Whether you realize it or not, you are a creator—and in today's world, embracing that identity is non-negotiable if you want to build a thriving business.In this episode of Passionate & Prosperous, I'm breaking down why every coach, expert, and service provider needs to step into their creative power—not just in the traditional “artistic” sense, but in how you communicate, share your message, and create offers that attract the right clients.Right now, we are living in what's known as the Creator Economy, where visibility, impact, and success come from your ability to create content, messaging, and experiences that connect with your audience. Yet so many business owners hold themselves back by saying things like:“I'm not creative.”“I don't know how to come up with content.”“I just want to do my work—I don't want to be a marketer.”But here's the truth: If you want people to find you, trust you, and ultimately invest in your services, you have to create. Whether it's messaging, offers, workshops, or free content, you need to turn your expertise into something tangible that your audience can experience.Inside This Episode, You'll Learn:Why every entrepreneur is part of the Creator Economy (whether you like it or not!)How to shift your mindset from “I'm not creative” to “I create valuable things every day”The biggest mistake coaches & service providers make when trying to market themselvesHow to create content & messaging that attracts and converts clientsThe role of storytelling and authenticity in making your work stand outWhy being a creator doesn't mean being on social media 24/7 (and what to focus on instead!)If you've been feeling frustrated by content creation, marketing, or putting yourself out there—this episode will completely shift how you see your role as a business owner.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

When it comes to leadership, there's a lot of focus on the skills and qualities that make a great leader, but what's often overlooked is the importance of commitments that leaders make to themselves. To truly lead others, you must first lead yourself. And that means making commitments to yourself. These commitments are the foundation upon which all other leadership skills are built, and they're what set powerful leaders apart from the rest.In this episode, we talk about:A reflection on how we can apply toltec wisdom to grow as leaders and entrepreneurs (Reference: The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz)Why you should strive to “do your best” in business and why that may not look the way you think it shouldThe four sacred commitments that every leader must make to themselvesHow to become aware of and accept who you are as a leader and how you are designed to leadThe importance of self-accountability, how it differs from being held accountable and how to develop or strengthen this habitThe different types of decision-making authority, how to identify yours and understand the role it plays in growing and sustaining your business Resources:Free Human Design Core Four Success FormulaTM ReportThe CEO's Guide to Using Human Design for Sustainable Business GrowthTurning Challenges Into Business Opportunities with Human Design

When you think of the key qualities of an effective leader, what words come to mind? Did you include the word GENEROUS? If not, you will add that word to your list after you listen to this conversation with guest Joe Davis. Joe is the author of a fantastic new book, The Generous Leader: 7 Ways to Give of Yourself for Everyone's Gain. This important book is a must-read for every leader because it touches on so many areas that the best leaders learn and practice. Joe exemplifies the type of leader Meredith is always eager to have as a guest: he's focused his entire career on growing strong as a leader and helping others realize their potential. Joe is a Senior Partner at Boston Consulting Group or BCG. In The Generous Leader, Joe shares a performance review he received that was a game-changer for him: He was told he was not the best at problem-solving solo; but with others, he could solve any challenge. His manager identified his key strength—a person who could connect with others.  Joe has leveraged that strength in his 35+ years at BCG in roles such as co-founding the Washington, DC, office and leading BCG North America. He is currently Chair of BCG's Center for Inclusion and Equity and the Board Chair at Whitman College.  You'll discover: What leaders can do to help others feel seenWhy Joe recommends leaders adopt the “practice of perspective taking”How Joe pushes people to be more than they believed possible and addresses times when they diminish themselvesHow to be an Action Ally and not a Performative AllyWays to show vulnerability so others more easily connect with youCheck out all the episodesLeave a review on Apple PodcastsConnect with Meredith on LinkedInFollow Meredith on TwitterDownload the free ebook Listen Like a Pro

In today's episode, we delve into the transformative power of self-compassion in leadership with our recurring guest, Massimo Backus—an esteemed executive coach and author of Human First, Leader Second. Together, Andy and Massimo explore why self-compassion is a vital, yet often overlooked, skill for effective leadership, challenging the traditional emphasis on emotional toughness.Massimo, who has been on the podcast multiple times, brings fresh insights from his new book and shares practical frameworks for incorporating self-compassion into daily leadership practices. They discuss:The challenges leaders face in being kinder to themselvesHow this mindset shift can improve long-term resilience and team dynamicsThe importance of mindfulness, creating mental space, and balancing professional decorum with authenticityThis episode is packed with actionable advice, real-life examples, and the latest research to help leaders at all levels enhance their well-being, performance, and relationships within their organizations. So, whether you're managing a team or trying to navigate your own career journey, this episode offers invaluable tools for driving sustainable success through self-compassion.Massimo built his successful executive coaching practice based on the radical idea that self-compassion is a leadership epiphany. It is radical because it is in direct opposition to the traditional leadership orthodoxy that you have to become less of a human to be a better leader. Now through his coaching practice, group facilitation, speaking and the launch of his upcoming book Human First, Leader Second, Massimo is taking his message of self-compassion to the C-suites of the Fortune 1000.Connect with Andy Storch:WebsiteLinkedInJoin us in the Talent Development Think Tank Community!Join us at the Talent Development Think Tank ConferenceConnect with Massimo Backus:LinkedInWebsite

There are so many things about our lives that are gendered.And some of those things are a lot more important and hold more cultural significance than we realize–that is until we have kid who comes out as trans, and then all of that privilege you had and all the mental energy you didn't have to spend on thinking about all the ways in which the world wasn't set up for your transgender kid is gone.  Now, I should be clear, when I say “we”  I'm talking about cisgender, heterosexual, white people. People of color, which I am not, have a lot more awareness about the ways in which the white Western world was not built or designed for them. One of the most common conversations I have with white parents of trans kids, usually pretty early on and always because they bring it up, is about their awareness of exactly how much privilege they have, and also how much it sucks to lose it. Today we're talking with Erica Courdae about culture, hair, privilege, gender and race. Erica is the host of the podcast Pause on the Play® and has built an exceptional community of listeners who are showing up and exploring ways to make their values more explicit at work and at home. She has curated connections and learning experiences that will help anyone challenge harmful norms, show up as an imperfect ally®, and live in alignment.Check out the full episode to hear about:How Erica's experience in the beauty industry informs how she helps people investigate cultural norms and show up as themselvesHow having a trans child exposes the fragility of the norms and assumptions parents holdWhy it's so critical for parents to do their own self-work of acceptance and questioning apart from their kidsWhy parents need to be able to admit they were wrong and apologize to their childrenWhy neutrality is not an optionFind out more about Erica Courdae:Pause on the Play®The Pause on the Play® CommunityInstagram: @pauseontheplay Find out more about Mackenzie Dunham:Wildheartsociety.orgwildheartsociety.org/downloadsWild Heart Society on FacebookWild Heart Society on Instagram

Propellant Media is a digital advertising and geofencing marketing firm, and Justin Croxton serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the business. He has worked in marketing for over ten years and has a profound grasp of digital marketing methods. Repellent media began as an agency with one employee six years ago and has since developed into a firm with eight figures in annual revenue. Following this, he became aware of the need for programmatic display and geofencing and began providing these services to an increasing number of customers. If you are a car dealership and you want to target customers who are currently in the market wanting to purchase a vehicle, geofencing is the ideal method to achieve so. The use of geofencing is to generate engagement and awareness as a solution to the problem that it solves, which is targeting someone based on their physical location, and the places that they go.Geofencing needs to be part of your marketing plan, it can be its own penicillin from a marketing perspective. Pushing people from multiple different places to be retargeted, increases the effectiveness of your overall marketing plan. The possibilities for applications are almost endless and many different applications can be used. They do stray away from e-commerce stores or SAS because geofencing is the top middle of funnel awareness, building engagement and not generating leads. They do event targeting for B2B. Brands that are presenting at conferences, car dealerships, or brick-and-mortar retail locations. You want to be able to measure the people who click on your ads from the geofencing locations and come back to your store.You should look for the audience that has the greatest, most specific goal, and then figure out how to reach them in a variety of various settings. According to Justin, they are able to restrict particular mobile applications and websites and even direct consumers to Facebook and Instagram after they have seen an advertisement on their own site. Monitoring the number of people who see the advertisements, click on those advertisements, and then visited their actual locations.If you think in terms of the top, the middle, or the bottom of the funnel, bottom funnels will typically be your Google Ads, maybe Facebook site retargeting. Geofencing may be some Google display keyword, or contextual search targeting in the middle of the funnel. The top of the funnel might be tv, radio, or print.

If this episode has a theme, it's this: the adults in the room need to put on their air masks first.Today I'm talking with my friend Adrienne, who I meet with every week to chat about business. Adrienne is married and the mom of two children, one in preschool, one in elementary school.Adrienne is in the thick of trying to build a friendship community for her family. Here, she shares what's working and what's not. In my mind, what she's doing is advanced community building, in part because it's in her own needs. She wants people around she can depend on so she doesn't feel alone raising her kids.A lot of people tell me they never saw their parents have friends. Maybe they were part of a local group or a place of worship, but their parents never took those relationships outside of that one place. My thoughts? Even if you live near family, you still might benefit from community support.In this episode you'll hear about:How finding adult friends with shared interests is more sustainable than letting kids run the show, as kids' interests are more malleableShared experience roots – and how this can make entering into a friendship community that already exists difficultHow offering small intimacies – inviting someone to your unclean house, for example – shows you're human and offers the other person the opportunity to do the sameAn overview of the “community conversation” Adrienne had with the families in her neighborhoodInvesting in your own friendships, and why this models to children how to navigate and maintain friendships for themselvesHow being part of a family's community doesn't always mean watching kids; it can involve taking apart a swing set or being an emergency contact, etc.Resources & LinksLike what you hear?

We just got back from a 10-day family vacation to the West Coast. I feel so inspired that I started writing a book.As current members of my flagship program, “Love by Design,” share their wins and results (like start dating their dual partner types within just a couple of weeks of joining), I realize that each of them has one thing in common: they all INVEST in themselves.Being smart, professional women, many of us invest in our educational and professional growth, in real estate and in the stock market. Chances are, you'll get the ROI on your investments in terms of better career opportunities and lifestyle.The same universal principle works in relationships. When you invest in yourself, you increase your relationship rating, e.g., level of perceived desirability and value as a relationship partner.When you invest in becoming a better, stronger and more resourceful relationship partner, your relationship rating gets very high. And from that place, you get to attract and choose the highest quality of men in the dating space.On the other hand, if a woman isn't willing to invest in herself (and her future relationship), how can she expect a man to be willing to invest, too?In this week's podcast episode I explain exactly how it works so you can increase the quality of men you meet and choose your best partner.In this week's episode, you'll learn:What investing in yourself has to do with creating a great relationshipHow managing your mind gives you the key to managing your relationshipThe difference between women who invest in themselves vs. those who don'tThe sneaky reasons why some women don't invest in themselvesHow to know what's going to happen in your future without looking into a magic crystal ballHere are a few gold nuggets from this episode: “This is the universal principle, the absolute truth, that if you think about anything to invest in, what is most valuable to invest in is what is going to give you the biggest return on your investment—and that is yourself.”“When a woman believes in herself and knows she's worthy and deserving, she can create the results that she wants. She will decide and make that choice to invest in herself.”“Why it's so important to invest in yourself: because we get the return of this investment. When you truly connect to your source of energy and power that is unique to you—authentic to you—everything in your life becomes easier. Attracting the right type of men becomes easier and getting into relationships becomes easier.”“When it comes to relationships, there isn't anything more valuable than investing in yourself, so that you can be the best version of a relationship partner.”“The only way for a relationship to work long term is when you know how to manage yourself; then you can manage your relationship. When you know how to manage your relationship, then you can be in an amazing, fulfilling, loving, and happy relationship for the rest of your life.”—PolinaAre you investing in yourself and in your relationship skills and in your relationship and dating?If you are, I'm so excited for you! And I can't wait to see you in my flagship program, Love by Design, where I give you everything you need to become an incredibly strong, resourceful and powerful relationship partner who knows exactly how to navigate through every stage—starting from dating all the way to getting into a loving, committed lasting marriage.

So for me, I  tried to manifest that in many ways.”“I've always appreciated the idea of selling a physical product to someone and delivering a kind of value.”“The most important thing you can possibly do is either find an idea that you're personally excited about or build a team that you're personally really motivated to be with. Ideally, it's the combination of both.”“Focusing inherently means you are choosing to do one thing and you're choosing not to do another”“Where the founder spends his time is where the gravity of the business is pulled towards.”“Italic really came from that pool of the time to find the financing environment and I think most importantly, the idea of being exciting.”“We really think of Italic as a flywheel, the more customers we have, the more leverage we have to bring on new manufacturers, the more manufacturers and the more leverage we have with them, the more products we can offer.”“We want to offer the same quality and same kind of level design as these great brands, but at a much more value-driven price point.”“If you're sharing an accurate picture of the company, it's up to the investor whether they decide to invest or not and do their diligence, it wasn't because you sold them a false narrative.”“Playing the game in retail means you have to find some angle that uniquely differentiates yourself from the others.”“When you're talking to investors they trust that you'll build a good company for them.”“Whoever you bring into the organization is what the organization is going to become. When you're small, it's more important than ever that you're bringing in people who fit the cultural kind of value you set.”“Make sure you are working on what is important because that doesn't really change, the heart of the business rarely changes. Of course, you'll hear an occasional success story, like slack or what have you, but more often than not, that doesn't change and it's important that you set the right north star.”“Execution makes the strategy successful, not the strategy itself.”

Enneagram 6s, often known as the Loyal Skeptics, are constantly searching for certainty and security in an unpredictable world.6s are good friends, intuitive, and trustworthy. But they can also be quite fearful and doubtful.On this episode of the Leadership Formula, I walk you through the three subtypes of the Enneagram 6, describing why self-preservation 6s are extremely relationship-driven and have the reputation of being the “warmest” 6.I explain how the one-on-one 6s are the counter-type 6 and use their strong character to run towards fear and danger.Listen in to understand why social 6s love to follow rules, determine how others should conduct themselves, and are often very self-critical.What You Will LearnA review on the basics of the 3 instinctual subtypes: self-preservation, one-on-one, and socialWhy self-preservation 6s build strong alliances and relationships with others to feel safeWhy self-preservation 6s are the most phobic of the subtypes in Enneagram 6How self-preservation 6s got the reputation of the “warmest” 6 and have a driving need for friendshipWhy the one-on-one 6 is the counter-type 6 and often runs toward fear or dangerHow one-on-one 6s use their strong character as a defense mechanism to make others afraidHow to encourage one-to-one 6s to become more vulnerable and less aggressiveWhy social 6s tend to be “black and white” thinkers and prefer to follow rules and proceduresWhy social 6s find safety in being precise about how one should conduct themselvesHow social 6s are intellectual and self-critical, opening them up to being mistyped as a 1 or a 3Connect with Tracytracyomalley.comwww.instagram.com/tracy_omalleywww.facebook.com/tracy.omalleytwitter.com/TracyOMallwww.linkedin.com/in/tracy-o-malley/ResourcesWork with Tracy:http://tracyomalley.com/workwithme/Learn More About Team and Family Enneagram Workshops:http://tracyomalley.com/workshops/Leave a review on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-leadership-formula-podcast-enneagram-success/id1491541582?uo=4

Enneagram 8s are assertive, decisive, protective, independent and influential. And when we use these gifts for good, 8s are incredibly impactful leaders.But when an 8 is coming from a place of fear, protecting ourselves from vulnerability at all costs, these gifts become a wrecking ball, and we end up pushing people away.So, how can an Enneagram 8 learn to tap into compassion and use our power in service to others?On this episode of The Leadership Formula, I discuss the 8's fear of being betrayed, violated or put in a vulnerable position, describing the Challenger's motivational need to be strong and maintain a sense of control.I explain why an Enneagram 8 tends to judge people who don't assert themselves and how people experience less healthy 8s as domineering and aggressive.Listen in for insight around the intense energy of the Enneagram 8 and learn how an 8 can leverage their wings to lead with empathy and stretch into their growth number 2—the Compassionate Helper.

You epic people! I am so stoked to bring you episode 1 of Season 2! This season is a new page and a new direction for the podcast. I couldn't be more excited to kick things off than by interviewing three of the most charismatic, kind, creative, and epic individuals I have ever met! Their names are Jordy, Cam, and Lenny and they are the three brothers that make up the amazing band WeTheCommas. We discuss the personal relationship these three brothers have with music, mental health, and vulnerability. We discuss what it is like to be three black men who love to surf and skate, are vulnerable and pay attention to their mental health, and have a unique sound in the music industry. Too many they are seen as outliers. We discuss the necessity to get rid of stereotypes, amplify the voices of those who feel unheard, and create an inclusive, accepting, and supporting environment for individuals to live their authentic lives. We also have SO much fun! If you are listening to this interview, you can also watch it on YouTube!In this interview we specifically dive into:The power of creativityWhat is the importance of creativity?How do I train myself to be more creative?How can a person be creative?WeTheComma's creative processHow they use music to express themselvesHow they write their songsHow to produce a song from start to finishHow WeTheCommas first startedHow can I start creating music?How to begin creating musicHow to make it in the music industryAs you are reading this, we are officially the world's first ever OceanPositive podcast!

You may not know these terms but you know the undercutting feeling one produces, and the scramble the other does! Very important to recognize and say no to! Listen in.Hijackals--people with narcissistic, borderline, passive-aggressive, anti-social traits--play to win. Only to win. They cannot and will not tolerate blame or shame to touch them and they work hard at being two or three steps ahead of either of those at all times. This episode sheds light on two sad, and important, ways that they try to make you take responsibility for their deficits. As I said, sad! You may be familiar with projection. That's when the Hijackal projects their feelings or characteristics onto you, usually things they are afraid are true about themselves. Much more on that to hear. You may not be familiar with introjection. That;s when you unconsciously internalize and incorporate the characteristics, ideas and attitudes of other people into your own thoughts and behaviors, usualy to reduce your anxiety or fear of loss. Now, you can imagine what havoc these two things can create within you...but, only if you don't realize what's going on. This episode will help you clearly understand what these terms mean and how they play out. (p.s. NOT WELL!) It's important to know these distinctions so you'll be able to take charge when you see them! HIGHLIGHTS OF TODAY'S EPISODE:What projection is, and its purposeWhat introjection isHow introjection can be used positively AND negatively to shape you without your awarenessHow Hijackals use projection to protect themselvesHow you might use introjection to misguidedly try to get a Hijackal to like you and treat you well (p.s. That won't happen.)Do you know you need to learn to turn on the teflon and avoid the projection? I'm here to help.Let's talk soon.RhobertaWant clarity, insights, strategies, and support from me?

Here, we explore the crossroads of wellness entrepreneurs like you and me, who are committed to making money while helping others live healthier lives, people who are going up against big pharma insurance conglomerates, and the mainstream medical models. In each episode, we journey into the challenges and breakthroughs it takes to own your own business, pave the path through conventional medicine, and truly become a Wellness Renegade. Today I'm here with Ms. Dianne Allen. Welcome, Dianne.Dianne Allen  0:42  Hi, Jason. I'm glad to be here.Jason Stein  0:45  Let's go ahead and tell the listeners just a little bit about who you are. Because I know you to be someone that's worked with Grammy winners, someone who's been a best selling author, someone who understands what it is to be talented and gifted, someone who understands addiction - the list goes on and on. So, in one sentence tell the listeners who you are.Dianne Allen  1:09  One sentence: I am a gifted intuitive that helps people break out of the trance of living a life lower than they should and bring out their light - no matter what way it is,-whether it's free from addiction, or make friends with being gifted or all of those different things you just mentioned about me - because my core belief is that everybody has the right to health, wellness and happiness. And, the only thing in our way, is believing lies and our own belief systems that hold us back. So, my mission is to help people break through all of that, so that we're not living the lie anymore.Jason Stein  1:46  It's so interesting: there are so many lies these days! Both in our own head and in geopolitics everywhere. So, what I'm really - I'm gonna roll up my sleeves with you today because I'm really interested in the conversation of talented and gifted. And for children, we know what that means: they go into TAG (Talented and Gifted) programs, they're in advanced classes, they're in college credit. But as an adult, there's this word I'm learning about: "2e." What, what the hell is that? What does that even mean "2e?"Dianne Allen  2:20  "2e" is the short term that we use in the gifted world, it means twice-exceptional, which means the person is gifted, which means a high IQ with overexcitability and all of the gifted pieces. And there are other variants as well, like executive functioning issues, or maybe ADHD, or their learning strategy is different, or they're very, very sensitive, or they're very intuitive, or an empath. And so, this person not only has the challenges of being gifted (which has its own challenges), but they also have another overlying situation happening. So they need even more support and more guidance and assistance from people who are a little further down the road because sometimes it can get very tricky. So like I'm 2e, I have more than one thing going on. Most of the people I work with do, whether they call it that or not. That label comes mostly through the educators and gifted people. So the medical model, people don't use that. They don't - most of them don't even know what it is. And so it's - it's those of us who are really engaged with helping people live their vision. And two, we can get overlooked and misdiagnosed all the time.Jason Stein  3:31  Well, I'm really curious about this, because I'm wondering like a grown adult who is either successful or striving for success? How many of them are willing to say, "Well, I'm twice exceptional?"Dianne Allen  3:46  Probably none, unless they have been educated on what that really means. Jason Stein  3:51  Mm-hmm. Dianne Allen  3:51  And I most of the people that I work with Jason, they wouldn't call themselves gifted until I kind of helped them see that it's an asset that they maybe have been labeling as a liability. Or they had the misconception that calling themselves gifted or twice exceptional was an elitist kind of comment. And really, that's not the case, so they have to kind of make friends with themselves first. Most adults wouldn't use that language unless they're taught what it really means and can see that yes, you know, it's an exceptionality - but it doesn't mean that there's something wrong.Jason Stein  4:23  So what happens to these people? Like, I think about, if we're using this chewy terminology of the kids in high school, there was one kid I know that got a perfect score on his LSAT. Clearly, he had other challenges. And so, when we're thinking about, like, educationally, children get a tremendous amount of support when they are high functioning and they are talented and gifted. What happens to the adult that is highly talented and gifted? What happens to them?Dianne Allen  5:02  They can get lost in the system. They can get judged, missed, and feel really alone. And sometimes they struggle with addiction and feeling totally isolated. Some people try to hide their gifts, because you know, they want to be normal and fit in. I tried it, I made it about five minutes, I can't - that's not my skill set at all! And it's so we feel kind of like outliers like nobody really gets us and, and in some respects, only about 2% of the population actually will, because it's - it's a small, very small percentage of the population. And so that can get missed, they can get fired from jobs because they're, they're very intense and very focused. Often. I'm working with somebody now who's a business coach for a big medical facility and, and they were trying to fire the director of nursing because she was intense and focused. I'm like, well, let me see, you're running a hospital in the middle of COVID, you're totally gifted and talented, and you're dialed into solution... and the people above you want to talk about lunch or what's on TV. To a  twice exceptional person, that's ridiculous, because you're saving lives. The concrete brain has trouble flipping back and forth in that transition, and so I try to help advocate for people, like, if you have a really gifted, talented person around and they get intense, be happy about it because that means they're solving problems nobody else can see.Jason Stein  6:28  And let's just talk about this parallel between being gifted and addiction. Is the addiction - I'm assuming that it's to numb out that "I'm not normal, I'm different, I don't fit in." Or where does the addiction come in?Dianne Allen  6:44  It sometimes is that, but it also very frequently starts because that glass of wine or that cocktail will ease the abundant input. You know, like the brains tired, there's so much going on. One of my new clients just said "I feel 1000 things at once, and now what do I do?" And so, that takes so much energy. When you learn that, oh, that glass of wine or that drink will numb it or slow it down even, you get that relief. But what you don't know is you're playing with fire, and you keep searching for that relief, and then pretty soon it can turn into a big problem, rather than using a healthier coping skill. So it - sometimes you can feel everything and nothing at the same time.Jason Stein  7:29  And so I would think that - that with the proper support, that these talented and gifted individuals become great leaders in the world, is that true?Dianne Allen  7:41  I believe it's true. I believe that's - that's where the solution to the bigger problems are within the gifted, the twice-exceptional people who can see it. They suffer often from existential depression, which medicine will not help. So, when somebody says I've tried all this medicine, and it didn't work, or it only helped a little bit, I start looking in the existential arena. Then, I start noticing that they can see solutions that nobody around them can see. So, if you see a solution to a big problem, and nobody around you gets you or can see it, that creates a sort of depression - but it's not solved with medicine. It's solved by making friends with that and then bridging yourself into the paradigm so that you can make the solution happen.Jason Stein  8:22  Let's bring this down to like the street level of like existential depression. I don't think I'm 2e, I don't quite know what that means. What does that mean - existential depression?Dianne Allen  8:36  It means that it's not chemical - that would be endogenous depression. It's not exogenous depression, which means (it's caused by a) situational, behavioral, or a change or transition. Existential means that it's above the cognitive, it's in the more in the spiritual realm. And most of the time, what you will hear somebody say is, "I'm really depressed because I can see the solution and nobody can hear me." They speak it maybe in a boardroom, or to their partner, to their family, like, "I can see what to do here. I can see the problem for the pollution, or I can see global warming, I can see what to do." And everyone around them poopoos it or denies it, or pretends like they're not even talking.Jason Stein  9:27   Yeah. Dianne Allen  9:28  And then they get depressed because nobody, nobody gets it, even though they can see it as clear as day. And here's the interesting thing, Jason. Typically, they're right.Jason Stein  9:38  Yeah.Dianne Allen  9:39  And the world takes about two or three years to catch up with them, you know.Jason Stein  9:42  I think about Einstein, I think about Edison. I think about all the people that in the beginning, the masses thought they were crazy, and that they had no value. And it wasn't until later that their genius was truly appreciated and seen and so, what words of wisdom do you have for that person that's saying, "I see the solution." And everybody's like, "You should be locked up."Dianne Allen  10:12  The word first word of wisdom is if you see the solution, document it, write it down, do a video, draw it out, do whatever, and then seek people who will hear you and you're going to find them in the gifted/twice exceptional community, because we all get it. And even if I can't understand what your solution means, I get that it is the solution. And so the moment you feel heard and understood, that's the game changer.Jason Stein  10:39  Hm, and so I'm not invited to these conferences. And so what's one of the organizations that people could know about?Dianne Allen  10:49  Well, every state has their own gifted consortium or gifted group. But the international one is called SENG. It stands for Supporting Emotional Needs of Gifted. It has the largest online library of resources, has monthly online meetings and a conference once a year where I speak in that conference. And it's, it's really fun because you get to be affirmed. You know, you have gifted children. So when you act like you're not gifted, I'm going to call you out on it, because it's not true.Jason Stein  11:20  They get that from their mother, maybe. I yeah, I wasn't in TAG. But I think I have a gift in emotional intelligence, for sure. But normal IQ in the same community, do people talk IQ at all, or no?Dianne Allen  11:39  They talk IQ, they talk overexcite abilities and intensities. They talk - they're just now talking about addiction. It's funny, I used to want to talk about it, and the powers that be, years ago, would always say, "Well, we don't have addiction problems in gifted people." So I opened a gifted substance abuse recovery center that filled up right away, so I let them see that that's not the case. Now they're letting us talk about it. And they talk about education things, they talk about coping skills - everything you can think of.Jason Stein  12:07  Now, I told you, we're going to roll up our sleeves, and I'm really curious: Right now, if you're listening to this later in time and space, there's huge things going on with the US in politics and a breach of the Congress and Donald Trump is on his way out and a new President-Elect Joe Biden's coming in, and, and is Donald Trump 2e?Dianne Allen  12:35  Um, probably the dark side of a lot of it.Jason Stein  12:39  Okay, and then - Dianne Allen  12:41  It can go awry. See, giftedness can go awry. They did a test of all of the gang member leaders in jail. They're all gifted.Jason Stein  12:49  Okay, that makes sense to me. I would think that the gifted people become leaders and they become leaders of the Mexican Cartel. They become leaders of democracy. They become leaders of technology. They become leaders of everything. So then, if we talk about this, I just want to talk a little bit about the shadow side. So when we look at Donald Trump, in my experience, he is able to create a narrative and have people follow the narrative even if it's a false narrative. And I'm wondering, in the 2e world, are our narcissists 2e often or sociopaths or - Dianne Allen  13:49  Those are two totally separate things. They don't correlate - at all. They don't correlate at all, but they can intertwine and they can be in the same person, but there's no correlation.Jason Stein  14:00  Okay. And so, talk a little bit about why you think Donald Trump is gifted?Dianne Allen  14:13  Well, because when I've watched him before he became president, he, he is very skilled at learning a system and finding all the holes in it. And mastering that, he's skilled at meeting somebody and finding their weak spot that they may not even know they have and exploiting it all over the place. He is a master at creating plausible truth, which means I can tell you something that's not true and tell it to you enough, in enough different ways, where you begin to say, well, maybe it's possible. That's why half - most of the people in the world are going "Well, I don't know what to believe." because it can come off so real. It's also - the screaming and yelling fits are very common in 2e people who are overwhelmed and overstimulated and don't take care of themselves and don't give themselves downtime. Too much, too quick will make any of us lose it. So there's that too. He's also calculating a lot of it. So, he's got more than one issue going on. The problems, as I see them are more mental health related and more undisclosed motive related, that leaks out. And yes, I am, I'm sure he's gifted, because somebody not gifted, could not manipulate and do all the things he's been doing over the years long before he became president.Jason Stein  15:44  I'm just really curious why you think the people around him aren't trying to help him more if he does have some mental health challenges. Is it just because of power?Dianne Allen  16:00  I would say first and foremost, denial, and secondly, fear,Jason Stein  16:05  The fear of what?Dianne Allen  16:07  Reprisal, being harmed, not being heard - because you know, when somebody points something out, he fires them or, or goes after them in some manner. And so, if somebody is afraid for their livelihood, or afraid for their life, or has a high fear level that he instills in them to control them. If they already had that propensity, then they're stuck, because what's one of the parts of high fear? It's freeze. You can't make a decision, can't do anything any different. Plus, there's the denial, and plus, there is cognitive re-ordering of what's going on. So I can think of my way around in a massage situation and say, "Well, it's not that bad." Well, if I tell myself, "It's not that bad enough," I believe it, even if it's not true. And I'm stuck - I'm in the trance.Jason Stein  16:58  I get it. So it's actually creating a different reality, and then living whatever your reality is. My question, this is really an interesting thought. Like, there's a lot of talented and gifted leaders, but then there's people just on the street level, right? And so if I were to have a friend that acted like Donald Trump, but I saw their greatness as well, what can I do as a friend - Dianne Allen  17:28  Point out their greatness. You know, like, I just - in my Someone Gets Me Community, I just did a post for everybody reminding them that they're perfect, whole and complete exactly as they are, they lacked nothing. And so when it's your friend, and they're having a hard time, you listen to them. You understand that that hard craziness is an overwhelm response. And then when it all decompresses, when they're all done losing it, then you say, "You know, what I see? The truth I see about you is you're kind or compassionate," - whatever it is you see, and you start speaking the truth that I see about you is, the truth that I see about you - and you keep saying it so that they can hear it, because it can't unhear you. Mm hmm. Right, so, and you help point out to go down that road, like, go down the road of the light, and educate. I educate a lot on, you know, maybe maybe the fact that you're having a hard time with all this overwhelm and all this anger is because anger comes from pain, and pain, the definition of pain is disconnection. So if you're disconnected in there, it's gonna feel kind of weird. So here's things that we do to get connected. Yeah, there are all kinds of things we can say, as friends to teach and ease somebody into seeing that. They might be struggling, but that doesn't mean it's hopeless.Jason Stein  18:48  Yeah, it's interesting, because I guess I'm a bit of a skeptic that I would think that someone that is 2e, and they're moving into the shadow side and, and if I try to share what I see - my perspective, my truth - that they may feel like their cups already full, like they know it all, and they understand it all. And they can't really receive anything, because they have their own truth.Dianne Allen  19:16  Well, that's why I said, first of all, you let them totally decompress. You don't try to say what you think when they're hyped, when they're overly stimulated, because it won't get in, number one. And number two, when you keep it very simple, this is what I see: there's no argument there. If you keep going and say, "Well, I feel this way" or bla bla bla and all that pontificating. People do that, that doesn't help. You know, like when I've had meltdowns before, I have a really good friend in my life, and she says, I see the truth of your being. Now there's times where I wanted to punch her when she said that, but the truth is, she sees the truth of my being. And so yeah, I might be looking crazy right now and I might be losing my mind because I'm overwhelmed. But at the end of the day, when I finally calm down - because they will calm dow -. Okay, there's, there's a higher truth in here, there's something in here. And that's why, like, all my clients I work with can call me anytime they want to, because the meltdowns usually don't happen 9 to 5, Monday through Friday. Yeah, so if they're having a tough day, or they just need to be brought back down to earth a little bit, then I have a real good skill set at helping to do that. Everybody needs other people in their corner, at least four or five people that can get it, that aren't going to be afraid of the meltdown looking because with high gifts comes in all kinds of ups and all kinds of now,Jason Stein  20:36  I really appreciate what you're saying. Because when I work with people, I noticed that the people that reach out more, do better. Like I don't prompt them to reach out, it's the ones that on their own, that they use the laser call, or they email or text me outside of sessions. They actually do a lot better.Dianne Allen  20:58  You've got to have support.Jason Stein  21:00  And so for those, I'm curious as a learning question for me: for those that, you know, could benefit from more of that? Do you just remind them? Or do you prompt them? How do you bring it up?Dianne Allen  21:13  Sometimes I remind them, and sometimes I use my impish kind of humor. And if if I intuitively go, "You know, I haven't heard from so and so." or "You know, they're probably going through something", or whatever it is, I'll just call them and say, "Hey, what are you doing?"Jason Stein  21:29  Good! So you're not gonna let it ride out. Dianne Allen  21:32  And then they go, "Huh, what?" I go "No, seriously, what are you doing? I was just thinking about you, what are you doing?" You know, or whatever, or ask them what kind of shoes they're wearing, or some question that's a little bit off, but they know it's me. So though, they'll humor me and then then they can have the opening to say something if they want to, or not, or whatever. But I know that it takes two to engage in that and sometimes when somebody is overwhelmed, the ability to reach out at a certain point goes away. So because the person's in freeze, right? They're in danger. So that's why I do a lot of SSP with people and really help get the nervous system to work in their favor.Jason Stein  22:07  Okay, let's bring it street level: what's SSP?Dianne Allen  22:10  SSP is Safe and Sound Protocol. It's a pre-cognitive music intervention that reregulates the entire nervous system. So herbs and vitamins you take get received by your body better. Your emotions are more aligned and calm. If you get stressed, you come back down quicker. All of your organs are affected because a Vagus Nerve is what it works on. So, most 2e people in my world, most people in this day and age could use some nervous system regulation. So I work both with their nervous system and with their belief system. And then, you know, how do you manage all of it? Jason Stein  22:51  Yeah, it's such a weird conversation. Because as you're, as you're speaking, I could see how in some ways the listener might be like, she is just out there. What is she even talking about? And other people are like, you know, it's been proven with science that we are vibrations - there's a vibrational measurement that you can have on the body. So of course, sound waves are going to help heal the body. And our thought process somehow with the Internet has gone awry. Where is it that we can bring people back as renegades? that being a renegade doesn't mean that we're speaking like a ethereal crystal star - Like, no common sense - but really bringing it into the practical. So let me give you an example: I've been watching the vaccine conversation online. Lots of people like "Run out and get your vaccine!", right? Lots of people like, "There's way too many side effects - don't get your vaccine." and it becomes this like, thing. And but if you're pro vaccine, you're doing it because you want to save lives. I think that's the argument, right? Dianne Allen  24:05  I guess.Jason Stein  24:06  But most of those people aren't pro-starvation, where they're spending as much or equal amount of time to helping feed the hungry, which also saves lives. So my mind just like I think people have become stuck in their lands of like, "This makes sense. And I can't, I can't come to your side, because I've already made up my mind." And so what do we do with that?Dianne Allen  24:35  Oh, I love this question. The first thing I do - and I got in a conversation about a similar thing last night -  I made a comment and then the person jumped on the other side and started kind of getting all heated. So when they were all done being all heated, I said, "Well, I have a different view than you and one is there are no sides." And the moment that you go into that dualistic, "Pick a side!", you just cheapen all of life. So, let's get out of the "sides." I didn't mention anything about that other side, because that's not even what I was talking about, right? And so I don't live in the duality of "pick a side," I choose to live in the reality of good stewardship. And if I'm to be a good steward of my mind, my emotions, my body, my connections, all of it, then my question, the higher question is, how am I - am I being a good steward? For some people getting the vaccine might be being a good steward for them, in their world, and in their their life, whatever that looks like. And for others, it might be the opposite, or some variance in the middle. And we're all different. See, people think that everyone sees things the way we see and all the brains think the same. The truth is, no one sees anything exactly the same as anyone else. We have neurodiversity - our neurons are different - and we have different autobiographies and different sensitivities. It's impossible for two people to feel and see and experience anything exactly the same. Not possible. So we have to get out of these goofy, crazy ideas, and say, go within, and be a good steward of your own being, whatever that looks like. I mean, look how long into the pandemic, Jason, it took for them to say vitamins like zinc and vitamin D would help you.Jason Stein  26:27  They're still not saying it. They're still I don't know why there's not like, you know, the Wash Your Hands ads? I don't know why there is an ads like "Take Vitamin D!"Dianne Allen  26:36  Well, I've seen some ads about taking Zinc and vitamin D here.Jason Stein  26:41  And you're in, you're in Florida?Dianne Allen  26:43  I'm in Florida. Not much, a little bit. Finally! It's only been a few weeks. And those of us who are the Renegades are like, well, if we're going to be good stewards of Earth, of our bodies of - of all of this, then a stewardship means taking the highest and best care - not just average. It means like doing the very best we possibly can. So, we make our own decisions, and we get as much information as we can. So sometimes, as a Renegade, I find myself quietly educating, speaking my truth quietly and clearly. And when I got jumped on last night - and I have been jumped on by very many people -They just jumped to the other side and assume I'm for the other side, I said, "Who said that? I didn't say that."Jason Stein  27:30  There is a lot of assumptions being made.Dianne Allen  27:32  And so when I challenge that they back out and go, "Yeah, you're right." I said, "Well, I invite you to listen a little bit more clearly to those people that you're engaging with, because you were wrong." Now, what - does it change their long term behavior? I don't know. I don't, you know, but I want to stay in integrity.Jason Stein  27:51  Well, one other thing, I wanted to talk about integrity. And, and this 2e conversation is really money. Like we the economy just did this very weird thing - partly because of politics, like many places had to lock down. You're one of the people that I know, that had an incredibly good 2020 financially. And so when we're all over the map, and a lot of Wellness Renegades are like, I want to be a Renegade, but I have to make a living. What do you say to them?Dianne Allen  28:28  Yes. Yeah. They're correct. Jason Stein  28:33  And any other words of wisdom there?Dianne Allen  28:37  I am - well, again, I, I'm a Renegade in the sense that I start everything spiritually. So when I have financial things happen - and I have financial things happen - it is true that my 2020 was a banner year. But it was true because I said yes to opportunities that were outside of what I typically do. I'm good at it. And I'm probably the best at what I was doing, that I know of. And it was outside of my typical work. So I am aware that it was a potential anomaly. But that doesn't mean there won't be another anomaly coming. Right? Like, we have to be aware that it's not new, normal flow, whatever that means. So I always say I have a little affirmation, I say, and that is "God is the source of all my supply. Abundance comes to me and always." So, you can replace that with anything you want to, but I see God as the greater order of the universe. And so I say that all the time. Like, I don't know where it's coming from. I have no idea. But what I do do is I say yes to the opportunity, even when it's outside of what I think it should be. Like if somebody calls me says, "Well, I want to work with you, but I don't want any of those programs. Will you do something else?" If it's something that I can do, my answer will be yes. I just accepted a new client that is asking for something outside of what's my typical program, whatever that looks like. And I said yes, because we aligned spiritually and mentally and she's 2e and doesn't know it yet. So, we have to be flexible, we have to be willing to step into really who we are. And what I see a lot of providers doing in this space, is giving way too much power to fear, and way too much power to lack and limitation and excuses that they tell themselves. I freed myself from that trance some time ago, and it still pops in once in a while. But I have enough people that shake me silly when it shows back up. Like, no, that's not it. But we have to be willing to step into it and say, if this is who I am, and this is what I bring to the table, there's more to you than just the one thing you think you do.Jason Stein  30:48  Yeah, you know, I like it. I'm really wondering how we can invite more people into uncomfortability. And uncomfortability doesn't have to be bad. Like, you know, my family and I, we moved from the big city to the small town. We made major moves this past year, and there was some fear, but the rewards, were a thousandfold the fear. And so I just I'm excited of what you're saying that you're just - what I hear in what you're saying is that yes, people want your help, they want support, that you find a way to say yes, in ways that work for you. And that we have to deal with money, we have to start pivoting, that the old economy is probably changing. And we have to start to think of how do we shift and transform our businesses as renegades in a way that works in 2021?Dianne Allen  31:47  Correct and 2021 and moving forward. And one of the things I remind myself and I remind everybody I work with is that love, the vibration of love and the vibration of money are on the same level. So how you love yourself and others, shows how you treat your money. If you're fear based around money, then you most likely are fear based around relationships and the whole idea of love. So there's a lot of internal work to do to elevate above, you know, consciousness-wise to elevate above that fear-based stuff. And then what happens when you do that, when you free yourself from the trance?Opportunity starts showing up, and they're never what you think. I always tell everybody, Jason, whatever you think it's gonna be, that's not it. So don't - I don't care how smart you are, or how genius of a brilliant visionary you are. You can lay it out for me today, and I will guarantee you in 90 days, if you keep saying yes, it's not that. It's something more amazing. But you have to have a starting point that turns you on. Right? It's never what you think. And so I think as Renegades, we, you know, we're good at like saying, okay, we're outside the paradigm of the culture, the big pharma people and all that noise. Well, we got to get outside of our own boxes and realize that the self-imposed box is more damaging, because there's way more going on. And we have way more to bring to the table. And so why do we silo ourselves into "I'm an acupuncturist," or "I'm a chiropractor," or "I only do herbs," or whatever it all is, right? What if we just said "Yes, I know that I bring amazing, powerful healing energy to the world," and then let the universal wisdom show us how to bring it to the table. And it always shows up amazing. It's just never what you think. So when you try to make it be a thing...that's playing cheap.Jason Stein  33:43  I love that. And I've seen you do this. I've seen you lean all the way in into the unknown. I've watched you do that. And so my question for the listener, who is - start like they're just at square one - what's a way to start trusting source or the universe even more? What's one simple way people could do that?Dianne Allen  34:04  Say yes.Jason Stein  34:06  Say yeah?Dianne Allen  34:06  Say yes, and I had that my very first thing I started doing was saying "I get to do -" blah, blah, blah, instead of "I have to do -" blah, blah, blah. Okay, I choose, I choose words that have empowering energy behind them. Like when you just mentioned about teaching people go into the uncomfortable, I don't use the word uncomfortable, because it has energy culturally, that slows people down. So I say use the words "interesting", "curious", "Wow," - like, "Let me check this out!" Now my energy is more receptive. It lands on me better, whatever the opportunities are, right? So I started changing my language set, which then changed my ability to receive.Jason Stein  34:47  Yeah, so it makes you more alive to be curious and interested, rather than being uncomfortable.Dianne Allen  34:54  Exactly. And it might feel uncomfortable, but if I use the word uncomfortable, because of the energy of that word in our culture and the language, we shut down. But if I say, "Wow, this is like really kind of amazing, huh? Check it out." Now I'm diving in deeper. And I might be uncomfortable or not - but that's not what I'm focused on. So it doesn't have the power that it would if I go," Oh my God, this is hard.".Jason Stein  35:19  It is amazing how much words impact. Like, people say that nonverbal communication is really, really important, and I agree with that, but words do have triggers and powers in a way that nonverbal communication doesn't touch. Like you - yeah, go ahead.Dianne Allen  35:37  Words are co-creative. Words have energy behind them. And culturally, words have energy behind them. So there's a lot to it.Jason Stein  35:47  So I want to leave people with some hope, because we're in some very interesting times to get curious about these interesting times. See, I'm taking your information right away and applying it. And one of the things you have as a podcast, right, like your podcast is called, Someone Gets Me? Yes. Dianne Allen  36:11  Where can people find it?At Someone Gets Me on Apple, Spotify, Pandora - every place that you can listen to a podcast, it's under Someone Gets Me. It's on Podbean, they can go to my VisionsApplied.com website, and there's a feed there with the podcast on it. Or they can go to my YouTube channel and watch the videos on Ms. Dianne Allen.Jason Stein  36:32  I've been on your podcast, I've listened to your podcast and you end the podcast by asking people what they would have on their billboard?Dianne Allen  36:41  If there is a billboard that the whole world was gonna see? Yes. What would you put on your billboard?Jason Stein  36:46  And what is your answer?Dianne Allen  36:47  Yes.Jason Stein  36:49  It just says yes?Dianne Allen  36:53  It would say yes, and it would be in Italic and a really cool font with exclamation point and a little heart after it.Jason Stein  37:02  I love it. I think my vibration would raise if I was driving down the freeway and I saw something - I would probably turn around to see what's the dot com? Where's the hashtag? And if it just said yes, exclamation point, it would make me smile. So Ms. Dianne Allen, I appreciate having you here today.Dianne Allen  37:24  Well, thank you, Jason, for having me here. It was it was fun to respond and listen to your questions, not having any idea where we were going in the beginning. It was great.Jason Stein  37:34  Well until next time, everyone, take a moment to find the Renegade in yourself. Bye for now.

#43: People spend way too much time scrutinizing examples of early retirees who just recently FIRE’d and not nearly enough time on early retirees who actually made it through decades of retirement.That’s why there’s a whole cottage industry of blogs and books by recent retirees dispensing advice (and downloadable spreadsheets) on how to save a million bucks, retire to Southeast Asia, and sip mango juice all day and get cheap massages.But there’s nothing to actually scrutinize in these examples because no one really miscalculates their nest egg so badly that they have to go back to work within a few years.We should spend more effort analyzing examples of people who actually successfully STAYED retired for decades. (And I don’t mean folks with $10s of millions.)That’s because the shockingly simple math to get TO early retirement is different from the shockingly un-simple math to get THROUGH early retirement.Yet there are few and far between examples of early retirees who actually made it through decades, weathered all the ups and downs intact, lived a good and fulfilling life, and are still in good physical and financial shape.So you can imagine how excited I was to speak with today’s guests, a senior couple who achieved precisely this.This week, I chat with Billy and Akaisha Kaderli, a husband wife couple who early retired 3 DECADES ago in 1991 and are still going strong. With one full 30-year retirement already behind them and a nest egg that is bigger than ever, Billy and Akaisha have traveled the world across decades, lived a great life, and have tons of stories and advice to share.We discuss:Their varied career path before retirement (French chef, stock broker)Why they decided to retire early long before a FIRE community existedWhy they decided not to tell anyone about their early retirement plansWhy they defined their FIRE number based on only a subset of their expenses (and which expenses those were)What they invested in before there were ETFs, and how big their portfolio was on the day they retiredHow they planned their travels via a multi-year loop over the decades, and how they chose regional “home bases” around the worldWhen they decide to travel together vs. soloHow large their portfolio is now 3 decades laterHow they afforded healthcare over the decades (including emergency surgeries) with no health insurance…and without bankrupting themselvesHow they dealt with downturns and recessions over the decades…including the one time they briefly considered going back to get a j-o-b (and why they decided against it)What they would have done differently if they could do it all over againDoes Billy and Akaisha’s story change your view on what it takes to get to FIRE? What it takes to successfully live a good and full retirement life for decades? Does it influence any choices you might make in your retirement planning plans?

But whether in a salon chair, on a yoga mat, or in a Human Design reading, empowering others to step into their unique inner and outer beauty has always been the golden thread.

Show HighlightsWhy is the water (hydrological) cycle out of balance and the problems in the world that are linked to lack of water?Getting started with water harvesting using passive water harvesting basinsHarvesting water from not only rainwater, but household greywater, and air conditioner condensate to create integrated living systemsHow to simultaneously reduce flooding and solve droughtRain tanks and cisterns are secondary considerations after passive water harvesting earthworksHow harvesting rainwater and increasing plant systems can reverse the excess carbon that is leading to climate change Allowing water harvesting solutions to present themselvesHow rainwater harvesting systems were illegal and are now mandated in Arizona in other locationsAbout Brad LancasterBrad Lancaster is a dynamic teacher, consultant, and designer of regenerative systems that sustainably enhance local resources and our global potential. He is the author of the award-winning, best-selling book series "Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond;" and Brad has just released new, full-color, revised & expanded editions of these books in both print and ebook formats available at deep discount direct from Brad via his website HarvestingRainwater.com. Brad is also a co-founder of Desert Harvesters, which strives to repopulate Tucson's urban core with rain-irrigated indigenous food plants.Brad has taught throughout North America as well as in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Africa, and Australia. His hometown projects have included working with the City of Tucson and other municipalities to legalize, incentivize, and provide guidance on water-harvesting systems, demonstration sites, and policy. He has likewise collaborated with state agencies to promote practices that transform costly local “wastes” into free local resources. Brad's aim is always to boost communities' true health and wealth by using simple overlapping strategies to augment the region's hydrology, ecosystems, and economies—living systems upon which we depend.Brad lives his talk on an oasis-like demonstration site he created and continually improves with his brother's family and neighbors in downtown Tucson, Arizona. On this eighth of an acre and surrounding public right-of-way, they harvest 100,000 gallons of rainwater a year where just 11 inches per year fall from the sky. But it doesn't end there. The potential of that water is then integrated with the simultaneous harvest of sun, wind, shade, and fertility. Brad is motivated in his work by the tens of thousands of people he has helped inspire to do likewise, go further, and continue our collective evolution.LinksBrad's books and website store:Videos of Brad's work and others:Street-Runoff HarvestingGreywater HarvestingSun & Shade HarvestingBrad's Drops in a Bucket blog

What a beautiful conversation this week with flow state master and high performance coach, Kevin Orosz. Kevin embodies a realisation of reality that he has developed through studying philosophy in the west and being guided by ancient mystics in the east. He has combined these two world view into a understandable and approachable structure in order to help people around the world to get to their truth.  The biggest take out from this conversation is that "The solution to everything is listen to you intuition". Listen to the episode to find out how. Kevin's BioAfter a post-graduation spiritual awakening, Kevin left his home tribe of Texas in 2012. Instead of pursuing his PhD in Psychology, he was called to Northern California to study the human mind and ancient traditions of eastern philosophy. Soon after, his travels led him on an epic quest throughout Southeast Asia, Thailand, India, and Nepal. While there, he studied under mystics in the B. K. S. Iyengar Yoga style and the Osho meditation tradition.As a result of his learnings, he realized a synergy between Eastern & Western mysticism relating to his own personal myth. On his return to the states, he immediately aligned forces with like-hearted comrades Ryan Bowditch & Jordan Bowditch. In LA, they formed the Mystic Misfit: a lifestyle brand to empower men & women to activate their inner divinity.Kevin believes powerful habits create our reality. By investing in healthy rituals, optimal lifestyle, and the human body as the gateways to our true potential for healing. Using yogic postures, breathing patterns, and nutritional science, he helps clients transform and craft their lives. Through language, radical honesty, authentic relating, and non-violent communication, Kevin assists his clients with uncovering what is pioneering  to live through them. By exploring their unique story, Kevin helps clients transition across the threshold to the life they desire.What we cover in the interview:Top hacks, techniques and mindsets to get into flow stateAncient traditions of Eastern philosophySynergies between Eastern and Western MysticismFrom a Catholic Texan to global warrior peak performance coachRelationship rock bottomJung relating to rock bottom's Heroes journeyMasculine and feminine balanceWhy men have to trust themselvesHow women's cycles are in line with natureHow money does not bring on more happiness over $60k per yearHow powerful habits create our realityIntuitionMeditation and writingVisualization, movement and tantra Links:(R)Evolution PodcastFlow State Mastery Coursekevinorosz.comInstagramFacebookYouTubeNadine Lee Tantric Alchemy

https://youtu.be/37i4OUyqF-s?list=UUAbBBfmYJMUuNaRIjXlqtoA I Samuel 13:16-23 Weapons For War Do you know why America wins wars? We have the best weapons and we use them! Israel is in a huge fight with the philistines. Saul has shown his disobedience, and now he’s showing his lack of leadership. Israel is retreating from the philistines instead of fighting them. They’ve lost the ability to forge their own weapons, so they go to the Philistines to sharpen their tools, so when the day of battle came, no weapons were found with the IsraelitesNow they can’t fight the enemy because the have lost the ability to defend themselvesHow do you end up going into battle without any weapons?Now- Today we are not Israel going up against the philistines. But we are the Church and we do have modern day enemies that come against the church and its people- This is YOUR enemy False teaching is your enemy 2 Peter 2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.If you can get the church or a person in the church to believe something not true about itself, you can destroy it from the inside out. – False doctrine, false agape love, heresy, etcMany Christians lack basic knowledge of God’s word and listen to false teachers that make them feel good and allow heretical teaching in their heads that lead them astray Worldliness is your enemy 1 John 2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.There are many people who have taken up residence in the church who love the world more than they love God or his church. Their priorities are of this world, their comfort and their life on this planetThey do not prioritize the things of God and mock those who do- they preach love of the worldMixing love of the world with love of God produces fleshly Christians who don’t love God above all. Worldliness? Living like the devil at work ‘oh, they go to your church’? Formalism is your enemy Romans 2:28-29 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; 29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.Same is true for a Christian- you can act like a Christian on the outside. Do the Christian thing- carry your bible, wear your cross, post scripture on Facebook- but not really converted or repented. – YOU MUST BE CONVERTED OR NONE OF IT MATTERS- (I’m on TDY- Not in love)Wolves among the sheep- acting like they are saved when they are NOT Diversion is your enemy Mark 16:15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.These orders from Jesus are plain and clear. We are to preach the Gospel and make disciples. According to Matthew 28, but many churches and Christian organizations lose their way Works are good, but without a message, its not what we were called to doMany Christian organizations in America start out with the purpose of preaching the Gospel, and eventually, they just end up doing good works and leaving out the GospelMany churches fall into this trap as well and Satan loves it- a church without the Gospel Coldness is your enemy- Rev 2:4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.Coldness produces losing the love of the Savior and allowing sin within the assembly with no repentanceThis coldness is a silent deadly enemy that will destroy the witness and power of the church.Serving God becomes a chore and not a joy. dutiful and not beautiful. Who wants cold spouse? Division is your enemy Romans 16:17-18 Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned,
