Peter Russell is an author, speaker and leading thinker on consciousness and contemporary spirituality. Join us in this compelling episode with a luminary whose journey from theoretical physics to spiritual traditions and meditation offers profound insights. Peter's principal interest is the deeper, spiritual significance of the times we are passing through, believing the critical challenge today is freeing human thinking from the limited beliefs and attitudes that lie behind many of our problems - personal, social, and global. His reflections on consciousness, ego and the essence of spiritual traditions reveal the significance of expanding our awareness in an increasingly materialistic world. Peter shares his early explorations in India and subsequent shift towards Eastern philosophy, providing a fresh perspective on how spiritual teachings can guide us in addressing personal and global challenges. Discover the visionary idea of the "global brain," a concept Peter introduced in the early 1980s, where humanity acts as a kind of collective nervous system for our planet. We discuss how this interconnectedness - amplified by recent developments in AI and technology - holds the potential to both enhance and endanger human evolution. We delve into the fascinating question, "Can AI be conscious"? As we explore the nature of consciousness, Peter guides us through the intricate connection between meditation and self-awareness. His insights into finding stillness of mind and understanding the true self underscore the transformative power of meditation in fostering compassion and awareness. We ponder meaningful coincidences, Jung's synchronicity, and how stepping beyond our ego-driven selves might connect us to a collective consciousness. This conversation invites listeners to reflect on the mysteries of existence and the potential global impact of our spiritual awakening.Peter earned a first-class honors degree in theoretical physics and psychology - as well as a master's degree in computer science - at the University of Cambridge, England. He is on the faculty of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, a fellow of The World Business Academy and The Findhorn Foundation, and an Honorary Member of The Club of Budapest, and President of Science and NonDuality. peterrussell.comLiked what you heard?

How can business solve humanity's most significant challenges? Why is business the best vehicle to solve them? For the last 35 years, Rinaldo Brutoco has devoted himself to asking – and answering – these crucial questions. The founding president of nonprofit think (and do!) tank the World Business Academy (WBA) and founder and CEO of green hydrogen transportation firm H2 Clipper (H2C), Rinaldo is a trailblazer in both the theory and practice of sustainable business solutions. Rinaldo graduated from Santa Clara University with degrees in economics and philosophy and later received a J.D. from UCLA School of Law in 1971. His career has had many remarkable turns – pioneer in consumer law, Inc. 500 CEO, author, lecturer, and co-founder of the world's first paid cable TV company. Behind all these turns was an unshakeable conviction that business could – must – be a force for good, driving Rinaldo to found the WBA in 1987 to explore the role of business in addressing serious moral, environmental, and social issues around the world. The think tank has since been responsible for initiatives like the Optimist Daily newsletter, Safe Energy Project, Global Citizen's Club, and the New Business Paradigms podcast. As of 2011, Rinaldo has been practicing what he has preached with the launch of H2C, a firm pioneering a low cost, effective, end-to-end transport and distribution system for green hydrogen. Its revolutionary approach tackles the biggest obstacle to the widespread adoption of hydrogen while also producing a scalable, carbon-free alternative to fossil fuels that's powered by Rinaldo's patented generative AI manufacturing technology. Hear Rinaldo talk about his unique path to clean energy visionary, the importance of teaching entrepreneurship as a noble profession, and why paid cable was a source of good for the world.

On this Living to 100 Club program, our guest is Joe Simonetta, a multi-dimensional humanist and widely respected author and speaker. He has written ten books, many about the mix of crises our world faces today and about solutions that implore us to understand and align with the reality in which we exist and its behavioral demands. Rather than always playing catch up with our health, finances, and education, Joe writes and speaks about the basic steps needed to be and remain healthy, be kind to one another, and respect the environment — the sum of our ecosystems — out of which we evolved and require for our existence. How to stay ahead of the 8-ball, so to speak. We also discuss his first-place, gold medal finish in the sprint triathlon in the 80-84 age division in the U.S. National Senior Games held in July 2023 in Pittsburgh, PA. Because of the level of fitness he maintained through his life and continues to maintain, he was able to accomplish this — despite the fact that it was the first race in which he ever competed and that he used a rented bicycle. Tune in to this compelling and thought-provoking conversation. Mini Bio Joseph R. Simonetta holds a Master of Divinity degree from Harvard Divinity School where he studied ethics, global environmental problems, world religions, cosmology, and evolutionary biology. He also studied at Yale Divinity School. He holds a Master of Architecture degree from the University of Colorado. Joe also studied architecture at the University of Southern California. He holds a B.S. in Business Logistics from Penn State University. Born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, he is the second of three sons of an immigrant blue-collar steelworker and his wife. He was raised in the shadows of the blast furnaces of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. He has since lived for significant amounts of time in California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Florida, Greece, New Zealand, and Ecuador. As a young man, disturbed at the extraordinary amount of unrelenting suffering in the world, he vowed to himself to do something to alleviate it. He went on to live a very unusual life. He has been an Army officer, professional athlete, entrepreneur and businessman, architectural designer, real estate developer, home builder, environmental activist, author, senior editor of the World Business Academy, and twice a nominee for the U.S. Congress. Intermittently, he wrote a mix of fiction and nonfiction books about humanity and the state of the world. He serves on the board of directors of The Secular Community. At the 2023 U.S. National Senior Games held in Pittsburgh, PA in July 2023, he won the gold medal in the Sprint Triathlon in his age division, 80-84. He is married to Susana Rojas Simonetta.

On this episode of the Lead With Purpose podcast host, Tze Ching Yeung talks to Blaine Bartlett, a consultant who has impacted more than one million people globally about his role as a coach and motivator and how business can succeed by taking inspiration from nature. KEY TAKEAWAYS In nature, in my childhood, I marvel at the seasonality, the way life seems to fit together, nothing seems to go to waste, it's utilised in some way, shape or form. Even in times of drought things still grow. From that childhood experience I started considering what is the purpose of business, so I went to study economics which is the study of scarcity. The universe is not scarce, it's infinitely abundant, I wanted to study abundance and nature is abundant. I took the implication from that to how I run my businesses. There is no such thing that exists in real life as a free-market economy in the way that most people experience business. There's restraints, guardrails, prohibitions, nature is truly the only free-market economy: When it's left untouched it does what it's supposed to do, which is grow and distribute goods and services for the consumption of those aspects of nature that need it. Compassion is predicated and organised around connection, it's literally impossible for me to behave compassionately towards something or someone unless I feel emotionally connected to them. It informs the decisions that I make and my behaviours. This comes from being conscious that your business touches many more people than just your board and shareholders and that your decisions have ripple effects that affect more than just the bottom line. One of the catalysts for a move to utopia is to define in people's minds what the purpose of a business is. It's not to make money – that's important to stay in business – but the purpose of business is to enhance the likelihood of thriving for the people that come in contact with my service or product. BEST MOMENTS ‘I work with some of the largest organisations on the planet and look at how we can make them more hospitable to the human spirit.' ‘Leadership, business, enterprises all trace back to: How do we succeed? The answer to that question is: We pay attention to what nature can teach us.' ‘The container that we operate in constrains our behaviour. If we change the structure of the container it makes possible different behaviours which generate different outcomes.' ‘The problem with large enterprises is that there's so much inertia built into the system that it's really difficult to turn them. It is possible. It may be utopistic, but who doesn't want to live in a utopia?' ABOUT THE GUEST Blaine Bartlett is President and CEO of Avatar Resources, Inc., a consulting firm he founded in 1987. He is also Founder of the Institute for Compassionate Capitalism, a Managing Director of the Global Coaching Alliance, an Adjunct Professor at China's Beijing University, Dean of Education at the World Business Academy, and a member of the teaching faculty at the American Association for Physician Leadership.

I have to put in context, and Arthur Schopenhauer observed that all truth passes through three levels. First, it's ridicule, second, it's violently opposed, third, it's accepted as being self -evident. Such a truth has emerged in our lifetime. It informs us that we exist as a tiny fragment of an immensely larger interlocking pole, which all the parts are interconnected and depend upon each other for survival. Simply put, everything's connected to everything else. We exist not separately, but in communion with all other living things. Life's an interrelated, interdependent phenomenon. Everything's in relationship. It's the nature of universe, it's the nature of the reality in which we exist. Like it or not, reality has behavioral demands. That is, if you want to stick around, if you want to live, if you want to continue on the journey, those behavioral demands can be summarized in seven words. Be healthy, be kind, respect the environment. Each one of us is like a cell in the body of humanity. The health of all of us taken together in terms of the health of humanity and the health of our civilization." On Updating Beliefs "The question is, how do we reduce ignorance and suffering, expand knowledge and justice? Einstein observed that we can't solve our problems from the same level of thinking which they originated.So it begs the question, what level of thinking are we at?

To further the evolution of a socially altruistic heart-centered intelligence and two-way telepathic awareness, Sperry Andrews founded the Human Connection Institute in 1990, facilitating hundreds of groups internationally for forty years. He has taught anyone interested how to effectively recreate these experiences in-person, as well as online via webcam. He has published and given invited presentations on human interconnectedness and the Human Connection Project at the University of Connecticut ('88/'89), the Association for Research and Enlightenment ('90), the United Nations ('92), World Business Academy ('93/'94), Duke University ('95), Two Foundations of Mind conferences at U.C. Berkeley (2014/'15), and the ASCSI conference in Raleigh, NC (2018). He collaborated for five years with Dr. William Braud, Senior Research Associate of the Mind Science Foundation, to pioneer the field of Distant Mental Interactions with Living Systems (DMILS) and direct a multinational, scientifically based, social action media research project to demonstrate our indivisibility on instrument under double-blind conditions with aikido masters, Buddhist monks, and well know celebrities stationed at multiple scientific laboratories in widely separated geographic locations. For six years, he has been collaborating with Dr. James E. Beichler, an outstanding theoretical physicist and scientific historian. They agree: “Our single field theory goes well beyond the simple notion of mind and consciousness as mere human bound perceivers and interpreters of the external material/physical world, by placing the physical origin of consciousness within every geometrical point in the universe itself.” Ep 1 ► https://bit.ly/SperryAndrews1 Sperry's Links

It was an honour and real pleasure to chat an hour with Elisabet Sahtouris, a renowned evolution biologist and futurist who is exploring the relevance of biological systems to organizational design in business, government and globalisation. She currently holds the Elisabet Sahtouris Chair in Living Economies at the World Business Academy, Santa Barbara, California and is a Professor in Residence at Chaminade University, School of Business & Communication, Honolulu, Hawaii. Her books include “A Walk Through Time: From Stardust to Us”, “Biology Revisioned” (co-authored with Willis Harman), “EarthDance: Living Systems in Evolution”, and “Gaia's Dance: The Story of Earth & Us”. Elisabet is currently visiting Estonia, speaking at many venues and events (the complete list of the speaking engagements can be found on the Gaia Akadeemia webpage). “Caterpillars chew their way through ecosystems leaving a path of destruction as they get fatter and fatter. A caterpillar can eat up to three hundred times its own weight in a day, devastating many plants in the process, continuing to eat until it's so bloated that it hangs itself up and goes to sleep, its skin hardening into a chrysalis. Then, within the chrysalis, within the body of the dormant caterpillar, a new and very different kind of creature, the butterfly, starts to form. These changes occur when the crisis of overeating, fatigue and breakdown opens the door for the caterpillar gradually to begin developing into a butterfly. Such metamorphosis makes a good metaphor for the great changes we are experiencing in the world today. Our bloated old system is rapidly becoming defunct while the vision of a new and very different society is now emerging like a butterfly, seeing our human society not in the metaphors and models of mechanism as well-oiled social machinery, but in those of evolving, self-organising and intelligent living organism.” – Elisabet Sahtouris Listen and enjoy!

Blaine Bartlett joins the show to discuss a sweeping array of topics on everything from self awareness, business ethics, and aspects of globalization and shifting market forces. Blaine is President and CEO of Avatar Resources Inc, a consulting firm he founded in 1987. He has served clients in Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, and the United States. While living in Japan in the early 1980's, he managed the business and international consulting division of one of the largest and most successful Human Resource Development and Consulting organizations in Asia. Blaine is also Founder of the Institute for Compassionate Capitalism, a Managing Director of the Global Coaching Alliance, an Adjunct Professor at China's Beijing University, Dean of Education at the World Business Academy, and a member of the teaching faculty at the American Association for Physician Leadership.  In this hour, Blaine helps listeners make the important distinctions between market models and sociopolitical models while breaking down the principles of what he calls Compassionate Capitalism. Blaine illustrates why he believes that the single most important purpose of business is to enhance the likelihood of their employees to thrive. He shares why the practice of valuing the soul of your business, while never forsaking your core values and relationships, is a trait of so many successful ventures. In addition to discussing relationship building and leadership, Blaine and John reflect upon shared business experiences and why the tunnel vision of shareholder supremacy can be an achilles heel for leaders. Blaine is fond of saying “the primary focus of what I do is built upon a foundation that focuses on returning to or regaining the soul of your business – that esprit that gives what you do meaning and vitality and connects to everything your business touches.” This focus on your business's unique aspects along with the curation of relationships and focusing on internal relationships while avoiding the dangers of singular growth is an organizing principle in this conversation. Implementing this mindset shift from being a center of accumulation to a center of distribution lies at the core of Blaines' work and mission and John is excited to unpack that message in this episode.   Topics Include: The Role of Consciousness in Decision Making Focusing On Integrity and Ethics In Business Breaking Down The Drastic Market Shifts in China Compassionate Capitalism Opposed to Crony Capitalism Implementing a “Do No Harm” Philosophy in Business The Importance of Sustaining the Soul of Your Business Starting Businesses Versus Running Businesses The Importance of Relationships In Business The Dangers of Shareholder Supremacy Curating Quality Relationships In Your Business Why Singular Focus on Growth Can Harm Your Business The Mindset of Distribution Rather Than Accumulation   Connect With Blaine:  Website: https://www.blainebartlett.com/ Books: https://www.blainebartlett.com/books/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/blainebartlett/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/blainebartlett Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OfficialBlaineBartlett/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blainebartlett/?hl=en   The Institute for Compassionate Capitalism: https://www.compassionate-capitalism.org/ Avatar Resources: https://www.avatar-resources.com/   Follow John: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/johncerasani TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@johncerasani LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/johncerasani   For More Info on John's Book: https://2000percentraise.com/ More 2000 Percent Raise Episodes and Content: https://linktr.ee/2000percentraise   Produced by: https://socialchameleon.us

If you're a regular listener to Truth Tastes Funny, you probably know that I started my career in NY on Madison Avenue after attending School of Visual Arts. Well, my guest John Follis is a Madison Ave adman who made waves before I ever dipped my toe in the ocean. John's campaign for Sorrell Ridge Fruit Spreads - citing their jam's all-natural ingredients - knocked Smuckers for a loop (maybe it was the tagline, "With 100% fruit, it has to be better."). The ad was so effective it became a case taught at the Harvard Business School and featured in Forbes. In ‘93, Follis/DeVito/Verdi was the second most awarded agency in New York. That same year John formed Follis Inc to include a focus on non-traditional and online marketing. In 2003, in response to the shifting media landscape and to provide an alternative to the traditional ad agency model, he created "Follis Marketing Therapy".  And, in 2006, John created "The Follis Marketing Report" blog and "The Marketing Show with John Follis" podcast syndicated on iTunes. John has always made time for public service and for one very successful public service campaign that he spearheaded, he was honored at The White House. As a result of John's career success he's been invited to write for ADWEEK and speak at venues including The World Business Academy and Yale University. Now for the funny part: John flunked out of his first college advertising class and was told by the instructor that he would never be successful in advertising.Find John:Wiki bio: https://en.everybodywiki.com/John_Follis”True Stories” series; https://bit.ly/3Kok4GJRecent article: https://bit.ly/3vr2ufthttps://follisinc.comIf you enjoyed listening to Truth Tastes Funny, please leave a 5-star rating and a 300-word review on Apple Podcasts (click Listen on Apple Podcasts to access review option)Check out Hersh's new podcast: YES, BRANDBoldly taking brands where they desperately wanna goFollow us on Instagram: @truthtastesfunnyFollow Hersh on Instagram: @Hersh4allon LinkedIn: HershRephunon YouTube: HershRephunon Twitter: @TruthTstsFunnyOur Website: TruthTastesFunnyContact UsExplore Branded Ventures with Truth Tastes Funny and Hersh's YES, BRAND Podcast

“You have to realise that you succeed in direct proportion to the amount that you help others succeed. So, it's not all about you and your success and how much money you're making. At the end of the day. It's going to be about how much you can help the guy who's sitting across the desk deciding whether he should give you a job.”  John's Top Five Tips for Being the Best in Your Profession 1.       It starts with a decision to WANT to be the best.2.       Then you must put yourself in a position to learn from the best. (the best schools, cities, work environment, etc)3.       Determination and persistence is key.4.       Relatedly, you must be able to rebound, as quick as possible, from setbacks.5.       Lastly, you cannot let your ambition cloud your methods. Lying, cheating, and deceivingto "be the best" will ultimately tarnish your reputation despite whatever you might achieve. TIME STAMP SUMMARY00:51 Surrounding yourself with the best05:27 Do not get discouraged09:45 Helping others11:04 The definition of success differs  Where to find JohnWebsite                               http://www.follisinc.com/ LinkedIn                               https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnfollis  Who is John Follis? John Follis is a creative Madison Ave adman who worked for the top NY agencies on accounts including Coke, VW, and Pizza Hut.

Clients have included IBM, Apple, Digital, American Express, Barclays Bank, Swedish Telecom, ICI, Shell Oil and British Petroleum.In 1982 he coined the term "global brain" with his 1980s bestseller of the same name in which he predicted the Internet and the impact it would have.

#209 In this episode, I'll have a chat with author, speaker, and leading thinker in consciousness and contemporary spirituality, Peter Russell. With all the misunderstandings in the world of the word “Consciousness” and how to really “Let go”, Peter says that the way we view the two is all wrong. According to him, we don't let go of people or things, but our attachment to them - the way we see them. So when we let go, we are actually letting go of nothing. He believes the most critical challenge we face today is to free human thinking from the limited beliefs and attitudes that lie behind so many of our personal, social and global problems. Join us as we venture into what being conscious really means, the how of letting-go, and how it can open into an uncomplicated relationship to what is right now, dissolving whatever gets in the way of us showing up fully, sanely, and gratefully. Peter and I will also consider together how wonder releases tension in the mind, how gratitude releases tension in the heart, and how a radical practice of letting go, releases the whole being into its true nature - beneath and beyond even our humanity. At the end of this episode, you will have learned with great clarity and depth how you can move your life into greater alignment. Enjoy.

Cindy Wigglesworth is best selling author of SQ21: The Twenty-One Skills of Spiritual Intelligence. Her work has had an enormous impact on my own perspective of leadership. The need to develop wise and compassionate leaders is needed more than ever. This is one of the most important interviews for leadership I have done so far. A must listen for those aspiring to make a bigger difference. We discuss: How the experience of divorce and raising a daughter was a profound stimulus for reflection and the impetus to explore better leadership Why ego-driven leadership and its poorest forms of narcissism and self absorption is exhausting to be around How leadership from the more expanded point of view the Higher Self attracts people willingly to follow you The work of advanced spiritual intelligence as a continual practice  The calling “to be a light onto the world” is within us all, and the work we do can be the candle that lights the way for others Why Cindy is grateful for President Trump as he has been a catalyst for Americans to examine the profound truth of how much racial divide is still systemic, and why there is still much racial and political healing to do in the USA How Obama created the conditions that brought Trump forward How we are all called to growth The lotus flower blooms in mud, just as we can bloom through the muck and mess of our own lives The role of a new thought Church to foster Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha Why you need to have your BS challenges (belief system, as well as the other B.S.) How emotional intelligence is the first thing to address as leaders: name the emotion, identify what triggered, and practice inserting a PAUSE between stimulus and response

In this conversation, Bernard Lietaer reveals how our relationship with money has become unconscious. We have forgotten that we designed and created the idea of money. It seems money is managing us rather than us using it to serve our needs. “Money is an agreement,” says Bernard. “What is interesting about this definition is that one can change it once it stops working for us.” Bernard reviews alternatives to the current system that we seem tied to, one he calls “patriarchal” because it is a single currency system, created top-down, that promotes short-term rather than long-term thinking. He also discusses places he has seen both acceptance and resistance to these alternative systems. Bernard ends the conversation by speculating on what it will take for a money revolution. What will it take to raise global consciousness around the nature of money, our behavior patterns around it, and the existence of other possibilities? BIO Bernard Lietaer, author of The Future of Money, is an international expert in the design and implementation of currency systems.  He has studied and worked in the field of money for more than 30 years in an unusually broad range of capacities including as a Central Banker, a fund manager, a university professor, and a consultant to governments in numerous countries, multinational corporations, and community organizations. He co-designed and implemented the convergence mechanism to the single European currency system (the Euro) and served as president of the Electronic Payment System at the National Bank of Belgium (the Belgian Central Bank). He co-founded and managed GaiaCorp, a top performing currency fund whose profits funded investments in environmental projects. A former professor of International Finance at the University of Louvain, he has also taught at Sonoma State University and Naropa University.  He is currently a Research Fellow at the Center for Sustainable Resources of the University of California at Berkeley.  He is also a member of the Club of Rome, a Fellow of the World Academy of Arts and Sciences, the World Business Academy, and the European Academy of Sciences and Arts. Bernard Lietaer has written numerous books and articles about money systems, including Of Human Wealth (2011), Monnaies Régionales (2008), and The Mystery of Money (2000).

What My Soul Told Me with Richard Barrett This book provides a practical step-by-step guide to soul activation. This four step process involves: Connecting with your soul; Befriending your soul; Trusting your soul; Becoming one with your soul. You are a soul in a human body but your ego is unaware of this. To fully step into soul consciousness, you must learn how to align the beliefs of your ego with the values of your soul, and commit to leading a values and purpose-driven life. The ultimate arbiter of where you have got to on your journey into soul consciousness is the quality of the connections you have with other people-not just your family and friends, but the strangers around you. Every person you meet is a soul who is working on the same project as you-promoting the evolution of human consciousness. Rejoice in your common heritage and purpose by connecting with them wherever you are and whenever you can. When you fully realize who you are, you will understand that in caring for others, you are caring for yourself.

The Metrics of Human Consciousness with Richard Barrett History has shown that the evolution of measurement is the key to the evolution of societies, something we take for granted since most of our measurements are already standardized. Richard Barrett believes that we are missing one very important standardized measurement– human consciousness.   In his book, The Metrics of Human Consciousness, Richard delves into what consciousness is and how it can be quantified in order to significantly improve our individual, organizational, and societal performance.   By creating psychological measurement technologies, Richard believes that we can change the conversation not just about what exists, but what we need to move to in order to resolve the current issues our global society is facing.
