Podcasts about visualise

Can you believe 2026 is just around the corner? Today I’m diving into the one thing that changes everything: mindset. From building my dream life through all the highs and lows - even the reinventions - one truth keeps showing up: the life you’re living 12 months from now will mirror the thoughts you choose and the beliefs you practice daily. You’re in the driver’s seat. No permission slips required. In this bite-sized, practical episode, I share three simple shifts you can start today: Begin with gratitude: write three things you’re grateful for each morning to open your heart to abundance. Catch your self-talk: when you hear “I can’t” or “I’m not ready,” pause and reframe - “I’m learning. I’m proud I showed up. Progress over perfection.” Visualise your best self: it’s December 2026… you’ve honoured your goals, upgraded habits, and you feel proud, aligned and joyful. Borrow that version’s beliefs today. If you’d love guidance and a likeminded community, join me inside Dream Life Coaching - we’re running a special Mindset Workshop in November to set you up for an incredible 2026, then December is for dreaming big and January for planning it all out.

Trust isn't a “soft” metric—it's the conversion engine. Buyers don't buy products first; they buy us, then the solution arrives as part of the package. Below is a GEO-optimised, answer-first version of the core human-relations principles leaders and sales pros can use today.  How do top salespeople build trust fast in 2025? Start by listening like a pro and making the conversation about them, not you. When trust is low, buyers won't move—even if your proposal looks perfect on paper. The fastest pattern across B2B in Japan, the US, and Europe is empathetic listening that surfaces goals, constraints, and internal politics. Post-pandemic norms (hybrid work, async decisions) mean you must read what's said and what's unsaid: tone, pauses, body language on Zoom, and email subtext. In enterprise sales, this shifts you from “pitching” to “diagnosing.” You become the buyer's trusted business advisor—especially in consensus-driven cultures like Japan where ringi and nemawashi favour rapport and patience over pressure. Do this and high-stakes deals stop stalling because stakeholders finally feel safe to share the real blockers.  Do now: Open with one agenda question—“What outcome matters most by [date]?”—then listen without interrupting for 90 seconds. What questions reliably open buyers up? Use simple, human prompts that invite stories. Who have they worked for? What was it like? Where's the office? When did they start? Why choose this company? What do they like most? These “Who/What/Where/When/Why/How” prompts turn small talk into signal, revealing priorities (speed vs. safety), risk appetite, and decision cadence. Across SMEs, startups, and multinationals, these prompts work because they're culturally neutral, non-intrusive, and buyer-centred. In APAC, they respect hierarchy; in the US, they feel pragmatic; in Europe, they invite thoughtful context. The goal isn't to interrogate—it's to let people talk about themselves while you capture needs, metrics, and names of influencers you'll later engage.  Do now: Prepare six openers on a card; ask two, go deep on one, and mirror key phrases back. How do I remember personal details without being awkward? Use the “Nameplate → House → Family → Briefcase → Airplane → Tennis Racquet → Newspaper” memory chain. Visualise a giant nameplate smashing into a bright house; inside, a baby with a briefcase pulls out an old plane; its propellers are tennis racquets threaded with rolled newspapers. Each hook cues a safe, human topic: name, home, family, work, travel, hobbies, and industry news. This light mnemonic keeps first meetings natural across cultures. In Japan, it supports relationship-first norms (meishi exchange, hometown ties). In the US/EU, it avoids prying while still finding common ground (sports, routes, recent sector headlines). Use tact and sequence flexibly; skip topics if they feel private. The point is to remember them so follow-ups feel personal, not transactional.  Do now: Before calls, jot the seven cues; after calls, log one fact per cue in your CRM. What if I don't know the buyer's interests yet? Keep asking—then mirror their language and frame benefits in their terms. Early on, many buyers withhold interests until they decide you're trustworthy. That's normal. Persist with respectful questions, then translate features into “so-whats” they already value: uptime for CTOs, cycle-time for COOs, compliance for CFOs, psychological safety for HR. As of 2025, complex deals involve multi-threading (RevOps, Legal, IT, Security). Tailor each touch: startup CTOs want velocity and unit economics; enterprise VPs want risk mitigation and stakeholder alignment; Japanese heads of division may prioritise harmony and precedent. The win is relevance—your proposal reads like their strategy memo, not your brochure.  Do now: After each meeting, write one line: “They care most about ___ because ___.” Lead with that next time. How do I make someone feel important—without manipulation? Spot real wins and praise them sincerely and specifically. Most professionals get little recognition. When you catch people doing something right—clear brief, crisp data, fast feedback—name it. Never over-flatter; buyers detect tactics instantly. The goal is dignity, not drama. Practical example: “Your timeline reduced rework across Legal and IT—that saved us both weeks.” In Japan, sincere appreciation that acknowledges team effort (not just the individual) lands better; in the US, direct credit energises champions. Across sectors (SaaS, manufacturing, services), this fosters reciprocity and deepens trust far faster than discounts ever can.  Do now: In your next email, add one honest, specific thank-you sentence linked to a business outcome. What should leaders systemise so this sticks? Bake these principles into playbooks, onboarding, and CRM hygiene. Codify the seven memory cues, the open-question matrix, and a “buyer interest” field in CRM. Coach for silence (count to three before replying). Review call snippets for interrupt rate and question balance. Reward teams for discovery quality, not just revenue. Executives at firms from startups to conglomerates can run fortnightly “deal trust reviews”: is the sponsor heard, interests mapped, and recognition given? In Japan, align with nemawashi—map stakeholders and pre-wire decisions. In the US/EU, pressure-test value hypotheses with RevOps and Finance. Consistency beats charisma.  Do now: Add three fields to your CRM today—Interests, Stakeholders, Recognition Given—and make them required. Conclusion When you listen deeply, speak in the buyer's interests, and recognise people sincerely, you stop selling and start being chosen. Make this your firm's operating system and watch cycle times shorten and referrals grow.  FAQs Isn't this just “be nice” advice? No—these behaviours reduce friction, surface risks early, and accelerate consensus, which shortens sales cycles.  Do these tips work in Japan? Yes—especially the memory chain and sincere group-focused recognition, which fit relationship-first norms.  How do I measure progress? Track interrupt rate, number of stakeholder interests captured, and instances of specific recognition logged in CRM. Next Steps Add the seven-cue mnemonic and open-question set to your onboarding. Require “Interests” and “Recognition Given” fields in every opportunity. Coach teams to wait three beats before replying on calls.

Dans cet épisode, j'ai la joie de recevoir Sixtine, la fondatrice de Débat Couvert. Son parcours est marqué par un grand tsunami. Elle a quitté une vie bien rangée pour suivre son besoin d'authenticité et de profondeur dans les relations. Elle me raconte comment une expérience de coliving au Moulin Inattendu a ouvert un nouveau chemin en elle et nourri son envie de créer des espaces où les gens osent se rencontrer vraiment, au-delà des convenances.À travers ses dîners-débats, Sixtine invite à explorer des sujets aussi variés que la philosophie, la sociologie, ou encore nos modèles de société et de couple. On parle ensemble d'intuition, de discernement, de communication non violente, mais aussi de ce que ça veut dire de déconstruire certaines normes pour vivre plus près de soi.Avec beaucoup de sincérité, elle partage ses réflexions sur des thèmes parfois sensibles : le polyamour, la compersion, la parentalité consciente, ou encore la manière dont on peut réinvestir le couple différemment. Elle raconte aussi ce fragile équilibre entre vie collective et solitude choisie, et l'importance de savoir se déconnecter dans un monde qui va vite, pour mieux se retrouver.C'est une conversation vivante et profonde, qui m'a donné envie de ralentir et de questionner mes propres habitudes. J'espère qu'elle éveillera aussi chez vous ce désir d'explorer d'autres façons de vivre et de se relier, toujours avec authenticité et fidélité à ses valeurs.Timeline00:00:00 - 00:05:45 : Introduction et présentation de Sixtine00:05:46 - 00:14:30 : Le concept de Débat Couvert et son origine00:14:31 - 00:24:15 : Parcours personnel et quête de sens de Sixtine00:24:16 - 00:33:50 : L'expérience du co-living et la découverte de soi00:33:51 - 00:43:20 : L'évolution professionnelle et la création d'une communauté00:43:21 - 00:52:45 : L'impact des débats sur le développement personnel00:52:46 - 01:00:10 : L'importance de l'intuition et du discernement01:00:11 - 01:00:03 : Conclusion et réflexions sur le couple et la libertéHébergé par Audiomeans.

Dans le podcast d'aujourd'hui, j'ai la chance de vous faire découvrir Gabriel Ringlet, un prêtre belge atypique et le fondateur de l'École des Rites. Gabriel nous emmène dans un voyage fascinant à travers le monde des rituels et des célébrations. Son parcours n'est pas commun. Il est allé de l'aumônerie hospitalière au journalisme, en passant par l'enseignement universitaire. Ces diverses expériences l'ont amené à développer une approche singulière des rites, qui va bien au-delà des frontières religieuses traditionnelles.Pour Gabriel, je peux vous dire que les rites sont essentiels à l'humanité. Ils sont ce pont entre le profane et le sacré. Et il est vraiment convaincu qu'il est important de renouveler les célébrations pour qu'elles répondent aux besoins de notre époque, que ce soit pour un mariage, un baptême, ou même des funérailles. Vous allez entendre dans cet épisode des anecdotes qui vous toucheront, comme cette histoire d'un Noël pas comme les autres mêlant théâtre et migration, ou bien ce baptême collectif. Vous verrez, ces récits montrent à quel point l'art et la spiritualité peuvent fusionner pour donner naissance à des moments de grande signification.Et il y a un autre aspect qui me tient à cœur. Sa réalisation phare, l'École des Rites, qui incarne cette vision en formant de nouveaux célébrants venus de tous horizons. Gabriel insiste sur l'importance d'être vraiment "habité" quand on célèbre. C'est une idée qui résonne particulièrement en moi. Cette connexion profonde ne peut pas être truquée, elle doit naître d'une vraie présence, envers soi, envers les autres et envers l'instant présent.Il y a aussi, dans notre échange, sa réflexion sur la mort et sur l'accompagnement des personnes en fin de vie, une réflexion qui m'a particulièrement touchée. Gabriel nous rappelle qu'il faut parler de la mort "tant qu'il fait beau", pour mieux préparer les enfants, et les adultes aussi, à cette réalité inévitable de la vie.Au final, ce que Gabriel nous propose, c'est de repenser notre relation aux rites. Pas comme de vieilles traditions figées, mais comme des moments de vie, de connexion, où l'on peut trouver du sens et vivre une transformation. Moi, ce message m'a beaucoup encouragée. Je vous invite à l'écouter, à voir comment les rituels peuvent enrichir votre vie, quelle que soit votre croyance ou votre parcours. Alors, si vous voulez explorer cet univers des rituels avec moi et Gabriel, je vous attends dans cet épisode. Vous verrez, ce voyage en vaut la peine!Timeline00:00:00 - 00:07:15 : Présentation de Gabriel Ringlet et de son parcours00:07:16 - 00:14:30 : Définition et importance du rite dans la société moderne00:14:31 - 00:22:45 : L'École des Rites : une nouvelle approche de la célébration00:22:46 - 00:31:00 : Le rôle du célébrant et l'importance d'être "habité"00:31:01 - 00:39:15 : L'art et le sacré dans les célébrations contemporaines00:39:16 - 00:47:30 : Réinventer les célébrations traditionnelles : l'exemple de Noël00:47:31 - 01:08:08 : Conclusion et réflexions sur l'avenir des ritesHébergé par Audiomeans.

Son cheminement, passant par des expériences variées en tant que freelance, directrice de communication et auteure, illustre parfaitement les défis auxquels font face de nombreux jeunes professionnels aujourd'hui.Chloé aborde avec franchise les thèmes de la réorientation professionnelle, de la quête de sens et de l'importance de l'intuition dans nos choix de vie. Elle évoque sa typologie des personnes en réorientation, allant des "butineurs" aux "passionnés", offrant ainsi un éclairage précieux sur les motivations qui poussent au changement. Son approche nuancée de la spiritualité et de l'écologie, inspirée notamment par sa rencontre avec Pablo Servigne, apporte une dimension supplémentaire à la réflexion.L'évolution de sa perspective sur le succès et l'épanouissement personnel est particulièrement frappante.

Il invite chacun à réfléchir sur son propre parcours et à oser embrasser sa "bizarrerie" comme source de richesse personnelle et collective.

Dans cet épisode, je reçois Athénaïs. Elle a d'abord été avocate avant de suivre un chemin très différent : celui qui l'a menée à fonder Akasha Society et à devenir une figure du mouvement sex-positif. Son parcours est celui d'une jeune femme curieuse, sexuellement active, qui a transformé cette curiosité en une véritable raison d'être : créer des espaces d'exploration, de liberté et de respect autour de la sexualité.Avec elle, on parle sans détour de ce que signifie vraiment la sexualité positive : le consentement, les relations ouvertes, le BDSM… mais aussi la place essentielle de l'éducation et de la communication dans nos vies intimes. Athénaïs raconte comment elle a vu les tabous se fissurer pour laisser émerger une approche plus inclusive, plus consciente, où chacun peut trouver sa place.Elle nous entraîne aussi dans les coulisses de son ikigaï : cette passion qui l'a poussée à bâtir une communauté où l'on peut explorer en sécurité, loin des clichés des milieux libertins traditionnels. Ensemble, on aborde des sujets concrets comme la santé sexuelle, la prévention des IST, l'importance de se connaître soi-même et de parler ouvertement de ses désirs comme de ses limites.Athénaïs ne se contente pas de théoriser, elle partage des pistes, des conseils pratiques, des ressources pour celles et ceux qui ont envie d'avancer sur leur propre chemin, que ce soit en cherchant de l'information, en osant nommer ce qu'ils ressentent ou même en participant à des ateliers.C'est une conversation qui invite à se questionner, à regarder autrement sa relation à la sexualité, et peut-être à l'envisager comme une source d'épanouissement et de liberté intérieure.Timeline00:00:00 - 00:05:23 : Introduction et présentation d'Athénaïs00:05:24 - 00:12:37 : Qu'est-ce que le mouvement sexe positif ?00:12:38 - 00:19:52 : Le consentement et l'éducation sexuelle00:19:53 - 00:26:08 : Parcours personnel d'Athénaïs et création d'Akasha Society00:26:09 - 00:32:24 : Les différentes communautés et pratiques sexuelles00:32:25 - 00:38:40 : L'importance de s'intéresser à sa vie sexuelle00:38:41 - 00:44:56 : Conseils pour explorer sa sexualité de manière saine00:44:57 - 00:49:39 : Conclusion et perspectives futures d'Akasha SocietyHébergé par Audiomeans.

Dans ce nouvel épisode du podcast 108 milliards , Benjamin Le Tarnec nous emmène dans un voyage introspectif à travers son parcours personnel et professionnel, explorant les thèmes de la coopération, de l'acceptation de soi et de la quête de sens. Issu d'un milieu privilégié parisien, Benjamin partage comment sa formation en école de commerce l'a conduit à une prise de conscience profonde lors d'un stage chez Total, le poussant à explorer de nouveaux horizons. Son cheminement l'a mené des Philippines à la création d'un écolieu dans les Cévennes, en passant par des expériences dans l'agriculture urbaine et la lutte contre le gaspillage alimentaire.La découverte de la formation en coopération a marqué un tournant décisif dans sa vie, lui offrant des outils pour mieux comprendre ses émotions et interagir avec les autres. Benjamin souligne l'importance de l'altérité et de l'acceptation de soi dans ce processus, mettant en lumière les défis rencontrés pour concilier son nouveau mode de pensée avec son environnement d'origine. Il aborde la notion de "posture apprenante de coopération", encourageant une approche basée sur l'écoute et l'empathie dans les relations interpersonnelles.Cet épisode explore également des concepts clés tels que la souveraineté personnelle, l'importance de prendre du temps pour soi, et la gestion des dialogues intérieurs négatifs. Benjamin partage ses réflexions sur la cyclicité de la vie et l'importance d'accepter les périodes de repos et d'intégration, remettant en question la logique productiviste dominante.En conclusion, cet épisode nous invite à réfléchir sur notre propre parcours, à embrasser nos différentes facettes et à cultiver une approche plus coopérative et bienveillante envers nous-mêmes et les autres. Une conversation inspirante qui nous encourage à trouver notre place dans le monde tout en restant ouverts à l'apprentissage continu et à la croissance personnelle.Timeline00:03:46 - 00:09:30 : La quête perpétuelle de sa place dans la vie00:09:31 - 00:15:20 : Parcours professionnel et découverte de la coopération00:15:21 - 00:21:15 : L'importance de l'altérité et de la diversité des expériences00:21:16 - 00:27:40 : La formation en facilitation et coopération00:27:41 - 00:33:55 : L'impact des émotions et l'apprentissage de l'écoute de soi00:33:56 - 00:40:10 : La confrontation avec son passé et la reconnexion00:40:11 - 00:46:25 : L'évolution personnelle et la gestion des dialogues intérieurs00:46:26 - 00:52:40 : L'importance du temps d'intégration et de repos00:52:41 - 00:58:55 : La métaphore des émotions et l'écoute de ses besoins00:58:56 - 01:04:29 : Conclusion et ressources pour en savoir plusHébergé par Audiomeans.

Dans cet épisode, je vous emmène dans les coulisses de 108 Milliards. Je vous raconte comment est née cette méthode de coaching, que j'ai créée en m'appuyant sur les neurosciences et sur mon propre parcours. En alliant écriture, visualisation et psychologie comportementale, j'ai voulu proposer une approche concrète et profondément transformatrice, qui a rapidement trouvé écho auprès d'une clientèle exigeante.Puis est arrivé Raphaël, et ce fut un vrai tournant. Ensemble, nous avons rêvé d'une vision audacieuse : bâtir une “maison ouverte” pour les coachs partageant nos valeurs. Concrètement, cela signifie former d'autres coachs à notre méthode, construire une communauté vivante et offrir un accompagnement business solide pour que chacun puisse réussir à sa manière.Je vous parle aussi sans filtre des défis que nous avons traversés : la gestion de l'ego, le courage de sortir de sa zone de confort, et même ma propre réticence à animer des formations de groupe… que j'ai finalement transformée en une véritable passion.Au cœur de cette aventure, il y a un équilibre subtil entre ambition entrepreneuriale et développement personnel. Pour nous, il est essentiel de créer des fondations solides avant de s'ouvrir à de nouveaux horizons, tout en restant attentif aux opportunités qui se présentent.Et pour la suite ?

Dans cet épisode, Serge Alleyne, entrepreneur chevronné et pionnier de la longévité, nous emmène dans un voyage à la croisée de la science et de la spiritualité. Parti d'un parcours classique d'entrepreneur tech, Serge a vu sa vie basculer suite à une blessure qui l'a poussé à explorer en profondeur les secrets de la santé et de la vitalité. Son approche de la longévité, ancrée dans des pratiques comme le jeûne intermittent et l'exposition au froid, s'est progressivement enrichie d'une dimension spirituelle inattendue.L'histoire de Serge prend un tournant surprenant lorsque sa femme développe des capacités de médium, ouvrant la porte à des expériences inexpliquées et à une remise en question de sa vision du monde. À travers des anecdotes saisissantes, comme la communication avec son père décédé, Serge nous invite à considérer l'existence d'une réalité au-delà du visible, où l'énergie et les vibrations jouent un rôle central.L'épisode tisse habilement des liens entre la santé physique, la longévité et la dimension spirituelle de l'existence. Serge explore des concepts fascinants tels que le fonctionnement des mitochondries, l'importance de l'eau "vivante", et la façon dont nos émotions et traumas peuvent se cristalliser dans notre corps, affectant notre santé à long terme.Ce qui ressort de cette conversation, c'est une vision holistique de la vie où corps, esprit et âme sont intrinsèquement liés. Serge nous encourage à rester ouverts d'esprit, à explorer au-delà de nos perceptions habituelles, et à considérer la spiritualité non pas comme opposée à la science, mais comme une dimension complémentaire de notre existence.Lien vers la fameuse matrice de Serge (minute 18)Timeline00:00:00 - 00:12:45 : Le parcours de Serge vers la longévité00:12:46 - 00:21:30 : L'importance des mitochondries pour notre santé00:21:31 - 00:30:18 : Les bienfaits du jeûne intermittent00:30:19 - 00:41:05 : L'eau : un élément crucial pour notre bien-être00:41:06 - 00:52:40 : L'ouverture de Serge à la spiritualité00:52:41 - 01:00:22 : Les expériences paranormales de Serge et sa femme01:00:23 - 01:05:48 : Le rôle des médiums et la communication avec les défunts01:05:49 - 01:06:22 : Ressources complémentairesHébergé par Audiomeans.

The Secret History of Gold comes out this week. Here for your viewing pleasure is a fim about gold based on the first chapter.“Gold will be slave or master”HoraceIn 2021, a metal detectorist with the eyebrow-raising name of Ole Ginnerup Schytz dug up a hoard of Viking gold in a field in Denmark. The gold was just as it was when it was buried 1,500 years before, if a little dirtier. The same goes for the jewellery unearthed at the Varna Necropolis in Bulgaria in 1972. The beads, bracelets, rings and necklaces are as good as when they were buried 6,700 years ago.In the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, there is a golden tooth bridge — a gold wire used to bind teeth and dental implants — made over 4,000 years ago. It could go in your mouth today.No other substance is as long-lasting as gold — not diamonds, not tungsten carbide, not boron nitride. Gold does not corrode; it does not tarnish or decay; it does not break down over time. This sets it apart from every other substance. Iron rusts, wood rots, silver tarnishes. Gold never changes. Left alone, it stays itself. And it never loses its shine — how about that?Despite its permanence, you can shape this enormously ductile metal into pretty much anything. An ounce of gold can be stretched into a wire 50 miles long or plate a copper wire 1,000 miles long. It can be beaten into a leaf just one atom thick. Yet there is one thing you cannot do and that is destroy it. Life may be temporary, but gold is permanent. It really is forever.This means that all the gold that has ever been mined, estimated to be 216,000 tonnes, still exists somewhere. Put together it would fit into a cube with 22-metre sides. Visualise a square building seven storeys high — and that would be all the gold ever.With some effort, you can dissolve gold in certain chemical solutions, alloy it with other metals, or even vaporise it. But the gold will always be there. It is theoretically possible to destroy gold through nuclear reactions and other such extreme methods, but in practical terms, gold is indestructible. It is the closest thing we have on earth to immortality.Perhaps that is why almost every ancient culture we know of associated gold with the eternal. The Egyptians believed the flesh of gods was made of gold, and that it gave you safe passage into the afterlife. In Greek myth, the Golden Apples of the Hesperides, which Hercules was sent to retrieve, conferred immortality on whoever ate them. The South Americans saw gold as the link between humanity and the cosmos. They were not far wrong.Gold was present in the dust that formed the solar system. It sits in the earth's crust today, just as it did when our planet was formed some 4.6 billion years ago. That little bit of gold you may be wearing on your finger or around your neck is actually older than the earth itself. In fact, it is older than the solar system. To touch gold is as close as you will ever come to touching eternity.And yet the world's most famous investor is not impressed.‘It gets dug out of the ground in Africa, or some place,' said Warren Buffett. ‘Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again and pay people to stand around guarding it. It has no utility. Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head.'He's right. Gold does nothing. It does not even pay a yield. It just sits there inert. We use other metals to construct things, cut things or conduct things, but gold's industrial uses are minimal. It is a good conductor of electricity, but copper and silver are better and cheaper. It has some use in dentistry, medical applications and nanotechnology. It is finding more and more use in outer space — back whence it came — where it is used to coat spacecraft, astronauts' visors and heat shields. But, in the grand scheme of things, these uses are paltry.Gold's only purpose is to store and display prosperity. It is dense and tangible wealth: pure money.Though you may not realise it, we still use gold as money today. Not so much as a medium to exchange value but store it.In 1970, about 27 per cent of all the gold in the world was in the form of gold coinage and central bank or government reserves. Today, even with the gold standard long since dead, the percentage is about the same.The most powerful nation on earth, the United States, keeps 70 per cent of its foreign exchange holdings in gold. Its great rival, China, is both the world's largest producer and the world's largest importer. It has built up reserves that, as we shall discover, are likely as great as the USA's. If you buying gold or silver coins to protect yourself in these “interesting times” - and I urge you to - as always I recommend The Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.Ordinary people and institutions the world over use gold to store wealth. Across myriad cultures gold is gifted at landmark life events — births and weddings — because of its intrinsic value.In fact, gold's purchasing power has increased over the millennia, as human beings have grown more productive. The same ounce of gold said by economic historians to have bought King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon 350 loaves of bread could buy you more than 1,000 loaves today. The same gold dinar (roughly 1/7 oz) that, in the time of the Koran in the seventh century, bought you a lamb would buy you three lambs today. Those same four or five aurei (1 oz) which bought you a fine linen tunic in ancient Rome would buy you considerably more clothing today.In 1972, 0.07 ounces of gold would buy you a barrel of oil. Here we are in 2024 and a barrel of oil costs 0.02 ounces of gold — it's significantly cheaper than it was fifty years ago.House prices, too, if you measure them in gold, have stayed constant. It is only when they are measured in fiat currency that they have appreciated so relentlessly (and destructively).In other words, an ounce of gold buys you as much, and sometimes more, food, clothing, energy and shelter as it did ten years ago, a hundred years ago or even thousands of years ago. As gold lasts, so does its purchasing power. You cannot say the same about modern national currencies.Rare and expensive to mine, the supply of gold is constrained. This is in stark contrast to modern money — electronic, debt-based fiat money to give it its full name — the supply of which multiplies every year as governments spend and borrowing balloons.As if by Natural Law, gold supply has increased at the same rate as the global population — roughly 2 per cent per annum. The population of the world has slightly more than doubled since 1850. So has gold supply. The correlation has held for centuries, except for one fifty-year period during the gold rushes of the late nineteenth century, when gold supply per capita increased.Gold has the added attraction of being beautiful. It shines and glistens and sparkles. It captivates and allures. The word ‘gold' derives from the Sanskrit ‘jval', meaning ‘to shine'. That's why we use it as jewellery — to show off our wealth and success, as well as to store it. Indeed, in nomadic prehistory, and still in parts of the world today, carrying your wealth on your person as jewellery was the safest way to keep it.The universe has given us this captivatingly beautiful, dense, inert, malleable, scarce, useless and permanent substance whose only use is to be money. To quote historian Peter Bernstein, ‘nothing is as useless and useful all at the same time'.But after thousands of years of gold being official money, in the early twentieth century there was a seismic shift. Neither the British, German nor French government had enough gold to pay for the First World War. They abandoned gold backing to print the money they needed. In the inter-war years, nations briefly attempted a return to gold standards, but they failed. The two prevailing monetary theories clashed: gold-backed versus state-issued currency. Gold standard advocates, such as Montagu Norman, Governor of the Bank of England, considered gold to be one of the key pillars of a free society along with property rights and habeas corpus. ‘We have gold because we cannot trust governments,' said President Herbert Hoover in 1933. This was a sentiment echoed by one of the founders of the London School of Economics, George Bernard Shaw — to whom I am grateful for demonstrating that it is possible to have a career as both a comedian and a financial writer. ‘You have to choose (as a voter),' he said, ‘between trusting to the natural stability of gold and the natural stability of the honesty and intelligence of the members of the Government… I advise you, as long as the Capitalist system lasts, to vote for gold.'On the other hand, many, such as economist John Maynard Keynes, advocated the idea of fiat currency to give government greater control over the economy and the ability to manipulate the money supply. Keynes put fixation with gold in the Freudian realms of sex and religion. The gold standard, he famously said after the First World War — and rightly, as it turned out — was ‘already a barbarous relic'. Freud himself related fascination with gold to the erotic fantasies and interests of early childhood.Needless to say, Keynes and fiat money prevailed. By the end of the 1930s, most of Europe had left the gold standard. The US followed, but not completely until 1971, in order to meet the ballooning costs of its welfare system and its war in Vietnam.But compare both gold's universality (everyone everywhere knows gold has value) and its purchasing power to national currencies and you have to wonder why we don't use it officially today. There is a very good reason: power.Sticking to the discipline of the gold standard means governments can't just create money or run deficits to the same extent. Instead, they have to rein in their spending, which they are not prepared to do, especially in the twenty-first century, when they make so many promises to win elections. Balanced books, let alone independent money, have become an impossibility. If you seek an answer as to why the state has grown so large in the West, look no further than our system of money. When one body in a society has the power to create money at no cost to itself, it is inevitable that that body will grow disproportionately large. So it is in the twenty-first century, where state spending in many social democracies is now not far off 50 per cent of GDP, sometimes higher.Many arguments about gold will quickly slide into a political argument about the role of government. It is a deeply political metal. Those who favour gold tend to favour small government, free markets and individual responsibility. I count myself in that camp. Those who dismiss it tend to favour large government and state planning.I have argued many times that money is the blood of a society. It must be healthy. So much starts with money: values, morals, behaviour, ambitions, manners, even family size. Money must be sound and true. At the moment it is neither. Gold, however, is both. ‘Because gold is honest money it is disliked by dishonest men,' said former Republican Congressman Ron Paul. As Dorothy is advised in The Wizard of Oz (which was, as we shall discover, part allegory), maybe the time has come to once again ‘follow the yellow brick road'.On the other hand, maybe the twilight of gold has arrived, as Niall Ferguson argued in his history of debt and money, The Cash Nexus. Gold's future, he said, is ‘mainly as jewellery' or ‘in parts of the world with primitive or unstable monetary and financial systems'. Gold may have been money for 5,000 years, or even 10,000 years, but so was the horse a means of transport, and then along came the motor car.A history of gold is inevitably a history of money, but it is also a history of greed, obsession and ambition. Gold is beautiful. Gold is compelling. It is wealth in its purest, most distilled form. ‘Gold is a child of Zeus,' runs the ancient Greek lyric. ‘Neither moth nor rust devoureth it; but the mind of man is devoured by this supreme possession.' Perhaps that's why Thomas Edison said gold was ‘an invention of Satan'. Wealth, and all the emotions that come with it, can do strange things to people.Gold has led people to do the most brilliant, the most brave, the most inventive, the most innovative and the most terrible things. ‘More men have been knocked off balance by gold than by love,' runs the saying, usually attributed to Benjamin Disraeli. Where gold is concerned, emotion, not logic, prevails. Even in today's markets it is a speculative asset whose price is driven by greed and fear, not by fundamental production numbers.Its gleam has drawn man across oceans, across continents and into the unknown. It lured Jason and the Argonauts, Alexander the Great, numerous Caesars, da Gama, Cortés, Pizarro and Raleigh. Brilliant new civilisations have emerged as a result of the quest for gold, yet so have slavery, war, deceit, death and devastation. Describing the gold mines of ancient Egypt, the historian Diodorus Siculus wrote, ‘there is absolutely no consideration nor relaxation for sick or maimed, for aged man or weak woman. All are forced to labour at their tasks until they die, worn out by misery amid their toil.' His description could apply to many an illegal mine in Africa today.The English critic John Ruskin told a story of a man who boarded a ship with all his money: a bag of gold coins. Several days into the voyage a terrible storm blew up. ‘Abandon ship!' came the cry. The man strapped his bag around his waist and jumped overboard, only to sink to the bottom of the sea. ‘Now,' asked Ruskin, ‘as he was sinking — had he the gold? Or had the gold him?'As the Chinese proverb goes, ‘The miser does not own the gold; the gold owns the miser.'Gold may be a dead metal. Inert, unchanging and lifeless. But its hold over humanity never relents. It has adorned us since before the dawn of civilisation and, as money, underpinned economies ever since. Desire for it has driven mankind forwards, the prime impulse for quest and conquest, for exploration and discovery. From its origins in the hearts of dying stars to its quiet presence today beneath the machinery of modern finance, gold has seen it all. How many secrets does this silent witness keep? This book tells the story of gold. It unveils the schemes, intrigues and forces that have shaped our world in the relentless pursuit of this ancient asset, which, even in this digital age, still wields immense power.That was Chapter One of The Secret History of Gold The Secret History of Gold is available to pre-order at Amazon, Waterstones and all good bookshops.

As Dorothy is advised in The Wizard of Oz (which was, as we shall discover, part allegory), maybe the time has come to once again ‘follow the yellow brick road'.On the other hand, maybe the twilight of gold has arrived, as Niall Ferguson argued in his history of debt and money, The Cash Nexus. Gold's future, he said, is ‘mainly as jewellery' or ‘in parts of the world with primitive or unstable monetary and financial systems'. Gold may have been money for 5,000 years, or even 10,000 years, but so was the horse a means of transport, and then along came the motor car.A history of gold is inevitably a history of money, but it is also a history of greed, obsession and ambition. Gold is beautiful. Gold is compelling. It is wealth in its purest, most distilled form. ‘Gold is a child of Zeus,' runs the ancient Greek lyric. ‘Neither moth nor rust devoureth it; but the mind of man is devoured by this supreme possession.' Perhaps that's why Thomas Edison said gold was ‘an invention of Satan'. Wealth, and all the emotions that come with it, can do strange things to people.Gold has led people to do the most brilliant, the most brave, the most inventive, the most innovative and the most terrible things. ‘More men have been knocked off balance by gold than by love,' runs the saying, usually attributed to Benjamin Disraeli. Where gold is concerned, emotion, not logic, prevails. Even in today's markets it is a speculative asset whose price is driven by greed and fear, not by fundamental production numbers.Its gleam has drawn man across oceans, across continents and into the unknown. It lured Jason and the Argonauts, Alexander the Great, numerous Caesars, da Gama, Cortés, Pizarro and Raleigh. Brilliant new civilisations have emerged as a result of the quest for gold, yet so have slavery, war, deceit, death and devastation. Describing the gold mines of ancient Egypt, the historian Diodorus Siculus wrote, ‘there is absolutely no consideration nor relaxation for sick or maimed, for aged man or weak woman. All are forced to labour at their tasks until they die, worn out by misery amid their toil.' His description could apply to many an illegal mine in Africa today.The English critic John Ruskin told a story of a man who boarded a ship with all his money: a bag of gold coins. Several days into the voyage a terrible storm blew up. ‘Abandon ship!' came the cry. The man strapped his bag around his waist and jumped overboard, only to sink to the bottom of the sea. ‘Now,' asked Ruskin, ‘as he was sinking — had he the gold? Or had the gold him?'As the Chinese proverb goes, ‘The miser does not own the gold; the gold owns the miser.'Gold may be a dead metal. Inert, unchanging and lifeless. But its hold over humanity never relents. It has adorned us since before the dawn of civilisation and, as money, underpinned economies ever since. Desire for it has driven mankind forwards, the prime impulse for quest and conquest, for exploration and discovery. From its origins in the hearts of dying stars to its quiet presence today beneath the machinery of modern finance, gold has seen it all. How many secrets does this silent witness keep? This book tells the story of gold. It unveils the schemes, intrigues and forces that have shaped our world in the relentless pursuit of this ancient asset, which, even in this digital age, still wields immense power.That was Chapter One of The Secret History of Gold The Secret History of Gold is available to pre-order at Amazon, Waterstones and all good bookshops. I hear the audiobook, read by me, is excellent. The book comes out on August 28.Hurry! Amazon is currently offering 20% off.Until next time,Dominic This is a public episode.

Have you ever walked into a gallery opening, heart pounding, and thought, “What am I doing here? Everyone else looks like they belong”. You're not alone. That voice in your head telling you you're not enough, it's not the truth. It's a glitch in the system. Today, Ceri explains how to reframe how you show up and who you think you are when you do. Your overachieving brain whispering, “You don't belong here”, does not make it true. It's your inner critic trying to keep you safe. But safe is not where art happens. Safe is not where connection happens. And safe is definitely not where you get to grow. So, you really do need to learn to stand up to your inner critic and reframe things, which is exactly what Ceri teaches you to do, in this episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS Before you even leave the house, do a little thought housekeeping. Remind yourself your presence is enough. You don't need to earn your place. You already have it. Put on some emotional armour. Visualise kindness. Imagine a friend or studio mate, welcoming you with warmth, delighted to see you. Walk into a room with purpose, not pressure. Ditch your performance mindset. Instead of pitching, seek out three people and make them feel seen, heard and valued. Opportunities materialise when you connect, not when you push. BEST MOMENTS “Assume generosity, that stranger you're nervous about, they're probably more worried about themselves than judging you. Most people are kinder than your inner critic.” “It's about being present, because the more curious you are, the less space there is for comparison, and the more generous you are, the more generous the room becomes. .” “"Next time that inner voice says, 'Are we there yet?' Smile, nod, tell it we're already there love - and we've only just begun.” PODCAST HOST BIO With over 30 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events. She sold artworks to major museums and private collectors and commissioned thousands of works across diverse media, from renowned artists such as John Akomfrah, Pipilotti Rist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Vito Acconci. Now, she wants to share her extensive knowledge with you, so you can excel and achieve your goals. **** Ceri Hand Coaching Membership: Group coaching, live art surgeries, exclusive masterclasses, portfolio reviews, weekly challenges.

In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I'm going to be sharing powerful money mantras to help you hit your savings goals and stick to your spending plan. Mantras are an incredible tool to shift your mindset and reshape how you approach your goals. Depending on what you want to achieve, listening to specific mantra tracks can seriously enhance your personal growth. In this episode of the mantra series, the focus is on growing your savings, stopping overspending, and sticking to your budget. Take a moment to truly connect with the energy of these words. Imagine having money in savings that you don't need to touch. Visualise yourself reaching your savings goals with ease. See yourself staying committed to your plan and watching that money grow, feeling the pride and joy that comes with it. Think about how you'll use that money, whether it's for a home, a car, a dream vacation, or simply to enjoy the peace and security of financial stability. Whatever your goal may be, imagine it now. You deserve this, and you are absolutely capable of making it happen. Mantras include: I am in control of my financial choices. Every time I say “no” to unnecessary expenses, I am saying “yes” to my future. Each pound I save is a step closer to my dreams. Every purchase I make is intentional and aligns with my priorities. I am grateful for the money I have, and I use it in ways that bring me joy and security. I have the discipline to stick to my spending plan.

Angela looks into the concept of fresh starts and how they can be leveraged to achieve lasting change in health and wellbeing. With January serving as a prime example of a fresh start, she highlights the importance of mindset shifts and the power of small, consistent actions over grand resolutions. Drawing on insights from experts like Dr. Katie Milkman and James Clear, Angela focusses on the significance of creating systems that make goals easier to achieve, building momentum through discipline, and connecting deeply with one's "why." KEY TAKEAWAYS Fresh starts are not limited to January; they occur throughout the year, such as every Monday, spring, and September. These moments provide a mental reset and an opportunity to disconnect from past failures. Instead of overwhelming yourself with ambitious goals, simplify your approach by starting with small, manageable actions. Establish systems that support your goals, making it easy to show up consistently. Motivation can be fleeting, but discipline and consistency are key to long-term success. Focus on showing up every day, even if it's just for a few minutes, and recognise that consistency doesn't require perfection. Implement a nightly practice of celebrating your wins, expressing gratitude, and prioritising tasks for the next day. This helps maintain focus, boosts happiness, and sets you up for success. Understanding the deeper reasons behind your goals is crucial for maintaining motivation. Visualise your future self and make choices that align with the person you want to become, casting votes for that identity with every action you take. BEST MOMENTS "Statistically, most people don't stick with their New Year's resolutions. In fact, 80% of resolutions are abandoned by mid-February." "Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become." "The beauty of starting small is that it creates wins and those wins build confidence, which creates momentum." "Discipline is the strongest form of freedom." "Fresh Starts give you a mental reset... they're a powerful tool to help you disconnect from past failures and embrace a new chapter."

At a young age, she experienced debilitating fatigue but was unable to solve it through a Western medicine approach. Eventually, she turned to alternative methods and experienced a transformative shift in her health. By discovering the power of the mind, body, and spirit connection through different tools and practices, she was able to regulate her nervous system and step back into the most energized version of herself. Knowing that so many others have had similar struggles, Aleks pursued credentials in health coaching and breathwork and started her own wellness studio. Detox House provides people with what Aleks found to be the MOST effective tools in her own healing–the trifecta of saunas, cold plunges, and breathwork. Her end goal is to empower individuals to get rid of the things that no longer serve them, whether a difficult mindset or physical ailment, and step back into their truest selves so they can live their most joyful lives. Aleks' dedication to sharing these life-giving practices establishes Detox House as a community marked by positivity and transformation.
