple of fools about topics like the soon-to-dramatically expand library of DC Universe; the movies Shazam and Us; The Secret Voice, Vol. 1 by Zak Soto; Star Wars Celebration; the joys of failed immersion; what to avoid when telling a New Gods story and much, much more!

Derek talks with Zack Sot0 about his Kickstarter project The Secret Voice, Vol. 1. Zack describes it as "as psychedelic fantasy epic" filled with psychic warrior monks, wild kung fu magic battles, monsters, and even a bit of romance. Over the coals of their conversation, Zack discusses the origins of The Secret Voice in a minicomic, its development as a webcomic and then a comic book, and its maturation as a book-length narrative. The creator describes the premise this way: Doctor Galapagos, a goggled, bandaged mystery man is just one of many agents of the ineffable Red College that we meet in the pages of The Secret Voice. Doctor Galapagos is our hero, our mystic battle man on the spot. He seems wildly capable of facing any and all hand to hand combatants. But Dr. G isn't justbattling hundreds of angry trolls or brigands all at once, he's also fighting an unseen, unknown, psychic menace. He's finding his grip on reality becoming more and more tenuous, just when he needs it the most. There are a variety of reward levels to choose from, as well, including not only the book -- in both digital and hardcopy format -- but swag, original art, and prints. This is a fun story that the Two Guys have discussed on a past episode of the webcomics series, so you know it's worth checking out. So what are you waiting for? Back The Secret Voice, Vol. 1!

When I began this podcast I would often get frustrated at how unsuitable my recording environments would be. Sitting down in a dressing room or tour bus, the perfectionist in me would get annoyed at odd sounds, like a refrigerator buzzing or traffic passing.I've learned to accept it as something of a unique feature of this podcast. There are other shows out there who can afford to ask their guests to come into a soundproofed studio or, hell, even just a room in a house, and those shows are great. Conversely, there's podcasts out there which conduct interviews over Skype, and I enjoy those too, but for me the DIY ethic is something I've always embraced in my journalistic and creative life. I think in the beginning I lost sight of that.I understand and accept that I'll probably never conduct an interview in a studio, so I've grown to enjoy the unpredictable nature of recording in the wild. A good conversation can happen anywhere at any time, not just in a studio. In fact, I've come to believe that perhaps because the guests feel more at ease in familiar surroundings, the interviews come across much more relaxed and open.Jeremy has always identified with that DIY punk ethos, and he talks a bit about this in the interview, mostly in relation to Secret Voice but also in regards to punk music more generally.It was great to finally sit down with the man. I've been trying to land this interview for a couple of years; firstly at Hevy festival in 2015 and then last year when they were in Scotland. He spoke about his love of Glasgow, touring, Secret Voice, Stage Four and so much more.It's a cracking wee chat if I do say so myself.Featured MusicIntro: David Szesztay – CombatMusic bed: Lee Rosevere - Planet DOutro: Blue Dot Sessions – InessentialI make no claim to the copyright of any of the music in this episode.Image credit: Noisey by Vice.

YOUR SECRET VOICE Your voice paints a picture of you. Do you know what that picture is? It’s really important to know what people “see” when they just hear your voice – on the phone, a podcast, a webinar, anyplace where they do not see your face. The amount of money of you make and the quality of your relationships can be powerfully influenced by the impression you make with your voice. People are often shocked when they discover their vocal image. It may have nothing to do with the way they see themselves or the way they really are. Lynn Woodman, a professional actress and voice coach, reveals important secrets you need to know about the way your voice represents you to the world. You’ll love Lynn, you’ll love her voice, and you’ll love the power she will give you over your own voice. Power that you can feel and use immediately. Tell us what you think and feel.

The fabulous Edwin Coppard and how ineffective language is but how effective singing is.
On the July webcomics show, Andy W. and Derek do something different. Not only do they look at two current and ongoing series, along with one already completed title -- as is their usual format -- but they do so by focusing on just one specific webcomics outlet: Study Group Comics. The guys begin, appropriately enough, by looking at current work from Zack Soto, the publisher of Study Group. His comic, The Secret Voice, is a mashup of various genres, part adventure, part science fiction, part superhero, and (at least in the beginning) part Jules Verne-inspired fantasy. So far there are five completed chapters of The Secret Voice, and as the narrative unfolds, Soto is creating an ever-expanding and complex world centered around the enigmatic Dr. Galapagos. Next, the guys discuss François Vigneault's Titan, a futuristic sci-fi drama set in an hydrocarbon processing refinery on Saturn's satellite, Titan. Vigneault's story is perhaps the most socially charged of this month's bunch, touching upon class and ethnic conflicts, and even venturing at times into scientific ethics. Titan is in its fourth chapter, with Vigneault currently posting updates. Finally, Derek and Andy look at a Study Group webcomic that was completed back in 2012, Julia Gfrörer's Black Is the Color. Her story is relatively simple and straightforward -- a sailor is cast adrift from his ship and encounters a fabled mermaid -- but Gfrörer's art and pacing add a sophistication that give depth to this relatively short narrative. Black Is the Color is driven by subtleties and innuendo, ultimately embracing an ambiguity that opens up text in unexpected ways. This story was published in hardcopy by Fantagraphics in 2013, and in fact, the other webcomics discussed this month have seen printed form, and through Study Group Comics. There are two comic-book issues of The Secret Voice published so far, and one of Titan. Listeners of the monthly webcomics series will be saddened to learn that this will be the last episode in which Andy Wolverton will serve as regular cohost. Andy will still be a big part of The Comics Alternative family of podcasts -- he's not going anywhere soon -- but he's decided to hand over his webcomic-analyzing duties to another so that he can pursue another project for The Comics Alternative. So keep your eyes open for more exciting stuff from Andy W.! Beginning in August, Derek's cohost for the webcomics series will be Sean Kleefeld, an incisive critic and webcomics maven who is sure to inject some gravitas into the show.

In addition to focusing on all of these upcoming releases, Andy and Derek also discuss Dark Horse's recent decision to make several of their ongoing series digital-only, IDW's acquisition of Top Shelf Productions as a new imprint, Alternative Comic's new distribution agreement with several small presses, the joys of Adrian Tomine, and the fact that this is “Women in Comics” month in the March Previews catalog. In all, lots o' things are covered…the kind of substantive, quality programming you've come to expect from the Two Guys with PhDs.
