Too is Russell Brunson's, Marketing Secrets Podcast. And one thing I noticed about Russell Brunson, he's really good at staying on point with his episodes. And he obviously has great content. He's very successful at what he does with tons of experience. So I very much enjoy his, um, staying on point. And I realized, yeah, I can veer off a lot veer off of my point. And I love that. And they can have multiple points going at the same time. And I love that perhaps one day, all my episodes will be, or most of them will be one specific point, but as it is, some of my episodes are good at that. And some are good at multiple trains of thought, this is going to be a multiple train of thought episode.Mischa Z: 01:17 The next thing about the, his podcast today was he showed some great vulnerability talking about how he had a failed webinar. So he does webinars and drives purchases and things like that. And generally speaking, we hear about lots of success. He paints the picture of lots of success, which is awesome. He does have lots of success. But today he said how he ha he had in him and his company, ClickFunnels had invested multiple eight figures in a, in a company and another company to acquire their list. And then so they could market to this list and, and he was doing a webinar to that list. And, you know, 8,000 people jumped on the webinar or something and, and he flamed out in a massive way. And he was talking about it. And he was also talking about at the end, you know, he said, Hey, a lot of us successful folks talk about the wound versus the scar and how, how in a perfect world, you, you only talk about those things that have scarred over. So they're not raw wounds. And he was laughing and, you know, having fun. And he was clearly the state of frustration talking about the current wound of his failed webinar. And, uh, which is really cool because it gave me, or gives me a little permission to talk about some of the wound'ee things that I talk about. Um, and, and I, I dunno if I want to say makes it okay, but, but it, it does happen and it can be refreshing to hear about real time frustration from someone who's super successful.Mischa Z: 03:44 And he further talked about how, how, you know, some, some failures that led to successes. He had the launch Click Funnels five times, and then on the sixth time, and finally took hold and he was talking about how he did this. It was called 10 X, this 10 X sales conference. And he did his presentation and he made $3 million. This was a live concert or not. It was a live presentation in front of 10,000 people or some such thing. And, and it was so successful, his pitch that he made $3 million, sold $3 million worth of product. And so the next year he goes to it to do it again. And there's a documentary about the whole thing, which now I have to watch, but he brings along a documentary crew and I get under the, under the guise of this thing is going to be super successful. There's 30,000 people at the event this time versus 10,000 last time. So he, you know, they're thinking they're going to make tens of millions of dollars, or he says, billions of dollars. And of course he totally flamed out. So he put out the documentary that shows him flaming out, shows this whole process. Now I have to find it. And you can listen to the Russell Brunson Marketing Secrets Podcast. And he it's like my webinar failed. That's the, something like that, the title of his episode.Mischa Z: 05:43 And, uh, and you can track down the, this, this documentary of him imploding on webinar or on, on, on, yeah, on a big sales presentation in front of 30,000 people or not having the success he wanted. So it was kind of refreshing. He was just talking a lot about how, you know, he's a performer and effect in, and, uh, you know, it's, he's, he's sales...does salei... s his performance, right? He's, he's performing to sell his very effective product. And it was kind of two things I felt after the podcast episode, the first one was, thank God, he's human. Right. Thank God. Russell Brunson is human. Russell Brunson is human. And then the second thing I thought was, oh, now there's no golden goose out there that ensures success, quote, unquote success and everything we do as a fledgling entrepreneur, um, I've got to get ready to fail.Mischa Z: 07:11 There's going to be failures. So that, that, that was a very, I was like, oh my gosh, that was disheartening for a moment. But of course, as I like to say, come back to the moment, do the next indicated step and, uh, continue on. It's funny. I managed to stay on point about somebody else's podcast episode being my, being my topic. Um, so yeah, that's, that's, uh, that's it Russell Brunson had a failure and, uh, it, it provided me hope that, uh, we don't have to be superhuman, but then also, oh, no, we don't become superhuman. Uh, gosh, that's it. I I'm right at eight minutes, I'm going to call it good. Have a fine day.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

After two weeks of camping and my brother being in town I'm getting back to my entrepreneurial journey.  Which feels good.  And it turns out I may have mastered consistency.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Z: 00:03 It is fun to get back on track. It's fun to get back on track, you know, when you're busy with something and you get momentum and then perhaps you take a vacation and come back from the vacation, rested and relaxed, and it can take a little bit to re find your groove. And, uh, and to get back on track. But when you do it feels good. So, yes, let's talk about this. Getting back on track. I, of course completed the Tools For A Good Life Summit, which anybody can go check out www.toolsforagoodlifesummit.com. I had put a ton of work into it and came out of the other side with all sorts of great lessons and momentum, but at the same time, very burned out and overwhelmed by perhaps next steps. And that's what I've been talking about, the last few episodes or some of the next steps.Mischa Z: 01:16 And I feel like a few of those episodes have been a bit disjointed and messy, but I'm still going with it. Take the messy action. So my brother was in town for a week as well. I love my brother, Nick. Hey Nick, if you're listening, I love you make us such a fantastic supporter of me and what I do. But as I get older, I'm 53. Now Nick came and visited for five or six days, and we usually have some fun and, and eat lots of food, drink, lots of coffee. And you know, every time he leaves there is sadness in me. And I'm not sure why I'm telling you this. And will you find this useful? Maybe you'll find it useful in that you can relate. But I had a very big sense of melancholy when he left. He left a couple of days ago, but I definitely had a sense of melancholy.Mischa Z: 02:26 And, uh, so I went on this camping trip. So effectively was off the grid, got nothing done other than grounding with nature. Bonding, with nature and getting refreshed and revitalized. Then my brother came to town and I effectively, you know, took that week off from all this 2CCX growing your audience, um, you know, building a business, an interweb business fund. And, uh, he left a couple of days ago. Then I just took the next day off beautiful. And yesterday I was inspired to update my Instagram and my son, the, the, the, the bio link. And so what's going on is I'm on a summit. I was on somebody else's summit. I spoke on it, the Forgiveness Zone Summit, go check it out. The Forgiveness Zone Summit. You can click on the link in the show notes and check it out that way. But part of me being on the summit is to promote the summit. As I've asked people who spoke at my summit to promote that summit. So I am committed to promoting the summit, but part of that is getting my Instagram dialed in so that I don't have enough followers on Instagram yet where I can put the link in the actual story, I guess. Yes, the story.Mischa Z: 04:18 And so I need to put "link in bio" "link in bio". I believe that's the same in the notes of a regular Instagram post too, on the feed. So "Link in bio". So I needed to get the link in bio dialed in. So I did there's link tree, you'll see link tree on my part of ClickFunnels. So I was able to create a quick funnel and put it in the Instagram bio. So you can click on the link in bio and it, you can go to the Forgiveness Zone Summit. You can go to the Tools For A Good Life Summit. You can go check out this podcast, the Bitch Slap ...The Accelerated Path To Peace! Podcast. So that feels awesome. I finally got that done. I got an, a post on Facebook for the Forgiveness Zone Summit. I got that done. I've got an idea on how to update my Facebook profile.Mischa Z: 05:22 So I'm working on that, all these things. Um, and I got an email out to my list promoting the summit. That's the biggest thing. I got an email out to my fledgling list, promoting the Forgiveness Zone Summit. Wow! So I've been thinking a lot too, about how am I adding value? Is this adding value? And I think one of the big ways that I'm adding value on this podcast, as people can jump along, they can grow with me. They can try new things with me. They can try the things that I'm trying with me, or perhaps they can listen fondly and go, gosh, I can remember back when I was starting out with new ventures on the internet. And so you can laugh with me. Um, and hopefully, you know, hopefully I am showing people how to take messy action, how to trust in God, how too, you know, learn all great life tools along the way.Mischa Z: 06:41 Oh my goodness. Um, so I also, the last two or three weeks had missed, um, some, a couple of coaching calls on purpose. Cause I was off the grid effectively on vacation. I had missed a couple of classrooms, a couple of coaching group classrooms. And so I got to re engage and get on a coaching call today and it felt really good. I got to talk to coach Vince about my insecurities, about re upping on the coaching and how I felt perhaps behind. And, and some of my other insecurities, you know, monetizing my vision, the business will the business ever monetize and some other things. And he talked to me about consistency. And how, what he saw in me was consistency and how consistency is such a key part of, of, of an entrepreneurial endeavor. Consistency is a big, big part of that. So that felt really good to hear. Um, so I just wanted to give everybody an update. I'm back at it. I feel good. I'm updating Instagram, I'm updating Facebook and promoting the summit that I spoke on the Tools For A Good Life Summit. I'm back on some coaching calls. And I feel like the momentum I had out of the summit, much of that is indeed carrying forward. So that's where I am. I feel like I survived vacation. I survived family visits, perhaps even thrived through them. Love to all have a good day.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

Labor day mayhem swirls around me as I record this.  A little bit on the next bits of messy action standing right in front of me.  And I give you the simple instructions on how to interact with a hundred thousand people via Facebook groups.1) Find five groups that share your common interests.  With approximately 20,000 each. 2) Each morning you put a value post in there.   3) Each morning you answer three questions that have been posted on each group.  (Thank you Russell Brunson!)Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Z: 00:01 I am going to try to record with a lot of people coming and going. As I record this it's labor day and I grabbed my microphone on the way out the door. I'll tell you why I woke up this morning and did my meditation and did a little, A Course In Miracles reading, which was so poignant about, um, gosh, I don't have my notes in front of me. It doesn't matter. Let's say that for another day. It did all that. Did my routine checked to make sure that the latest podcast episode published and it did, and it was number 300. Oh my God. I have published 300 podcast episodes . and it just brought such a light lightness to my heart and a bit of joy. It's like, oh my gosh, like one day at a time that has come together and the outcomes were or are, or where holy mackerel. I probably probably edit the motorcycles out. Anyhow, the outcomes were irrelevant. It was just really cool to be like, yeah, 300 episodes are up. The best part about it is number 300, my top three prayers for the moment. How fun is that? I dunno. And all, it just seems sort of numerically, coincidentally, 300 episode, top three prayers to stay in the moment.Mischa Z: 02:23 And I thought to the messy action, there's a lot of messy action going on right now. And I'm like, you know what? I'm going to record. But I feel like is in the teeth of the madness, the mouth of the madness traffic people walking, it's an incredibly busy morning due to, uh, people having the day off. So normally where in there wouldn't be traffic or this week cars or this people. I was like, I was thinking, I'm going to look really silly talking to my phone, recording on my Shure MV88, mic. But heck with it, do it anyway. Take the messy action. Put your fears aside, take the messy action and put your fears aside. And how about this? Maybe this attracts the person it's supposed to attract it. Repels the people it's supposed to repel, but attracts the people it's supposed to attract.Mischa Z: 03:40 I like that thought another thing I wanted to discuss, another thing I wanted to discuss is up until this morning, I kind of was in a state of overwhelm of, of next. What was next? I know I've talked about that on a few episodes, but I had some fear of financial insecurity takeover in this moment. Him not financially insecure, but I was projecting out a couple of years and gripped with, oh my gosh, what if this doesn't work? Or, you know, what, if I don't start making money or monetizing my efforts. And you know all this future tripping and also like the list of tasks in front of me. And it just became very clear next indicated step. And it's all going to be good next indicated step and it's all going to be good. So the next indicated step is put out a couple of promotions on the summit that I'm on, that I've been asked to speak on.Mischa Z: 05:06 You can check it out. The forgiveness zone summit, the link will be in this episode and come up with a new, uh, clean up my Facebook profile and then start interacting with groups. And that's just, that's one thing to do the other is to, uh, so I can do that right away. I can get home and then clean up the episode. And then the a hundred thousand people in the three to five groups, clean up those groups and then start interacting with the groups. And that feels like the Herculean effort, right? Like, right. Like you can tell I'm insecure in the moment. Cause there's lots of filler words, right? Like lots of filler words. So funny that being a filler as well.Mischa Z: 06:23 So the next thing staring me right in the eyes is interact with a hundred thousand people via Facebook groups. So anybody can do this. If you're wanting to grow your audience or have some impact or extend your reach or link in with new communities, find three to five groups on Facebook that are what you're interested in. So mine would be most likely meditation, you know, S uh, personal growth, perhaps recovery. So you find five groups with approximately 20,000 each and then each morning you put a value post in there and you answer three questions on each group.Mischa Z: 07:22 In theory, this will drive interactions with you and your Facebook profile. And if you have somewhere that they can follow from your Facebook profile, they'll follow that, that breadcrumb. I E for me, it could be my summit link or my podcast linked to my podcast, whatever. And as I record this, I've got about 350 Instagram followers. And about 1050 Facebook friends slash followers, I think he started getting followers on your personal profile when she cap at the 5,000 friends. I honestly don't know how it works, but I'm just telling you those numbers. So for a couple of reasons, one, so we can see how the numbers are different in a few months and two, um, it's creating a little accountability in me. I'm putting out there what I'm going to start doing every morning. Okay. There is my labor day episode. I made it. I survived. What did I talk about? I talked about, oh, yes, I recorded my, or mySpeaker 2: 08:55 Hundredth episode published, which very exciting brought joy to my heart. Just that one day at a time, I've been able to do that and be staying in the moment to the next indicated step. That's all I got to do. Peace out. Love to all.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

My brother nick is in town!  I reflect on my willingness to finally do a meditation episode.  And then I give a shout out to my brother Nick, who always supports me.  No matter the shenanigans.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript:Mischa Z: 00:01 So my brother is in town, my brother, Nick, who's a few years older than me. And, uh, he's been in town for a few days and it's so interesting because it upsets my routine. And in a, in a fine way, like I'm absolutely not complaining. Um, and I love my brother tremendously. And, uh, I just want to say a few things about my brother and then some inspiration, um, that I had at the same time. So, uh, yeah, Nixon town naked. If you're listening to this, to this episode, I love you. Um, uh, yeah, so Nick gets to town and, um, it was right after my camping trip. And, uh, and so as I'm trying to find my new routine coming out of the summit and I go on this camping trip, get back and Nick shows up the next day and, and, uh, I had all this momentum recording episodes for, for this podcast.Mischa Z: 01:07 And then as soon as Nick lands and like too bashful to record an episode in front of him, um, trying to find the time usually recorded my house or walking, but not finding time to walk, anyhow. Um, and just in a bit of a, of a state of, uh, oh no, again, what am I going to record? What am I gonna record? I'm I'm idealess. Idealless for a podcast episode and, uh, all of a sudden, so this is one of the things I'm going to talk about. I've got a couple more in regards to Nick. Um, but this is really in regards to some inspiration that I had. So I was just reading "A Course In Miracles", you know, as Nick was kicking it on the couch, it's the afternoon, three or four in the afternoon. And, and I keep, you know, turning to my intuition or source or, you know, the infinite intelligence and, and trusting that don't worry.Mischa Z: 02:22 It's okay if your Nick's here and you're not having a ton of cohesive thought streams of thought for, for, um, an episode. Just trying to trust that right. And keep like, saying that mantra to myself, Hey, it's okay. The ideas will come. Or I had all these great content flowing front, um, the Viktor Frankl book. And I'm hoping for more content from that book, because it was so rich with ideas and talking points. And there were, uh, interestingly in the Victor Frankl book, there's a couple of thoughts where I was like, a couple of this ideas might go, oh, maybe I would disagree a little bit. So I think that will be fun to talk about as well, perhaps or anyway. So as, uh, I'm reading "A Course In Miracles", I find this really juicy paragraph about pausing for a moment and letting go of some preconceived notions and things.Mischa Z: 03:46 So you can see people in a different light and the inspiration hits me as I'm doing what the paragraph says, oh my gosh, what a great meditation this would be and what a great episode that would be. And, um, it's been lurking in my mind as I, when I, from when I started the podcast. And even before I started the podcast, perhaps I would do some sorts of, you know, meditations and, uh, and so to have that thought pop into my head and that willingness feels super exposed. Wanting to do a meditation episodes. I just feel super exposed to me, like putting myself out there in a way that's very raw. And so the thought of actually doing it was very far away. The idea of it was there, but perhaps the willingness and the inspiration seemed elusive and fleeting at best. And so to have that inspiration come to me was pretty cool. And the next thing that happened was go do the meditation yourself, take 20 minutes, breathe that in and let it settle and internalize it and then come back and record the episode. And, uh, so that's what I did. Yesterday's episode was the, was the outcropping of that. Is that the right word or the result of that? Um, it's really funny as I'm walking through traffic, talking on my phone, getting interesting looks, trying to not get hit by a car,Speaker 2: 05:57 Hitting pause, just hitting start again. I found a bench to sit on. Sure. It he'd get hectic all the sudden as I was walking and recording. So anyway, it was super fun to do that a little, you know, seven or eight minute episode meditation. And I'm assuming that as you're listening to this, I actually published it. Um, but I did some, I did some literally four or five years ago. And I still have some that were recordings laying around where I started playing with this microphone that I'm recording on and playing with meditations and things, but never with, did I actually think I would record and publish meditations? It's a very exciting, thank you for listening. Listen to yesterday's episode. I hope you find it fun. Um, and so lastly, just want to talk about Nick and give a little shout out to Nick. And I could probably do a whole nother episode and perhaps I will, but I just want to say right here in this moment, how, how I really, my brother is such a good man and how, oh my gosh.Speaker 2: 07:23 It's may have trains super loud RVs. I thought this was going to be a nice, calm, quiet episode. It's not turning out that way. The best laid plans of mice and men hang in there, everybody. But just to see just how cool it is to have a brother is who was so supportive of what I feel like are my shenanigans, right? Like doing podcasts and summits and, and, uh, just over my life, he's always been encouraging to me and, and, uh, and, and one of my biggest supporters and my biggest fans in the face of sometimes what seemed to be crazy behaviors. So a big shout out to my brother. And I would encourage anybody to think about the people in their lives, who support you, who are the people in your lives that support you no matter what, and just encourage you. And I hope you have at least one of those people in your lives. One of them is absolutely my brother, and I'm very grateful for him and just life is good. That's it? I'm going to stop. Now. I survived. This is one of those episodes where I feel like I survived in spite of the mayhem flying on around me.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

And sometimes people think that I only work with athletes, but I work with everyday people like myself. There's only so many athletes that you're gonna be able to work with, just because there's only... You think about the NFL, there's only a thousand people, and out of those a thousand people... I have a small group of people that I work with it. Same thing in the UFC, there's only 550 people on the roster. So sometimes people think, "Oh, does he only work with athletes?" or whatever. No, I work with everyday people, like I said, like myself, like yourself, so...0:01:49.9 Mischa Z: Yeah. Perfect, thank you for that. I will tell you, as I've been putting together this summit and I was searching madly for a hypnotherapist...0:02:00.0 Dom the Hypnotist: How did you... Did you go on Instagram and you went to the "hypnosis" tag or something? 0:02:04.9 Mischa Z: Yeah, exactly.0:02:05.9 Dom the Hypnotist: Oh, there you go.0:02:06.0 Mischa Z: Exactly. Yes, and yeah it was interesting, I'll tell you, you can find, obviously, a ton of people that way, and what I loved about you and what drew me to you is you seem like a down-to-earth real... Like, "Here's a real... " You present it in real-life terms, which I think is so powerful. Yeah, and then I'll tell you too, I was like... You invite a few people, and I'm like "Gosh I hope Dom says yes", 'cause I like your message, I think...0:02:39.9 Dom the Hypnotist: I think I got an email from you and then I thought it was spam and so I just kind of ignored it, 'cause I get emails like that all the time...0:02:46.1 Mischa Z: Yes.0:02:46.1 Dom the Hypnotist: People asking "Dom do you wanna get your blue check mark? Do you wanna get this or that?" or whatever. So I just kind of ignored it, and then the second email, I don't know what caught my eye but I think it seemed like it wasn't spam, and I kind of read through it like, "Oh, this guy actually looked at my account, it wasn't just a blast email."0:03:05.0 Mischa Z: Yes, yes. Yeah, cool. Tell me, just real quick, at two to three minutes, how did you get involved in hypnotherapy and NLP and all that sort of stuff? 0:03:14.0 Dom the Hypnotist: Yeah, so it was actually completely random. Ever since I was maybe 18-19 I've always been into NLP and Hypnotherapy and everything else, because for about 11 years, from 18-19 to about 31 I had done insurance sales. So in insurance sales, or any sales job, you're always constantly trying to improve your mindset, trying to get better and more effective at what you're doing, and so I had known about it for a very long time. But about...0:03:45.0 Dom the Hypnotist: So I've been doing this a little bit over two years, it's been March 5th, 2019 is when I graduated my first course, but what happened was my mom, she's into personal development, she's pretty successful, she owns an insurance company or an insurance brokerage as well, through State Farm, and so she's always doing personal development, she's always going to seminars and courses and all this. And so she had went to an NLP course and she was telling me about it, and she goes, "Yeah, you learn how to do hypnosis", and this, that, and the other, "And yeah, and it only took two days to learn it." And I was like... I was kind of blown away, 'cause I thought that it was something that it would take months and months and months of training before you could get to hone in your skills, right? 0:04:32.0 Mischa Z: Yes.0:04:32.1 Dom the Hypnotist: So that's why I never really got into, 'cause I was like "I don't have the time to go through all that." So she was telling me about it, I was like, "Wow, that sounds pretty interesting." So, I don't know, a couple of months go by and she ended up surprising me with it as a Christmas gift. So Christmas of 2018 she got me a three-day introductory course. So I was like, "Wow, this is kinda cool." Honestly, best Christmas present I've ever had, to this day. So I went to the course and I had literally zero expectation of doing this for a living.0:05:05.0 Dom the Hypnotist: I was just going to get rid of my own problems I was dealing with and maybe learn like a cool trick or something, you know, "Make yourself sleep!"0:05:12.5 Mischa Z: Yes.0:05:13.8 Dom the Hypnotist: Like you see on YouTube, right? So I had, like I said, zero expectation that I was gonna do this. So I went to the course and I just fell in love with it. I was really good at it, I took to it pretty well. And after that three days I really felt a shift in myself, like I could literally feel just energy coming out of me, like I could put my hands and feel it. And I'd never felt that in my life, I always thought like the chakra stuff and all that BS, I was like "That's fake, that's not real", and then I actually felt it coming out of my chest, I was like "Oh my God... "0:05:51.8 Mischa Z: What? 0:05:52.0 Dom the Hypnotist: What was I holding on to? Like... Jesus. So I thought, I was like, "Man, if I could help people feel like this and I can do this for a living, I would way rather do this than selling insurance." So I had made a goal initially to transition from doing insurance to doing a full-blown hypnotherapy business, and I figured it would take me about six months to build up a clientele and everything else.0:06:19.0 Dom the Hypnotist: So when I got out of that course I literally had zero belief that I could charge for my services, so I had no real confidence. Because when you're in the course you're doing it with people that paid to be there, so it's a little bit easier, right? They're a little bit easier to do the process with, so I thought, "Well. Is this gonna work on people outside of the course?" right? So then I just started offering free 20-30-minute sessions through my Instagram for anybody who was interested. So within the first week I worked with 45-50 people.0:06:55.6 Dom the Hypnotist: Just any free time I had, just back to back to back to back to back. And then the second week was the same thing, so within about two weeks I worked with over 100 people, and they were like... People were promoting it on their Instagram, their Facebook and everything else. So I got to the point where I was like, "Well hey, I have so many people that wanna do this that I have to charge for my services, and I have no time to do insurance", so I remember it was literally two weeks of the day, I woke up, I actually had a full schedule that day, and I called my assistant, I said, "Hey look, call these people and tell them I'm not gonna come to the meeting. I'm done selling insurance, this is it. I'm never selling another insurance policy for the rest of my life." And then two weeks in I stopped, and then now we're here.0:07:44.0 Mischa Z: Wow, Dom, that is amazing. Thank you for that.0:07:46.5 Dom the Hypnotist: Yeah, it was like completely random. I had no... Zero intention. But I'm so thankful and grateful for my mom for doing that, 'cause had she not, who knows? I'd probably still be selling insurance, hating my life, looking for something else that's more fulfilling, and I was one of the lucky ones I guess.0:08:06.9 Mischa Z: Yeah. You know, what I love about that story too is, well, the serendipitous nature of it, obviously, is great, but clearly the tool itself in action. So...0:08:17.2 Dom the Hypnotist: Yeah. That's the main thing. Taking action? 0:08:20.6 Mischa Z: No, yeah, taking action and also the tool itself, like that tool, the gift, the serendipitous events of your mother giving you that for a gift, right? 0:08:32.5 Dom the Hypnotist: Right.0:08:33.0 Mischa Z: And then you dove in and then you do it, and then to take the action that the tool inspired in you. Right? 0:08:43.2 Dom the Hypnotist: Yeah totally. Yeah, I just became obsessed, man. I was just like... It was all I thought about. And I'm still obsessed, but you know that... It's like that new car smell or the new car you buy, for the first couple of weeks you're like, "Oh my God!" you know? 0:08:58.9 Mischa Z: Yes. And it was just so exciting. So, yeah I really... I always tell people there's the three best decisions I ever made in my life: Number one, having my daughter, number two, starting my hypnotherapy business, and number three moving to Las Vegas. So yeah, it's been great. It's been truly life-changing.0:09:21.0 Mischa Z: That's amazing. I'm just taking note on that: Your daughter, starting your hypnotherapy business, and then moving to Las Vegas.0:09:33.1 Dom the Hypnotist: It used to be, before that, it was "Man, the best decision I ever made in my life was getting out of California and moving to Las Vegas." [chuckle] But then when I had my daughter and then, you know, so it is...0:09:42.1 Mischa Z: Yes, yes, kids are amazing, we're gonna save that for the bonus round. Yeah, I have two sons, 18 and 20, at the time of this, and they are just... It's an amazing, amazing experience. Big gifts too. Alright, so let's get to the meat of the matter. I'm gonna give you a scenario and then I'm gonna ask you a question. Okay? 0:10:07.9 Dom the Hypnotist: Let's do it.0:10:08.7 Mischa Z: Alright, fantastic. So, given this scenario, think of life as a three-legged stool of relationships, finances and health. And now think of someone who was or is successful and has had two of those legs fall out from under them. So this could be a combination of divorce, career upheaval, financial stress, these kids that we're talking about, kids acting out and not going the direction we want them to. There could be physical health challenges for themselves or for a loved one, maybe a death in the family or continued failed relationships.0:10:50.0 Mischa Z: And for me it was I went through a heavy divorce, both my parents died in rapid succession, within two weeks of each other, this was all going down. My career went... This was about 10 years ago, my career went into upheaval and financial distress, and up until that point my "pull myself up from my bootstraps" mentality, that "fix-it" mentality had worked, right? But then all of a sudden I needed new tools, and it was clear. Like working my way through it, like more success, more money, more toys, was not gonna solve the problem, so I needed new tools. So my question to you is, thinking of hypnotherapy as a tool, what are the exact next steps you would offer someone like me who's in that situation so that I know I'm headed in the new right direction, that I'll have positive momentum towards getting my life back on track? 0:11:57.5 Dom the Hypnotist: Good, so it's actually funny you say that, 'cause those are the three main areas that we help people with: Health, career relationships. And usually, for the most part, when people come to us, one of the areas is good but the other two are out of whack, everything's out of balance. So there's a couple of things. One is we have to figure out why this is happening, because we are all the creators of our reality, and once we understand that then we can take back the power and begin to change.0:12:32.0 Dom the Hypnotist: One thing that you find, especially in relationship stuff, is people always wanna blame the other person for why their life is the way that they are, right? So I'll give you a prime example, one of my clients... So I know this isn't a hypnotherapy thing, but you have to understand this concept first before the hypnotherapy will work. Because if you don't understand this concept, I could do this, I could hypnotize you every single day for the rest your life and nothing will work. So you have to understand this concept of cause and effect.0:13:04.1 Dom the Hypnotist: So, a client of mine, she was telling me about how her ex was so manipulative and "He's this and he's that", and blah, blah, blah, blah. Which we've all been there before. And I stopped her and I explained to her the concept of cause and effect, and you probably know what it is but for the people who don't know, I'm just gonna explain.0:13:29.0 Mischa Z: When things happen in life we are either at cause, in other words, we take responsibility for everything that happens to us in our life. Whether it's this guy just crashed into me, rather than blaming that person, we take the responsibility, Okay, what did I do? Or What am I not doing? Or what's going on in my mind, that is creating this reality around me, what is causing this to happen? So, you're either gonna take responsibility or you're at the effect. And we're at the effect of something, it's always something outside of us. It's her, it's him. It's my boss. It's this guy, it's... It's whatever, right? So there's a problem when you're at the effect of something is you give up your power to that person or to that situation, because if it's like, Oh well, it's him doing it to me, essentially what you're saying is that that person controls you and control your life, and has the power over you. So what we have to do, no matter what it is, I don't care if you caught your wife cheating on you, if... Like I said, somebody crashed in your car, your boss fired you. I don't care how bad it is.0:14:38.7 Dom the Hypnotist: You have to take responsibility and go, okay, it's not their fault, it's my fault, yes, they did that. But what am I doing or what am I not doing that's allowing this to happen? What am I doing or not doing that's allowing people to treat me this way, right? So going back to my client, I explained this concept, but I said, "Look, he's so manipulative and all this stuff," and I said, "Is it that he's a good manipulator, or are you allowing him to manipulate you?" And it was like a light bulb went off in her head and she was like," Well... " and I said, "Well, think about this for a second.0:15:16.0 Dom the Hypnotist: Do you think your ex, boyfriend or fiance is a good manipulator? Let's say I took him and I put him with a high, high level manipulator," let's think about the general of an army is somebody whose job is to do manipulation, now, manipulation isn't always... Isn't always a bad thing? It's just... Manipulation is good or bad, right? Your heart manipulates body to perform better. So I said, "If we took him and we put him with this guy... Is he a good manipulator?" And she was like, "Yeah, yeah, I guess, you're right?" I said, "Yeah, so it's not that he's a good manipulator, you're allowing him to manipulate you, and once you realize that and you go, oh, okay. It's me that's doing it. So what am I doing or what am I not doing that's allowing him to treat me that way?" The same thing with bullies.0:16:08.0 Mischa Z: Yes.0:16:08.6 Dom the Hypnotist: People always wanna blame the bully, blame the bully, blame the bully and... Yes, I understand that, but when you take your focus off the other person. You go okay, what am I doing or not doing well? Okay, well, my body language is communicating certain things, my tonality is communicating certain things, the way that I walk, everything is communicating to this person that they can treat me this way. Now, once you realize that you go, Okay, what can I do to fix that? Well, I can do some speaking classes...0:16:35.9 Mischa Z: Can I ask you a question? 0:16:37.3 Dom the Hypnotist: Yeah, yeah, yeah.0:16:38.9 Mischa Z: So would you suggest like anybody listening, and we said, Hey, for this step number one, figure out why this is happening, and we want you to understand that you're... The effect is not them it needs to be you... Would you suggest like... Yeah, would you suggest like writing an inventory for that or write down what's that...0:17:07.5 Mischa Z: What do you mean? Which part? Write down, which part? 0:17:10.2 Dom the Hypnotist: For example, if your client, for example, they said, "I am being manipulated." So you would say, How could you help somebody, like somebody who's listening and they're going all right, I'm ready to take accountability...0:17:27.5 Dom the Hypnotist: Right, right, right.0:17:28.3 Mischa Z: Literally, how could you help them take accountability? Reframe that statement, write down what you think the problem is, my ex is a son of a bitch, why don't you reframe that or...0:17:44.4 Dom the Hypnotist: I would reframe that as, "Sorry your ex is a son of a bitch, maybe you have low standards... " right? It's true. My boss is treating me this way, well, maybe you just don't have a backbone. So again, there's no real exercise that I do with people, but when I explain this concept, people get it, they go.0:18:08.8 Mischa Z: Love it.0:18:09.5 Dom the Hypnotist: Right, yeah. I can't sit here and complain about the bully and be, it's him, it's a bully about... No, it's not, it's you... Because again, if you spoke a certain way, if you had a certain belief system about yourself, if you pick martial arts or whatever, nobody's gonna mess with you, you don't even have to say it, people just know they pick up telepathically or unconsciously they know, don't mess with that guy, right don't treat this person that way. So that's the first thing, because again if people are always blaming others and they don't take responsibility they're powerless. The other thing that's important going back to these different areas. So we all have what are called limiting beliefs and limiting decisions, so limiting belief is just a belief that we have that limits us being able to create a certain reality for ourselves. So I'll give you an example of limiting beliefs that I used to have... I used to have the belief that every time something is going good, that something bad is gonna happen, right? And a lot of people have this belief.0:19:25.5 Mischa Z: Waiting for the other shoe to drop.0:19:27.8 Dom the Hypnotist: Like, Oh, shoot, man it's getting too good. What's gonna happen? It's going to... Around the corner. Well, here's the thing, if you have that belief that therefore becomes your reality. So we will unconsciously for the most part, which means we're not aware of it, match our outside reality to match that belief. So once we get to that point, we'll self-sabotage, we'll do all these things so that we basically confirm that it's true. So when I real, I didn't even know I had that belief 'til I was 31 right, when I went through this process of... So once I realized I had it we go back, we find out what it is, So for me, what it was, you know my parents had been there like 15 and 17, they weren't, they didn't stay together, so you know, I would split time between my parents and so my mom when she was 18, she actually joined the military.0:20:19.2 Mischa Z: Okay.0:20:19.8 Dom the Hypnotist: And so by that time I was two, three years old, and when she joined the military, if you're not married, you can't live with your parent, right, so you somebody else has to watch you or whatever, if you're a single mother. I don't know if it's the same for single father... Yeah, maybe it's changed but this is 30 years ago, whatever.0:20:36.2 Mischa Z: Yeah.0:20:36.7 Dom the Hypnotist: So she ended up going off to boot camp, the whole thing, and I don't know, a year into it or whatever, she ended up meeting my stepdad and they got married. So when I was about three or four years old, when I was living with my family, splitting time between my grandparents and my dad's and all that, everything was going good, and then my mom got married, so then boom, I get shipped off and then I move across the country to Maryland right. Then we're in Maryland for a year or two. And you know, if you know anybody in the military, they move around all the time. So after about a year or two, once I'm settled in, I've got my new little friends in preschool and all that... Boom, Now we moved to Hawaii, and then we're in Hawaii for about four or five years. Everything's going good again. You know, I'm really doing excelling in sports, I have a bunch of friends, the whole thing, and then when I was about 10 years old, we had to move to Washington, and then we lived in Washington for two years. You get the point.0:21:30.5 Mischa Z: Yeah.0:21:30.5 Dom the Hypnotist: So, as subconsciously, as a survival mechanism, I developed a belief like, Hey, don't get too settled in, don't get too excited because everytime you do, something bad happens and you know, moving for a kid is a pretty traumatic experience.0:21:46.7 Mischa Z: It is.0:21:47.2 Dom the Hypnotist: You're the new kid at school. You always got a freaking like prove yourself, you gotta worry about people picking on you, the whole thing, so as a survival tool, my subconscious or unconscious mind created that belief system, so then throughout my entire life, because I had that belief, it manifested itself over and over again, right so when my relationships were really good, that would go bad or my friendships were really good, they would go bad, when I was working out and I was in great shape in the gym, everything, I would get an injury, when I was doing really well financially, I would somehow self-sabotage and put myself, you get it? So now, that I've gotten rid of that belief and I realize, Look, when things are going good, they continue to get better. And that's what happens, yeah, there's little blips and there's little days where you don't want, and things don't always go my way, but instead of it, my life being like this, it's more like this.0:22:43.8 Mischa Z: Love that.0:22:44.2 Dom the Hypnotist: You get little, little tiny bliss, but it's always consistently getting better.0:22:48.7 Mischa Z: Love it, yes.0:22:49.5 Dom the Hypnotist: So we gotta go through, limiting beliefs, and then the last thing is going through and figuring out something that's called getting rid of what we would call your negative motivation, or in other words your pain motivator, so when we're motivated in life, we are either motivated to avoid pain or we are motivated towards pleasure. Okay, so the thing with pain motivation is, it's very, very powerful right, we've all been there before, or you're super broke and you got two pennies are up together... You're pretty freaking motivated to get out of that situation, right because like, Oh my God, it's so painful, I gotta get out of it.[chuckle]0:23:31.8 Mischa Z: Necessity is the mother of invention.0:23:33.6 Dom the Hypnotist: Yeah, exactly, it's like Okay, I have to do it.0:23:36.5 Mischa Z: Yeah.0:23:36.8 Dom the Hypnotist: Well when we're in that point, you know, here's the pain, here's being broke or out of shape, or I just had a heart attack, or I just had to break up or whatever, we feel that pain. Boom! The motivation kicks in. But then what happens as soon as we're not really feeling that pain point anymore, what happens to that motivation...0:23:54.3 Mischa Z: Right it tapers off, or it's that whole.0:23:56.9 Dom the Hypnotist: We procrastinate, we make excuses, we self-sabotage, we don't show up on time, we do it, and then all the way back down where you feel that pain again and then... Boom. The motivation kicks in. So pain, motivation causes very inconsistent results, so now, pleasure motivation, which is the opposite of that, instead of focusing on what you want to... On what you want to avoid, we focus on what you want to go towards the pleasure that you wanna experience, so for example, going back to finances rather than thinking yourself, Man, I don't wanna be broke, I don't wanna be stressed out about money, I don't wanna worry about money, I don't want to... Whatever. Now you're thinking, because, here's the thing, do people not wanna be broke, no, that's not what they actually want. What they want is to have financial success or abundance or freedom or whatever it is. So once we can hyper-focus on what it is you actually want, then that over time and patience, that's, that becomes our new reality, so now what happens is, it's a little bit easier said than done.0:25:04.3 Dom the Hypnotist: We all know that, like or not everybody, but a lot of people know that. But what's happening that even though we know that, we keep going back to the pay motivators. Well, what happens... When we go through our life, you know our subconscious mind, its number one objective is protection, is survival, above everything else. So when we go through life and we experience, "negative events" and I put that in quotes because there's no such thing as a negative event, there's no such thing as a positive event, all events in life are neutral, the only thing that gives it a negative or positive is the perception of the person who's observing the event, so.0:25:40.8 Mischa Z: Love that.0:25:41.2 Dom the Hypnotist: When we "go through negative experiences" our subconscious mind will hold on to that experience because it thinks it's protecting us Right. So going to the finances, if you grew up broke, if your parents struggled with money, if you lived in a cockroach infested apartment, if you lived in a bad neighborhood, if... You know, when you're 18 years old, you got yourself into credit card debt, all these things that build up, build up, build up, will, when we're trying to focus on pulling ourselves out of that, we're like, okay, focus on the financial freedom, focus on abundance, focus on this, in the back of our head or sub-conscious is like yeah, but remember that one time? This happened, remember when you grew up. And this happened.0:26:23.4 Dom the Hypnotist: What we have to do is we have to go back and we have to resolve all the "negative events" that we're holding on to subconsciously, and then once you resolve it and our subconscious goes, "Oh, that wasn't a negative event, it was actually a positive experience that's helping me in my life." Then you just clean all that stuff out, and now when you start to focus on your future abundance, creating success, everything else, then it's much, much easier because you've resolved all that stuff. Does that make sense? 0:26:51.1 Mischa Z: It does. It makes absolute sense.0:26:53.2 Dom the Hypnotist: And the other thing is, we get what we focus on. So if we focus on what we don't want, that's exactly what we get. We've all heard, don't look at the color black, don't see the color black, don't notice it... And then black is everywhere, right? So maybe it's I don't wanna be broke, I don't wanna be stressed, I don't wanna be worried. Your reticular activating system going, "Alright, Dom wants to be broke, he wants to be stressed, he wants to be worried," and then we'll self-sabotage, so... And it's the same thing in relationships, it's the same thing with health. So that's what I would tell people if they are struggling in those lives, number one, take back responsibility, find out what your limiting beliefs are, get rid of them, and then get rid of that pain motivation, so you can make the things in your life happen at a rapid pace.0:27:34.6 Mischa Z: That's beautiful, that's beautiful. When you're doing your work with a client and they roll in and they're open-minded, how... I guess then you would start implementing the hypnotherapy techniques that you use, what's the arc of change of... I'm not sure if I'm asking this right, but how soon could somebody feel better? And I'm not saying they have to have riches or a new relationship or be back in fighting shape, but perhaps they get that relief or that assurance that, yeah, I'm heading in the right direction.0:28:20.9 Dom the Hypnotist: I tell people all the time, I'm a hypnotist, I'm not a magician. So I can only facilitate, I can't magically make you rich, I can't magically... You have to meet me halfway. So when I work with clients, I give them certain homework assignments, things to do, because it's a do-with process, it's not just, I'm gonna lay here and do all this and then magically in a month from now, I'm gonna win a million dollars in a lottery. Okay. Yeah, maybe that can happen, totally, but we're gonna be realistic. So to answer your question right away, so when people... Number one, many of us have beliefs that we're unconscious to, right? We're not aware of it. Like I told you, I had the belief that every time something's going good, something's going bad, or something bad is gonna happen. I didn't know that until I was 31. So when you become conscious of the limiting beliefs and things that you have that are going on, that in and of itself, just becoming aware of it, will start to release those limiting beliefs, right? 0:29:21.5 Dom the Hypnotist: So I have a client recently, we did our first session, and her whole thing was like, she made great money, but somehow she would always give it back, always give it back, always give it back. And what it was... And she wasn't aware of this when we brought it to her conscious what it was, is that throughout her life, her dad basically was always like her hero, right? He would always come and save the day ever since she was a kid, and then throughout high school her car would break down, dad's there to fix it. This happened and dad's got the money. So unconsciously, she was doing that, basically self-sabotaging her life so that her dad can come and save her, because she wanted to fill that from her dad, and then she knows that her dad wants to feel that... Wants to be that hero.0:30:11.8 Mischa Z: Yeah, he wants to be the hero.0:30:13.2 Dom the Hypnotist: Exactly, and it was so funny when she was telling me that I'm getting... I don't know why I'm getting the chills talking about this, but it's just... It's just funny, I'm thinking about my daughter. But it's so funny because that's how dads are, that's kind of like what we do. And I was watching a movie a week before that, and in the movie, everything starts going bad with the family and the dad, the daughter was not really connecting with the dad, and she's like, "Yeah, whatever, dad." That kind of attitude. And then when the family got into a sticky situation, the dad was like, "I've been waiting for this moment in my entire life," and I was like, I know what you mean. Sometimes I wish somebody would do something so I can be the hero. So it's like, once she became aware of that, all of a sudden she's like, "Oh, I'm doing this little dance with my dad, and it's how we filled our relationship and it's not necessary." And then within that moment, now that she's aware of it, when she starts to do it again, she go, "No, no, no, this is not right. This is only enabling me to continue to self-sabotage, so I have to stop, set up boundaries," that's another thing, setting up boundaries between you and others and yourself. And so yeah, so right away, that was our...0:31:24.6 Mischa Z: That's beautiful.0:31:26.1 Dom the Hypnotist: Our second session is next week, but yeah, she literally... And she's like, "I can't believe what just came to mind. I never would have thought," and there were some other stuff in there as well. But yeah, one session right away.0:31:39.5 Mischa Z: Beautiful, thank you so much for that. I have a question for you. You said homework assignments, why don't you go down your top three or four homework assignments that you have people do, if you'd be willing to do that. Yeah.0:31:53.5 Dom the Hypnotist: Some homework assignments are gonna be specific to that person, so for example, her, she's unconsciously spending money, spending money, spending money, so we have to have her track her finances, what is she spending on a daily basis? If somebody is overweight, they're unconscious to how many calories they're consuming on a daily basis, so we have to get them to track their calories so they can be aware of it consciously, right? 'Cause if you don't know how many calories you're eating, you're at 3000-4000 for the day, you have no clue. But when you track it and you're at 2000, you go, "Oh, shoot, do I really wanna eat this extra, whatever?" And then you're probably gonna know it's not... And then it'll be... It'll go away. So a lot of it is tailored to specific people, but then there are certain things that I'll have everybody do. So one thing is making a list of everything that you don't want in your life. I don't wanna have anxiety. I don't wanna...0:32:44.6 Dom the Hypnotist: I don't wanna feel depressed anymore, I don't want to be broke, I don't wanna be alone. I don't want whatever. Everything you can imagine that is in your mind that you don't want. Okay? So the purpose of writing that down is because... So there's the four stages of learning. The first stage of learning is what we call unconscious incompetence. So unconscious means we're not aware, and incompetence, we're doing something wrong. So most of the time, like I said, every time something's going good, something's going bad, I was unconscious incompetent. I had no idea that that was a belief that I had.0:33:21.5 Mischa Z: Ignorant. We're just ignorant to it.0:33:23.0 Dom the Hypnotist: 'Cause we're ignorant to it. So once you write it on paper and you sit there and you think, and you really put your mind into it, certain things will be like, "Okay, these are obvious." But then other things will pop up like, Oh, I wouldn't realize I was thinking about that. Okay, good.0:33:37.7 Mischa Z: So good.0:33:39.1 Dom the Hypnotist: Then what we do... So once you do that, you graduate to the second stage of learning, which is conscious competence... Sorry, conscious incompetence. So now you're still doing it wrong, but you're aware of what you're doing wrong, so you can at least identify it.0:33:57.7 Mischa Z: I love it.0:33:58.3 Dom the Hypnotist: So that's... When we write it down, we go, Okay, this is what I'm doing wrong. Then what I have them do is I'll take that piece of paper and I have them write down what it is that they actually want instead. Okay. And I remind them in a specific way. Now, the reason we're doing this going back to the pain, motivation, pleasure, is because again, somebody doesn't actually not want anxiety. What do they want? They wanna feel calm, they wanna feel at peace, they wanna feel confident, they wanna believe in themselves, they wanna... Whatever. So those are two different pictures in our mind. When you're thinking about, I don't want anxiety, when you think about I don't want anxiety, you feel anxious.0:34:38.7 Dom the Hypnotist: But when you think about, Okay, I wanna feel confident and secure and calm or whatever, you get a completely different picture, and then thoughts create pictures in our mind, those pictures create feelings in our body and then we act based off those feelings. So if we're always thinking, I don't want anxiety, I don't want anxiety, I don't want anxiety, our pictures in our mind is anxiety, anxiety, anxiety. We feel anxious and we act anxious. But if it's calm, confident, whatever, it creates a different picture. So I have them flip it. So then by doing that, they graduate to the third stage of learning, which is conscious competence. So they're... Competence means they're doing it right, but they have to make a conscious effort. They have to... Oh wait, I'm having that negative thought, switch it to this.0:35:24.8 Mischa Z: Love it.0:35:25.7 Dom the Hypnotist: And then what will happen is through the process of doing the work that we do, releasing negative emotions, beliefs, all this other stuff, is they will graduate to the fourth stage of learning, which is unconscious competence, which means you're doing it correctly and you don't even know you're doing it correctly.0:35:41.9 Dom the Hypnotist: We've all done this before. The first time you learn how to drive, you don't know what... You're using two feet, you're all jacked up, you don't even know you're doing it wrong. And then your dad goes, Hey, it's one foot dude. Take it off the gas. So then the next time you go to do it, you're like, Oh, wait a minute. And then you make that conscious effort like, "Wait, take my foot off. Okay. Press the gas, press the break." And then after doing it for a little while, we're freaking talking on the phone, typing in our GPS, driving on the freeway, doing all this crazy stuff, and we're just unconsciously competent. So that's the level that we get to, is having it to where their brain is just programmed to automatically visualize and to think about what it is they want, the pleasure motivation instead. Now, there's something really important, and this may help a lot of people because we've all done affirmations before or tried it or heard about it.0:36:38.0 Dom the Hypnotist: But how many times do those affirmations come true. Not a lot. Okay. And there's a couple of reasons why. Number one is, most of the time, sometimes you'll hear like a 30-year guru who's been in the personal development space for a really long time, and they're very, very successful and they've done it, they have proof, track record, the whole thing. And they'll say, "Okay, you just have to write down: I am a millionaire every day." Until it comes true. The problem with that is that when we affirm things that aren't true, our subconscious mind will not take it on as a suggestion. So if I just sit here, watch... We'll do it together, Mischa. Close your eyes.0:37:27.0 Mischa Z: Okay.0:37:28.9 Dom the Hypnotist: Say what's... Well, let's say, I don't know, maybe you are worth this kind of money, I don't know. But let's say in your head, I'm worth $10 million.0:37:38.8 Mischa Z: Okay.0:37:39.5 Dom the Hypnotist: Okay. Now, what does that little voice in your head tell you? 0:37:43.5 Mischa Z: Yeah, right. [laughter]0:37:44.1 Dom the Hypnotist: Yeah, right. Exactly. So imagine every day you're writing, you're affirming something that isn't true, isn't true, isn't true, isn't true, your subconscious is rejecting it. It's actually causing more harm than good, because here's what happens. Imagine you're in a relationship with somebody, and all they did was lie to you every day. Well, eventually you're gonna stop believing the things that they say and you're gonna have distrust. So our conscious mind is like the father, the mother, the parent, and our subconscious mind is like the child. Most of us don't realize that our subconscious is in the background, it's operating on its own. So if you're constantly lying to your child, your child is like, "Hey man, I don't believe anything you're saying." So when you create that distrust, it actually has the opposite effect. Now, what we wanna do, again, as a parent, we wanna build trust between our children so that our children will trust us and believe the things that we say. So when we affirm things, we have to affirm things that are actually true. So close your eyes again. Now, I don't know, I don't know, what's a financial goal that you have that you haven't achieved yet, that you want. Let's say a million dollars, 10 million, whatever.0:38:57.3 Mischa Z: Yeah. Okay. Let's say, let's say liquid for $2 million.0:39:01.5 Dom the Hypnotist: Perfect. So I want you to say, I am focused on being... Creating $2 million in liquid assets.0:39:11.6 Mischa Z: I am focused on...0:39:14.2 Dom the Hypnotist: Creating $2 million in liquid assets.0:39:16.4 Mischa Z: Good. I am focused on creating $2 million in liquid assets.0:39:20.7 Dom the Hypnotist: Perfect. Now, what does that little voice tell you and how does it feel now? 0:39:24.4 Mischa Z: Yeah, feels good. I'm like, "Heck, yeah. Let's get this done."0:39:28.0 Dom the Hypnotist: Right. Yeah. You feel it, you...0:39:29.9 Mischa Z: Yeah. Dude, literally, my house just got lighter. I'm like...0:39:35.4 Dom the Hypnotist: Yeah, you're like... Because now it's true. You are focused on creating that and you don't have it now, and that's okay, but now your subconscious goes, "Okay, that's what we're focused on? We're focused on creating two million dollars?" I don't care if you have two dollars in your bank account or 200000. If you are at that whatever level that is true, so then once it's true, your subconscious will take it on as a suggestion. And once it takes on as a suggestion, it will allow you to start to manifest that into your reality. But again, going back to the guru, sometimes they're so far removed from where they were 30 years ago that they forget... Yeah, they did want this to come true, but they were more focused on the realistic steps to get there, right? 0:40:18.4 Mischa Z: Yeah, yeah.0:40:19.9 Dom the Hypnotist: And that's another major thing with the homework, to answer your question, to circle back, so when I have them write that, I don't have them say I want this because they're in the feeling, in the space of wanting. We don't wanna necessarily want something because that doesn't necessarily mean you're gonna get it. But if I tell them I am focused on creating or becoming. Now it's more of, "Okay, I don't have that but I'm making it happen." I'm in the process of doing it as opposed to, I want this, right? It's a different frame of mind.0:40:54.1 Mischa Z: Yeah.0:40:54.4 Dom the Hypnotist: So let's say... So that's another thing and then the other thing is, if there is anything I can go back and tell my younger self, this would probably be it, is to create realistic goals that you can achieve, small, little achievable steps that you can build on because...0:41:12.2 Mischa Z: Yeah.0:41:14.0 Dom the Hypnotist: Again, you hear somebody say, "Oh, just think big and be worth 100 million or a billion." And then what would most of us do? We think about that and we go, "That'll never happen. That seems impossible. What if this happens? What if I get sued? What if this... What about if I have a problem with the police? How am I gonna get insured? And then we go, "Forget it. I don't wanna do it." Right? So it's kind of like this, Why can't you Mischa and when I say Mischa, I want you to build me a... I don't know, maybe you could do this but let's just assume you can't. I want you to build me a...0:41:41.9 Mischa Z: We'll find out.0:41:43.8 Dom the Hypnotist: Right? 0:41:47.7 Mischa Z: Okay.0:41:48.3 Dom the Hypnotist: How overwhelmed would you be at the thought of building a house? 0:41:49.6 Mischa Z: Yeah, it would be fairly overwhelming, for sure.0:41:51.9 Dom the Hypnotist: It'll be very overwhelming. And even if I said, "Look, Mischa it's a two million-dollar, 3 million-dollar house, you can have it free and clear, you just gotta figure out how to build it."0:42:00.5 Mischa Z: Yeah.0:42:01.3 Dom the Hypnotist: It would still be like, "Yeah, that sounds great but I don't know where to start." Right? 0:42:04.7 Mischa Z: Yeah. Yes. Ironically, I do have some experience and I could probably make it happen. But anyway, I get it. I get it, I'm sorry. No, I know.0:42:18.1 Dom the Hypnotist: What's that? 0:42:19.8 Mischa Z: I said, "I don't know." I just... It was funny, I thought I would cope to that. But go on, yes.0:42:25.8 Dom the Hypnotist: So, well what's the first thing you do before you build a house? You don't build the house. What do you do before that? Well, first you gotta find the piece of land that you're gonna build it on, right? And then you gotta get plans. You gotta do all that, but let's assume you have the plans all figured out. The first thing is I gotta go check this piece of land. I just gotta get the weeds and the trash and the grass, anything. I gotta get it cleaned out, right? That's the first step. Now, most people go, "Yeah, I could do that. That seems pretty easy. How hard can that be? I'm just cleaning it up." Right? 0:42:57.6 Mischa Z: Yeah.0:42:58.4 Dom the Hypnotist: Okay, cool. Now we gotta figure out how to flatten it out and some people might think, "Oh my God, I don't know how would I do that?" Think about it. If you had a 10 x 10 foot piece of land like the size of a small room...0:43:10.0 Mischa Z: Yeah.0:43:10.5 Dom the Hypnotist: You could figure out how to make that thing level. So if you could figure that out, you just duplicate your efforts.0:43:15.7 Mischa Z: Love it.0:43:16.4 Dom the Hypnotist: And go through the whole process, right? And then...0:43:17.4 Mischa Z: So good.0:43:17.4 Dom the Hypnotist: Step by step by step, you'd get there.0:43:21.2 Mischa Z: It's beautiful.0:43:21.9 Dom the Hypnotist: But what most people do is they put 90% of their attention on the house and 10% or zero on the what's the next step.0:43:32.5 Mischa Z: Yeah.0:43:32.9 Dom the Hypnotist: But really what we wanna do is we wanna flip it. So 10%, 'cause you still wanna have an idea of where you're going and what...0:43:40.8 Mischa Z: Yeah, the vision.0:43:41.7 Dom the Hypnotist: Yeah, the you wanna have the vision so 10, 20% goes on the house, and the other 80, 90% is what's the next step. What's the next step? 0:43:49.3 Mischa Z: It's beautiful.0:43:49.9 Dom the Hypnotist: What's the next step? 0:43:50.8 Mischa Z: It's beautiful.0:43:53.5 Dom the Hypnotist: So most people, when they come to me, they just have unrealistic expectations. I wanna lose 60 pounds. When's the last time you lost five pounds? [laughter]0:44:00.1 Dom the Hypnotist: Okay, so let's get to five pounds. Okay, cool. Then they get excited like, "Yeah, I could lose five pounds in two weeks. Cool." Then they do that, Okay, listen to... And then through time and patience and breaking it down before you know it, they're 60 pounds lighter and they're in the best shape of their life, right? So same thing financially. Rather than the 2 million, it's like, "Okay, I gotta save up. How do I get to 10 thousand, 20 thousand, 30, 50, 100, right? 0:44:22.9 Mischa Z: Yeah. It's beautiful. Dom, so so so good. Thank you for the last nuggets there. I'm gonna cut us off here really quick, and I think you've just over-delivered in such a massive way, so thank you, and thank you for... That little visualization was so good.0:44:44.9 Dom the Hypnotist: I am focused on creating today, yeah.0:44:46.7 Mischa Z: Yeah, it's beautiful. And so, audience here everyone who's listening and partaking, if this interview with Dom was fantastic and you wanna get even more content from Dom, upgrade to the all X all access pass for that bonus interview. And any final thoughts that we did not get a chance to cover, Dom? 0:45:13.1 Dom the Hypnotist: I mean, if you're thinking about signing up for this program or doing any personal development, this is what I always tell people, "Look, if you're on the fence"... I don't know how much it is or whatever, but if you're on the fence about it, I always think, "Okay, what's the worse gonna happen? You're gonna sign up for this plan and then maybe you don't really get much out of it. But on the upside potential, if you even just get one little nugget out of whatever, the VIP training and program...0:45:39.3 Mischa Z: Yeah.0:45:40.8 Dom the Hypnotist: Now, I know even one nugget, maybe certain people buy with this, certain people don't, and there's gonna be that person or those people they go, "Oh yeah, I have that same stupid belief, oh my God." Or "I've been thinking about doing too big too soon, and I gotta bring it." So even just one nugget, was worth whatever the cost of the VIP training is. So if you're on the fence about it, just freaking do it and I know it will be worth it.0:46:07.9 Mischa Z: I love that. Thank you so much for that Dom. And again, they can... Or not again, everybody can find you at domthehypnotist.com, and they can actually...0:46:23.1 Dom the Hypnotist: Go to... It's better if you find me on Instagram or YouTube. Those are the two main platforms that I interface with people with.0:46:28.1 Mischa Z: Okay.0:46:30.3 Dom the Hypnotist: So yeah, if you wanna go on there and then... Are you talking about to do a consultation, is that...0:46:33.5 Mischa Z: Yes, so I was just gonna say for a consultation, they can get a free consultation so go ahead and tell them where they can do that.0:46:38.6 Dom the Hypnotist: Yeah, yeah. So if you go on to my YouTube or on my Instagram, and I don't know if you're gonna have a link, I can send you the link to schedule a consultation, but if any of this stuff kind of buy with you and you thought like, "Okay, yeah." There are certain things that I don't help people with 'cause I don't feel I'm the best person for it, and a lot of times I have to turn people... I turn more people away than I accept just because I can't help everybody with every problem, right? So I don't feel like if somebody has a drinking problem... And it's not that I don't wanna help them, it's just that I've never experienced that, and so I don't know what it's like, so I really can't connect on that level. I'm not confident in myself that I could help somebody quit drinking. So quit drinking, quit smoking, things like that, it's not really my thing. But again, the relationship stuff, the health stuff, the career stuff, if that is something, fill out the... Click the link I'll share it with you... Fill out the form. If it's something we feel like we can help you with, that we can honestly and truly help you improve on, then we'll schedule a consultation with someone from my team and they go through and see if we'd be a good fit.0:47:42.2 Mischa Z: Perfect, perfect. Fantastic. And the link is next to this interview, so anybody watching, please click on the link. Get your free consultation, and then, where was I here?

We're going to try a meditation. And the purpose of this meditation is to let go of judgment and our ideas of people. So we can perhaps see them in a new light. So Let's get started. This meditation will take probably 6, 7, 8 minutes, and we're going to start with breathing. I'm outside in the wind. So I'm trying to get situated. And it's kind of funny. Okay. So I want you to sit comfortably in your chair. I want to you to start taking some long, deep breaths. So big breath in. Now, big breath out. Big breath in. Long breath out. Continue with these long breaths in through your nose And out through your nose. I want you to roll your head from side to side. As you relax and loosen your neck with your long breaths, Feel the vertebrae, vertebrae crunching, perhaps. Your arms, let them dangle by your sides. And perhaps gently shake out your arms, release that energy, Continue breathing with me long breasts and through the nose. Long breath out through the nose. Being gentle and kind to your, your body, your thoughts, your mind. I'm going to read a few sentences. "Let us be still an instant and forget all things we ever learned. All thoughts we had. And every preconception that we hold of what things mean and what their purpose is."Mischa Z: 03:39 Let's sit quiet quietly with that thought, As you breathe in through your nose, Out through your nose, I'm going to read that again. "Let us be still an instant and forget all things we ever learned. All thoughts we had and every preconception that we hold of what things mean and what their purpose is." And let's sit quietly for a minute as that thought swirls through our mind.Mischa Z: 04:56 Next sentence. As we continue to breathe deep breaths in and deep breaths out, "Let us forget our own ideas of what the world is for. We do not know." Long breaths in through the nose.Mischa Z: 05:54 Perhaps you hear a car drive by as you sit still, Perhaps you hear a bird chirp in the background. Perhaps you hear my wind chimes ringing, gently. Use these sounds to free your mind and loose your brain of those thoughts, those preconceptions. Ideas of what we think the world is for. And our last sentence. Last thought. "Let every image held of everyone, be loosened from our minds and swept away." Breathe that in. Long breath out. That is worth another read. "Let every image held of everyone, be loosened from our minds and swept away."Mischa Z: 07:57 I want you to use this time to see the space, to release your thoughts of judgment, of places, things, and for, particularly people. And let innocence and new and freeing thoughts flow through, Which will allow you to see people, even people that you think, you know, in a fresh new light. Take a big breath in. Long breath out through the mouth. If your eyes are closed, blink your eyes open and roll your neck from side to side, give yourself a big hug and take these new, fresh thoughts, awareness ,perception out into your day. Thank you for participating in meditation number one on the Bitch Slap Accelerated Path To Peace Podcast.

I finish "Man's Search For Meaning" on my camping trip.  And looking up the side of the mountain I immediately have an opportunity to put his ideas in practice.  It's better than NetFlix!Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Z: 00:03 All right. Victor E Frankl, Frankl Frankl. Yes. Victor E Frankl. "Man's Search For Meaning" more thoughts of my camping trip. Um, on the last episode, I was going to say how Victor Frankl perhaps inspired me, or I got to draw a direct correlation between service and, um, how Victor Frankel thinks what drives man is meaning having meaning in your life. And Victor breaks it down into three main ways. It's not necessarily what I'm going to do on this episode because I've not prepared. Gosh, you'd hope I would be, but there's lots of winging it these days. Um, it seems that there's always something going on. Let it rip, let it rip, take the messy action. Anybody out there wanting to create a podcast, a blog, a YouTube channel who wants to start, you know, getting their thoughts, ideas, their message out there, or maybe they just want to entertain who knows what the motive is, but they want to use a blog, a YouTube channel, um, a podcast as a mechanism for this or this, the source to do that.Mischa Z: 01:29 Take the messy action. Just take the messy action. That's what I'm going to tell you because you probably, well, I'm guessing you don't have an audience yet, so no one's going to be there to judge you. And if you do have an audience while they know who you are anyways, so no big deal take the messy action is which what I seem to be gifted with doing, taking the messy action on my podcast. So Viktor Frankl, um, you know, one of the things he talks about is his, his meaning how having a purpose in your life, and it does not have to be big and it doesn't have to be, it's having meaning in the moment. That's what it is. It's having meaning meaning in the moment. And he talks a lot about it in regards to the concentration camp experience and how people can derive meaning in life, even though they're headed towards death rapidly or they're seeing it or, or all of this.Mischa Z: 02:40 And I am, I'm hesitant to talk about it because it's so extreme. And I'm a white boy from Wyoming who now lives in Encinitas, California making podcast episodes. So, um, one thing I had been saying to a few friends is, you know, as we're trying to detach from controlling people, places and things, and trying to learn how to find joy or meaning in, in the moment and cede control of, of how we think people are supposed to act, feel, think what they're supposed to do, you know, as we're scaling God up bigger and bigger, and then, you know, inevitably someone brings these extreme circumstances of murderers and rapists and, you know, military leaders or, you know, leaders who do lots of damage. Right? And I had this thought of like, well, can we have our god so big and trust so much that there is something greater than this moment of our human existence, that if we were to have an executioner or we could smile lovingly to that executioner, or as they were opening the door to, you know, the, the, the hangman's noose for us, and I'm doing the best I can to talk about that idea, to be willing, to talk about that idea, to conceptualize that idea, given my, given my circumstances.Mischa Z: 04:35 Um, and so fast forward to reading Victor Frankel's book, and then in essence, he's talking about love and finding meaning in the moment as you're, you know, suffering extremely and perhaps dying, um, or being put to death. Um, I'm going to still work on how to talk about that. I think they're, they're interesting ideas. One idea that he floats is, um, is like: if you put even a small amount of gas in an enclosed space, the gas evenly distributes through that space, perfectly, and he correlates that to that, to suffering. He's like, so it doesn't matter how much suffering you have in a human consciousness. If it's a little, it's going to fill up the space. Same as gas fills up the void. And so he's like, Hey, his thesis is suffering a suffering, which is pretty crazy, right? Cause this dude went through for three years in four concentration camps.Mischa Z: 06:07 Um, anyway, I get my, thank you for listening to that. I'm going to try to continue to talk about the ideas that were sussed out, um, by Viktor Frankl in his book and within me. And one thing was, is finding meaning one way to find meaning is service. How can you serve in the moment? And, uh, I love that because I'm all about service. I've talked about it on other episodes. It's a big part of, you know, recovery of the recovery community is carrying the message. How can you be of service? And it's obviously within churches and religions and, and there's plenty of nonprofits out there. And so it's, it's this, isn't a new idea by any means on a big scale, as well as on a small scale. Being nice, forgiving, smiling, opening the door for somebody. Like it can be the tiniest things, a gracious nod, letting somebody in within traffic, like letting somebody in without throwing a fit, flipping them off. You know, if somebody cuts you off graciously, be cut off smile, wave. Thank you.Mischa Z: 07:31 Um, so it's, it's about nine o'clock at night on the camping trip and it's dark and there is a heavy, there's this part of a climb to get to the next lake. I wish I could remember what it is, but it was up heavy, heavy, like you almost wanted to have ropes, but you know, people were doing it with backpacks and things. But a couple of guys we look up and all of a sudden we see headlamps at nine o'clock at night, scaling down this chute to get back to crater, to, um, iceberg lake. And, um, it was hard enough for people to do that part of the hike in daylight let alone at night. So it was, it was honestly better than watching Netflix because it's a very far away, but you can see the two headlight beams and a very dramatic, very dramatic.Mischa Z: 08:31 They make it that it takes them half an hour, 45 minutes, whatever it is. And, um, they walked by us because the trail goes by our campsite and we're talking to them for a second. And I say, Hey, I'm inspired all of a sudden, Hey, do you guys need a campsite? Because they're clearly tired by now. It's 10 o'clock at night and you can't see anything to find a campsite. And, um, I happened to know where a couple of campsites were and they were so relieved and so excited and so happy. And, um, and I just thought of Victor Frankl and being of service and, and how in that moment after just finishing his book, I got to ask those guys if I could help them with a campsite. And we showed him this, uh, ridiculous campsite that we found, and they were just so happy.Mischa Z: 09:28 And, you know, I was gratified in the moment gratified in that I had meaning. And, um, it was just a really cool experience and to be in nature, just feeling the whole vibe of that, all the flow of it all. And, uh, yes, I'm doing a quick time check. Um, that's what I've got for you. The serendipitous events that led to me finishing the whole book and then yeah, I would encourage anybody to read "Man's Search For Meaning". Great, great book, just a great, great book. And I'll talk more about it. Love to all again, I'm going to say, get your tails out there and go camping. Get out in nature detached for two or three days, if you can, but I guess you can do silent retreats, all sorts of things. Um, many people are doing that. I'm just going to encourage you to do it again. If you have done it and absolutely get out there, if you haven't. All right, I'm done peace out.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

I brought one book on my camping trip.  Victor E Frankl’s “Man's Search For Meaning".  And circumstances allowed me to read the whole thing.  And after a long hike there is nothing like jumping in a mountain lake and drying off on a granite slab.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Z: 00:04 This episode is going to be more, well, this episode is going to be about "Man's Search For Meaning". "Man's Search For Meaning", Victor E Frankl, and not necessarily about the book, but just about an idea that I had on how to, how to talk about the book, I suppose. Um, and then the serendipitous events on how I got to read the whole book during my camping trip. So again, if you're just jumping in, I just got back from this amazing two or three day camping trip at, uh, at mammoth lakes in mammoth, um, which is in the Southern Sierras, I believe, you'd think I'd know. Um, anyhow, uh, so I go on this trip on this camping trip. I bring a book. This book happens to be "Man's Search For Meaning" Viktor E Frankl. I just noticed too, I'm a trip that his name is Victor E victory.Mischa Z: 01:14 I mean, how great is that? I cannot believe I've never noticed that before. So I bring Victor Victor's book, "Man's Search For Meaning" with me and plan on reading. Some of it I don't was absolutely not planning on reading the whole thing. But the hike and was pretty strenuous for me. It was a good, you know, eight miles plus, uh, you know, two or 3000 elevation gain. And you've got a 25 pound pack on 25 pound plus pack on. And so that can be...it was hard on my knees. I'll just be honest with you. So I was definitely knees were sore on day two. So day one, we hike up there. It's beautiful. Great hike. Just unbelievable. We pass, um, a few lakes. Let's see if I can remember what they are. Ghost lake, I think was one of them. I doesn't matter. We ended up at the third lake, however, iceberg lake iceberg lake, which I've talked about and we got to jump in iceberg lake and then lay on the granite, which is just so good. If anybody, if you have an opportunity to jump on a mountain lake that is ice cold and then dry off and heat yourself on a granite slab mother earth, it does not get much better.Mischa Z: 02:44 So the next day we were planning on doing a 10 mile hike with a little bit of elevation gained, moving on to another campsite. But my knees were pretty sore. And I talked about this on a previous episode two ago, maybe, but that I was being encouraged to hike by my camping partner, Kyle, hello, Kyle, if you're listening and Kyle was like, Hey, let's go. And I was like, I listened to my body and did the self care and was like, no, I am not going. I need a down day. And I cannot tell you what a miracle that is because oftentimes I will just push through it, take some Advil, you know, charge, make it happen, like be strong. And uh, I said, you know what? The universe is telling me, "listen to your body". And I did. And thank goodness I did. So that gave me a full day to hang out at Iceberg lake, which is about, I think it's, you know, nine or 10 it's.Mischa Z: 04:00 I think it was 9,800 feet elevation God's country. It is so beautiful. Just this lake is surrounded on all sides by these massive granted peaks, you know? Um, and then the outlet is where you hike up. That's where the, the, the, um, the lake, you know, turns... The river, drains down, you know, drains out of, out of this out of, I don't know how if I'm saying this right, but it's just beautiful. And the solitude is incredible and the quiet is incredible. And, um, you're far enough out there that a couple people you run into. Um, and so I had an opportunity to dive into "Man's Search For Meaning ",Viktor Frankl and what an intense, heavy, deep book, um, you know, ultimately Viktor Frankl, Viktor Frankl was, and, uh, the death camps during world war II, you know, he started at Auschwitz and then went to three others.Mischa Z: 05:13 So for three years, and he somehow survived and, you know, hence Man's Search For Meaning. And he, you know, he defines his logo therapy, L O G O therapy. I'm not sure if I'm saying that right, but logo, I believe is Latin for "meaning". I believe it is. Anyway. I'll dig back in. I'm not necessarily, this episode is not necessarily to tell you about the meaning of the book, but just to say, I had an opportunity to read the book. And at the same time I need to start. Part of my project is to go on to you...pick three to five groups. Facebook groups that have combined a combined audience of a hundred thousand people. And then you start every day, you do a value post. So a post that adds value to each of those groups, your three to five groups. And every day you answer, it's either two or three questions.Mischa Z: 06:23 Um, question threads, there is three, three questions per group. So to build that habit, those are next steps for me. And so "Man's Search For Meaning”. I just dog-eared so many pages. There were so many great, great sentences and bits of awareness. So my thought was, and hopefully I'll be able to turn some of those inspirations into podcast episodes, but for now I'll finish my thought. It was to take those sentences and create a value post for the group. So what's the sentence. Perhaps I could relate it to an experience of my life in my life. Bam, there's a value post. And that was very exciting to me to be like, oh yes, here's a way here is a way that you can do these daily posts, add value, hopefully create some inspiration or some, you know, some contemplation for people. And then hopefully you inspire them and you inspire them enough that they come look at your Facebook page.Mischa Z: 07:39 Hey, where, who is this guy? Mischa, that's talking about giving us these value bobs as what you'd call them. So that's the theory. So you have that to look forward. You have you get to hear me talk about my progress with that. Does this, as a way to build an audience and to suss out your perfect customer, does it work? Is it effective? And, uh. I thought it was really cool that I listened to my body, held the boundary with my camping friend. Kyle. Stayed at the campsite, just meditated and rested and relaxed and detached and read "Man's Search For Meaning" and had all this great inspiration. So there you have it. I think that's enough for me. I hope I've closed the loop. I'll open another loop. The other loop is next episode. I'm going to talk about how in "Man's Search For Meaning" part of what Victor Frankel's theory is, is that meaning is what drives man, and not pleasure, as Freud says, but meaning. Having meaning and he breaks down meaning and all sorts of cool ways, three ways in particular actually. And they don't have to be...You can still find meaning in the face of your executioner. Which is one thing which is pretty wow. Right? That's what he's talking about. I'm not going to claim to have no that, um, but he does talk about that. But he talks about being of service as one of the ways, you know? Um, and I'm going to tell you how I got to be of service literally after I finished the book. So fun. All right. Love to all.

Camping was so good.  Hiking for long miles with a heavy backpack.  And then jumping in the ice cold mountain lakes.  And then laying on the granite slabs in the hot sun.  Connecting with mother earth.   And how freeing it was to purposely let go of my routines. Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Z: 00:02 I am back from camping and I am BEAT down in a good way. What I want to relate that to is, um, uh, upsetting my routine. Upsetting my routine. And in this case, I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. So routines are awesome. They can be great. I've got a great routine of prayer, meditation, journaling, um, um, A Course In Miracles, you know, reading that every day. And, uh, and so this camping trip through a lot of that in the upheaval and it definitely the timing of those things. And I think it was good. First off, I have been religiously reading A Course In Miracles for at least two years. If I knew the exact date, it would be very fun to know coming up on two years, September, um, I believe would be two years. Yes. Because two years ago, September, I went to, um, where was it called?Mischa Z: 01:23 Yosemite? I went camping and you're 70. So this is really cool. This camping trip was really cool. And the number of levels first off due to the COVID, I hadn't been camping in two, almost two whole years. So, um, last camping trip I did was to Yosemite, which was beautiful and amazing, and we hiked a good 10 miles back into Yosemite. And one of the great things about Yosemite was laying on these granite slabs after swimming in ice cold water. So you hike all day with your 25 pound backpack, 30 pound backpack, whatever it is. And, and then, you know, you get to where you're going, hot, sweaty beat down, me anyway. And then, uh, you jump in these incredible mountains, rivers, streams, lakes, and then it, you know, in Yosemite lay on these granite slabs that are, you know, have been baking in the sun.Mischa Z: 02:36 And it's such a cool way to connect with mother earth and soak in that energy. So powerful. Um, I had an opportunity to do the same sort of a thing up and, um, mammoth lakes, where we went iceberg lake, so hiked all day, lots of elevation game, um, and then to, uh, jump in the iceberg lake, which was called as an iceberg and then lay on the granite and, uh, so, so powerful. Just, gosh, this is nothing like it. Um, anyhow, thank you for listening to that little tangent. I do. I love camping and I think it's so good to get out of nature and oftentimes away from people and or away from mass masses of people, and then also disconnect from the phone. So there was no cell service at all for three days or whatever it was. Um, but I had just started A Course In Miracles when I had gone to Yosemite.Mischa Z: 03:51 I was probably two weeks into A Course In Miracles into the what's called the "workbook for students", which is 365 daily exercises. Some of them are very, um, intense and take a lot. So it's not like a simple little prayer or, I mean, there's some stuff going on on some of those days and the, in the A Course In Miracles workbook for students. And so I was two or three weeks into it, you know, 21, you know, 14 to 21 of the daily exercises. And, and I was absolutely committed to it. So what I did was I printed out the daily exercises then brought them with me to Yosemite and then did them while I was camping, which was awesome. And, uh, you know, fast forward almost two years later, what it's as I record this it's August 30th. Um, by the time this gets published, it will be well into September.Mischa Z: 04:57 So probably the two year anniversary, but I have been diligently doing A Course In Miracles every day. First it was the daily exercises. And then after that, it was the text section of A Course In Miracles and reading a section a day. So each, each chapter is broken into paragraphs. It broken into sections. So reading a section of a paragraph every day and for this trip to mammoth, I thought, you know what? I am just not going to worry about it. I've got this great little, you know, one of the exercises that really resonated with me that I was doing right before I left. I'm trying to find it. It's nowhere to be found. Basically one of it is one of the headlines of it is I will make, "I will make no decision on my today". I will make no decision on my own meaning that we'll turn the source or anti source, the ego, who's it going to be?Mischa Z: 06:07 Are we going to be, are we going to be making decisions with the capital S inner self God, the infinite intelligence, or are we going to be driven making choices with our ego? So I'd love this concept. Um, but anyway, I decided, you know what, I'm going to, I'm going to be easy on myself and let go of some routines every morning, I meditate for an hour. Um, and I have been for awhile, you know, of late the hour. Um, you know, for sometimes I'll go through years perhaps where it's 30 minutes or what have you, but of late it's an hour for the last year. Anyway, thank you for listening here. So, so I was like, I'm going to let go of my morning meditation routine to be flexible. And then my journaling, you're trying to save weight that I said, you know what, I'm going to release.Mischa Z: 07:07 I'm going to release all expectations of this routine of these routines. And it was very powerful. And when you're doing these eight mile hikes, there's a lot of time to focus on breath and make it meditative. So there was plenty of time to, to have meditative experiences. Um, I just found it so powerful. It's so powerful camping trip. Um, I also wanted to talk about, I read "Man's Search For Meaning" by Viktor E Frankl. And, uh, I'll see the next episode part 2, 4, 4, the man's search for meaning, because I think there was some serendipitous events that, that helped bring that about. So anyhow, um, very powerful camping trip. I'm back, I'm exhausted, um, ton of meditation, ton of a ton of meditation. So definitely there was plenty of downtime opportunities to meditate and I did meditate and there was plenty of, of, uh, hiking where meditating focusing on breath, focusing on breath, and then lots of turning to God, just, just lots of consciously talking to source.Mischa Z: 08:35 Uh, so powerful. So good. Just how many end with this. I, I had this backlog of 45 or so episodes recorded and due to the summit I got, I, um, I've been bleeding off my backlog of inventory, so of recorded podcast episodes. So I need, so I'm working on back to, I've said this a couple of times, but getting back to recording an episode every day, anyway, love to all get out there, go camping, get out there with nature, uh, mess with your routines for a couple of days, if you can't. Um, anyway, love to all right.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

I'm camping up at 9,500 feet and we had to hike 8 miles to get here!  It is ridiculously beautiful and the solitude is amazing.  The only issue is I've blown out my knees and I can't hike for a day.  I need to let people know. Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Z: 00:01 I'm on a three-day camping trip gay to of the three-day camping trip. And I had this really cool moment and I thought, you know, like grab the phone and record. And the really cool moment was as soon as I took care of myself, held a boundary and the problem that I needed to fix itself fixed itself, it was physical. Um, my knees super achy. So we're up at iceberg lake, me and my buddy, Kyle, Kyle's a 32 year old charger I'm a 53 year old semiretired charger that you park at some metal. I wish I could remember what it's called. It's about 6,000 feet, 6,500 feet, something like that. Elevation. So we started from Encinitas, which is zero. You were at sea level, drove up to mammoth, spent the night there and then, uh, drove to this meadow where you can park. And then we hiked. It's about eight, eight miles, I believe, eight and a half miles. And you increase your elevation 3,500 feet, 3000 to 3,500 feet. It's a healthy little walk hike, especially if you've got a 25 pound pack on. And so my knees were feeling it, my knees were absolutely feeling it. Um, and, uh, you know, you're going up Hills down Hills, stepping over rocks, you know, jolting your, your knees here and there. And, um, anyway, just to set it up for you, uh, about, uh, there was going to be hiking to do on day two.Mischa Z: 02:20 And my body was like, yeah, you gotta walk out of here, man. And your knees, they're going to need to like recover. Like if you go hiking hard on day two, you are perhaps going to have a really serious issue on day three. Historically, I would push through all of that and, uh, I had the opportunity to not push through. So we're an iceberg lake and oh my gosh, the last that...Speaker 2: 03:00 It's like 600 vertical feet you're climbing. I was like, oh no. And I was thinking about, honestly, I was thinking about all my God, that people who would like climb Everest or K2 or these ridiculous mountains that are the highest in the world that, you know, in a perfect world, you have oxygen which you leave base camp at 16,000 feet? So you're camping at these... These people who climb these mountains are camping and 16,000 feet, you know, they end up climbing... I hit pause while I was waiting for the gust of wind to die down. Um, very isolated up here, which is possible. I've been reading Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor E Frankl. So lots of solitude and reading a really heavy, cool book. I'll save any takeaways from man's search for meaning for a some later episodes.Speaker 2: 04:30 But I noticed I've had this book laying around for a little bit and I just noticed his name is Victor E victory. So cool. I don't know why that just struck me. Um, the really cool thing about the wind up here to the gusts of wind is it's so quiet and there's so much solitude that you can hear the gust of wind coming at you. So, you know, it's coming well before it actually gets to you. And it's so cool that there's that much peace and quiet that you can hear the wind coming, and then you can obviously hear it and feel it as it hits you and hits the pocket of trees that I'm camped in. Um, but, uh, yeah, so Kyle was like, all right, we're going up to the next lake, which it's like Anise or Enid or something. Um, but you have to walk a bunch of, bunch of slurry rocks on the side of a pretty steep slope.Speaker 2: 05:34 And so I grabbed my water bottle to go with him this morning and, you know, made it about 200 feet. And I was like, uh, yeah, my knees really hurt. And I think pushing through and getting the adrenaline to go so the pain goes away is not the thing to do. So it was like, yo Kyle, I'm going to take a down day. I kick it at the camp site. You go hike. And, uh, it was really smart. And anyway, I I've been reading and hanging out and doing a lot of stretching and I just went for this little walk and, uh, my knees are all healthy and feeling good. So I was struck... I was like, holy mackerel, like taking that down day, setting that boundary, holding to it, holding to what I knew my body wanted and needed, and then to have the healthy payoff. Super cool. I do also want to say how good the solitude has been and how freaking beautiful it is. Anybody. If you ever get a chance, come up to Iceberg lake, you can see it, hear it all. You'll hear it. Super good stuff. This gets to be a short episode. Enjoy nature. Have some solitude. Iceberg lake is ridiculously beautiful. It actually reminds me of, I believe what's called a crater lake back in Jackson hole, Wyoming national park, but Iceberg lake right here is surrounded pretty much on all sides by big granite peaks. And Glaciers, whats left of em, melt right into, uh, what is iceberg lake here. And we did go for a little dip yesterday and it is CO OLD (cold), but it was refreshing. All right.

A follow up to the "Happiness in the moment episode."  This idea of we can be free of circumstances dictating our happiness.  And if the circumstance is extreme enough, then it will make us unhappy.  I discuss this in relation to having kids.  And what if our kids get hurt?  Can we find happiness in our genetic code as we are designed by the universe? Can we find happiness and bliss in that versus being upset?

I am going to try, try to do a follow up episode to the happiness in the moment episode. The last episode I published right before this one was we can find, we can have happiness in any moment. Happiness is a decision and, um, I wanted to do a follow-up email to that. It's very late at night and I am super tired. I am just about to go on a camping trip, leaving tomorrow for four days and, uh, worked hard to get four podcast episodes scheduled. So they're scheduled to be, um, released while I'm gone. So I feel really good about that, but that was, it's a lot of work scheduling four episodes in a day, um, you know, working them all up and editing them and all of that. And then also I put together an email to be sent while I'm gone to my fledgling email list.Mischa Z: 01:18 I now have a fledgling eel key mail list to go along with my fledgling podcast. Perhaps you are on my fledgling email list as well as being a listener of the podcast. And the reason I'm I'm recording this episode as well is I'm about to go on a camping trip. So I won't be recording an episode for most likely four days. My phone will probably run out of battery on the camping trip. Um, and so I doubt if I will be recording anything. And then also I wanted to stretch myself with the idea of this episode. So here we go, happiness in the moment. Part two, happiness is a decision. So in the first happiness is a decision episode. I was talking about that this lady friend, who, whose two children, I had said, Hey, happiness is a decision. And she said, I disagree because one of my kids broke her hip.Mischa Z: 02:33 One of my kids broke her neck and, um, two daughters that are have kids and things. So they're they're of age they're well, you know, thirties or forties or fifties, perhaps even like somewhere in there, these daughters. So, you know, it's this idea of we can be free of circumstances dictating our happiness and part of that as well. If the circumstance is extreme enough, then it will make us unhappy. And so I have kids, this lady has kids and they both have been injured. And so she's upset and she is unhappy. And the way she described it was really interesting. Or this is the way I heard it, right. This could so two things first off as a mother. So I'm a father, right? So as a mother, like moms are genetically designed to be concerned for their kids. I believe, right? As a mother of a mother, any Mo there's listening to this episode, of course, you're going to be worried about your child no matter what their age, my mother, even when I was, you know, in my thirties.Mischa Z: 04:01 And she passed away when I was young forties, I think 40, I don't know how old I was, maybe 45 or something or somewhere in there. But constantly, you know, packing me a lunch for my, for my airplane, rides home, even in my forties, you know, giving me snack packs, whatever. And, uh, when I was young, it used to make me mad in my late teens and early twenties. They'd be like, mom, I'm a grown up. I learned to love it. Of course. Mom being a mom. And of course I miss that. Now, you know, the SA the bagel sandwiches for the plane ride home. And as you're walking out the door, um, she lived in Berkeley and I live in Encinitas, but, um, as a father. So I think this is one way to think about it when your kids are old enough. And you're like, well, my daughter injured herself so I am unhappy.New Speaker: 05:10 That's sort of a, a righteous agenda. It's almost like saying, look what my daughter has done to me to affect my happiness as a father or as a mother. Right. And that's such an interesting way to look at it, to be like, wait a minute. You know? And, and then also at some point we've got to trust in God that our, our kids are going through what they need to go. They need to be. And so the bigger we can grow that the more we're in acceptance of what our kids get to go through. And that would also say, as a mother, I'm assuming genetically who you're, you're by genetic disposition, your have concern and love and worry, and you don't want to see your kids suffer, but can you find happiness in that mothering when your kids are injured or going through a hard time or, or something like that.Mischa Z: 06:25 And I think that's an awesome way to look at it. Same as a father. So instead of as a father, you know, whatever father instincts I have, when the son, my sons are sussing them out of me, his 20 year old boys, young men today they're 20 and 18. Can I find a happiness in my genetic coding as a father versus upsettedness, right? So if they're, if they're missing a college payment due to irresponsibility, and that irritates me as a father, can I find a joy and happiness in that. And that, oh, I know it sounds crazy, but I think that that's the way for me that the more I can look at things like that, the freer I can be because it is a decision. So I think perhaps if I have an opportunity to have a discussion with that lady who was like, no, I am not happy because my kids, her daughters are injured and I got the impression, it was nothing that was life-threatening or anything, but no buts. I'm hedging right there. To say, Hey, like, okay, you feeling your motherly concern? Can you embrace your genetic code and find happiness in that? In your mothering?Mischa Z: 08:17 Anyhow, there you go. Part two, I'm trying to keep my episodes at eight minutes. I noticed when I'm on zoom, I tend to go a little bit longer because it's a lot harder to watch the clock, versus when I'm on my iPhone, I can see the, the timer is much more prevalent. So you know exactly where you are. Time-wise. I'm really practicing on keeping my episodes at eight minutes, mostly because it's easier to edit them easier and quicker. Versus when you start getting into 15 or 20 minute episode, man, that's a lot more work twice as much work. Anyway, I'm done part two happiness in the moment. Can we find happiness as our genetic code as we're designed by the universe? Can we find happiness and bliss in that versus versus being upset? Can we be happy in our upsetedness? How's that? That's a better way to put it. All right. Love to all I'm done. I am camping for four days. Peace out, but no peace out there will be an episode every day. So it's kind of cool. There's there's no gap.

And, um, we have, uh, you were on my, um, summit, the Tools For A Good Life Summit. So anybody listening, you can hit pause and go run to www.toolsforagoodlifesummit.com and check out Sheryne's amazing, amazing, um, interview. Right. And you, it was very specific. We were talking about, um, like what would, what steps would you offer somebody to help help them get back on track or whatever? And you just were dropping bomb after bomb, after bomb. So amazing. Um, you are amazing. Um, what, I was thinking beforehand, like I'm literally getting the shivers, thinking about like the, the, the moments of like, yeah, yeah, yeah. What was the best thing you said? And I think it was one of the best things you said was, um, and it might've been on the, uh, VIP bonus section, but before we get to that, do you hold, hold place? I was just gonna say, people might be wondering, well, what does she do? Who is she? And, um, you, uh, you are a, um, how am I going to say this? Well, one of the favorite things about you is that you had like, uh, how do you say it's like some, auto-immune some physical issues. Yeah. Right. And you, you were able to like go out and learn all this stuff and like literally heal your body and your mind. Yeah,Sheryne Wilson: 00:02:01 Yeah, yeah,Mischa Z: 00:02:04 Yeah. That's yeah. Right. Like that's amazing. That's yeah. And then you do NLP, which is Neuro Linguistic Programming. Um, so you, you, you help people with that tool with, uh, hypnotherapy neuro linguistic programming, NLP, maybe speak to that for a minute. Like, what's the, gimme the, like, this is why you want NLP real quick.Sheryne Wilson: 00:02:33 Um, okay. You want NLP because a lot of our blocks and most of us know this, our blocks are on an obnoxious or a subconscious level. And so, so many times I know something's blocked blocking me. I don't know what it is. I'm stuck. I don't know what it is. And NLP uses language to bypass the conscious mind, which is always trying to the logical mind, always trying to figure out what the problem is. And it goes directly to the unconscious, which is where everything runs. That is, that is the board of, of how we do life. Right? And so NLP is using language, in my opinion, to bypass the unconscious, the conscious mind to get to the unconscious so that we can actually start dealing with the problem, um, so that we can start taking yourself out of the problem. Um, I love it because one of my sayings is focusing on the problem as part of the problem.Sheryne Wilson: 00:03:25 And this basically takes you outside. The problem gives you a different perspective. It gives you a different viewpoint so that you can start actually creating solutions in your life. And so, I mean, that's the one, there's a, that's my definition. There's a million definitions. I mean, by standard, um, it is, NLP is a standard of excellence and it is really about how to use the mind to get to a place of excellence, um, and, and how you're able to associate and dissociate into situations so that you can figure out what you're doing. Uh, another way of saying NLP too, is NLP is about internal representation. What, you know, the word happy means to me could mean totally different. Something totally different to you. So it's about understanding how you view the world and why you view the world that way and how you can change you. Sorry, how you can view the world in a different way and how you Mischa you something different and how we can work together to understand behavior and understand how you work in. I work I'm, I can rabbit hole down this path for a long time, so I'll just stop there. But, um, yeah, it's dealing with the unconscious and the subconscious mind using language.Mischa Z: 00:04:37 Cool. I, um, I love it. Thank you for that. And we're going to come right back to that, but, um,Mischa Z: 00:04:47 I was thinking of words to say, when I was going to introduce you before, right. As we're coming onto this, and of course I didn't write them down. And so now I'm trying to remember what they were. Right. But they were like, uh, like, um, like open, uh, I don't know. I don't know if raw the right word, but vulnerable, perhaps like there's no. Um, one thing I love about you is that there's that, that wall that can be there between people, at least between you and I is like, just melts away really quick. Right. So we get to be vulnerable and authentic and all those cool are all those words that we hear thrown about. Right. Um, I'd also say I pay for this coaching group that I'm in and it's kind of pricey. And I have this coach who's amazing. And, um, his name's Vince, Hey, Vince, if you're listening, love you. I know you love Vince. I would. I know that you have an opportunity and Vince has been incredibly powerful in my life. And then Vince, oftentimes we'll get some coaching or maybe I shouldn't say this on the air, but, um, I know that he, you and him have a relationship and you've been powerful in his life. So I'm just trying to let the audience know that you have a powerful, useful message by a couple of however, I'm using a couple of degrees of separation to help help with that. Yeah.Sheryne Wilson: 00:06:15 Yes. I work with all walks of life and Vince has been one of those people that I've had the pleasure of working with and he's helped me and I've been able to help him. So, yeah.Mischa Z: 00:06:26 Yeah. So go ahead. No, no, that's it. Yeah. So that's our proof of, that's our, that's our social proof. Like you're legit. You, you bring real solutions to the world, I guess is what I'm trying to say. Um, I want to go back to, so you said NLP, and then you said language it's about language, but then you, I don't want to say hedged a little bit, but you're like, well, maybe most people talk about NLP. They don't talk about language or they don't talk about it in language the same way you do. Or maybe tell me what you, what, what what's, what's going on there?Sheryne Wilson: 00:07:03 Well, in NLP, everybody has an internal representation of the world and we filter information as it comes in and everybody deletes and distorts what comes into their mind, you know, because we can only take in so much information, we take in 123 bits, um, versus we're receiving 40 billion bits per, per minute at, uh, like just flat per second, I think at a time. And so our unconscious mind and our conscious brain, can't actually, I should say our conscious mind, can't take it all in. So we got to like sift through it. Right. And that's why when you know, I go to the park, I may see, I may notice all the trees and you go to the park and you notice the, the shiny slide. And, you know, I say, you know, it was the highlight of the park for you. And you're like the shiny slide.Sheryne Wilson: 00:07:51 And for me, it was the trees. And that goes, that goes into our unconscious mind of what we value is what we filter through. Right. And so, you know, I, I value, like I may walk into a show home and be like, oh, I love how bright it is. And you may be like, oh, I don't like how cold it is. And so that's an internal representation right there of what you value, you know, because you're perceiving it as different. I don't even notice that it's cold in there. I noticed that the coloring that makes it cold or whatever that is, but you notice it because you value a different thing. And so it's really interesting how language can do that. And I think it's so important for people to take the time to break down what words mean to them, what symbols mean to them?Sheryne Wilson: 00:08:37 I like the word happy. What does that mean to you versus what does it mean to me, connection? What does that mean to you? What does that mean to me? And when you start to understand that, then you have a bit of a better perspective of what's happening, right? If you can, he, who has the most knowledge or has the most terrain has the most power. Right. So if I can see more and understand more, I have more choice. I have more power versus if I'm, you know, only have one perspective and very narrow-minded, well, that could limit me in my power. So that's, that's what I mean by language is, is I like NLP because it breaks down barriers using language. And so often if I'm working with a client and you know, they're telling me something, I asked them what it means to them. What does that word actually mean to you? Does that word mean to you? Yeah. And it's, it's amazing what you will learn about somebody when they start to, um, describe what something means to them. You're like, oh, I see how that's valuable. Okay. See what I see. That's important to you. Oh, that's interesting. So that's cool. Sorry. I tangent. Did I lose you? Cause you glazed over.Mischa Z: 00:09:55 No, no. I'm taking it in and I'm, I'm, I'm liking it. I'm I'm In a good waySheryne Wilson: 00:10:03 I'm a Hypnotherapist. I do put people in tance.Mischa Z: 00:10:06 Um, so in her mind, performance, inner I N N E R mind performance.com. So anybody listening, those of you who are listening, um, go, while we're talking, you can go to www.innermindperformance.com and, and follow along there. Um, but, uh, Sheryne. So hypnotherapy, tell me about hypnotherapy as you described NLP. To me, describe hypnotherapy to me.Sheryne Wilson: 00:10:40 I think NLP is a type of hypnotherapy. It is, um, I mean, we are in some kind of hypnosis 98%. I would say I've had even some colleagues say a hundred percent of the time we are in some form of hypnosis. And hypnosis is just, you know, a focus state of trance, um, it's a focus state when you're directed at something. So within three minutes, sorry, within three seconds of picking up your phone, you're in trance. You're, it's just, you're glued in you're there. When you, when within seven seconds of the television turning on, you're in a trance. Within five seconds, five to 10 seconds getting in your car and you're in a trance. It's automatic. It's, it's a very focused state. And a lot of the times, um, our unconscious mind, once you get to an auto, uh, an automatic response, our unconscious mind takes over how many times have you driven home? And you're like, I don't consciously remember going home. Like, did I turn, you know, did I turn past the store or not?Mischa Z: 00:11:47 What was it? Was there? Yeah. What was the weather like?Sheryne Wilson: 00:11:53 Your unconscious mind, like I've, and you've heard me say this before. It's like a GPS. And so you punch it in what you want to do and your unconscious mind directs your mind and your body and the rest of you to go do it. So hypnosis is really, um, we're dialing in on an, a, on a, on a very focused state for a purposeful reason. And so hypnotherapy is, you know, um, if we want to do a psychological change work, because you're stuck in an area in your life. Or you've experienced trauma, you can't let that go. And often, you know, we have open loops. So to say, just like you have open tabs on your computer, we have open loops. And if you know this, if you have a ton of tabs open on your computer, how well does it run?Mischa Z: 00:12:36 It just gets bogged down. And yeah, it's just, a nightmare. Yeah.Sheryne Wilson: 00:12:40 Hypnotherapy and hypnosis is a way to go in and to close, gently close. Some of those open loops of, you know, oh, "I was never good enough when I was a child." "I'm never good enough when I was child" and that plays over and over and over again. And oh, like, you know, "I wonder why my ex left me." "Why did my ex leave me?" "I don't know, was it because I'm not good enough?" And that's a lot of energy even to, um, you know, how many times have you laid in bed at night? "Ah, did I, did I pack my kid's lunch?" "Do I need to get up early and pack my kid's lunch?" "Did I pack it, did I put ahh, where did I put the?" "where did I put my keys?" "Where's my passport?" "Oh Shit where's this?" Like, and those are open loops.Sheryne Wilson: 00:13:15 Right. And so hypnotherapy is a way to go in and close those loops. Okay. Um, yeah. And so it's, it's deep, psychological change work is what we call it. And often it has to do with regression in going back into the past and closing those loops because a lot of the instances that are open still happened between the ages of zero and 12. And so that is when we are most, um, what's the word, uh, malleable. Most, uh, susceptible to change. Where are the most susceptible to influence it's, it's the ages where, um, we're in theta states. So we're, we're a sponge. People say, kids are like sponges and they are, that is their unconscious mind is in a place of just download it, being downloaded information. And so sometimes that information is not very good. Right. And so we have to go back and reprogram the unconscious mind so that you can make a different behavior. So you can make think a different thought, choose a different behavior and get a different result.Mischa Z: 00:14:16 That's a great way to say it there.Sheryne Wilson: 00:14:18 I think I stole that from Vince, Like, honestly, like, I don't know how many times I've seen him write this on a whiteboard when he was, when he did some coaching for me. And I was like, yes, that's right, right. Vince is really good at listening. And we're just going to talk about Vince for a second listening and then like spitting out an answer, you know, like being like, oh, you mean like this? And I'm like, yes, like fill in gaps is great.Mischa Z: 00:14:46 And his knowledge is so deep. It's unbelievable. The more I get to have interactions with him more I'm like, God dang. Like, wow. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. Um, so how did you stumble across, was it NLP first or hypnotherapy first or both at the same time?Sheryne Wilson: 00:15:07 That's so interesting that you said that, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you. Got your question. Okay. Yeah. Um, how did I stumble across? Well, like I'd mentioned before, so, um, my father, here's the long story. Cause we like deep don't we, we like to go a little spiritual and woo woo. The long story is, is that I actually wanted to be a doctor. And then my father ended up getting sick. Um, he had cancer and he passed away. And after that I realized I didn't want to be a doctor. And so after being in health and wellness for over 10 years, at that time, I decided to go in a completely different direction. I went into business and marketing and uh, got it.Mischa Z: 00:15:50 I asked you a question. How deep are you into the doctor path? Are you like getting you're in university? You're getting your bachelor's you're gettingSheryne Wilson: 00:15:59 Yeah. Yeah. I was on the dot, like I was in, on advanced, um, uh, like nursing program so that I could go into like, so it basically pre-med, it's going to medicine and I was applying for the faculty of medicine, which is like a preliminary program for medicine. So I had a long ways to go don't get me wrong. But yeah, it was, I wasMischa Z: 00:16:21 On the path. Yeah. I was on the path.Sheryne Wilson: 00:16:25 I was like, I'm going to do it. Yeah.Mischa Z: 00:16:28 And so dad gets they'll go ahead. I didn't. So dad, are you and dad? ASheryne Wilson: 00:16:35 Yeah, my dad was my best friend. Yeah. Okay.Mischa Z: 00:16:38 So this is a heavy yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Bitch Slap moment kind of obviously.Sheryne Wilson: 00:16:43 Okay. Yeah. If we want to get real, for sure. My dad had health issues and his entirely, he was a type one diabetic. And so I learned at a very young age, like by the age of, I think, five I've learned, I learned when my dad was in, had low blood sugar and I learned how to give him an injection. I learned like my mom was really good at teaching me and my brother when something was wrong with dad, because I mean, and this is like 20 years ago, 20 plus years ago when they didn't have, um, the insulin packs that they have now. Right? Like they didn't have monitoring on your body where your little thing would be if you went low or whatever. Yeah. The technology, right. It was like, we had to smell his breath. We had to watch his behavior. We had to see, you know, if he is broached, blood, sugar was dropping.Sheryne Wilson: 00:17:29 And, and so anyway, he needs to say he had a lot of health issues. So I always knew in the back of my mind, my mom always prepared this at like dad isn't the strongest physically. And so we need to be appreciative of that. And so I knew, and you know, as an adult, you know, your parents aren't gonna live forever. Um, but I had no idea it would happen that soon. And I didn't think it'd be cancer that blindsided me. I thought it would be like, you know, I had done so much research in pre-med, uh, around diabetes and type one diabetes. And I thought it would be organ failure. I thought it would be, you know, kidney failure, heart disease. That's kind of the things that follow with diabetes. And then it was like, he got this rare cancer, like only seen in 17% of the population, blonde hair, blue eyed, Scandinavians, like in his eye, he got cancer in his eye.Sheryne Wilson: 00:18:20 And it's like, what? Like a rare melanoma in his eye. And it's like, that kinda like shocked all of us. And the doctors didn't really know much about it. And they kind of were like, well, we're just gonna treat it normally. And it's not a big deal. And then later we found out this is a very aggressive cancer and that it can spread almost instantly. And melanoma spreads very fast. Um, and it did it spread to his liver and his lungs and his spine right away. And so within a very short amount of time, he got very sick and um, I put everything on hold and I took care of him and he was my best friend. And it was a no brainer for me. It was like, like I remember my brother would be like, what are you going to do? And I'm like, give me more.Sheryne Wilson: 00:19:09 Am I going to do, I'm dropping out, like, I'm stopping everything. I'm taking that. And he's like, oh, okay. Like, I just was like, this is my best friend. What, what, you know? And, um, I had no idea what it would look like. And that is the scariest thing for anyone who's lost a parent or loved one with cancer. You don't know what it looks like. You don't know how long you have. You don't know how fast it goes. You don't know what it looks like. Some people rarely do they die peacefully in your sleep. That's what I've learned. Yeah. It can be quite ugly. Yeah. It's really gross. Um, so yeah, and I took care of him and it was such a beautiful experience because I learned the value of life and, and I've done a lot of grief talks. If anybody wants, I have spoken for a number of, uh, workshops and, uh, things around grief because it was such a beautiful experience for me. And I've been in contact there's death, doulas. Now death doulas is a thing I would have paid money back then to have a death doula. Like, cause you just don't know to have someone come in and be like, Hey, this is what you need to expect. This is the process. Like, it's like, it's just like having a baby. Right. You have noMischa Z: 00:20:21 End of life doula. Yeah. I interviewed, you can go back to the interviews. It's like interview 17 or something. Mel, Cavindish (Actually Mel McClave interview #12 https://bitch-slap-the-accelerated-path-to-peace.simplecast.com/episodes/interview-12-mel-mcclave-wants-to-talk-death. ) or name a great interview. She's a death doula, but it was awesome. I mean, it was so good. Yeah. SoSheryne Wilson: 00:20:37 Thankfully there was a grief counselor that was really involved and kind of, kind of knew like the death stuff. And, and so it was great, beautiful because it taught me the value of life. Like you don't really understand life until you've just experienced death. And he died in my dad. My dad died in my arms and it was so beautiful and horrible at the same time because this, this is like, he was my best friend. I'm the only man I think I ever truly trusted in life. And he, he was just such a beautiful soul. And um, thankfully I have a lot of his, his legacy and characteristics in me, but it, it, it taught me so much in that moment. Like you really only have one life. Like, and my dad said to me, cause I'm like, dad, do I like who I marry?Sheryne Wilson: 00:21:26 And you know, I'm having this. And we, he, we talked everyday about it. My dad was very open about the dying and we talked about everything and, and you name it, everything we talked about. And I just remember, sorry, I'm kind of rambling. But I remember him saying like sharing. It doesn't matter if you want to be a truck driver, be a truck driver or you want to be a garbage truck driver. Be it be the best garbage truck driver ever. Like nobody cares. Just own it. And just like, if that's your purpose and passion, then do that. Because I was like, dad, I don't know. Do I keep being a doctor? And he was like, I don't care. And as long as you are fulfilling your purpose, he didn't say it like happy. My dad was never like happy. Like my dad was never one of those people's like, do what makes you happy?Sheryne Wilson: 00:22:12 My dad was very like, he was an accountant. So it was very logical. You what's purposeful. Right. And he's going to balance the books. God it. Right. Very much. And so he was, had a practical side of him, but he's like, yeah, like live out your purpose and be, be passionate. And I'm like, okay, because he didn't have regrets, but he had a list of things he hadn't accomplished yet. And that was like a big moment. And he said to me on his death bed, he said to me, I don't have regrets, but I do wish I had gone to more of your games. I do wish we had taken more vacations. I wish I'd taken the darn sick days. You know, I, at the end of the day, cause guess what? His boss, uh, 40 years, wasn't there. The day that the day my dad died.Sheryne Wilson: 00:22:58 I mean, yeah, they sent him a card, but like, you know, all the things he had given himself to in the end, it was really only 20 family members around them. You know, my dad was in charge of many organizations. He was, did non-profit. He did all these things. He'd given 40 years to a company. And yet there's only 20 people around him at the, at the end. And that, that was a wake up call to me. And that's when it was like the slap, it started began. I began, the grief didn't happen that when he died, it was moving on with life afterwards and going, oh my God, like the person that was my best friend is no longer here. Let alone my father. And so I, I did have PTSD. I did have depression. I had horrible anxiety, all my abandonment issues. Every, every emotion I'd ever felt in my life came flooding in. I learned to mop my floors a lot. Um, like it was very like,Mischa Z: 00:23:59 What else am I going to do? Is that what you mean? When you say mop the floors? It's like, this is what I know to do. That's what I can do. Yeah. I'd love that. Yeah.Sheryne Wilson: 00:24:09 And I went back to landscaping. I had to get back to some roots. And so like in my younger years I had landscaped and I called up this guy that I used to landscape and I'm like, I just, I just need to plant some flowers every day for the next few months. And I did until I figured out what I wanted to do and super powerful. Anyways, long story short, this is a long story long.Mischa Z: 00:24:32 Good.Sheryne Wilson: 00:24:33 I ended up, you know, because I, all those emotions, I ended up getting sick myself because I still hadn't let go. I blamed myself on some level. I blamed myself that I didn't save him. That if only I had known more, if only I had been a doctor, if only all these things. And so I had to really let go and all that emotional turmoil plus the stress. Um, I had moved many times, like I put my body through hell and within the first three to five years of my dad passing. And if you do the research, a lot of auto-immune diseases come within the first three to five years of trauma. Yeah. Specifically the death of a loved one. Wow. Yeah. They say within two years of losing a loved one, you are so susceptible to cancer and auto-immune your chances are like crazy.Sheryne Wilson: 00:25:29 Wow. Because it's, your body is in such a state of stress. Yeah. And emotional and physical. So lo and behold, all these autoimmunes came up. And uh, yeah. I started to heal myself naturally. Uh, you know, I did juicing, I did Ravi and I mean, you can go to my website. I list all the things that I did. I did over 30 different modalities. And in the process, in the journey, I did something called bioenergetics, natural bioenergetics, which is dealing with the emotional side and the psychology of emotions as well as the physical side in traditional Chinese medicine. Okay. There's NLP in wa woven into it. And so I noticed incredible change when I started seeing this practitioner who became my mentor and I was like, whatever, this is, I'm going to do it. WhoMischa Z: 00:26:19 Was the, who's your, who was it? Who was your mentor? Who is your mentor?Sheryne Wilson: 00:26:22 Um, she was Linda Easthouse and she, um, she has her own practice out of, uh, Mexico now. Okay, cool. And, uh, so she's semi retired but not retired. She's one of those people I think will never retire. Yes, yes. Uh, so she, she was my teacher and my mentor and taught me some incredible things and work with me every week for probably I think about a year. Okay. I read and saw her every week to deal with the physical, emotional trauma while doing all the physical modalities that I listed on my website. And that's how I was able to heal myself. But in that process, I came across an LP and, and, you know, I, the funny thing is if you know anything about marketing and business, NLP is very heavily woven into marketing and, and business. Yes.Mischa Z: 00:27:08 Like the ad people are like opening loops on us. Right. They're like,Sheryne Wilson: 00:27:13 Yes, absolutely. Right. The, just the way they were things from come by us, us too, wouldn't your life be so much better if you bought this, you know? And it's like, I don't know what it is. Let me show you how, like, there's just, so NLP is just so it's like sleight of mouth, which is what Tony Robbins actually does is he uses a technique called sleight of mouth, which is just very much, um, yeah. Getting people to think and draw them in. And then you make that quick change. Um, can you raise a very powerful technique? And so I actually became certified in bioenergetics first and did that for two years, health coaching, and then really wanted to go deeper. I wanted to get more into trauma counseling and trauma coaching, and I really wanted to blow people's minds. So I got into NLP hypnotherapy, timeline therapy, also incorporated matrix energetics, um, theta healing, EFT. And you just go to like, once you're hooked, you're you just spiral down into all the modalities. And originally I said, I wanna, I want to pick the top 10 modalities that changed my life and I want to learn them, master them. And then I want to help other people change their life with them. So that's what I did. So, um, yeah, it's been fun.Mischa Z: 00:28:33 That is beautiful. Thank you for that. Um, so... Tell me if this is a naive or I don't know if nieve way to say it, but if I hear, I think all of the stuff you just said, it's like, it's all to change the pattern is that kind of change that Mo that, that pattern, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Um, like as far as the NLP is concerned, what are the, like the three someone listening's like, well, NLP sounds cool or low, but actually before we go there, Tony Robbins, the slight of mouth technique is he he's using that technique. You don't need to tell me what it is necessarily yet, but he uses that technique. So that draws the person in and opens them up. And so then he can, he can affect change or,Sheryne Wilson: 00:29:28 And then he's quantum linguistics. So it's very, like, he's uses a lot of commands. Right. And so once you draw somebody in and you have influence, then you can command. And so that is like Tony Robbins is not the master of NLP, just so everybody knows, like you didn't even finish his NLP courses. Right. You just took two, two techniques out of NLP and just nice them down and mastered them. And he just uses them and it works on people. That's cool.Mischa Z: 00:29:59 Yeah.Sheryne Wilson: 00:30:00 And then quantum linguistics is it's very much once you have drawn them in, you know, and it's slight of mouth very much, like can be very sarcastic too. Um, well, "wouldn't you like to know?", You know, um, yeah, well that's because like, it's very sarcastic, it's very jokey and it's like, well, "if you wanted that you would go get it." And it's like, yeah, "I guess I would". And then he, he takes it a step further and he uses some, the linguistic, uh, quantum linguistics to kind of add in some embedded commands. Um, which is another technique that is really powerful. And then like, "so go do that". Right. You know, that's kind of, that's kind of what NLP and people don't even realize that it's happening unless you were just sit down and unless someone like myself, um, can pull it out and I'm like, oh, okay. I see what you're doing there.Mischa Z: 00:30:59 So who did he learn from, or who was his teacher? Who would, as far as you're aware? Huh?Sheryne Wilson: 00:31:05 I think learn from Tad James. Okay. Or could have been Richard Bandler. Those are kind of the top two, um, gurus out there. I'm sure there's more, please. Don't be offended if you're listening to this. And you're like, I know they're like, no, you got it wrong. Yeah. I may have.Mischa Z: 00:31:23 Yeah. Right. Yeah. No, we're just having fun. We're just bantering. We're just talking aboutSheryne Wilson: 00:31:29 Tad James.Mischa Z: 00:31:30 Well, I'll tell you what I think is so interesting about, and this is not no reflection of Tony Robbins. I think of the, but when I hear sleight of mouth, right. Um, unlike that almost bring, makes me as a slight negative connotation to me and not, not Tony, but that like the technique I'm like, oh, why does that, why does that, it's an interesting question. Why does that chat me just a little bit? Like using slight of mouth on me? You know what I mean? Like, you know what I'm saying? Does that make sense or not like, it's an interesting, go ahead.Sheryne Wilson: 00:32:08 NLP can have a bad rap because it can be very manipulative in marketing. There's a fine line. And I think it's important that you have ethics and morals around it. And when I did my NLP, we went over ethics and morals, um, and how to use it. And when you use it, because it is, it does put people in a trance, it is formulated, there is so much, it's intertwined with hypnotherapy and hypnosis and it does put people in a trance and you need to be careful how you, how you do things because you can manipulate people. Um, anybody you can use language to manipulate anyone. Yeah.Mischa Z: 00:32:41 Yeah. If people are trying to do it all the time, marketers, right. They're trying to influence our actions or get us to buy products or switch companies or go to Verizon versus AT&T, right. Like,Sheryne Wilson: 00:32:55 Yeah. Like "wouldn't you want to protect your family?" W w like, "don't, you want to protect your family,?" "Come to AT&T" we'll put like what, oh, okay. It can be very, you know, um, accusing accusatory. It can be very, uh, manipulating. Um, yeah. But, but it works too. So there's, there's a right way and a wrong way, I would say of using it. Um, but it's out there. If you actually study the news, it's, it's, it's interwoven in everything. Every president has their own neuro-linguistic program or trainer to teach them how to talk. That's amazing.Mischa Z: 00:33:34 Yeah.Sheryne Wilson: 00:33:34 Yeah. That's how powerful. This is the top CEOs in the world, all know NLP. Um, most companies have their own NLP trainers, Vince, new NLP, like, yeah. All of my guys have like studied NLP, like, because it's such a powerful use of language. You can manipulate people to get, do what you want them to do.Mischa Z: 00:33:56 Wow. Um,Sheryne Wilson: 00:33:58 So I just use it to get people to do what they want to do on themselves. Right. Right.Mischa Z: 00:34:02 Use it as a tool out of the yeah.Sheryne Wilson: 00:34:04 To get them out of your head.Mischa Z: 00:34:06 Yeah. So cool. So, and then if we were to just generalize, we'd say like the S the strategy of NLP is to help you used for good using the force for good is to help you or somebody, uh, change their thought pattern to a more productive or less negative, or however you want to say that. Right. So, yeah. Is that, yeah.Sheryne Wilson: 00:34:30 I would say it's tricking your mind into doing what you wanted to do. Oh, I love that.Mischa Z: 00:34:34 Um, so cool. So what are, like, tell me some, tell me some, uh, some tactics within that, like, cool. We've got this cool strategy. We're going to, we're going to trick our mind and to doing what we wanted to do. So like, gimme some, uh, anyone listening, like give him, throw, throw them a bone. Let's, let's get let's when we got,Sheryne Wilson: 00:34:55 Um, yeah. So there's some words that are really powerful that automatically trigger people to take action, and those words are, NEED, WANT, HAVE, MUST, AND WILL, is also in there. And so, um, if I was talking to you and it's like, um, or if I need to do something, I will be like, I need to go do this. And that can trigger something in your unconscious mind to take action. Um, and everybody's different, but those are kind of the top five, the NEED, WANT, HAVE, MUST, and WILL. And so if you, if you're like, I will go do this, I must go do this. I'm going to go do this. Like a lot of things, people think I am is really powerful. It's not as powerful as I must. And, uh, uh, I will, and I have to, and I want to, and I need to. And so that's a trick that you can do, um, is you can literally say that, like, I must go do the dishes. I need to go do the dishes. I want to go do the dishes. I will go do the dishes. Um, and you can say that, and that will supercharge your unconscious mind because it's an embedded command that we've learned from such a young age to go do something. Right.Mischa Z: 00:36:06 I love that. That's a good one. Yeah. Thank you for that. So that's a great tip. So again, people can follow along at www.innermindperformance.com or www.toolsforagoodlifesummit.com is where they can listen to you. I interview you. I do two interviews. We do the general session, and then we do the VIP session. I can't remember which one it was in, but you were like, and use the, what was that example you gave? It was so great. I hope, I hope it comes to me quick. I was like, um,Sheryne Wilson: 00:36:38 I hope it comes through, cause I can't rememberMischa Z: 00:36:40 It. Well, you were like, you were like, you were like, put the question on your, your, your like, form the question. You're like form the question, put it on your, on a note or a sticky on your mirror or something. And then the subconscious mind will work to answer the question. Right. And so you're like somebody hates doing this dishes and you're like, I it's something about all of a sudden now they're doing the dishes. Sorry audience.Sheryne Wilson: 00:37:12 No, it's very much like, um, you know, uh, "what would my life look like if I enjoy doing the dishes" or, um, "how easy would it be for me to do the dishes every day?" Um, and, and not answering that question, just leaving it up there and watching your unconscious mind figure out the answer. Um, cause a lot of people think that it's a lot of work. The unconscious mind is so much, it's 30,000 times more powerful than the conscious mind. And so if you can get it embedded in your unconscious mind, it will take over and you'll take action. And so the whole, like I love, I get a lot of my clients to get this. "If, if this was no longer a problem in my life, how much time and energy would I have". And then the unconscious mind goes, "well, we want time and energy, why don't we solve this problem?" Like, you know, and it starts to look for an answer. "What would my life look like if this was no longer a problem in my life?" You know, "if this was no longer a problem in my life, how much time and energy would I have?" "What will I do with all the time and energy that I have that now that this is no longer a problem in my life?"Mischa Z: 00:38:14 And so I love that. And I love that thought. And the subconscious mind starts working to answer that question.Sheryne Wilson: 00:38:21 I walk away and you go, you know, eat a piece of chocolate, go for a walk. And the next thing, you know, as you're figuring out your life's problems and you're like, oh, how did that,Mischa Z: 00:38:31 So would you have somebody write that down? Or like walk me through. So it's like, okay, go ahead.Sheryne Wilson: 00:38:37 Yeah. Yeah. So a lot of my clients, I get them to write it on a sticky and put it on their mirror in the morning. Um, I would say first thing in the morning, especially when you get out of the shower, um, because your neural networks are most, are really lit at that time. So to say, and so yeah, the shower look in the mirror and be like, just say it out loud, three times, you don't need to answer it. Like this is, this is not a cognitive thinking thing. This is just, okay, what would my life look, feel? And sound like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, or whatever the question is that they need to ask. And they just say it out loud three times, and then they go away and then they say it again before bed. Um, and so that is a technique that you can use and I get them to do it for as long as it takes until I would say anywhere from two weeks to three weeks, seems to be about the time. And then by the end of 30 plus days, it's no longer a problem. It's not even, they're like, yeah, I have so much time energy to figure everything out. Like I got thisMischa Z: 00:39:36 Any, you don't need to say any names, but any real word. What's the top real world example of that, where you've helped one of your clients do that. Can you give like a real life? IfSheryne Wilson: 00:39:49 I would say every single one of my clients? Um, because once I think a lot of, I think as humans and, and the time and energy one is big because we've been taught that everything takes time and energy, right? And time and energy is important. It's a valuable thing. You're very valuable. And so I would say every single one of my clients, no matter what it is, if it's, you know, I want to lose weight. If I changed jobs, make more money, no longer be sick, whatever it is. I put the time in and how much time and energy will I have when I work out every day, how much time and energy will I have when I lose 10 pounds, you know, what will my life look out? Look like, you know, how much time and energy we'll have when this is no longer a problem, my life insert the problem.Sheryne Wilson: 00:40:36 Um, and I would see every single one of my clients after the three weeks are like, oh my gosh, I have so much time and energy because it also changes their focus of where it's going. Because focusing on the problem as part of the problem, focusing on the problems, part of the problem, right? And so they're now thinking about how can I create more time and energy, because this is no longer a problem in my life because my unconscious mind is taking care of it. I'm taking care of it. And so what else can I do? Because the unconscious mind likes direction. It likes to do shit. And so many times once I sit, I sit down with a client, they got chaos, chaos in their life. They got destruction. The world's burning down because they're bored. What happens to a toddler when you leave them alone for too longMischa Z: 00:41:24 By God,Sheryne Wilson: 00:41:26 What happens to toddler? When you leave himMischa Z: 00:41:28 Alone for too long, they're going to wreak havocSheryne Wilson: 00:41:31 Markers on the wall. Legos kicked over, brothers, sisters locked in the cupboard. Like we are wired when we're bored, we will create anything, including Cray chaos. So give yourself something to do, stop, stop creating the problem.Mischa Z: 00:41:53 Oh my God.Sheryne Wilson: 00:41:55 You know, it's so funny when people come to me and they're like, I'm not good at manifesting. You know, I've been divorced three times and you know, I've lost my job. And like, I have health issues. I'm like, you are very good at manifesting. You are very good at manifesting. Your bored and your bored. We need to get that energy because it's the same thing. That's like, you know, they're very good at creating destruction,Mischa Z: 00:42:22 Dig a ditch. Right.Sheryne Wilson: 00:42:26 You, and so it's like, give your unconscious mind something to do. Stop destroying relationships, stop with the destroying habits in your life. Stop eating at night. Like people that people know what we eat because we're bored. We'll do something. Right. It's a default mechanism when we're bored, we will resort to creating anything, including destruction. So true. Right.Mischa Z: 00:42:51 So true. Just like throwing little, little toddlers throwing temper tantrums. Oh my God.Sheryne Wilson: 00:43:03 Unconscious minds board. So it's like post up today. LikeMischa Z: 00:43:08 You had to manifest something. How about another destroyed relation, destroyed relationship.Sheryne Wilson: 00:43:16 That much dysfunction. I'm scared. I'm like, wow. You are powerful.Mischa Z: 00:43:20 I love that idea though. Wow. If you could just shift the, uh, you know, the, I didn't know, shift the intention or I dunno what the right word is there. The focus, the focus. Thank you. The focus. Oh my gosh. That's so, so good. Um, that's a new way to look at the destructive patterns in my life. Oh my God. I am so powerful. Manifesting. I just need a new focus. I love it. Um, I'm going to press, you knowSheryne Wilson: 00:43:52 This because I've done it myself,Mischa Z: 00:43:54 Right?Sheryne Wilson: 00:43:56 Wow. I'm really good at manifesting chaos like crazy. What if I write my best friend? He says to me, he, whenever I I'm like trying to enter mine, he goes, you know, it takes one to know one,Mischa Z: 00:44:17 So true. Um, all right. I'm going to press you a little bit on, I want to, I want a specific example of where you Jedi tricked the person with your little thing there with, with that tool of, um, sorry to do that too. I should've let you know beforehand. It had been a lot easier.Sheryne Wilson: 00:44:39 Go on a specific example of what,Mischa Z: 00:44:42 Of, where you your were doing, where you're like, Hey, ask this question and when you're out of the shower and when you go to bed, like, what is, uh, what is one of your clients? We don't need the name, but like, this was there. This was the real world problem. And we got the real word solution utilizing this technique, perhaps some others as well. But do you understand what I'm saying?Sheryne Wilson: 00:45:04 Okay. Two clients are coming to mind. One. She had been, um, I would say she was in a, in a very tumultuous relationship for many years and then ended it, but never got over it. Like your heart was broken. And she was, I would say chronically depressed. Um, for four years, been in counseling for four years, just like living lifeless for four years. Um, you know, the nine to five or whatever, and she couldn't get over. And I remember I got her to do this specifically. I mean, I had worked with her too, but I think it was, you know, something around. I can't remember what it was. This is a while ago. Um, like a few years ago. I think I got her to ask the question. Um, what would I do? Yeah. How happy that's, what was, "how happy would I be knowing that I've let go of insert person's name?"Sheryne Wilson: 00:46:04 Um, "How happy would I be knowing that I let go of this person and that I now have the power to choose what I get to do with my life." Something along those lines, a very empowered I remember had to do with how happy would I be? And within two weeks she, um, she comes through one of her appointments and she goes, we have a problem. And I said, what? She goes well for the first time in four years, I don't think I've ever been so productive. And I said, what do you mean? She's like, I planted my garden. Hadn't touched my garden for years, planted my garden. She said, I've changed jobs. Um, and she didn't like her job and she's like, I'm back. I got on a dating website and she's like, I actually think I'm happy. Like, I actually think I'm experiencing joy again.Sheryne Wilson: 00:46:52 She actually didn't know we had to go through a whole process. Feels like, cause sometimes people legitimately forget. And so I was like, okay, let's start identifying that. There's happiness in your life. And, and uh, yeah, it was really cool. And uh, she went on and like, honestly after that, she just like, she didn't know what to, she didn't even know what to do with herself. I mean, she was like for four years, I feel like I've just wasted my life. And, and now I'm like planting a garden and, and moving on. And so that, and it literally, it was, I got her to do it. She was probably doing it. I think I had her do it, put it on her steering wheel of her car. So every time she got in her car, she had to say it out loud. Um, she did a lot of driving, so she was, we had multiple times a day asking that question and yeah. Transformational. Yeah. Beautiful.Mischa Z: 00:47:44 And what was the other one that came to mind?Sheryne Wilson: 00:47:46 Um, again, it was around love again and I think it was like, what would I do? Um, I think it was how fulfilled. No, "if I knew how much I love myself, um, how much, how much could someone love me." "If I knew how much I love myself how much could someone love me?" And, uh, again, similar situation been through divorce. Hadn't dated in a year or years. Long time was looking to get back into that, but was struggling to feel worthy to date again and like, oh my God. But then a month she had men bowing to her and she's like going on. And like, she also started to really respect herself and she wasn't dating just these lack of a better term douche bags. She doesn't use bags anymore. And she started dating he's high standard, respectable men. And I was like, whoa, how this is powerful. And she's like, she still just says the man the mantra today. Um, and yeah, this is, she started saying a couple of years ago, but very powerful, very powerful technique.Mischa Z: 00:48:56 So good. Um, and again, everybody listening go to toolsforagoodlifesummit.com and you spoke on, I believe it was day one, mind day. And then there's also the VIP bonus interview where you drop, not only that Bob, but like, you're just, I mean, it was so powerful that the tools and the insights and, uh, um, like actionable content. Right. That's what I love is you were just like, here's a platter of actionable content to,Sheryne Wilson: 00:49:29 Because I don't usually do actionable content.Mischa Z: 00:49:32 Yeah. We, we sussed it out of you.Sheryne Wilson: 00:49:36 Right? You did. I'm so I'm so impressed. Usually I'm just like, I dunno, you just do it. You just do it on my table. It come, you know, book an appointment with me. We'll fix it. Yeah.Mischa Z: 00:49:46 Well you'll, you'll help if someone where someone goes, oh my gosh, urine's amazing. They call you up. You're going to obviously got to dig a little bit. Like, what's the issue? What are we going to work on? What technique do I want to apply? Where right. Like what what's best fit given, uh, given the, uh, the progress they want to make, I guess, but, and of course, innermindperformance.com. They can go there too. So I wrote down a few questions. I always like to, to take a moment and thank you for indulging me with all that. And, um, and I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna try to think of something to put within framework, hold on, put within your framework. So the next time we talk, I can be like, Hey, I used that little trick and here's what it was. Right. So I'm going to, I'm going to think about that offline. I'll I'll come up with something and try it for the next time we talk. But I like to take like, Hey, source universe, infinite intelligence, God, call it whatever the heck you want. Like, you know, w w like, what are some questions? So here, are you ready?Sheryne Wilson: 00:50:56 I'm ready. Are you channeling? Is thatMischa Z: 00:50:58 What you're saying? I'm set. I did earlier, before I got on the call, I wrote down a few things. And so one of them was, I thought, what an opportunity to, cause I'm a guy or a girl or a man woman, however you want to say it. I was like, I wrote down, what's the biggest difference between men and women and how they deal, how they deal, or we could say how they deal with blank. That's what I got to. What's the, my question to you. What's the biggest difference between men and women and how we deal you fill in the blank.Sheryne Wilson: 00:51:34 Oh, wow. I think in how they deal with life and perception. Okay.Mischa Z: 00:51:43 Tell me thenSheryne Wilson: 00:51:47 This would require a full nother podcast. As I love talking about gender roles, and I love talking about programming and the pro or the programming that's come with gender, um, and gender roles. And, and I hope that doesn't offend anybody when I say gender, but I mean like the masculine and the feminine, um, yeah, I think, you know, the earliest programming is women are taught and, and I think that's changing. Um, but for definitely like our generation and up, I would say it's very much been, uh, women are less than and weaker. And, um, that's been a negative thing and, uh, men are, you know, stronger and women are sensitive, right? Women are sensitive and men are, you know, emotionally unavailable. Right. And, and men, I think like I literally have the picture of like a man in a suit with a briefcase walking down the street, logically, going to work and motionless, right.Sheryne Wilson: 00:53:01 Like emotionless, I should say. And a woman at home in the kitchen, um, you know, crying over a sad movie. And, and like, that is what I picture when you were talking that, because that is the program that I received at a young age. And what I have learned is that makes it difficult for men and women to relate because now we've created a barrier and we've created labels. And if you've ever heard me speak on clubhouse or anywhere, I hate labels, hate labels. I hate labels. I hate titles. I hate, I hate it when we do that. And I get why we do it so that we can compartmentalize and relate to what's going on. Cause we need to remember, I talked about distort, delete and filter what's happening. So it's a way that we filter things, but it does put things in a box. And what it, what it does is it says that women are overly sensitive and men are, you know, emotionally unavailable. Right. And I would say that makes it very difficult for men and women to be in connection and communication. If those are, if those are the, the labels and the programs that we've set before us,Sheryne Wilson: 00:54:27 I could go so deep into this,Mischa Z: 00:54:29 We have a few minutes. So don't, don't be scared if there's more you want to say, or you want me to ask a question if you're, if there's something on the tip of your tongue,Sheryne Wilson: 00:54:37 I think I, we can go a little bit. Woo Woo. I think, you know, I think the feminine, here's my honest opinion. I think the feminine energy, whether you identify as a female or not, or you just identify with that type of energy, I think the feminine is more powerful than the masculine. I truly believe that I believe the feminine energy, we can birth a human being, which we create life and we can squat that you ever seen Eliza Schlesinger. Yes. Right. And she's like, you know, and she's like, you know, we just wiggle out this human being and we're like, you know, and then we're like, oh, can you open this can for me? And it's like, she's like really like,Mischa Z: 00:55:20 Oh my God, that's amazing. Right.Sheryne Wilson: 00:55:22 It's just like what, um, I think the feminine energy that we possess, whether you're female or identify as female, whatever doesn't matter, um, is stronger and more powerful than any masculine energy out there. I also think that feminine energy will heal the masculine. I feel that women have, um, inverted and destroyed a lot of the sanctity of feminine energy and that it is actually quite sovereign and strong and powerful. It's not weak. It's not necessarily nurturing, nurturing as it is more sovereign. And I think that if women can tap into that, they would be able to heal men. Not that that's our responsibility, but I think it would heal the masculine. And I think that would allow the masculine to step into more of a feminine role or a feminine energy, which would soften men, which would allow more creativity, which again, I think it's about equality for me.Sheryne Wilson: 00:56:21 It's like the ying, the yang. It's like, we need the masculine, we need the feminine. And every human being needs to have a balance of the both. That is my perspective. And I have seen relationships in my personal life change when I step into more masculine energy. And when I step into feminine energy and when I learned to balance the time, the tact tone and timing of that, I can heal every man in my life. I have witnessed that before my eyes. And it is such a powerful role because I used to be one of those women that emasculated men, I chopped your balls off and I chewed them up and spit it out. And I thought I was being a bad-ass bitch. And then I realized that you crying in the corner did note like does nothing, that these men, men just want to be loved as much as women.Sheryne Wilson: 00:57:11 They want to be heard as much as women, it's just not acceptable. And that's part of the program. It's not socially acceptable for a man to come to work and be like, I'm having an off day I'm sad, you know, whereas women, it's totally acceptable to be like, I'm PMS'ing. I can be a because in PMS'ing scene, you know, like, all right, like a girlfriend messaged me and she's like, ah, I think I'm getting my period. I'm going to take today off. And I'm like, oh yeah. Okay, cool. But like, if a minute, you know, if one of my men, male friends messaged and he was like, my blood ball hurts, I think I'm going to skip work. Right. We'd be like, what? Like pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Like why you being a pussy? You know, like, you know, I'm just like, I used to be that girl that was like, why?Sheryne Wilson: 00:57:54 Like, if I saw a man cry, be like, why are you crying? Like why? And now when I'm in the presence of a man that cries, I'm like, I will hold space. Like I'm holding a child, excuse my language. But it's like, that is the most probably privileged state to, for a woman to ever be when a man shows real raw emotion. And I've learned to really appreciate, harness, captivate hold that, um, because it's just not allowed. And if men had more safe places to do that, the world would be a different place. And if women had more safe place to step into the masculine while being feminine, because we kind of went to the extreme, like w like before it was like women were like, you know, like these weak feeble, like stay at home, love me, you know, like just weak and feeble, whatever.Sheryne Wilson: 00:58:50 And then we swung and we're like, I want to be a bad ass bitch. And like, we want to like step into this masculine role. And it's like, I want the career and I want to pop out babies. And I want to look good and wear skinny jeans while doing it. And then we realized that we all started getting sick and dying and burning out. And we started castrating men because it's just not like, not meant to be like, we went so far to the extreme. Right. And like how many women were breaking down, like we're on my table. And they're like, I just understand what's happening. My hair's falling out, running a corporate nine to five job. I'm, you know, managing millions of dollars. Like they've stepped in this giant corporate masculine role. And they're like the queen at home too. Like, you know, taking charge of their family. And they're like, I don't know why I'm burnt out. And I'm like, well, because you have a uterus and your purpose is to nurture. So like, if you abandoned that you're going to burn out in the other ways. So I think it's about kind of finding that balance of like, yeah, I can be a bad-ass pitch and still cry, you know, and take a break and men can be, you know, corporate gurus or, you know, Kings of their household and have a bad day.Mischa Z: 01:00:05 Yeah. And not have it be a vicious bad day. Right. Like a lot of times that perhaps a bad day for man that justifies our, unloading our emotions in an unhealthy way. Right. Instead of crying or, or in a softer feminine sort of way where like agro or aggressive or vocal or intimidating, or, you know, um, maybe not encouraged how to like deal with that bad day. And, uh, in a, in a, in a, in a healthier manner, shall we say,Sheryne Wilson: 01:00:45 Well, it's because we've been repressed too for so long, you know, so many women are like, men are like Jeckel and Hyde. It's like, CA can you blame them? Like they have to play this role of like macho man or, you know, hero all day. And then it's like, they are just shoving their emotions down. And then you're asking them why they bought the wrong kind of cottage cheese. Right. And they're just like, like, I can't handle that anymore. And they just snap. And you're like, oh my God, what's your problem. And it's like, really? You know,Mischa Z: 01:01:21 Oh my god.Sheryne Wilson: 01:01:21 So hard. You know, women, I'm not saying women have it any easier. This is not about who has it easier or harder. It's something needs to change, you know, like, yeah. And I think, I think honestly, the feminine is leading the change. And if, because we, we are the ones that birth the child and therefore we create the life. And so you create the standards you create, you can create a lot more than you think.Mischa Z: 01:01:50 Yeah. Yeah. Thank you for that. When you say sovereign, what do you meanSheryne Wilson: 01:01:56 I'm addicted this word right now, sovereign sovereign is like, um, gracefully taking your authority is a, it's an, it's a deep knowing of, um, empowerment, um, sovereign, like, you know who you are, you know, where you're going. It's like, I picture this very like, um, noble queen, just taking her throne. The chaos is going on and she just leans forward and just says, you know, something really nurturing. And just knowing that you are handling the situation, you know who you are. You're not out of fear. And it's, there's a lot of grace and power that comes forth like sovereign.Mischa Z: 01:02:35 Does that make sense? It does. Thank you. I love that. Um, that's good. You, when you talk about women can heal men. What pops to my mind is not literally like needing to take action to heal them. It's it's like allowing, allowing for, for healing. You hold space. I guess we could, because I wrote down hold space. I think, I think that as a guy, like to me, I, I, when I quit my job so I can hold space for my boys. And what does that mean? That means I can be there for them. And oftentimes I didn't even need to do anything, but just be in the living room so that when they opened the door and looked out, they're like, yeah, dad's there. This is a safe space, right. Hold space. Without, without having to do anything else other than listen, or be there or hug or right. Does that, yeah. So go ahead. Go, go.Sheryne Wilson: 01:03:40 Yeah. No, I think like females are so used to them being in chaos and so used to them being rescued and being part of the, like being the problem, because we can, we just we're dramatic. We can be more dramatic, more emotional. And if women learn to rescue themselves and find that masculine energy that can rescue themselves and just chill the out, like that gives men the space to talk, because how many times has a man walked in the door or you've gone out to meet them. And you're like, oh my God, let me tell you about my day. And you just like, every woman does this. And it's just like "Blah", and they just vomit. And then they're like, what, why aren't you talking to me? Why aren't you sharing me? Why aren't you opening up? And the guy's like, because you're a disaster dude.Sheryne Wilson: 01:04:29 Like, and, you know, they're taught to like rescue the woman. So they're sitting there in silence, you know, cause that's how they don't know what to do. And it's like, if women just were like, learn to take care of deal with their own, you know, like you can save yourself and then once you deal with your own, that allows space for a man to be like, Hey, you're okay, because you're okay. Can I come cry on your lap? And you're like, yeah, yeah, here, here. And I'm not going to castrate you for it. Like, I'm not going to emasculate you while you do it. I'm going to still look at you tomorrow. Like you're a king, like, and certainly I get super passionate about it. I still,Sheryne Wilson: 01:05:12 And I I've had to learn this. I'm still learning this.Mischa Z: 01:05:18 I love it. Great, great lessons. Great. Great. Yes. Um, um, just quick time check. Um, I think I'm going to say, I think that, uh, the universe just had a great question for me to ask you, so thank you so much for that. Um, thank you so much for that. Um, I, I, was there anything that, um, you were hoping to speak on when you jumped on the podcast here that you didn't get a chance to talk about that?Sheryne Wilson: 01:05:53 No, I mean, I was, I'm such an open and easy going flow, whatever. Um, I didn't know what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised and I, as you know, there's multiple topics that I can and share about and, and I just kinda went with your leadings. So I think it's great.Mischa Z: 01:06:13 Well, fantastic. Um, again, everybody for more www.innermindperformance.com, When I'm looking over here, I'm looking at your website, which is super cool and there's some great programs and offerings and things to help to help people.

On a zoom call I floated the idea "We can have happiness in any moment that happiness is a decision".  But it made me realize I didn't give the steps to achieve said happiness.  Because if we can decide to be happy at any moment, that doesn't mean we're going to be happy in the moment, It means we've got to take next steps.  Let’s discuss some of those steps.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Z: 00:02 I am going to talk about that we can have happiness in any moment. That happiness is a decision and what are some implications of that.  And what is a more effective way for me to talk about that? And I, I, because I realized like today I wrote down that, yeah, we can have happiness in any moment. And happiness is a decision. And then I ended up on this zoom group meeting where I got to lead a talk, or I got to share first. And so I got to talk about that idea, that happiness is a decision then I think, and what happens is inevitably somebody goes to the extreme circumstance. Well, if you had this circumstance that is so extreme, of course you can't decide to be happy in this circumstance. And I framed that as well. And, and, um, what I realized though, well. What I realized after some other people had shared and discussed was that I gave no steps or no framework.Mischa Z: 01:22 So I just floated idea, and then it can sound great, but I'm not like here's actionable. Here's how it's actionable or going a little bit deeper with it. And so I had said, you know, Hey, happiness is a decision. Oftentimes when we talk about that, somebody are automatically goes to the extreme. I sent that to, so then I got to pick someone to share next. So I picked someone to share next, and that person says "I disagree because here's the circumstances". And that when I floated the idea, I said, you know, we can be happy in any moment in spite of our circumstances, like, if we're depending on circumstances for our happiness, that's an exercise in futility. And so this person said, well, "I disagree", which is cool. And we were having fun. And I was laughing at myself. And so she said, Hey, you know, I've got a sister who's one of my daughters just got real sick. My other daughter just broke her neck and something else happened. And so she's like, "I can't be happy".Mischa Z: 02:58 And the thing is, there's no opportunity to rebut. So I was just listening and going, huh, that's interesting. You know, that's, those can be seemingly times when you can not be happy. Right. And so there was great conversation back, or there was a great conversation with other people as they talked about it. Um, but it really got me thinking that, okay, "What if happiness is a decision"? "What are the steps to happiness?" Because I think if you decide to be, if we can decide to be happy at any moment, that doesn't mean we're going to be happy in the moment we've got to take next steps. And that was sort of my aha, like breakthrough thinking right there. The next time I have an opportunity in front of people, or if I'm having a discussion with a friend or an interested, willing listener, the captive audience, like you on this podcast right now that let's talk about the steps. So I think first, clearly you need to be willing. You need to be willing to think that that's possible. Maybe you don't. I think it would be nice. Like that lady clearly was not willing. She's like, no, I'm not willing. She already, the circumstances popped up in her head. She was in a state of, of unhappiness, as she said in the moment, I'm not happy because of my two daughters who are going through distress.Mischa Z: 04:39 And, uh, which makes me think of a lot of great stuff of, of, of, of, about that. But I'll save that for, for either if I have enough time here or for another episode. So let me get back to it. So, okay. Happiness is a decision. I'm willing to be happy. Okay. So what's the next thing. The next thing is, all right. One tool would be to take a big breath in and a big breath out. Just let that powerful breath that God centered breath can pull you into the moment. And then what would be a next step you could do, you could talk to your higher power or that thing that is greater than you, that hopefully you can put some, some belief into or trust into or something again. And so perhaps you could, uh, turn to that. Grow your God, shall we say?Mischa Z: 05:48 So I love that idea. Next time I have the opportunity in public to talk about happiness as a choice or a decision then to say, all right, Hey, we gotta be willing be we gotta take a big breath in. And then, you know, C, D N E for example, and I don't have C, D E. That's all out of the top of my head, but, but, uh, you know, what do I do because I am working on happiness in the moment. So the big deep breath, and then talking to God, and if I am in the state of resentment, do the resentment tools. If I'm in a state of fear about a situation, what are the, you know, is it, is, is a big breath in and a prayer enough, or do I need to pull out pen and paper or do I need to grab some of my literature that reinforces happiness in the moment? Or, you know, I'm just thinking about all these cool ways to come back to the moment.Mischa Z: 07:14 And I will... In a perfect world, I'd have had more of those penciled out before I started recording this episode. But I think you get what I'm saying. And I think I would have been more effective today on that zoom group meeting that I got to lead. If I would have, when I floated the idea that you can "happiness is a decision" that I could have given examples, real life, examples of myself, and how did I, what were the steps I took to bring, to bring me back to happiness in the moment? So, um, there you have it. That's what, uh, you know, I, I guess to, you know, I'm on this two CCX, this Russell Brunson thing, this learning how to be a more effective storyteller, a more effective teacher, a more to carry a more poignant message. And so that's what really got me thinking about, about the happiness in the moment. I'm like, oh yeah, I'm saying that, but I'm not perhaps talking about the, learned it and earned it, or here's the framework and the steps, here's this here's I gave you the strategy. Now here's the tactics you can use, um, to achieve that.Mischa Z: 08:52 And, uh, you know, there's, there is some literature that was, yes, thank you. Sorry, I'm a bit scattered, but, or, or pinging around, but I realize as well that I could have referenced some literature that is powerful, that affirms that idea. And it's common literature that is common knowledge, style literature, you know? And, uh, so I can be like, Hey, if you believe that this person is valid in their thinking, then, you know, here's the literature that they've produced. Here's what they say to do. Right. Okay. Does that, does that make sense? Am I making sense here people? I hope so. Um, happiness is a decision. We need to be a willing, then we need to at least take a breath, big breath in long breath out to come back to the moment. And then perhaps depending on what type of discontent is it, is it some fears of losing what I have or not getting what I want? Or is it, is it, you know, Familia, family, tension, strife, kids being sick, or I, I dunno, you get it. I'm done. I'm just digging the, digging the hole deeper. I hope this episode gets published.

For this episode, I have written down just because I cannot comprehend. It does not mean it is not true, or that people are not experienced experiencing it as my awareness and perception grows. Um, I'm not sure why I wrote down that down this morning. I can tell you this. I will talk about that in a second here, but first off I was just going to say, sometimes I'll be inspired with an idea, and then I think I'll just tackle it later when I could just oftentimes record in the moment. And I think there's, there's value in waiting and seeing if the idea nurtures and develops later, or if it indeed goes away because it could always come back. But, um, because I think there's also value in perhaps when an idea comes, go record on it and take action or write on it and take action.Mischa Z: 01:15 But there's a delicate balance there between, between sticking with what you're doing and coming back to the idea later or stopping what you're doing and writing down the, and, and, and recording. Obviously I'm doing a podcast. So recording the episode in the moment. So I remember distinctly this morning, as I wrote down that idea, I was like, oh yeah, this will be great to do later. And my gut was like, you should probably just do it now, but I didn't. Thank you for listening to that, just because I cannot comprehend. It does not mean it is not true or that people are not experiencing it. And as my awareness and perception grows, I start to see that, oh yeah, maybe people have comprehended what I deemed uncomprehendable or maybe people are experiencing what I believed people couldn't experience, or people have insights to what I deem non insightable, if that's even a word.Mischa Z: 02:46 And I, I think about it this way, because people would talk with me, you know, over the years as I've been in recovery and talked higher powers and, and things, and I'm sure everybody has this experience. You might come across a friend or an associate, or just a random person who is convicted in their belief of God or Jesus Christ. For example, I think that's an easy one to point to. Um, but when people are convicted in their belief of God and I'm like, well, I can't comprehend God. So therefore I believe you can't comprehend God. Or my experience might be more of the educational variety or, or, you know, a limited or from a completely different angle. So therefore I'm like, yeah, since I can't comprehend it, what you say is, excuse my language. Right. I would historically have contempt for somebody's ideas in that regard, or I would hear them out, but, but not believe it. And, uh, as I continued to do, you know, dig deep on some spiritual ideas and I'm getting more insights, I'm starting to see like, oh yeah. You know, perhaps people are gifted in that regard. And I'm not saying I am, or that I've got, got real insight, but I definitely feel like I'm nudging closer. And I think I've said this before, but I'll say it again in the Bhagavad Gita, I believe it is.Mischa Z: 05:00 Krishna's basically telling, I think it's our Juna is, uh, is telling him, Hey, you know, you will not get an insight into what's on the other side of death until you stare into the face of death. And that it's not literal. He's not meaning like you literally have to experience a near death. He's saying until you're willing to meditate on it, think about it, experience it that way mentally. Or I don't know if experience is the right word, but really, yeah. Let your, let your mind go there. Perhaps you will not get surety that there is another side or, or, and whatever that is. I'm not saying there is another side for me, it's manifesting like this. So I I've a number of years ago started meditating on death. And so I will honestly tell you right now that in some meditative moments I've experienced the ego dying and it's like a flash instant horrifying, scary moment, right.Mischa Z: 06:27 Like to be like, oh yeah, the way that I relate to this world is going to, change, and experiencing that. And that's pretty extreme. And I now know the feeling when it, when it's coming on and I know how to look into it and I want it actually to, I want that experience to happen. I want to feel that. And because it's a reality. And so I'm like, I don't want to hide or run from it any, any more. And, and so I've been doing that and it doesn't happen all the time and, and this might sound way out there and kind of whooy phooey, but it is the nature of some things that I'm up to these days. And so, as I've started to experience that, I have started to have an idea of that. We're all one. And so death is not what I think it is. How's that, and really start to... Not intellectually, but, uh, maybe subconsciously, uh, right there on the conscious start to embody it and feel it and know it. I can't talk about it very well yet, but, uh, to go, okay, yeah, I'm getting glimpses of something beyond. Where before I was like, yeah, no way. And anybody who talks about it is full of crap. That's the point of this?Mischa Z: 08:20 And just because I cannot comprehend, it does not mean it is not true or that other people are not experiencing it or comprehending it. And as my awareness and perception grows, shifts, changes, matures. I start to see that, oh yeah. There's, uh, I'm getting glimpses tastes of the, of these things. And then even more I'm like, oh yeah, there's people out there that are way knowledgeable or insightful in this arena. And so I think that's pretty cool. Um, so I think about it too, you know, I think about the physical. Physically, it's easy for us to be like, oh yeah, there's, there's physically gifted people that can do things that I can't do, and we can see it and it's easy to quantify. And it's like, wow, I don't know how someone's, you know, doing what Michael Jordan does for example, or, you know, Steph Curry hitting three half court court, three point shots seemingly at well, it's like, yeah, that's a visually.Mischa Z: 09:51 Yeah, I guess just because I can't do it doesn't mean it can't be done or thought up or what have you. Or sometimes we can see that with really smart scientists, people, super smart thinkers. Like sometimes I, uh, I'll watch, uh, what's the guy's name Russell brand, that comedian, that dude is smart. And he's thinking about lots of cool stuff. I don't agree with all of it. Some of it I definitely agree with, but he's a cool thinker, clearly, very smart and, um, funny. And, uh, and so he sort of backs up what I'm saying there as well. It's like, yeah, that guy thinks contemplates meditates on things that, uh, I doubt if I'll ever... He thinks about and talks about a lot of political stuff. I'm like, that dude is like, he's politically tapped in. So it's pretty cool. It's pretty cool. Anyhow, there you go. I, uh, told you about I'm on this. Kick tell you what I'm going to say. Say it, and then tell you what I said. So we just discussed just because I cannot comprehend. It does not mean it is not true or that people are not experiencing it. Okay. I'm done.

I'm going to do my best to get this episode done. I'll also say there's been a cricket that got into the house. It's driving me bananas, hiding so loud and found the general area where he is, but he is doing a very good job of hiding. Very concerned that cricket will start cricketing as I'm recording TMI too much information. This episode is about miscommunication, MISS communication. People hear what they want to hear, or they hear what they're going to hear even better. And it's definitely different than what I'm trying to get across. I'm absolutely noticing these days, how I'll be talking to people. And one I'll say something and they'll completely just not even pretend to have heard. So there's that people clearly just aren't listening. So there's that, but this is more of people are listening, but they are not hearing what I am saying.Mischa Z: 01:31 And I say that with love more of just out of miscommunication. And I'm noticing a lot with my friends, I will be talking and they won't get it, or I'll try to say what I heard from them. And it's just missing the mark. And, um, I think it's funny a lot of times neither side is aware. So I'm definitely having awareness of how, of how the other party just doesn't get it. And I'm laughing. And I think it's always been happening. I'm just aware of it now. And it really came to light with my who, Andrea. And, um, I use this, I'm using this email automation system called Active Campaign. And one of the things you can do is create automations and then automation is an email sequence. And so you'll create your automation and then you'll do your first email. And then you put, wait one week or wait one day or wait four hours, whatever you want.Mischa Z: 02:55 And then you'll put your next email. And then you put, wait a week, for example. So that way you would send an email a week, but you can pre pre write your emails. So after the summit was done, it was very important for me to try and get a couple of emails out. And, um, she was suggesting that I build an automation in Active Campaign. Active campaign is relatively new to me, and she's very competent with it, but most of what she is done for me on the summit, that project is complete. So now I get a run solo for awhile. And, uh, so she was showing me the basics of active campaign. And I set up my first, I created my automation. I set up the first email and then there are little buttons. So there's the new email and it's like a button and then there's a plus sign.Mischa Z: 03:58 And then it says, wait for one week. And so I kept on asking her, well, how I don't want it to wait for one week. As soon as this email is created, I want it to send. And she's like, well, don't worry. We'll sort that out there, we're going to do another, I can't remember what she called it. Another, add another tag or something like that or workflow or something. I can't remember what it was. And I was really confused and I kept on saying, well, wait a minute. That doesn't make any sense. How come you know, I'm going to put the email in there. And she says, you make it active. You make your campaign active, put your email in there. And then you put the wait one week bubble in there. And then I'm like, this doesn't make any sense. She said, don't worry about it.Mischa Z: 04:47 Don't worry about it. And we had this dialogue two or three different times on different occasions. Finally, I get my email done the other day. I make, I put the email in, I make the, I make the, um, campaign active. And, um, you can do test emails before, so you can create your emails and then do a test email so you can test it to make sure, okay. So I tested a few times and I get it to where I'm like, oh yeah, that's good enough. I'll throw it in the system, make it active. And since I think it thinks it's going to wait a week and then I have to trick it to send it sooner. That's how I think the system works, that when I make the system live and I put the email in there, I think the email is going to wait a week to go out unless we trick it to go out sooner. And I think she's going to tell me the trick. So I get the email to where it's good enough. I'm like, oh yeah, I'll just make the active and did a couple of tests and yeah, let's make it active. It's good to go. And now we'll just continue to edit the email until we trick it to go out.Mischa Z: 06:10 So I make it active. And all of a sudden it goes out to 400 people or 350 or whatever it is. And I'm like, wait a minute. Well, it went out to me to my official email address that I get the, the official emails from when everybody else gets an email. So do I. So I get that email at that address. And I'm like, wait a minute. That doesn't make any sense. I just shouldn't have gotten that yet. But I'm like, huh, whatever. I'll, I'll coordinate with Andrea. So I let Andrea know, Hey, you know, the automation is done and dah, dah, dah, what's the next steps. This was late at night. And so the next day she says, oh yeah, the automation went out and 35% of the people have opened the email. And I said, what? I said, I thought that it was on the wait for a week and that we needed to do something to get it sent out. And she goes, oh no, no, no, no. It gets sent out. As soon as you make an active, I'm like, I thought we had this conversation three times. She goes, oh no, no, no, no, no. The weight of week is till the next email. So you have four days now to get that next email done. And I'm like, what?Mischa Z: 07:32 And I, even as I tell you that story right now, I was aghast. I was laughing. I was like, how did we have that miscommunication? I asked her three times. I asked her in a perplexed nature. I was like, you've got to explain this to me. It doesn't make any sense. And um, she thought I was asking something else because all of a sudden the email went out anyway. So I was just like, oh my gosh, I, I what's the lesson to be learned there a with the person that you're hiring, it's like, figure out how to ask the question in different ways and get confirmation, because I don't even know. It doesn't matter. I told her, I said, how however we so on different pages. And she says, I have no idea, but she was laughing about it too. How funny humans are.Mischa Z: 08:35 So there you go. The miscommunications between people and how I'm just seeing it all around me, friends that aren't listening. What was some more that I, I wrote down, I am seeing more and more examples of this. How well am I listening? Question mark, am I hearing that people are not understanding me? And I think that, that is the great question. Am I hearing that people aren't understanding me and, and can I, can I verbalize that and fix and fix that, especially when it comes to work, because as I get more projects going, I'm going to be communicating with more and more people. And, uh, yeah. Can I hear that they aren't hearing hearing me right. Anyway. I don't know if this episode makes any sense or if you all have that same experience, but there you go. Miscommunications, people hear what they want to hear, or even better. They hear what they're going to hear. And I think that that's what Andrea was doing. She was hearing what she wanted to hear. Anyway, I'm done peace out, not bad for 1130 at night.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

Continued progress!  I am finding my voice as I speak on somebody's summit and a podcast.  The pressure valve is released as I get the first email out to my new list. Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  These are the best mobile mic's for IOS and Android phones.  You can literally take them anywhere on the fly.Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic for IOS,  https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet the Shure MV88+ for  mobile mic for Android  https://amzn.to/3ly8SNjGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript: Mischa Z: 00:02 I am going camping and, um, a few days and it hit me. Oh, no, I've got to have pod cast episodes teed up and ready for Friday. So I got to have my, I have to have my interview published for, for Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, I've got to publish four episodes, have them ready, batch publishing. I'm not sure quite what the term is after publishing 287 episodes. That's how many episodes I've published. There'll be 300 by the time you hear this, which is pretty awesome, but I am going camping to step away from it all for three days up in Mammoth, we'll be doing 10 miles a day. So we'll probably clock 20 to 30 miles in three days. So that'll be super fun. Mammoth, Mammoth lakes, June lakes up in, um, by, uh, where is that in California? Kinda, um, past Whitney and all that.Mischa Z: 01:22 So very excited to get away and do all that. Um, I was on a couple of things I wanted to discuss. I'm trying to get in the habit of say what you're going to say. Say it then say what you've said. So where was I? Oh my gosh, I already lost track. Can't even tell you what I was going to say. So I could say it and then tell you what I said, um, has tremendous insecurities about my podcast. And I was just doing a little journaling, a little prayer, you know, writing and such, and the thought came, don't worry about your podcast. Keep at it, just keep at it. I've been thinking a lot about finding my voice. People talk about they have found their voice or they're finding their voice or, or Russell Brunson is like just publish every day and soon enough you'll find your voice.Mischa Z: 02:29 And I'm thinking, what the heck does that even mean? Find your voice because I definitely don't know if I'm any closer to finding my voice. However, I believe I got a glimmer, a glimpse of finding my voice today. So I was interviewed for a summit, the forgiveness zone subnet, I think it was called the forgiveness, something summit, forgiveness, something summit. Um, and I felt like ego ugly. I did good. Like the Connie who interviewed me was, was excited. I felt like, like she, she felt like whatever she was looking for, I was able to provide. Good insights, good content, good conversation, good content for her summit listeners. And so I worked hard on telling some stories, having specific, actionable, you know, a framework to work with some, some tactics strategy and then a tactic. And then, um, you know, also try and reference, you know, where I learned some things, so who I learned things from.Mischa Z: 03:52 So I think that I was getting a glimpse of finding my voice appropriate stories at the appropriate times. And then I was on this podcast today. I got interviewed for somebody's podcast, Shereen Wilson's inner mind podcast, and Shareen's super cool NLP, um, hypnotherapy. Um, she's good about, uh, nutrition, but definitely in her mind stuff. And she was very excited about the conversation that we had after it, and very much enjoyed the stories that I told. And I tried to tell stories. I was like, all right, tell some stories to highlight your point. You know, um, I guess as Russell Brunson would say how you've learned it and earned it and you, no, I definitely felt like I had this moment of, I think I'm finding my voice was so fleeting, whatever that thought was or idea was, has since slipped away, but that's all right.Mischa Z: 05:13 The habit for a moment was super cool. And I think sort of what finding your voices perhaps is being able to be meaningful in my conversation, be useful of service, helpful, you know, like getting a little bit closer to what is my niche. Um, but as I've said, many times on this podcast, I have been in recovery for decades three and a half decades. And it started for me when I was very young. You know, recovery took hold for me when I was 17 years and nine months old. And it's been, you know, sobriety ever since lots of been very active in recovery in 12 steps.Mischa Z: 06:02 And what was really cool as I've made a commitment to try to bring that, those stories that lens of my life, two audiences that normally wouldn't get to hear it, I guess, is how I would say it. So it was fun to tell a stories that I might normally tell in a different environment, in a new environment to a new audience. And it felt like the path was really good. And so that was really empowering, I suppose, is the word I would say, or again, a moment of, oh, maybe I am finding my voice to have somebody to have those stories resonate, the poignant, carry a message, carry learning for somebody where I was able to teach and give somebody insights outside of the normal environment that I would present those stories to was very cool. So very excited about that.Mischa Z: 07:24 Um, that was one thing I wanted to talk about there. I'm not doing a good job of what I was going to talk about what I talked about and then you get it. So another really cool thing I've been meaning to, you know, I just was able to let go of a lot of expectations and a lot of, um, need to be done or need to have this done. Or I was feeling a lot of pressure coming out of the summit of needing to have email sequences done. And that's really funny, man. I I've been wanting to get this email out to the summit audience about, Hey, it was recommended to me that the first email you can send that should be easy as, Hey, I've got this podcast, listen, check it out, follow subscribe. Well, it took me 10 days to get that email out.Mischa Z: 08:33 I finally, well, I've got it prepped. It's ready to go. And now I just, my who and active campaign need to cooperate with me so it can go out, but effectively it's written and teed up in the sequence, but I woke up this morning convicted. I just knew in my heart, you're getting this done day today. Just get it done, get it teed up, get it ready. And um, I guess I want to, what I'm going to say in that regard is I knew that it was going to get done, that it was okay. That it's all right. That it took 10 days instead of one day. Um, what else? Just this pressure it's like this pressure valve was released. It was just like, it's all okay. Like you're where, you're where you're supposed to be. You're learning what you need to learn and you are where you are and you can, yeah, you can take extremely messy, messy action and still be, I dunno if productive is the right word, but carry a message effective.Mischa Z: 09:53 There we go. Still be effective. So just internalizing that at least in the moment feels really, really good. Um, so there you have it. I talked about, um, camping, so excited, kind of have these E uh, episodes teed up and ready to go. Um, I feel like at least I've had glimmers of finding my voice glimpses of finding my voice via speaking on a summit and somebody else's podcast. So that's kind of fun. And uh, yeah, I got that last. I got my email, my email to the summit audience finally is done the first one. It took me 10 days versus one. Anyhow, hopefully the next email will take a day. Peace out, everybody enjoy the ride.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

A couple of things going through my mind today, this morning, um, sort of coming out of the summit, there's a lot of minutiae stuff to do. And along the lines of, you know, this pressure, well, well, the, I need to clean up my Facebook profile and then join there's this way. You can start to build an audience. You pick three to five Facebook groups that are people that you want to interact with and you every morning, do a value post and respond to three questions on those in those groups. And part of that is having the, they, the group I'm in encourage you to have your Facebook profile cleaned up first. Doesn't have to be perfect, but just, you know, a certain way, like, um, how do I describe the certain way?Mischa Z: 02:00 Save it for another, another episode. Um, and then along with that, Rachel Miller, I heard this little talk from Rachel Rachel Miller, and she encourages you to post once a day and gives you some cool ways to post. But again, her thing is, one of her things is have your profile cleaned up. So I need to clean up my profile. Is there sort of next steps? One of the other next steps was start emailing my list. So a 400 person list that I now have coming out of the summit. And so in a perfect world, I would be emailing that list consistently and that some point have an offer for that list or a product to sell. So the first email I was to send was one saying, Hey, here's my podcast, listen like subscribe. And of course my podcast name is Bitch Slap ...The Accelerated Path To Peace.Mischa Z: 03:12 And all of a sudden I had tremendous insecurities around my podcast name. I was like, man, I'm going to perhaps offend some people. And so coach Vince very graciously said, Hey, we do want to have a little bit of a polarizing, you know, you've got your middle ground, which is boring, the center, which is boring. And we don't need to think of this in terms of politics. I think when we start saying center left and right, people will automatically think politics, but you can think of it however you want. But so the center is boring, then you've got your extreme left and right, which is the crazies let's say. And then in between center and left and in between center and right is polarizing. And so a polarizing message and what we're up to can be good because you want people to, um, either be all in or be like still listening, but Pissed off. Perhaps is a way to say it, or you're, you're sparking them to think, I'm just recording it.Mischa Z: 04:30 Recording, go got a podcast episode every day. Sometimes it's easy. Sometimes it's challenging. Now I get to do an email every day and commit to that email every day to my email list. So I have tremendous fear around that. Um, but I get to do that. Um, and then the next thing on the list, there's a few things going on, refine my avatar and what is the problem I'm going to solve? I've got to nail down the avatar and the problem I'm going to solve. And so coming out of the summit, I have a much better idea of the avatar or I can clean up my avatar, refine my avatar as well as, um, as well as the problem I will solve for them. So there, that's kind of cool. Um, and then, um, I've got to come up with a product or my web hell, what am I, what the solution, what's it going to be? Um, so all of that together in a big pile, I'm like, I can't do it. So I have screened phrase all of that together in a pile and there's some more stuff I'm sure I've forgotten. Um, but that's the general outline of next steps. And boy, when I look at it all as one big pile, I'm like, I can't do any of it and this'll never happen.Mischa Z: 06:15 So I'm focused on, let's get the email together to send to my list, talking about the podcast and clean up the Facebook profile, then that will create space for the next two steps. Um, thank you for listening. Hopefully if you're trying new things and growing to new ideas and perhaps leaving a job and starting a new job or starting a new business, you will relate to much of this and how it can feel overwhelming and, and the fear, the fear that can creep in, like I'll never get it done. This will never happen. How can I possibly, um, how can this possibly monetize too? That's another question. The fears around monetization.Mischa Z: 07:25 How about that for a stream of consciousness? How about that for this stream of conscious ness, I'm endeavoring to persevere the outlaw, Josey Wales, keep at it. I can tell you the value of a coach was so powerful. I talked to coach my coach Vince today, and it was so good. Like he, um, I don't think he was trying to do this, but the way he was talking about next steps and all this and, and, and helping me craft a vision for moving forward, it was all assumptive. Like, this is this just the next step you'd do on your way to success. And, uh, that felt really good. It's like, oh yeah, okay. Of course this is just the natural next step. So you do it, not even questioning whether I should be taking the next steps. That is the key bit, right? Like, no, you just do these next things.Mischa Z: 08:34 Cause that's where you are on your way to success. And when I say success, you know, with the business, yeah, we'll see more, will be revealed. I'm trying to detach my ego from that. But of course, as we're crafting new business opportunities, you hope success is the natural outcome. And I love this following the steps. I talk about this all the time, follow the steps of the program you are going to choose to follow. And it's almost like the results have to materialize. Now the timing of all that, that's another story. Um, but anyway, I'm right in the middle of that. I, uh, yeah. So lastly, let me just say that I am consciously right now trying to be easy on myself, about where I am in this process, where I am as I'm tackling the next pile of stuff to do, because that can be a source of egoic frustration.Mischa Z: 09:56 I should be farther on not far enough. You start, I can beat myself up. I start to compare compare mode. Um, and I think one of the big lessons for me to learn is to be happy where I am in regards to this type of stuff too. Like many aspects of my life. I'm completely happy where I am and on the journey and enjoying the ride, this type of business thing. Sometimes I can want the nugget at the end now to satisfy my insecurities, my ego, um, you know, quell my fears when it's still all about the journey and, and embracing the moment. Yes. And then how can I be of service? Of course. So my hope is, as I'm doing episodes now, I'm consciously more of these days. It's it's, I'm trying to think, yes. Is this, am I being of service? So I hope this is of service to you. The listener. Let's create, let's try new things. Let's live our passions. I'm going to attack the big pile, the front, the front little edges of the pile craft my first email, inviting everybody to the podcast and, uh, cleaning up my Facebook profile. All right, peace out. I will report back. Hopefully that those two things are done on the next episode.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

Part of this coaching group has gotten me to publishing every day, hence this episode, that this podcast that you're listening to right now, the slap the accelerated path to peace podcast and also the summit, the tools for a good life summit. Those are two things that I've done. And now I'm tasked with putting myself out there more on Facebook groups and trying to build a bigger audience and, and start driving some organic traffic versus paid traffic. So that's kind of cool. Right. But I'm definitely nervous about, do I have the capacity to daily, you know, do those, do those things. Um, so that's like a question that I've got in my mind.Mischa Z: 01:15 Um, also hold please, the last episode, um, the interweb crashed and, uh, right in the middle of the episode. And so the recording popped up, so I was like, oh my gosh, you have to see if I have to redo it, do it, or whatever, sorry, diversion, perhaps I'll edit this section out when I go to, uh, to, uh, editing this part, this podcast episode. Um, so yeah, the two CCX got me publishing every day on a podcast. I did a summit to start building a list and developing relationships with people on my dream 100. People who I would like to work with, collaborate with, communicate, with develop relationships with in the space that I am playing. And now it's time to start creating products, offerables , something to offer you the people.Mischa Z: 02:26 And that's what I will do. Year two, hopefully is start creating offer interested in and trying to create funnels to drive sales of said product. Products. Um, and so the last episode will, what if I wasn't worried about money? Because up to this point, it's been a losing financial proposition and it was, well, gosh, if money wasn't an object, heck guide, do it. Cause I'm having fun and learning and being of service and all these things. So the next question was to help me with this decision was keep who I can help in focus. So again, I'm looking to renew the two CCX, which is a high-end coaching program. So it was expensive and I'm like, oh my gosh, should I do this? And what am I going to do? And it can be such a big thing in the universe, God source. Hm.Mischa Z: 03:35 The infinite intelligence dropped the thought into my head, keep who I can help and focus. So that avatar, that avatar, that elusive, um, that elusive, uh, ideal of who I can help. And so I did have who, who can I help? So I did a little bit of writing and this was who I can help. Um, I can help, I help growth minded high-performers move beyond the constant worries of money, which is funny. Cause I'm just was talking about financial worries. Hopefully I'll move past that and just sign on the line that is dotted. And the need for relationships so that they can thrive in the second half of life.Mischa Z: 04:31 So if I can keep that person in mind, those high performers who write like I was a high performer and one of the best decisions I ever made was quitting my high performing career to do what other things that my heart was calling me to do. And throughout my life, I've made many hard decisions like that, that have all been awesome and led to a really cool life I'd life. Actually that my son said to me the other day, I did an episode about this. I want to have cool experiences like that. I want to have cool adventures like that. So I've had a very adventurous life, which is super fun to think about. So that provided me sort of some freedom to, to be like, yeah, all I need to do is keep that ideal in mind being of service to that person out there.Mischa Z: 05:32 Cause that was a place I was suffering, right? Like I was suffering. I was in a job that I didn't want to be in. And I was stuck in there because my identity of being a successful mortgage banker kept me there. Um, society's pressure of, "you've got to know what to do next". You've gotta be earning, producing succeeding. I was a type sales like I was, was in it and, and I knew my time was done, but I couldn't leave. As a matter of fact, I had the full godfather moment of, of quitting and then divorce happened like quitting. I, I did actually, I was out of it. And the judge, the judge I had taken of a vocational evaluation, I believe is what you called it. And they're like, sorry, my friend, you have child support and alimony to pay. And the one thing you know, how to do well currently is mortgage banking. So we know you can do it. So we're going to assume that you are and assign a financial number based on what you could be making if you were in mortgage banking. And um, at the time I was like "sh*t". Sorry about the language godfather moment. "Every time I leave you pull me back in". So, um, I ended up back in mortgages.Mischa Z: 07:12 Isn't that funny? So anyway, I was finally able to leave, but it was a very tough decision. I did some heavy, heavy, cool work that helped me realize instantly all of a sudden I was like, oh my God, it's time to go. I see that. I see the vision for the future, which happened to be a stay at home. Dad gave me the courage to be a stay at home dad to my then a tween and teen boys, two boys. Um, so that was a heavy dark place for me. If that transitional point until I finally had the courage to, or, or I saw like take the leap, take the leap, quit the job.Mischa Z: 08:03 It's okay that you don't see what's next because I did not see what was next. It gave me the courage to walk away without knowing what was next. And boy it was so beautiful and one of the best, best decisions I ever made. And if there's previous episodes where I talk about the depth of despair that brought me to that moment, um, you know, breakups, all kinds of things. Uh, yeah. So if I can keep that person in focus that I can help them, not quite sure how yet, perhaps, maybe the summit helped. Maybe these podcast episodes are helping some of you out there who are in that state.Mischa Z: 08:55 But I had the, you know, somebody else told me when I was wanting to vamanos or, or leave the 2CCX when it came time to brass tacks for the sonnet. And I could, I either needed to leave the two CCX or tackle the summit in Kent said, Kent said "you're being selfish, Mischa. You've got people to help buckle down, do the summit, quit being selfish". And I was like. And so there, it was again, keep who I can help in focus. So there you go. That, and if what I wasn't worried about money, those two things, you know, if I was like, yeah, the money thing will sort itself out. It always does have always have has. And that doesn't mean there's going to be more riches or this or that or the other thing, or it doesn't mean I won't have to have a roommate or something like that, or who knows if I had parents to go live with it wouldn't mean that I wouldn't have to move back in with mom and dad I'm way far away from that. But those are funny that those fears can sort of materialize.Mischa Z: 10:25 And as long as I focus on service, the answer is clear. Be free of the ego to make heartfelt decisions and your life will be inspired and amazing. That's what I've got.

Very good. Um, I am so excited right now to have Lynne McTaggart on the, Bitch Slap ...The Accelerated Path to Peace Podcast. And I'm really quick, Lynn, here's your introduction? Lynn is a metaphysical rock star, the Madonna of the quantum world, the Malcolm Gladwell of the new science and the even called the dally. Mama. Welcome.Lynn McTaggart: 00:00:33 Thank you. Thank you very much. That one's my favorite. And it was given to me by a guy called Tom Shadyac. Who did the movie? I am. He introduced me once as that and I loved it. I thought it was wonderful and not deserved, but thank you. It's great to be with you, but fun.Mischa Z: 00:00:53 Yeah. Good fun, nonetheless. Um, and then just really quick, you are an award-winning journalist, you've got seven books out there. Um, the, the, with the international bestsellers worldwide international bestsellers, the "Power Of Eight", "The Field", The Intention Experiment", and "The Bond" all considered seminal books of the new science and now translated into some 30 languages. Um, and then you like to focus on and talk about and teach I'm assuming intention, correct?Lynn McTaggart: 00:01:32 I do. Yes.Mischa Z: 00:01:35 Fantastic. And before we get to that, uh, I've caught you in great Britain. Yes.Lynn McTaggart: 00:01:42 That's where I live. Yeah. Yeah.Mischa Z: 00:01:44 And there's no accent. So either you hide it very well or your a ex-pat to, uh, great Britain is there.Lynn McTaggart: 00:01:52 I am a New Jersey girl, Nisha who came over here 30 something years ago to spend three months researching a book. And I just never left. So put down roots here. I'm married to a Brit, I've got two grown daughters who are Anglo American. And so life is here. I've been here more than home.Mischa Z: 00:02:15 And so what year did you move there if you don't mind me asking?Lynn McTaggart: 00:02:18 Oh, 19 83, 19 83.Mischa Z: 00:02:21 And you were restating. Yeah. Wow. And then, so you're researching a book. Yes. And what, what was the book you were researching at the time?Lynn McTaggart: 00:02:31 I think to do with science and spirituality, where I ended up focusing on, it was a biography of one of the Kennedy sisters, Kathleen Kennedy, who had married a British Lord and had been really the rebel of the family. So she lived over here in her short life. All of her friends were over here. So I had to come over here to speak to a whole layer of the British aristocracy. Um, and this was back in, well, I started it in 1980 and, um, and I just walked off the plane and I said, I love it here. And I'm more or less, never left. I mean, my heart is still, I'm still a rabid American and I'm very involved in America. And my audience is, you know, the majority are Americans, although they come from all over the world. Um, but, uh, I've lived here. So I've, I live in London.Mischa Z: 00:03:25 I love it. I knew there was something interesting there. So in 1980 to 1983, you're researching, uh, one of the Kennedy sisters. It brings you to the era aristocracy of England. And are you, you love England, but are you enjoying the research of the book at this point or what's what'sLynn McTaggart: 00:03:49 Oh, I loved it. I mean, it was fascinating to me because it was a real window. As somebody wrote about the book, it was a real window into the Kennedy's because this was the one member of the family, the one child of the nine, who didn't March down the same road, you know, she defied her parents, which was incredible. None of the boys did and married a Protestant, which was shocking back then, uh, in the, you know, this was during the war in the 1940s. And, uh, she married basically one of the highest level aristocrats in, in the UK who was Protestant. And he got killed in world war II. And then she went out again and intended to marry a married Lord. So this was even more scandalous for Catholic rose and, you know, and, um, the whole family and Joe Kennedy was loved that daughter, probably most of all, but, you know, even he was concerned because it was going to affect his children's political future.Lynn McTaggart: 00:04:59 So she ended up marrying it, uh, dying in a plane crash on her way to try to get Joe's blessing on marrying this married guy, married Protestants. So it was this amazing dramatic story that was, uh, I was able to tell the story of that generation, which was kind of the golden generation before the war that lost everything and also have this little peek hole into the family life of the Kennedys. So it was a fascinating project. Um, but I never expected it was going to land me here. And it certainly was a million miles away from the work that I have on now known for.Mischa Z: 00:05:40 Yeah. Um, is, can you, uh, there's a little bit of feedback on your end. Are you hearing it?Lynn McTaggart: 00:05:47 I'm not, I'm not.Mischa Z: 00:05:49 I think there we go. It's good. We're good. Okay. Yeah. Um, so I can edit that out or not. Who knows? It's podcast light, that's it? Okay. So, so your researching this book, obviously cool rich history, which I love. And, um, and you now there's, we've got some quantum physics going on in to-do fast forward. Um, there's intention, there's science behind all this stuff. What happens between, so what are you, are you, are you like a scientist or what's going on, like fill in the blanksLynn McTaggart: 00:06:32 Misha I'm very far from a scientist, I'm a journalist. And I started out life as an investigative reporter. So my first book was an investigation and an expo say of lawyers around the world who were doing baby selling, who were essentially selling babies for adoption. And I broke a number of, um, international baby selling rings. Now this was what they call gray market adoption. There weren't laws against this, but it was just morally wrong what they were doing. And they were exploiting children and parents who couldn't have children. So that's where I started, you know, in my early twenties, I had, I was hooked up with hidden tape recorders, um, back when there were tape recorders and all this kind of undercover stuff. So that was my background. And the Kennedy book came about because my publishers thought there was a hidden story here and they thought I was a really good investigative reporter.Lynn McTaggart: 00:07:31 And so they, they basically set me on the, on the story and of the Kennedys. And, uh, it was a wonderful story. It's sad story. So I moved over here, I got married, I got ill and nobody could figure out what was wrong with me. And so after going to both conventional and alternative doctors, I then decided, well, if I'm going to get better, I'm going to have to research what I think I have. And then also research the kind of doctor I think, cure me. And so I did, I went to a doctor who was the, uh, a, a real pioneer in what was then integrative medicine and nutritional medicine. And he was so amazing and it turned out I had a faulty microbiome. It's, it's something that's really common these days. Everybody knows about it, but they didn't back then, which was the 1980s.Lynn McTaggart: 00:08:30 And so, uh, he got me better and we were both fascinated by it. And I had my, I met my husband over here. Who's also a journalist. We were married by that time. And, and we both were so fascinated by this process and thought, well, if you could control your own health and you could work with doctors like this and get the real story about medicine, then that would be really great for people. So we started a newsletter called what doctors don't tell you, it's now an international magazine. It's in 15 languages around the globe. And we report on what works and what doesn't work in conventional and alternative medicine. And we look at the medical literature so way back in the 1990s, I'm doing this and I'm coming across study after study of spiritual healing, showing this stuff works. So I'm thinking to myself, wait a minute, if you could take a thought and send it to someone else and make them better.Lynn McTaggart: 00:09:31 Well, that undermines everything. We think about how the world works. So I wanted to investigate how that works. And I assumed if I talked to some cutting edge businesses who are doing consciousness research, they'll tell me how it all works. Oh, write it up. And that's it. No publish the book. Well, that, wasn't what it was. What happened was I talked to these scientists and I, um, I realized that they were on the brink of an completely new view of the world, a completely new science. Each of them had discovered a little piece of a puzzle that compounded into a completely new view of the world, a new understanding of who we are as human beings and our capacities. So that became my book, the field. And I also realized that these scientists, they speak a map, they speak in a code and they can't really translate that into normal English.Lynn McTaggart: 00:10:31 They also like to just talk about their own experimental little patch. They don't like to speculate on how this comes together. So that job got left to me. So I really had to tutor and be tutored in quantum physics. I had to be tutored in this new science and learn this new science. I was well acquainted with reading scientific literature because of my work, um, my other work with what ducks. But so I, I put that together and that was my book, the field. Um, but there was a lot of leftover business, which was a number of studies. These amazing scientists, prestigious scientists, all from prestigious universities had come across showing that thoughts are an actual something with the capacity to change physical matter. So I wondered, okay, how far can we take this? This is the investigative reporter in me. I said, you know, are we talking about just a tiny little effect, like shifting a quantum particle, or are we talking about curing cancer with our thoughts?Lynn McTaggart: 00:11:40 And also I was fascinated by the idea of what happens if you put lots of people together and have them send the same thought at the same time, does that magnify the effect? And so my next book was the intention experiment, which was both a book about the science, all the science of intention, and there's loads of it, but also an invitation to take part in ongoing experiments because I thought, well, I know a lot of the scientists who are doing this work now, and I also have loads of readers because the field was in 30 languages by then. So I thought, well, if I just put them both together, I'll have the biggest laboratory in the world. And so that's what I did. And that is been the intention experiment ever since 2007, we've run 40 experiments now. And the last one, we just ran for nine 11, the 20th anniversary. So I don't have the outcome of that yet, but most of the time we are running them with scientists and they're measuring data and looking at before and afterward, et cetera. And of the 39 where we have evidence 35 have shown measurable, significant, mostly, mostly significant effects. That's a better track record than most drugs.Mischa Z: 00:13:03 Yeah. I, I read this book. Um, I have a few questions for you, but I read this book about, um, it was called, um, oh gosh, I wish I could remember, but I was looking through your stuff and I saw that 35 of your, uh, studies had significant statistical. How did you say that? Significant,Lynn McTaggart: 00:13:27 Positive, um, positive, measurable, mostly significant effects basically. And significance in science means there's such a big change that it's a significant change and it's, it's considered, you know? Yeah. We really had it.Mischa Z: 00:13:45 Yeah. There's I think the book is called death grip, but it's about a climber, a rock climber, you know, uh, and, uh, he from a very young age gets parents put them on benzodiazepines, right? So he has this brutal benzodiazepine addiction for a good chunk of his life. And it's a really cool book because it just talks about his process of trying to get off of the meds and all this. But he also has a lot of data in there. Um, and basically the data was most of the, and I wish I had the book in front of me. It's a great book. Um, most of the, the, um, studies for, you know, the benzos and all this sort of stuff. There's no difference between that. It's basically all statistically insignificant, right? Like there's no difference between the placebos and the, and the, um, the word is escaping me, but they're stillLynn McTaggart: 00:14:47 Agent. Yeah,Mischa Z: 00:14:48 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're still pumping this stuff there. So I was like, it was very eyeopening, but not necessarily.Lynn McTaggart: 00:14:55 Yeah. Well, here's another little step for you that might blow your mind. There was some studies like 25 years of them at Princeton university in the, in the school of engineering, the then Dean of engineer, Robert John set up a program to test whether or not human beings in the mental intention could affect machines. So we set up these random processes. Remember he was an engineer on computers, um, doing alternating images, let's say they had Cowboys and Indians. So they would have a random process. It would be 50% Cowboys, pretty much and 50% Indians. And that's what happens with random stuff like this. So we would sit somebody in front of the computer and say, well, will it to show more of one thing than the other, let's have more Indians than Cowboys. So they did hundreds and thousands of these studies and they showed a small but significant increase toward the focused intention. So say if there were more Indians in Cowboys, there'd be more to dancing Cowboys, then there was randomly. So when they compare this to something like aspirin, which is considered the most, one of the most successful drugs out there, because it's has this long history, the effect of sending intention to this equipment was 10 times an effect size. That's a rate of change than it was with aspirin than it is with aspirin. So there's a mindblowing step for you,Mischa Z: 00:16:29 Yes, indeed. Thank you for that. Um, that's amazing. Um, so quick question, when you were doing the investigative reporting and writing books, and you're on the Kennett writing the Kennedy book, are you having financial success at this point?Lynn McTaggart: 00:16:43 Totally. So, I mean, not, not amazingly, so, but you know, writers have an average income, uh, you know, standard writers have about $3,000 a year. So I was doing considerably better than that. And my book, "The Baby Brokers", um, got made into a television movie way back then starring Lynn Carter. So I had a lot of decent luck, but you know, like a lot of freelancers, you know, um, sometimes you have to live by your width.Mischa Z: 00:17:13 Yeah. Obviously I think it's an interesting bit of information. It sounds like. Uh, yeah, I, I, I guess it's, um, you were having success on one track. You continued with what you're doing, but maybe just bench your,Lynn McTaggart: 00:17:35 Let me, let me put this another way. Um, you know, finances, haven't always been easy way back then, as I said, it was living by my, my wits. I always had, was able to pay my rent. Um, and sometimes I was a ghost writer. I, I think I ghost wrote a, um, a needle point column for the newspapers, a syndicated column and had to write fun, little jingles, like, you know, Hey, make this do bay. And now you can, you know, shake and bake is shaken, make your bed, you know, just stuff like that. I had to do all kinds of goofy stuff like that to, to pay the bills sometimes. But what was really important to me was, um, I was a managing editor of a newspaper syndicate, and I got the job when I was 23. I was really young and I had a big, important job.Lynn McTaggart: 00:18:28 And, um, I, you know, was in charge of all the editorial for, um, for syndicated columns coming out of this, this new, new syndicated was the Chicago Tribune, New York news syndicate, but I really wanted to write more than I wanted to be an editor. And so I followed my dream and I left the job after three years when I got a book contract. So I just jumped off the diving board into the deep end and I've never looked back and I've actually only worked for someone else for six years in my life. I took a job for a few years in the UK as an editor, and then jumped off that diving board again, to do what doctors don't tell you. So I've always tried to follow my own intention of work and to try to do the work that I love and to trust the process and good stuff happened.Lynn McTaggart: 00:19:23 Not that it wasn't sometimes a struggle, you know, I can remember plenty of times where it was, you know, it was tough when we were starting out what doctors don't tell you. And we had a small child, then we had a newborn. So there were a lot of times that were a little interesting, but, um, something always happened, you know, angels watched over us, I think, and we just trusted in our own, you know, being able to live by our widths and our own ability. And that was a really important thing. Looking back now. Yeah.Mischa Z: 00:19:57 Yeah. Let, let me ask you, so are at this time, are you conscious of, I mean, are you like you've learned that habit from your parents or are you, are you w were you a churchgoer or, or what, what you're like, this is where my heart is pulling me. I find that for a lot of people, it's very hard. They're like, well, I'm on this success track. The money is good if I just do ABC and their hearts, like, no, go here. No I can't. But it seems like for you, you you're taking these leaps where wLynn McTaggart: 00:20:30 Um, I think I always wanted to be a writer, and that was much more important to me than anything else other than my family. And so even more important than money. So I think I just trusted, um, that I'd get money some way, and then I'd be able to do something. And that happened. I remember once my husband and I, you know, when we first started what doctors, we didn't have any money. So we came up with a book idea and then we got an advance for it. They liked it, we got an advance for it. And then we heard about a year later that, um, someone else was writing a book on the same subject. It was a, it was a biography. So those kinds of things happen, but it was very weird that both of us were going to do it at the same time.Lynn McTaggart: 00:21:20 And so the publisher said, well, you know what, we're going to cancel since you didn't cancel, you can keep that initial payment. So that was just an example of great stroke of luck, where we were really scrambling to pay some bills. Um, I think what it was was we're both. I think we're just, uh, we love what we do, and we follow that through thick or thin. And when there was the thin times, we would have to live by our wits and figure out something else to do. And, but I think the work doing the work that we loved was, was pure enough. And of course, you know, being together. So between the two of us, I guess, we've, you know, we were able to do that. And S and we just believed, we just believed, I think that was a really important element to Mischa.Mischa Z: 00:22:22 Thank you for that. And then quick, the, was there any deep, hidden story in the Kennedy and the Kennedy thing? You're like, there's a story there, like, there's something juicy. Did spoiler, did you find it? Or,Lynn McTaggart: 00:22:34 Well, yeah, the fact that she had to go up against her parents and we can't appreciate how incredibly brave it was to marry a Protestant. You know, her father was the ambassador to the court of St. James and this totally prominent the prominent premier Catholic family back in the 1940s. So for her to go against thisMischa Z: 00:22:58 Or structure to right Joe Kennedy, like the Kennedys, the oil, all this stuff, right? Like, am I...?Lynn McTaggart: 00:23:04 Oh, yeah. I mean, they were wealthy. They were powerful. And he had great, great ambition for his, one of his sons was going to be president. And so here she is just saying, no, I'm going to go back to England. I'm going to be there. And she had met someone when she had met this whole layer of the aristocracy back when her, um, her father was the ambassador to the court of St. James. And she, you know, she went back there to be with her friends. These were the people she was with. She, she, they had debutante balls back then. So she came out as a debutante. And so these were all this whole layer of this generation and Britain were her dear friends. And so she wanted to go back there. So she defined her parents by going back there and marrying the premier Protestant an aristocrat.Lynn McTaggart: 00:24:05 So I think it was that it was the family covered up that she was involved with a married lover. She was flying down for what the Brits call a dirty weekend. And in her last trip, you know, they were flying down to, to the south of France. And when her plane didn't make it, she had a plane crash. So there were, and the family completely covered up her relationship covered up everything. She was just a blank page. And the Kennedy biography basically. And I, they gave it to me, the, my publishers, because they fill an, I could find out what had happened to her. So that was it. But as I say, that was early on in my work and my work has taken a very, very different turn. [spirituality]Mischa Z: 00:24:56 Yes. I, and I'm sorry to dwell, to go dwell on that stuff is to, it's interesting to me. I, and I, I get a sense tonight. You're obviously tenacious if you're wearing wires, things like that, that, um, that, uh, you were, you are a rascal back then.Lynn McTaggart: 00:25:15 Well, I was doing my work and, you know, I would, I would actually say that, you know, journalists are supposed to hold the establishment to account. We're not seeing that anymore. We're certainly not seeing that with COVID. The journalists have become a mouthpiece for the establishment, but back when, you know, when I was growing up, we had heroes like Woodward and Bernstein, and we saw, well, wow, they took down a corrupt presidency. And so for my generation of journalists, we feel essentially a moral obligation to hold people in authority to account and to unearth things that are, you know, are we have only one person to answer to, and that's the public one body of people to answer to. And so for me, investigating people who are taking $25,000 cash under the table to sell them a baby is worth investigating and, you know, and bringing that out in, in, in the light now.Lynn McTaggart: 00:26:28 And it's interesting, I get letters every so often from children who were the product of that, who were sold, and it wasn't a happy adoption. They were desperate to find their biological parents and to find out some closure for, for this weird experience they had. And so they're a demonstration of why, you know, this wasn't a good idea. And so that's, that's the feeling I have now, when you bring this to science and spirituality, what it just means is that I have this, first of all, a sense of skepticism, that it permeates everything I do, because that's our training. And when you put that into spirituality, what it means is I wanted to, I wanted to prove magic. And that's why I did the Intention Experiment because I started seeing magical things around me. I started understanding there's a completely new science here. There's a completely new story about human beings.Lynn McTaggart: 00:27:38 We have far more capacity than we've been told. And so I wanted to investigate that. And that's been really the work over the last four years. And yes, and the work that I've done with large and small intention groups demonstrates there are miracles I see all the time, all the time with small groups, sending intention to some member of the group with a health challenge. And I had a woman a month or two ago, I did a talk to a group in Sedona, and I was just on zoom. So I'm doing my talk. I put them in a small group, cause that's what I've been doing. I call them Power Of Eight Groups and had the older members of the group get into groups. All the members of this audience get into groups, send intention to some members of the group of the health challenge. At the end, we've got a film of it. A woman who had Ms who was confined to a wheelchair, got out of her wheelchair and pushed it away. And that's happened. That's the second wheelchair get out of the wheelchair story I've had. I can tell you about that has happened in the last couple of years, but there are thousands of other healing stories. And so this is the thing that really fascinates me now is decoding why this happens and how to do it.Mischa Z: 00:29:01 So the last four years has been this Power of Eight. You have that book out the Power Of Eight. Is that when you say the last four years?Lynn McTaggart: 00:29:09 No. Since 2008, it took me 10 years to get the courage to write the book. Um, I, um, I started doing this when I did the intention experiment back in 2007, you know, we were getting some really good results. We were getting, I mean, for instance, one experiment we did with St. Louis, Missouri, which is officially the most violent place in America. We did intention to lower violence in this, in the most violent neighborhood in St. Louis. And it turned out when we studied the police data. And we worked with a professor of statistics from the university of California who did all of the analysis. She found that compared to the three years prior, right after our experiment, and for six months afterwards, there was a 43% drop in violence compared to all the rest of St. Louis, which had violence continue to go up.Lynn McTaggart: 00:30:02 So we have this big experience and we've had them in all of these big experiments. So back in 2008, I said to myself, well, what would happen if I tried to scale this down to a workshop? So I was running early workshops, didn't really know what I was doing and thought, well, I'll just put them into groups and have them send healing to a member of the group with the health challenge. And my husband's great, a headline writer. And he said, I love it. I said, I'll put them in groups of eight or something. And he said, I love it. "The Power Of Eight". So that's what we did. We put them in groups of eight, not expecting much to happen besides feeling like getting a back rub or something like that. And that isn't what happened. What happened was we were getting, you know, we had in that first group that a woman who had depression and she came in the next day of the workshop saying, I feel really normal.Lynn McTaggart: 00:30:59 I feel great today. Someone else with terrible stomach issues, IBS and her stomach was normal. Somebody else with terrible arthritis was walking. Normally somebody else would cataract said she was 80% better. And so that was the very first group. And we're saying to ourselves, "what?", Um, what is going on? And we assumed it was a placebo effect. You know, that it was just mental is up until it started happening over and over again. I kept doing it and doing it and doing it. And I've seen this now, thousands of times, people with genetic problems, a woman who had something wrong with their liver, a genetic problem with their liver enzymes one group intention, she's completely fine. So somebody else due to have surgery on her knee, she does one intention in a group 10 minutes, and she does a deep squat afterward. And we've had thousands like this stage four cancers reversing, et cetera.Lynn McTaggart: 00:32:01 So you can imagine the big skeptic me saying, "what is going on". So that's why it took me 10 years to write that book because I wanted to really understand what it was. And I also wanted to understand what enables you to do it well, and that's what I teach now is how to do it. Um, and what are the techniques? What is, you know, because a lot of people watching, you know, popular movies on the subject, the secret and things like that, just think, well, I believe, and I receive, you know, it's odd I have found is it's, it's a little more complicated than that. We all have the capacity. Everybody has the human capacity to do intention and to essentially create our world to heal ourselves. Um, but you need to know certain things about how to do it.Mischa Z: 00:33:00 Fantastic. So let tell me like, like let's let, cause I I'd be remiss if I didn't ask. So let's say we've got some, some, some listeners right now that are, are skeptical but open-minded, and they're like, I'll try some intention, stuff that Lynn's talking about. Um, so you've got a strategy for us. So give us the overarching and then maybe some, uh, a few of, uh, the tactics for a new, a new, a new entrant.Lynn McTaggart: 00:33:32 Okay. Well, it's hard for me to teach it in 10 minutes. I mean, these are 20 hour courses of mine, you know, but all I'm going to give you one tip that, that almost nobody talks about who is trying to teach the power of thought, et cetera, et cetera. And that is the power of being specific. You know, most people think, oh, I'll send out a thought in the morning. I'll say, you know, I want to be rich and I want everybody, or I want to win the lottery. Let's say. And the problem is, they're not really telling the universe exactly what they want because most people, you know, people usually don't just want to be rich. You know, I want more, a lot of stuff. Now, what they want is a different job. Usually what they want is enough money to pay their bills.Lynn McTaggart: 00:34:27 What they want is enough time to be with their children or to be with their grandchildren or to pursue a hobby. They don't necessarily just want megabucks. So when I do is I work with people to say, okay, how much do you need? Like I put people into, in my courses, I put people into groups and we monitor them. I've been doing that since 2015 and monitor them for a whole year. And what ends up happening, which is fascinating to me is the groups that are committed that meet week after week after week for a solid year in those situations, pretty much a hundred percent of them will experience some sort of major change in their life, the change that they wanted. Um, and you know, whether it is their health or their finances or a new career or a new relationship or whatever. Um, but they are taught to be specific.Lynn McTaggart: 00:35:27 So if you need $99 and 30 cents, I tell you to intend for $99 and 30 cents, the other is the other big tip, is it all works so much better in a group. You know, I, it, the group size doesn't matter. And I've actually tested that in our intention experiments. One of the experiments I did where we were trying to make seeds grow faster, we were, I was working with the university of Arizona and I tried it six different times with six different size audiences. You know, my first audience was in Sydney, Australia, audience of 700. And then we had smaller audiences and Rhinebeck, New York, and a bigger audience over the internet of thousands of people. We tried all these different sizes in different locations, and we found that size totally didn't matter what mattered was understanding of technique and experience and intending. Um, for instance, a group of healing touch professionals were one of those audiences and they there's, our seeds grew twice as high compared to controls with them.Lynn McTaggart: 00:36:41 But, um, and distance didn't matter either distance didn't matter either. So we have tested it so size doesn't matter, but technique does. So it can be a very large group. It can be a small group, but something about a group and with a group, a Power of Eight Group, sometimes you get intention, but a lot of other times you send intention most of the time. So the other big piece of this aside from a group kind of sense of oneness is, um, is altruism. Altruism is a big, big factor in these Power Of Eight Groups. Most of the time you're giving rather than receiving, but the receivers also get healed even when people aren't focusing on them. And that's the, the real amazing thingMischa Z: 00:37:36 Watching some of the testimonials and bill was one of the guys that was really fun to watch him who had like chronic, um, perhaps chronic depression or, and sort of had a very powerful feeling. Um, can you give me a specific example? Let's say within the last year of, uh, of somebody where they were not specific, and then you said, here's how I want you to be specific.Lynn McTaggart: 00:38:05 Yeah. I mean, I had one group where they were trying to do a group intention to win the lottery and it just wasn't working. And I said, well, is that how much you need? Do you need $13 million? And they said, no, Joe needs $20,000 and something cents for a car. And Sally needs X number of, of, you know, $15,000 for her kids' schooling, et cetera. And I said, okay, so in 10 for that, but in 10 separately, first or Sally then for Joe or whatever it was. And, and they suddenly started receiving, and I've also seen people where they're stuck, um, and nothing's happening. And I tell them finally, you know, what, "get off of yourself", start intending for someone else and see what happens. And certainly that was the case with many, many people. Um, I've had two very notable cases. One was Andy Spyros, who was trying to get a new job.Lynn McTaggart: 00:39:09 She was newly divorced. Um, and her group kept intending for her and nothing was happening. And she was very talented at marketing. She was talented at selling and coaching and nothing. So I finally just said, Andy, "get off of yourself". And 10 for somebody in the group who needs the intention more. So she did, she was intending for an, and what she did was she chose to intend for a young boy, uh, who called loop that I had introduced everybody to, um, who had tried to commit suicide at 15 because he broke up with this first serious girlfriend jumped off a 40 foot structure onto hard ground, nearly died. Everything was broken, his nerve damage, brain damage, everything. So I got all of my groups who were part of a course to send intention to Luke. And Andy, I said, get off of yourself, focus on Luke.Lynn McTaggart: 00:40:04 Now Luke got out of the hospital in record time and he is a totally normal 18 year old boy. Now, um, his parents sent me a photo of him now he's fantastic. You know, doctors didn't even think he was gonna live when he first came in. Maybe that was us. Maybe it was good doctoring. But the interesting thing was what's happened, Andy, because Andy, the week after she did that gets a call out of nowhere offering her, her dream job. So that has happened over and over and over again with people doing intention for someone else. And we have done brainwave studies on Power Of Eight Groups I worked with, um, with life university, which is the largest chiropractic university in the world to try to find out what on earth is going on with these Power Of Eight Groups. Why are they so powerful? Why are people getting healed who have all kinds of chronic problems, whether it is, you know, their health or their finances or whatever, their relationships or whatever.Lynn McTaggart: 00:41:10 And we found, we expected that the we'd put an EEG cap on one member of each of seven groups of student volunteers, never. They'd never done Power Of Eight Groups. They'd never even meditated. So we do this and we find, we thought we were going to find brainwave signatures that were identical to meditation, those of meditation. And they bizarrely, they were nothing like meditation. They were completely consistent though with the brainwave signatures of Sufi masters during, uh, chanting and Buddhist monks during ecstatic prayer, the parts of the brain involved with making us feel separate, like the parietal lobes that sit in the back of the head here, they help us navigate through space. They tell us, this is me. This is not me. They were dialed way down, but so were the parts of the brain, the right frontal lobe involved with worry, doubt negativity.Lynn McTaggart: 00:42:13 Those were all really, uh, decreased the brainwave brainwaves in those areas. So what these were, they were identical to those studies done by a guy called Dr. Andrew Newberg from university of Pennsylvania of Buddhist monks and Sufi masters. These were people in a state of ecstatic oneness, and that is also besides altruism. The big secret sauce here is that you get to experience what life is really like. We aren't separate. That's what all of that study I've found in the new science and the field I discovered was we aren't separate. We're all part of a giant quantum energy field. And we, but we don't feel that way. We don't experience life that way. We experience life as our own little lonely self on this little lonely planet. And here we have a situation where in a matter of minutes you can experience what life is really like, which is a state of this full alumnus.Mischa Z: 00:43:23 I love that. I'm all in on that idea right now of, uh, that illusion of separation and what tools are there to, to, um, to, to help shed those that, that illusion, like that's the illusion. Number one, that we're all separate. And I think as we get older as individuals, there's the word, separate individuals. Um, it's, it's I found in, in, in the, my forties, right? Like successing my way through those, that feeling of separation, uh, dating or, or all these things to fill that, that, uh, God-sized hole, if you want to call it or, yeah. I love the I'm all in, on I on how can I get rid of that, that illusion of separation. And for me, it, it includes judgment. Like I find like, like judging like that does that just adds to the, to that, to the separate I can go on and on about it. I'm sure. Yeah. Did you ever read the A Course In Miracles?Lynn McTaggart: 00:44:32 I know all about it. Well, Marianne Williamson is a very good friend, so I know all about it.Mischa Z: 00:44:37 Yeah. She was. I read her book, uh, the power, uh, or what is it A Return To Love a number of years ago. And so I was like, I'm getting the book, but I've been for two years. I it's been studying. It's been very powerful and, uh, it's good. Um, I'd love the, I know we're on a time limit, but I would again be remiss if I didn't emphasize the, so in recovery, 12 steps, all that, there's this idea of service, right? Like the way to freedom from addictions is service. That's one of the key steps, right? How can I be of service? How can I be of service? And it's that altruistic piece that you're talking about in your power of aids, um, which I love that concept of, and I liked the way you said it, get over yourself, right? If like, if I'm trying to fulfill some, uh, going need, that's like, I want success for success. Say, well, perhaps the universe is going to give you pushback. Versus if you're like, Hey, how can I help energetically this "Luke" for example? Right.Lynn McTaggart: 00:45:44 Well then what people learn that in a power of eight group, because as I say, um, if you're meeting every week, you only have time to do about three people that say, if you're meeting for an hour and you've got to do about 10 minutes each. So most of the time you're actually intending for someone else, but you are actually getting healed too. That's the extraordinary thing about them. They're virtuous circles. They, you heal and they heal. And when I started studying, cause again, I started seeing this, you know, what happened was this big, lovely accident back in 2008, where suddenly these small groups, people were getting healed. And as I say, I'm not a healer by background, a hard nose reporter. So I'm, I'm needing to test this and continuing to test it. And what I discovered over and over again was, you know, when people were sending intention to each other, even it didn't matter whether they were sent her a receiver, they were still getting healed.Lynn McTaggart: 00:46:53 As you mentioned, the guy called Wes, who was, had chronic depression participated in one 10 minute, um, Power Of Eight Group. He volunteered for, he wanted to be the subject, but there was a woman in the group with stage four cancer. And so he, he said, well, she should be the subject. I'll just be a sender. And the experience was so powerful for him. And Wes was somebody who had given up on life. He'd had a terrible life. He'd been drafted during the last years of the Vietnam war. Um, life had just gone down in a terrible spiral, him to the point where, when I met him at 65, he had kind of given up and it was kind of what's the use type of attitude,Mischa Z: 00:47:37 Tragic relationships too, right? LikeLynn McTaggart: 00:47:40 His love of his life died with fast growing cancer and one intention for that woman with stage four cancer. And he wakes up the next day. He has this amazing vision of meeting his 19 year old self back on campus. When he still had a lot of dreams, he wants to be a doctor. He was a smart guy. Um, and somehow that in that vision, his 19 year old self communicated to him, don't worry. There's still time. And he literally said to me, I get to start life over all over again at 65. And he was a changed person, started doing heavy exercise, getting in shape, started studying new things, started writing, really participating in his church, really friendly with everybody completely new individual. And I've seen that over and over again. Um, with this altruism, when you look at the science of altruism, you realize it's, it is like a, uh, it's like a Bulletproof fist. You know, people do things for other people, no matter how small live longer, happier, healthier lives. So there's a ton of research demonstrating how powerful getting off of yourself really is. And I've certainly seen that with Power Of Eight Group.Mischa Z: 00:49:05 I love that. I love the way you say that. Did you tell your kids that all the time get off of yourself?Lynn McTaggart: 00:49:12 Yeah, I do. So even somewhere to LA,Mischa Z: 00:49:15 It's so good. You know what I love about that too? I it's. So I think it's so profound. How, like a smile, it can be as simple as a smile to somebody walking down the street. Like there are it's I can get it in my head that I need to do this massive service thing. When it's in reality, it can be smile, a sense of Goodwill letting somebody jump in front of you and in traffic, whatever. Right. Would you concur on that or?Lynn McTaggart: 00:49:49 Well, I think that, um, I think that any kind of act, whether it is just taking out your neighbor's garbage, for instance, I mean, that's what the science shows is. Volunteers live longer, healthier, happier lives. People who are ill with something, um, if they help someone else with the same illness, they themselves are more likely to get better. There's all that kind of, there's so much science around altruism. It's not just, Hey, this would be a nice thing to do. This is a, this is a serious, healthy thing to do for the giver. But you know what I always tell people too, is you've got to do this power of eight group with a pure heart to you want to really get into wanting to get that other person better. And one of the great things about a Power Of Eight Group, it's so great for now because we've all been so isolated. You don't have to meet in person. You can meet on zoom, just like we're doing. Now. Most of my groups in all of my courses, they meet together. I usually put people in the same time zones, but they meet on zoom. Many of them are like family to each other, but they've never actually physically met. And it's, it's that kind of working over and over again together, having, knowing you've got this little intention, family is such a beautiful way to get over all of the isolation and fear that we're all experiencing now with COVID.Mischa Z: 00:51:23 Yeah. Um, I know you've got a time crunch and I could go on and on and I can keep asking questions, but I want to be respectful for you and your time. And, and I want to Lynn Lynne mctaggart.com, L Y N N E M C T a G G a R t.com. Uh, there's links for your books. The four books are there. Um, you, people can sign up for a webinar that looks super cool. Is that something where is that all recorded or do they get a taste of You?Lynn McTaggart: 00:51:59 Oh, I, all of my courses Mischa are live, so I've got a course coming up called intention essentials, which is, and what we do is we meet together, um, for two hours at a time, five sessions in, uh, in total. So it's 10 hours, but it's live and interactive. So I've got people doing intention together on putting them into groups, et cetera, online. So it's, it's very cool. And if you can't make one of the sessions or, or a number of them, it's always recorded. So that's coming up starting October 2nd, but no, all of my courses are live right.Mischa Z: 00:52:39 And there's looks like some really cool ones on there. Um, there's also, yeah.Lynn McTaggart: 00:52:43 And, um, we've Intention Essentials. You just have to follow the link on the top of Lynne mctaggart.com. You'll find out.Mischa Z: 00:52:50 Perfect. I also, there is, um, your, uh, retreats, which I'm, when I'm looking over here, I'm looking at your websites. So it was just prowling through your retreats and it looks like you have some really cool stuff going on with retreats. So we've got into the light, which is in Costa Rica. That's did we miss that one? No, that's uh, that's coming up December and thenLynn McTaggart: 00:53:17 I've got a, uh, it's over new year's. Cause we decided people were just so sad about COVID and having difficulty that what we tend to run in our entreat retreats is I work with my husband who authored a book called "The Untrue Story Of You", which is all about how we are controlled by our past and our past isn't that time is an energy as he puts it and not a dimension, it's an energy and it lives through you and it actually creates you. So we do a course called you know, "healing yourself from your past" with, with the Power Of Eight. And we use intention to go back in time, not to change what did happen, but to change your perception of what happened and give you back your power. And that's been very, very healing. So we've got one in Costa Rica, which is going to be so exciting because we're going to have a new year's celebration and celebrate going, coming into the light after the, all of this darkness of COVID. So that's also on my website too.Mischa Z: 00:54:29 Yeah. Fantastic. And yes, it's under the events section. Now we've got one healing the past with the power of eight, which is what you're talking about in Italy. I'm looking at this going, oh my gosh, this is an amazing, an amazing experience in an amazing place. So 2022, if somebody wants to stretch it out to, then we can go to Italy.Lynn McTaggart: 00:54:50 Absolutely. We're doing something we're going to be up in Damman her, which is that amazing underground batch of tunnels and cathedrals in Northern Italy. So we'll be doing that too. We just run one or two retreats a year, but they're really, really wonderful. And we have a coterie of other classes. I also just ran a big intention experiment to heal Afghanistan, and we had both Muslims and, uh, Americans on it together, essentially healing each other. So that was, we had many thousands on that. That was just last Saturday for the 20th anniversary. I thought maybe we should have a different kind of image for nine 11.Mischa Z: 00:55:33 That's beautiful. So I know, um, the official scientific results are coming, but in the moment of the experience, I mean, I'm just getting, I just got the chills even thinking about, was it, was it, it must've been profound or maybe you give me five words on the experience?Lynn McTaggart: 00:55:51 Well, Misha, what I found with intention experiments, I've been lately bringing polarized communities together. Like we did a big one with Arabs and Israelis together, people from all over the Gulf states of Arab countries and, uh, audience of Israeli Jews had them all come together with special equipment that could put a camera in all in nine different locations. And they started sending love to each other at the end. So what I've been doing a lot of with intention experiments is finding that again, this is all about altruism. When you come together in a compassionate act, like sending intention to heal Afghanistan, something in your heart opens up. I survey people and I've done so since 2008, with my intention experiments. And I find that when people are doing an intention for peace for somewhere in the world, they themselves experienced peace in their lives. You know, they get over, they make up with the strange relatives. They get along better with their not so nice bosses. You know, they come together with their kids who haven't been speaking to them and, you know, they get healed in some way. They find more peace. They're hugging strangers. So I will be serving the people who are the participants of last Saturday. But if they're anything like every single other peace experiment I run, that's what happens. Okay.Mischa Z: 00:57:20 I can't tell you how many chills I just got while you were telling me that that's amazing. Um, so I did this, uh, summit. I put together 20 speakers. It was called the Tools For A Good LIfe Summit. Um, and I did it in August just went down in August and I brought in all these 20 modalities and one of them, so, you know, healers. So I went, uh, body mind, soul. So, uh, body mind spirit. So I started with mind. So I had, you know, Anthony trucks was on there talking about, uh, identity and, and such. And then, uh, you know, I had EFT, I had, uh, EMDR and then I had healers on their meditation and, you know, the, the full gamut. And so what happened was I was like, I really want somebody for intention. So back in June or whenever I was inviting people, you were one of the targets.Mischa Z: 00:58:14 I was like, I was so I'm looking at intention that, and I came across Lynne McTaggart and I'm like, so your publicist or schedule, I, I believe is who I reached out to. And she said, oh, you're super busy. Um, but you would gladly or be on the podcast. So thank you so much. And as I was doing my research and, you know, prepping, I ha I was like, oh my gosh, you are, excuse my language "badass". I was like, I was like, oh my gosh, I am so blessed. And I feel it now to have you on the podcast. And I'm just saying this, because, you know, I've been in, in recovery for, for decades, myself and, and lots of personal growth, lots of personal growth. And, you know, I've had these slap moments in my life where it's like, all right, you got to start meditating.Mischa Z: 00:59:13 You know, that was 10 years ago. Like you need to take meditating really seriously. Okay. And you know, just all this stuff and the service aspect, more ways to be of service service has been so powerful in my life. And I just say this in that I've got deep roots in some of the things you're talking about, and I just, it's such a gift to have you on here. And I want to encourage, I'm saying all this, because I want to encourage all my listeners. I'm looking at your website, like go to Lynnmctaggart.com. Look at all the good stuff, jump on some of your courses, get one of her books heck go to Italy, right? Like, like what an opportunity, um, to heal. And I just strongly believe in intention. And, and, uh, yeah, I just wanted to say that. So I, I, I, I probably should have started with all that, but I'm going to end with all that and just say, you're very powerful woman. Thank you so much. And, um, yeah. Anybody listening, go check out Lynnmctaggart.com, dive into her content, your content, and take advantage. Cause there, uh, you can feel that one with the world and who doesn't want that. Right.Lynn McTaggart: 01:00:29 Thank you so much. It's been really a pleasure to be with you Misha.Mischa Z: 01:00:33 Fantastic.

Timestamp 8 45 and 38 seconds PM. On this episode, my two topics are, what if I wasn't worried about money and keep who I can help in focus. It is time to up grade, not upgrade renew my yearly, excuse me. Oh my gosh. So rude. How rude is that? I apologize. podcast audience for my rude yawning. What if I wasn't worried about money? It's time for me to renew my yearly coaching program with Russell Brunson's 2CCX Two Comma Club X. I'm not sure where I ended up here. Um, all of a sudden the zoom went dead. So anyway, I was saying my internet died or I, gosh, I'm tired. It's only 8:48 PM and I'm exhausted. This whole entrepreneurial stuff is, uh, sure is a lot of work.Mischa Z: 02:51 And by the way, I'm with my $2,000 revenue. So I've got 998,000 to go the 2000. It's not quite 2000. Cause as I was saying, I had a couple of refunds due to somebody, um, purchasing three tickets on accident. And so of course I've invested some money into hiring a who to help me, um, build out the funnels. So definitely, uh, that along with, um, you know, the yearly coaching and with, uh, with, um, some tech, a bunch of monthly text subscriptions, G suite Vimeo, Bitly Canva, oh my gosh. The list, the list of them's awesome. I can't even keep track honestly. Um, you know, investing in our work logos, um,LLC'ing all the stuff. It's been a year of financial investment with no, no immediate reward. Usually my ventures there's cash flows sooner rather than later. Great thing about the mortgage business is I was very fortunate since I was good at it. Most of the companies funded in my marketing campaigns, but I never really had my own business. I did own well. That's subjective. No, uh, is subjective the right word.Mischa Z: 04:46 Um, the list, right? So, you know, that's, uh, you can bring your mortgage customer list around, but hard to sell it, perhaps the less you golly, I am sorry. Start a company, which I did try, but that all, that was a tough time. I, I think I did a podcast episode about that about if not, I'll do one anyway, I started a net branch, which I, it doesn't matter. Just know that it did not... Circumstances did not allow it to thrive and succeed. So I had some pivoting where the heck, what the heck was I talking about? Oh, so what if I, what if I wasn't worried about money? So it's time to re up and, um, I'm looking at another, you know, large financial outflow. It's probably why I'm yawning. Cause it's not exciting to talk about, but you know, Hemming and hawing and talking to source universe, whatever. And,Speaker 2: 05:58 And, uh, and, um, you know, the thought came to me, what would I do if I wasn't concerned about money? If I didn't care about the financial aspect of it, I'd probably just I'd have already renewed for next year. I'll be perfectly honest with you if I didn't have the limiting belief or the fear of, of finances, financial insecurity, right. So that can mean a few things. And I definitely think this is a worthy conversation. One is that, uh, you know, I invest the money and I have no financial return from that directly. And then it's perhaps could be perceived as a waste of money, shall we say? Um, but what if I didn't care? What if I was like, Hey, this is super fun. I'm learning a lot. It's awesome. Great. No financial validation comes as a reward or, or it's a losing proposition on a balance sheet. What If I didn't care. And I was like, yeah, it's an education. Heck with it, get paid to go to school. Or, and what if there was no direct correlation to further financial success? So I couldn't be like, oh yeah, I learned all this stuff. Although I didn't monetize directly, at least I could tie it to, oh, I got a job or this or that. Right.Speaker 2: 07:39 And then there's also the idea that, you know, it could very well being an investment that does monetize at some point. What would I do if I knew that the payoff was there? Would I do it? Heck yeah, I do it right. So these are interesting thoughts to contemplate. I'm definitely very clear in my head that I was like, oh, if I didn't care about money, honestly, like if I didn't care hacky, I do it. Cause it's kind of fun. It's stretching me learning a lot. So I was like, is that the tell to just do it right? Is that the tell or I don't know. I know it's interesting. So I'm contemplating it realistically. I probably will sign up again, but I'm definitely thinking, wondering, um, and, and this lack, it also is tied to this idea of lack, like looking at what... I interviewed this guy. I can't remember his name. Yes. I can. Francis Piche. Francis Piche.Mischa Z: 08:55 French dude, but he just, coincidentally, I interviewed him a couple of days ago. He said...Mischa Z: 09:02 You know, this, the whole idea of limiting belief of like, he was telling me a story about how he was worried about money. And so didn't make the decision to pivot and take a trip or invest in some class or something. I can't remember exactly what it was, but, um, it came back around 10 years later, the same scenario and he had some regrets by not doing it. And the same scenario came back to him and he found himself with the same reasons why not to do the thing. And he's like, oh my God, it hit me. Like, I was worried about what I was gonna lose, what I was gonna lose versus what I might gain. And, uh, as soon as I realized that I had signed on and I took the trip wherever it was. And of course the connections or the things that came of it were powerful and well-worth whatever financial investment he put into the trip. So I was like listening that I'm like, oh yeah, I'm definitely thinking about as far as the coaching is concerned, what I may lose versus what's to gain.Mischa Z: 10:24 And, um, so it's a sort of a lack, a lack mentality versus an abundance mentality, I think is how people might say that. Um, and then also like there's some other interesting things around it. Um, those are the main points. The other ones are sort of fleeting in my mind right now, but it's like this idea of sticking with it, you know, um, not wanting to look bad, not wanting to fail, you know, not... Seeing, I'm definitely seeing the, the downsides of things. Like I'll never come up with a product good enough to work, whether it's coaching, informational products, physical products, like I've got nothing that can work, but not just trusting that something might come of something might actually might drop, drop in and be like, here's this. Right? So, um, just fear of some just air and out some fears, I believe we would call that a little bit wound the wound versus scarred, but, um, heck with it, I say. Welcome to the journey. I am probably past trying to be cognizant of timing of, of, um, my episodes these days, for whatever reason. And so I believe I'm on or about the eight minute mark. So I will save, keep who I can help in focus, keep that in my mind's eye. That's definitely helping me with this decision as well. So I want to address that next step aside. Okay.Mischa Z: 12:30 So we've done. What if I wasn't worried about money and what if I wasn't worried about money? I would be all in on the gear number two of the coaching, because it's been awesome and amazing, and I've learned so much, but I do have fear financial fears.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

A short reading today in “A Course In Miracles”.  Which is like a day off - A national holiday!  But it is still super juicy nonetheless.  My willingness to practice what is presented to me determines my level of success.  In this case it’s forgiveness and freedom of the mind.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Get A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sACheck out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Mischa Z: 00:03 A course in miracles, chapter 30, the new beginning introduction, anybody who's been listening to the podcast for a bit knows that I am a big, big, super big fan, super duper big fan of A Course In Miracles. A C I M for short, a C I M. And so I am currently reading a course in miracles, combined, combined volume. That's composed of the preface, the text, the workbook for students, the manual for teachers, the clarifications of terms and the supplements. I did the workbook for students, which was amazing. And I'll do it again, but it's basically 365 exercises one a day for a year and are some highly recommended, thumbs up, go get a course in miracles. Don't think, go get we'll find, think about it, but I would just say, go get it and start on that ASAP. So one of the things about a course in miracles is as I'm reading through the text, the text portion I can read the text portion is composed of chapters, and then each chapter has multiple sections.Mischa Z: 01:42 So I try to read a section a day in the morning and it can take anywhere from a half an hour to an hour usually. And it's anywhere from two to four pages, super deep, super heavy, super weighty, like dence. The word I'm thinking of. It's very dense, dense content and does a great job of connecting me spiritually and just, you know, setting the tone for the day and getting the may thinking about, you know, the, the, the things bigger than myself. Um, get me out of my selfishness, um, stuff like that. And it's really cool. I need it in my life. I came to a point in my life where I need that to, to connect with something bigger than myself every day, preferably first thing in the morning, usually with some prayer and meditation, and then I dive into the course in miracles and every now and then the section will be five or six pages.Mischa Z: 03:02 It's like, oh my God, what an order. I can't go through it through it. What a daunting prospect. And um, every now and then I will get a very short day. Today's a short day, chapter 30, The New Beginning. So it's, the very beginning of chapter 30. And there's always an introduction at the beginning of each, at the beginning of each chapter. And the introduction is usually a page or less. This introduction is simply a long paragraph. So this morning I was like, oh my God, the introduction, because I just read the introduction one day. And then I start on the section one, the next day, section two, the next day you get it. And that's how I've been doing it through the whole, the whole text portion. And I'm on page 625 of the text. So this isn't just like a new rule I made up this morning. No, it's been a rule. And in place, it's like a, it's like a national holiday. That's what introduction day is. It's like a national holiday. And if you've made it this far in this episode, which I really hope you have, I wanted to read the introduction because the introduction is, JUCIY, here we go.Mischa Z: 04:28 "The new beginning now becomes the focus of the curriculum. The goal is clear, but now you need specific methods for attaining it. The speed by which it can be reached, depends on this one thing alone, your willingness to practice every step, each one with a little help. Every time it is attempted and together will these steps lead you from dreams of judgment, to forgiving dreams and out of pain and fear. They are now not new to you, but they are more ideas than rules of thought to you as yet. So now we need to practice them a while until they are the rules by which you live. We seek to make them habits now. So you will have them ready for whatever you need." And what a great day off.Mischa Z: 05:46 I very much liked the sentence, "The speed by which it can be reached, depends on this one thing alone, your willingness to practice every step". And I just, I like that. I, I find that so many things in life, it's like, here's the steps to success, whatever that means, you know, here's your steps to completing this task. Here's your steps to achieving this goal, whatever, do the steps you'll get the result. And I love how that is what it's telling me right there. Like, Hey, guess what? The freedom that you seek is there for you depending on my willingness to practice every step. And then I also loved that the sentence paragraph one sentence five, “And together will these steps lead you from dreams of judgment, to forgiving dreams and out of pain and fear”.  And my guess is many people who listened to this will go that's who ha that's silliness. Like I don't want to be out of my, for my dreams of judgment to forgiving dreams, but I do. I do, as I record this right now in this moment, Mischa wants that. I want to be led from dreams of judgment. I want to be led to forgiving dreams and out of pain and fear. And I believe that that is a worthy goal to achieve.Mischa Z: 07:29 Um, what else can I say in that regard? Uh, do I need to talk any more about this? Um, do do do now. I need to practice them awhile. Oh, so the very last sentence, “We seek to make them habits. Now you, so you will have them ready for whatever you need, for whatever, for whatever need, you will have them ready for whatever need. And I love the, "for whatever need". It's pretty broad. That leaves a lot of space for application of said steps. Um, oh my gosh. I am so excited for the, for the further rest. Oh man. I can't even believe I've made it to page six hundred and twenty five, three pages a day. One section a day. Ah, life is good. I do very much love and enjoy the "A Course In Miracles". I would encourage anybody to get it. Have a great day.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

I got to speak on someone else’s summit for the first time today.“The Forgiveness Zone Summit”.  …Turns out it’s a lot of work to have a lot of hair.  How do you say “extra curricular”?  Putting myself out there a little bit is leading to some opportunities.  My big lesson from being an interviewee.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resourcesEmail me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Mischa Z: 00:01 What a cool day today. That's what I'm going to tell you about. But a cool day today, I was asked to speak on a sonnet. So that's what I'm going to talk about. How fun is that? Well, let's get right to it. Well, first off, let me just say that I was on a zoom meeting and, um, as my hair gets longer, I've officially, um, not had a care cut for, um, for, uh, a year and a half, and so my curls are in full effect, but I was on a zoom meeting this morning and well, the, the, as you, as a man, never really having long hair, I never understood the amount of effort that can go into, into managing said long hair. So hair ties, things like that, and really conditioning the long hair. So I've got curls and they can get super, um, knotted up.Mischa Z: 01:09 So you've got to, you've got to do some deep conditioning anyway, the day after can be awesome. Like the day after day one, the next day of the deep conditioning. Oh my gosh. Like full Robert plant mode. Now I see why girls, when they've got date night or whatever, or, or, you know, they've got a big night coming out, why it's so important that they do their hair and why they, it takes time. It just takes time. It takes time in the shower, all that stuff. So it's a process. It's a process. So anyway, any ladies that I've been married to and, or dated over the years, I apologize for any pressure that I have put on you to speed up due to hair care scenarios, um, anyhow, uh, onto it. So Connie, um, what's called his last name. See if I can find it quick.Mischa Z: 02:19 Connie asked me to be on her summit and what was super cool about that as well, was that I been very busy in my summit and, and doing these things. And so I hadn't been many on many of the extra, extra, extra correct. Correctly, extra what's that word? Oh my gosh. You know, when you're an extracurricular Yael is I can't even say it. Oh my gosh. It's late. I'm so tired going on. That summit took so much out of me speaking on that summit. It was the first I imagine once you get used to it, it's super easy, but energy-wise extra curricularly. Gosh, darn it.Mischa Z: 03:11 Email me the emails in the show notes, email. How you say that correctly? Oh my gosh, this is embarrassing. I hit pause so I can look it up, extra curricular, extra curricular activities. Anyhow. Um, so I get asked to speak on the summit and, uh, yeah. Time, effort, energy. Um, definitely, definitely, uh, tired as I record this. Um, oh yeah. So I had, I forgot why after all that talk on extra curricular activities, I forgot what I was leaving. I brought that up, but there's all these extra curricular activities available on the two CCX coaching, you know, opportunities to network, to learn, to grow, to bounce ideas with other people within the, within the coaching group, other coaches really cool times. And so I, the other day went on one of these extra curricular activities and, uh, someone who'd seen me on this in this coaching group for the last year was like, Hey, be on my summit. So I was like, of course I will. So that was very exciting to put myself out there a little bit and then get like a cool opportunity to, um, be asked to support someone's summit and to share my message. So her summit is super cool. It's Connie Macintosh Connie. And let me find, uh, Connie and Alan Macintosh. And there's someone who's called the, um, the forgiveness summit, which I think is beautiful and their tagline is getting out of your own way. So I get to speak on what inspires me to help others.Mischa Z: 05:18 How, okay. And what was the next question? So the first one, what do you feel holds? What do you feel holds people from becoming the best they can be? I got to speak to that. I don't want to take too long on this episode and I would encourage you to log into the summit when it becomes available to hear my answers. I'm sure I'll take an episode and give my answers, but worried about, uh, oh, how do you help them overcome those feelings? And then a lot of time people hold feeling resentment and blame deep inside. How could you help that person become successful in all parts of their lives? I got to speak to that, which was super fun. How great are these questions in your opinion, how does a global crisis affect individuals? We've seen incredible successes and huge losses. How does this happen?Mischa Z: 06:21 That was fun to speak to that both on an individual. And I touched politically on it just for fun, just for a second. And then do you have any other advice for our audience today? So I got to answer all those, the fun, fun, fun part, or the other interesting thing that developed was there's bonus rounds on these interview, on these summits oftentimes, right? There's the free interviews and then there's the upgrade bonus interviews. And she originally didn't ask me to do the bonus interview when we started. And I was like, oh, that's interesting. And so it turns out I added so much value on interview. One that she's like, Hey, I want you to do the bonus interview. And so I got to do the bonus interview, which she called "more with Mischa" and, um, I got to go deeper on some of the strategies and tactics that I have for dealing with resentments, um, for, you know, um, what was the thing she said about, uh, about how to help others about, um, about what do you feel holds people back from becoming the best they can be?Mischa Z: 07:40 And I went more in depth into tools and tactics for that. So that was super fun. Oh, and being my first summit, the big, big takeaway that I had was whenever I needed to pause and find my place in my notes, or think from it a minute, excuse me, I was super uncomfortable with the long pause. So I would cut a corner or I would just skip over or forget where I was, where absolutely next time I will not be afraid of the long pause in breathing, finding my spot, finding the point I wanted to make. So I kind of rushed through that being my first summit in being an interviewee on my first summit. Um, but no big deal. I feel like I was able to serve her audience and, um, bring valuable content. And I got to earn my way into the bonus interview. And then I did miss, uh, at least one important prayer that I wanted to put on there, which super bummed me out. But so be it. I prayed, how can we be of service? What can I bring to table beforehand? So clearly that's what the universe wanted me to do. So anyway, there you go. Hair stories. I'm learning how to manage a big mop of hair. And I got to speak on my first summit and there's a couple of lessons from it.

First, a quick blurb on loving my home yoga practice.  And second,A Course In Miracles was super juicy today and sparks a lot of thinking.  “Seek not outside yourself”…Or stop trying to fill the God sized hole with shiny objects.  I’m all in on that idea right now. With one of my main thoughts being: Just because we let go of wanting shiny objects It doesn’t mean we won’t get them.  It just means we won’t care.  But that can be a hard spot to get too.Administrative:  (See episode transcript below)Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/3z2NrIJGet A Course In Miracles Here! https://amzn.to/3hoE7sAAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peaceSee more resources at https://belove.media/resources.Email me: [email protected] social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzovSubscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Transcript:  Mischa Z: 00:02 Can I tell you that my yoga practice is strong. The home yoga practice is strong and thriving. Um, uh, two full. I do two, at least two sessions a week or two, I guess two days, two of the days right now, I'm currently doing it on Friday and Sundays, an hour, an hour home practice. That's very good. Has got forward bands back then, side bends, twists. Um, what else it's supposed to have in there? I don't know. I have a buddy below who says the things that make a good yoga class forward, bends back bends, side bends, twists. And what else? At least that perhaps more, but it's good. Rigorous. The breathing is awesome and I'm feeling the benefits. I believe I will add in a third day, I can lift my arms above my head. Again, I can't even believe I'm admitting that during the peak of the COVID after walking for a year and not doing any yoga or pushups or, or anything like that, I was just walking and walking and walking and I found that it was indeed hard to take my shirt off.Mischa Z: 01:33 I was like, this is insane at the end of the day. I'm that stiff because I think I was, I will. The other thing, not only was I doing less or zero yoga, um, or a lot of the other, you know, I was doing all this construction on my house and my free time not doing any of that. Um, what was I gonna say? Uh, I just, oh yeah. Sitting on the computer and doing all this to CCX Russell Brunson, coaching summit, podcasting, all this stuff w pulled me to the desk a lot more. So lots more typing, lots more staring at screens a lot more, perhaps hunched forward. Rolling my shoulders, needing to work on my posture, sitting sideways, sitting crooked, heck just sitting a lot more. I went from barely ever sitting to sitting a ton and no, none of the stretching and twisting and all that.Mischa Z: 02:39 And so my body was like, "yo dude, get after it, get your routine together." So anyway, I feel, um, it's nice to feel flexible and have that illusory body strength that yoga can provide didn't mean to go that long about that, but it is true. Um, I was going to talk today. The rest of this episode is going to be, was going to be a pure A Course In Miracles episode. Been a while since I've done one of those. So I wrote some notes, the section of chapter 29 that I read today was so juicy. I was like, eh, I just took so many notes. I thought, you know what, I'm going to try an episode and see if I can expand on the sentences that I wrote down. So, ACIM from the text section, chapter 29 The Awakening, section seven, seek not outside yourself. Not outside yourself.Mischa Z: 04:05 First thing I think about that as I'm all in on that right now, I'm like, yeah, go within find that God within that capital S self packets in my intro of my podcast, but, but filling that God size hole that's in me with the God within. Right. And, uh, so what I think is really interesting about that is somebody else might already have that section of their life sort of shored up and whole and complete and good. And so this part of the course in miracles night bite not jump out as the them as strongly might not jump out as you as strongly or resonate as much. So I just had that awareness. I was like, oh, wow, that's pretty cool. Like this section is just compelling me to write down all these sentences. Um, so paragraph six.one, "all idols of this world were made to keep the truth within from being known to you."Mischa Z: 05:16 "All idols of this world were made to keep the truth within from being known to you and to maintain allegiances to the dream that you must find what is outside yourself to be complete and happy". "And to maintain the allegiances to the dream that you must find what is outside yourself to be complete and happy." So all those shiny objects that are out there for me right now, it can be since I'm single women, um, it can be new levels of success or new success, or the summit success, or looks likes, follows, or validation from the 2CCX crew. My coaches, um, you know, financial financially finding financial success again. Um, cause it's, it's been a little bit and that's okay. And all these things, if I can, if I can fill the God-sized hole with God, with infinite intelligence, with whatever, then those allegiances to the dream, to the outside shiny objects. Um, I'm not looking at those for the short term happiness, um, or to make me feel complete. And I would even go so far as to say that could be, you know, your girlfriend doing what you want her to do in the moment. Like she's acting like you want her to, or your boyfriend or whatever, whatever way you swing, um, guy, girl, or your whatever, I'm going to save it.Mischa Z: 07:12 I believe you get what I'm saying. Or, you know, your kids a loser in the moment or doing what you want, acting, how you want having success, whatever it is not being a pain in the butt, blah, blah, blah. Right? It's like, oh yes, I'm whole life is so great. That can change in a heartbeat. The more source that happiness is within seven.one, the more that's from within the more long-term happiness completeness, we will feel. Seven.one. Let us forget the purposes. "Let us forget the purpose of the world. The past has given it." "Let us forget the purpose of the world. The past has given it" 7.24. "Otherwise the future will be like the past. And, but a set, a series of depressing dreams in which all idols fail you one by one and you see death and disappointment, everywhere."Mischa Z: 08:19 Everything we get attached to, we will lose. Right? Everything that I think I can't live without, I will have to learn to live with without, including my health, my hair life. As I know it, the way that I currently relate to this world. Um, but forget the, let us forget the purpose of the world. The past has given it, which means that whatever purpose we thought there was, we don't know it was illusory. It was. People are full of crap. They tell us that they know what the purpose is. Oh my God. Cause no one's ever living up to it. To change all this eight.one. "To change all this and open up a road of hope and of release in what appears to be an endless circle of despair you need, but to decide you do not know the purpose of the world." Oh, that was just the bomb set right there.Mischa Z: 09:32 My gosh, I've got so much to go with times that I lost track of how long this, this one was going. And then I was going on my yoga rant to start. Um, all we need to do is decide, I do not know the purpose of the world. And I love that, man. I love when I'm in the mindset of more will be revealed, who knows? It's not for me to know. I don't know. It's so big who knows what's going on out there? Like how much freedom that creates in me. And that can be, it can be a tough, that could be a tough wall to get over or a tough wall to breakthrough. Say it however you want. But when I truly believe at none of that man, how freeing is that, then I don't need to know. And I don't need to pretend that I know for you or anything.Mischa Z: 10:28 So good. Nine dot six. "The fear of God is, but the death is, but the fear of loss of idols". Nine, six, "The fear of God is, but the fear of loss of idols". Nine.Seven, "It is not the fear of loss of your reality." I I love that, man. It's like this idea that if I go all in on God or source or the infinite or whatever, again, call it whatever you want. I'm just going to say God, if I go all in on God, that I'm like what I have to let go of success. I have to let go of girls. I have to let go of money. I have to let go of all this stuff and I won't get it, all these things that I'm unwilling to go of perhaps. And the cool thing is if we can let go, if we, if we can stop fearing the loss of those idols, all those shiny objects who knows what it is for you, long-term marriage, or I have no idea, healthy kids or dating, lots and lots of multiple girlfriends who knows what it is, can be so many different things.Mischa Z: 11:37 But, um, "the fear of God is, but the fear of loss of idols." Yes. So the point is, if you can let go of those, the fear of loss, and then you just don't, it doesn't mean you won't get it, but you just don't care. How cool was that? Like, I don't care if this or that happens or I get this for that. And if I do great, if I don't, so be it anyway, I better chop chop nine dot eight. "But you have made of your reality, an idol, which you must protect against the light of truth." I mean, how true is that you have made that you have made of your reality and idle meaning fear of losing what I have or not getting what I want.Mischa Z: 12:32 Salvation ten.two. "Salvation seeks to prove there is no death and only life exists. That's a deep one. I'm not even sure how to talk about that. Let's see. I believe the idea is that when we're attached to these idols and these illusions and these things, they are constantly going away and changing and follow falling apart and quote unquote dying or going away, or we're losing them, fear, death, all these, right? Like wrap it up however you want. And so if we find salvation we're able to find source and be so full of God and source that we let go of all of this illusions. It there's no illusions, there's nothing to lose. There is no death and fracturing and, and all these things and change. So love that. Hey, I think I did a pretty good job. Thank you. Explaining 10 dot two. 10.5 in the last one. "Let him remind you of his love for you and do not seek to drown his voice in chance of deep despair to idols of yourself" more of what is a different spin on the same, turn the source. And, uh, don't drown out source with the shiny objects with the sirens call.Mischa Z: 14:21 Oh my God. There's so much up there. Everybody have a great day. Actually. I won't stop right there. I want to say what I said. So you got to hear me talk about how powerful yoga is to keeping a nice, flexible life and a empowered life. And then also, um, some ACIM goodness, there we go.

I continue with the thought of, “What am I supposed to be doing with my life?” and “Why the belief is should be anything different than what I am doing right now?”  And if I can strip off judgment, strip off expectations, strip off societal pressures, strip off familial pressures…I am freed.Episode notes:Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitMischa Z  : 00:02 On the previous episode, I've referenced to the question of “what am I supposed to be doing with my life?” I'm 53. I’ve wondering for decades.  With brief moments of, oh, I I've found my calling most of the time. It's like, “what is my calling?” Uh, but that, uh, but that what I'm supposed to be doing with my life is what I'm doing right now. And if I can strip off judgment, strip off expectations, strip off societal pressures, strip off familial pressures. Um, what I'm doing right now, creating podcast episodes. Um, I just did my bio yesterday. Um, you know, all these things, uh, they get to interview for somebody else's summit be interviewed.Mischa Z  : 01:05 Yeah, that's what I'm supposed to be doing right now. That's it.  Why the belief that it needs to be different? And I like that question. And I like that concept.  Finding acceptance of the moment, what I'm doing. I do not need to be anywhere different, differently, different. I believe you understand what I'm saying. So the strategy learned how to love what I'm doing right now, because that is what I'm supposed to be doing right now. That is literally what God has me doing right now, or the universe or infinite intelligence. So the tactics around that.  I talk about them all the time. I do.Mischa Z  : 02:01 So then we graduate to, as I am now doing what I'm supposed to be doing, my calling, whether I believe it or not.  As I'm working on my calling.  This is so funny. Thank you for listening and indulging me. I hope you're having as much fun as I am. I do, because this is fun and I'm working hard to be of service, to carry a valuable message and, um, to lead by example to be the mad scientist and go out and try new things and report back. Um, but the question is I just really had this awareness. I was like, wow, I'm in the heat of the battle with this whole 2CCX thing with this whole Russell Brunson high-end coaching thing, just getting done with the summit. And now there's a lot, lot more to do and potentially a lifetime worth of work. And I'm like, well, if one day at a time, and I like this concept one day at a time, if I'm willing to keep at it, how do I not have it be pressure filled? How do I have sleepful nights? How do I find contentment where I am within that process? Not feeling that I'm behind not feeling that I need to do more, not feeling that I need to be farther along than I am.  Not, not competitively looking at where I stand, where to relative to my perception of others.Mischa Z  : 04:10 And you know, the more I can keep in the moment, how do we keep in the moment? How do I keep in the moment by keep my thoughts to being of service, pray to be of service or a God, what do you have me? What will you have me do here? Where would you have me go? What would you have me do? And what would you have me say? And to whom, for example.  Um, totally lost my train of thought. My son's alarm is going off in his room. It totally threw me off hold please.Mischa Z  : 04:48 And how can I find an appropriate amount of, to do or to do's or work or work life balance. I dunno if work-life balance is the right thing to say, but, you know.  Can I be happy putting in, let's just say five solid hours towards it a day and not feeling the need to do more? And let me tell you five solid hours that's legit.  Five solid hours that's legit, like there's little breaks in there. There's lunches, there's distractions. There's, uh, you know, this, that, and the other thing. So the reality of five solid hours, some people people might be thinking, well, gosh, I'm doing 10 or 12 hour days. Yeah. I'm sure that you're doing a 12 hour day. That's highly focused consistently. I find a five hour day is much more productive. I'm just saying, so how do I not fall into that trap of need more or needing to be further ahead?Mischa Z  : 06:02 Anyway, these are just, this is this, these are things. So of course I've got my standard tools of prayer, meditation, journaling, um, service, you know, talking to my coaches, my mentors, all these things, um, you know, learning, growing, trying to, and in that vein I have, um, I have a, uh…  I’m interviewing Daniel Packard and we're going to talk about just that thing. We are going to talk about just this thing. So I'm super excited to learn some new tactics to help the mental, the mental, the mental, uh, hopscotchery. And, uh, I'm going to end with this and just a little bit of a rant here that, um, that oftentimes I am happy and comfortable and content, and it's all good, but it's when the shiny object takes over. I need to have X amount of money, X amount of success, X amount of looks, X amount of likes.Mischa Z  : 07:13 I need to, you know, just have, I can feel the pressure. What's the little, the bio, the little bio pressure, amplified pressure everywhere in my life. So now I've got the little pressure of having an email sequence done. That's amplifying the pressure and other parts of my life. And so how do I acknowledge the email sequence pressure and understand that in the big scheme of things, if it takes me an extra two weeks and I lose, you know, 50 of my 400 new list, like it's not the end of the world. Um, I'm just at the very beginning. I don’t know. This is just the stuff that was rolling through my melon a bit disjointed, um, trying to have fun people, trying to have fun. Welcome to the, um, to the fray. Those ahead. Thank you for leading the path.

20 years ago today was 9/11.  I remember where I was that day, what I was doing, and what I was thinking…It is perhaps not quite what you think.   I have changed a lot in that 20 years and I talk a little bit about it.Episode notes:Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitMischa Z  : 00:02 September 11th, 2021, 20 years ago was September 11th, 2001. I was 33 years old. I was living in Berkeley, California. I had, was married to Dawn, the lovely Dawn who was literally the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life. I swear to you when I met her, I was dumbstruck and, uh, we had a good run married for 12 years together for 14 or married 11 together, 13, something like that. Anyhow, we had our first baby Cooper who was six, seven months old, perhaps. Yes, right in there. I was sort of on the, not sort of, I was on the front end of my sales career. So I was five years into my sales career, maybe six years, something like that. 3, 4, 5, 6, 5 or six years into my sales career. I was aggressive and I worked a lot of hours and I was trying hard. Telemarketing ,cold calling, going door to door, walking into, into offices, asking for the C T O the chief technology officer.Mischa Z  : 01:48 I was selling tech. I was selling data lines, data co-location, um, all this sort of stuff, infrastructure, the data lines and the warehouse infrastructure for all the tech, all the dot-coms and I was full A type mode. And I remember that day, very poignantly. And perhaps for not the reason that you think, perhaps not the reason that you think. And that is really what I want to discuss on this episode is what I'm going to discuss on this episode. So I had had a wife, brand new baby. I believe I had finally purchased my first car with a loan.Mischa Z  : 02:52 How funny is that? Up until that point, I had been paying cash for my cars. And it was all about work. What did I have to do to succeed? So I'm sitting there that morning and, um, perhaps I was getting ready to go into the office or, or maybe I was working from home initially, but, there it was on the news. One of the twin towers had been hit by an airplane and I'm watching it. And I'm thinking about work and I'm thinking about work. And, and then as it goes on the tower collapses, the second building had been hit and the tower collapses. And I'm almost hesitant to admit it, but this was my thought, are they going to close the office today? Am I going to get to work today? I've got deals to work on. I've got prospects to talk to, I've got cold calls to make. Let me add it, let me at work. And I was really, really concerned.Mischa Z  : 04:21 Are they, are they going to close the office? I remember talking to my boss and perhaps I had been talking to other coworkers. I think I was, but definitely the boss. And I was like, come on, we got to keep the office open. Like I got work to do. I got sales to make. I had very little compassion. And definitely self-centered, I believe you would call that at the time. Cause I was really worried about me and how it was going to affect me. And then I'll tell you another thing. That's very interesting. I suppose it was a couple of years before that perhaps when lady Di had passed away, she died in that, in that car crash and the tunnel or whatever. And it had Don and I probably were not married yet, but definitely living together. And she was very upset as many women were back at that point because, you know, she represented a lot of things for a lot of women.Mischa Z  : 05:36 Lady Di did and I was, I had no compassion, no empathy, no what's the other word. Uh, sympathy, sympathy, empathy. One of those two words is appropriate. Um, perhaps both are. But I remember just telling her to mock up, you know, effectively, I might not have said buck up, but I would probably was like, why are you so effective? It's just, you know, it's just a blah, blah, blah or whatever. Just, you know, completely unaffected, completely showing no sympathy, no compassion, no empathy, and very closed off from my old feelings and my own feelings. And, uh, I actually apologized to Dawn for that years later. And I, when I did, I don't think she'd remembered, but I remembered, I was like, man, I was asshole. It's like, or I remember I was at a, at a meeting one time and someone was upset that they, their cat had died. I was like, I grew up in Wyoming, barn cats died all the time, blah, blah, blah. Again, no compassion, no empathy, no sympathy. And, and um, and that was the case on the morning of 9/11. And I was actually fairly, fairly upset that I wasn't going to get to work that day. And then I was concerned about how long as the office going to be closed.Mischa Z  : 07:17 And, uh, I was telling the story to somebody today actually. And they said, oh yes. The... So fast forward to today, I am a different person. Like I just ha I can have compassion, empathy, sympathy. I can hold space for people. I can...just, it doesn't like, I think back in the day, right, when Dawn was upset that princess Diana passed away, I could not handle that. Upsettedness. And so I would have to pull up this book, this wall, or this arrogance or this edge. And yeah, I'm a different guy today. Like someone loses a pet that sucks, you know, or a parent dying or step-parents, or God forbid a, you know, a brother or sister or a child or, or just all this stuff. It's like the littler things that I can have sympathy for.Mischa Z  : 08:27 And then also I don't need to shut down my emotions or run and hide when big things go down. So what did my friends say today? He said by rugged individualism stopped working for me. It was a great way to say it. My rugged individualism stopped working for me. Honestly, today, all politics aside, like I hope you can appreciate that. I don't really care about the politics of the matter. And, uh, I, I'm very grateful that I can see things from a more nurturing, compassionate, as I've said, um, empathetic sympathetic standpoint, and I can cry with people. I can cry by myself. I can, I can not have to put up a front of rugged individualism. Of this strongness, or it doesn't bother me. Or if things don't bother me, it's not out of arrogance. There was arrogance around all that before. Arrogance and selfishness. And that arrogance and selfishness has absolutely tempered in me. That's what I've got to say. Um, I believe life is amazing. I'm stoked to be alive, gifted with the spark of life with spirit. Everybody have a great day. This September 11th. I hope you have grown personally yourselves since that day.

There you go. All right, Francis. Good morning. And it's Francis, is it Pish?Francis P: 00:00:12 Yeah. There's never like a wish, you know, you can put the accent on everything, but not always. So it's, [inaudible],Mischa Z  : 00:00:19 You know, I was originally going to say that, but I was like, I'll sound ignorant if I do that, butFrancis P: 00:00:25 See your intuition was right. Yes.Mischa Z  : 00:00:29 Follow it. Yeah. I love that thought. Um, so your, um, I asked you before we hit record where you were and your obviously French nationality, what's that? French Canadian.Francis P: 00:00:45 French Canadian. Yeah. That's a big difference.Mischa Z  : 00:00:49 Big difference. Yes.Francis P: 00:00:52 So born in Montreal.Mischa Z  : 00:00:53 So tell me, what's the big difference about between, when you say that, what comes to your mind? The big difference.Francis P: 00:01:00 I can explain you with one word and I think you're going to explain it. You're going to understand it. So one time I was asking some French people, cause they're always, they always laugh about how we speak, uh, and that we speak like more patient. And then I said, oh really? All right. So I said, just tell me how you say Spiderman because in Montreal, if it's Spider-Man it's Spiderman or we're going to translate it, then we're going to say [inaudible] so it's like French or English. And, uh, and so I asked, I asked him, I said, how do you say Spiderman? And he said, speed up, man. Speed up, man. So I said, do you want to be saved by speed? That man, or you want to be saved by Spiderman? So he laughed. So that's the difference just in one word, because he would say he cheers to that right now. You know, it's like, oh, are you Spiderman or speed ah man,Mischa Z  : 00:01:51 Wait a minute. And I love that. Who do I want to be saved by clearly Spiderman.Francis P: 00:01:55 Yeah. Or see that man doing the shopping and the backing. And then that's that, that's all these speeds. So I'm like, wow, that's very, uh, that's very manly. That's really good. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but you know who you want to be saved by Now, you know? Oh, your speed a man. Okay.Mischa Z  : 00:02:23 Um, are you, so you're in Laguna beach, are you permanent permanently in the U S right now and have been for a while or just,Francis P: 00:02:34 Well, I do. I, uh, I do have a visa for five years because I have a business that's established here, so I can always renew it every year or every five years, which is really beautiful and amazing. So my permanent address is in, uh, Vancouver and now thanks to, thanks to COVID. I stayed a little bit longer and uh, I mean, I can say as long as I want really that's, that's what that's, that's the beauty. So, uh, you know, every time that I traveled and I come back and I show my visa, I'm very proud because it's an automatic access that like, okay, good. There you go. No questions asked. Yeah.Mischa Z  : 00:03:11 Yeah. Fantastic. And this, um, what percentage of Canada is French Canadian where there's, you're speaking French in that deep French roots, if I'm saying that?Francis P: 00:03:26 Uh, well, I mean, there's a, I believe it's, I don't, I don't know if it's going to be recorded. I think there's 11 provinces, uh, and some territories, but in Quebec that's a one in a major province. I think I'd say, you know, you have Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia. Those are the major provinces in Canada. And so I would say percentage wise, it's hard to say, I think we there's about 9 million people in Quebec, um, and 37 in Canada, the whole country. So, you know, you can imagine that California is actually as big as, as a whole country of Canada. And then, um, in Quebec I'd say maybe 75% of it would speak French. So let's say nine, 7 million out of 37. So maybe a good 25%, 20%, 20% maybeMischa Z  : 00:04:21 AndFrancis P: 00:04:22 Estimate, but Montreal, most of the people in Montreal would speak. Uh, they can definitely speak English. There's even a part of it. That's the English part of, uh, of Montreal. But if you look at the whole province in itself, that would be more French than English. Yeah.Mischa Z  : 00:04:38 Okay. And your, your, um, your, uh, sociology or, um, geography professor might be a little upset right now that you didn't know the exact numbers.Francis P: 00:04:51 I, I know like now I feel, but it's, it's, it's been a while. I mean, I know I'm usually good with numbers. I think I know my population pretty well. Like in general, I always like to know like what the, how many people are living, you know, in the greater area of a big city and then the city itself. But, you know, it's always fascinating to see the concentration of people just in these little spots, which, you know, if you look at Canada, it's a huge country, but all people are at the bottom of the line. Like that's where all people are concentrated right. On the border, right. On the border.Mischa Z  : 00:05:26 And is that a resource or just, uh, a resource that's where the most resources are in the country or is that a, uh, climateFrancis P: 00:05:36 Climate? I think it's mostly climate. Yeah. And also, you know, if you look at the path, you know, just where it started with, uh, San on the St. Lawrence river, you know, every, all the exports and ports were coming through that. And then, you know, it went up to, up to Ontario and then you have the big, great lakes. So it's, that's what we share with you guys, the, you know, around Michigan and all of it. So, uh, we share these, these great lakes. And then, uh, I, I, that's one of the reasons, if you look at the Vancouver on the other side of the west side of Canada, then it's pretty much the same thing. As you know, it's, you know, where the Berard inlet is and where all the boats are coming from Pacific Asia.Mischa Z  : 00:06:18 So in America you've got, well, historically like the north, the south, right? The, the there's the Confederacy, what do we call the north? The, um, the union, let's say, um, is there that, has there been that sort of tension between, uh, like French speakingFrancis P: 00:06:40 Historically? Yes. In long time ago, but yeah, it was the upper Canada and lower Canada, so that's all, that's how they called it. And, uh, and then I think what United, the whole country is the, uh, railway. So, uh, so Canada was established in 1867. Then, uh, if you look at it's really a history for me right now, like going backwards, I think it was in 1760, that there was a, a war between French and the Brits. And, uh, we lost. And I think since, since then, that that became predominantly a little bit more, uh, Anglophone if you will. But we know that that's where people wanted to keep their rights. And so at one point, you know, even not too long ago, I think it was in 1995 and there was a referendum to see if people wanted to separate themselves from Canada. And, uh, and then it, uh, it was very, very close. I think it was 49, 50 1%. Yeah. So we, so it stayed, it stayed, but, you know, there's a, there's a lot of controversy as well because, um, I think that government or Canada spent a lot of money to try to convince all, uh, people not to, not to separate and of course some caravans of people, but it was very, very close, very close. So there was a closest, I think that it was, uh, for the separation or the independence, if you're, how, how, howMischa Z  : 00:08:06 Old were you at that? At that point? IFrancis P: 00:08:08 Was, uh, I think 16, 17. I remember that, you know, I w I wasn't able to vote at that time then, uh, but everyone was, I think, you know, for us, it's 18 years old, you can roll. So it was, it was something that everyone was watching. Like that was pretty important.Mischa Z  : 00:08:25 Were you, did you have opinions about it at the time, or were you like, let me go out and hang out with my friendsFrancis P: 00:08:32 At the time I had my opinion and I think I've had the chance to travel. I was, I think I was more pro independence in a way, but not none in the way that I felt that it was, you know, saying, oh, you guys are wrong or whatnot. It was more about preserving the culture, but then at the same time, over time, you with all the travels that I've done, I think it was I've realized that, especially when I went to Sweden, because I studied five months in Sweden and what was fascinating about the countries that they were only eight or 9 million people, and they were speaking many languages, Swedish, Finnish, English, sometimes German, French, and you're thinking, wow, you know, these guys are awesome and they never, and never felt that they wanted to preserve their culture because you know, that at the time unwell was company from, uh, Volvo, uh, many big companies that were established in, in Sweden, small country, almost the size of Quebec.Francis P: 00:09:34 And so I felt, you know, if you really, if you, if you travel a lot and you, you, you will, by default love your culture. And you'll never be scared of losing it because look at the Sweeds, they, they spoke five languages. And so, so I kind of gave a different perspective and I felt, you know, you can definitely be integrated then, you know, I, I, I would say before you, you, you are worried about your own culture, make sure you live your own culture, you know, and then, and that, and, and then, then that way, then you don't need to worry about it because if you're, if you love your culture, of course, like the people that the kids are going to speak French and whatnot. So, yeah, but I mean, what I remember, what I remember for me is, is that at the time the politicians were a little bit too focused on, I felt putting like, okay, this is the bad side.Francis P: 00:10:25 Well, I don't know if I, if it's real, that's what I remember. But for me, what was important, it would have been kind of a thing. Yeah. And if I would have been a politician at the time, and I remember saying that to my friends, I said, let's not even focus on independence and just say, that's, what's going to happen. But first let's focus on economy. Let's focus on this. Let's focus on that. And then, uh, that's why I think they lost at one point years after when they try it again, because it's like, let's make sure that the base is strong before you can even think about that. And so, uh, but then of course, you know, these politicians were from, uh, a narrow that, you know, there there's some pride too, to talk about it, but I think that's the reason why they lost because they were too focused on that versus saying let's, before we talk about anything, let's just have a good economy, let's have this.Francis P: 00:11:15 And then we'll introduce that. So they, the, the party lost in the election. And I think that's the reason why, because they put too much emphasis on that. It's, it was, it's almost like you have to have a timing for it, but right now, I mean, I'm a citizen of the world. And I think, yeah, it's, you know, it's when you travel and you see, there's no, there's a beauty of different cultures. And I think what's important is really to integrate ourselves together and just appreciate it. And being curious about, Hey, you know, like what, what are you doing? And then, you know, I moved in Vancouver and I, it was a different culture, you know, just in terms of a, the number of Asian people, the number of, of, uh, and then you have the, the Britts, the, the British people initially, and now, you know, so, so it was great. Like, I mean, I love traveling. I love cultures.Mischa Z  : 00:12:01 Yeah. I think that's such a powerful statement. Um, you know, I like the concept of don't, you know, if you embody your, your, uh, culture, you know, and then you don't have to have fear of losing it, and then there's the illusion of losing it anyway. Right. Um, but, but, um, how powerful, clearly traveling has been on you and the sort of the, you know, there's the concept sort of elusive, but that we're all one. Right. And if we can,Francis P: 00:12:35 Yeah, I will. I will always remember, Mischa is, uh, I'm pronouncing your name. Right, right. When I went to Sweden, it was really amazing because, uh, that experience exchange student experience was that in that city called wound, or at the time there was 90,000 people in the city and 45,000 for students. And, uh, and then for us, there's a lot of different cultures. And I will always remember one moment where it was a dinner and at the table, there was a Polish guy, French guy, uh, you know, woman and man, uh, UK Germany, like different. And, and, and all we talked about was pretty much the same thing. And we all connected with the same values, which is freedom, uh, compassion, dreams. And, uh, it was just fascinating that, you know, for me, it was the first time that I saw that, Hey, you know, I'm talking about the same thing, I'm from a different country, but we will all want the same. We're all United. And so it was really cool to see that too. And then I felt, man, we can all be together. You know, we, we all have these same human values and it was really cool to see. And so I, it gave me a lot of pleasure to see that and hope and say, wow, such a beautiful human race that we are like, we just, we talk about the same thing. We could be friends with anyone.Mischa Z  : 00:14:05 Yeah. Yeah. That's great.Francis P: 00:14:08 Deep down. Right. Like when you, just, when you put aside the religion, when you put aside politics, you put all of the sides. And I think that it was, I heard that there was a study. I don't know if it was with, uh, Heineken, the beer that, uh, kinda, or I'm probably maybe I'm wrong, but that there was a, uh, maybe a TV show where people were not talking about politics and not talking about religion. And they all got along very, very well until they introduced the subject of, of that. And then people started to have some friction, friction, which, which, to be honest, if I compare it, if I compare Canada to us, I mean, there's a lot of beautiful things that I love in both countries. One, I think very strong as a value for Canada is tolerance because there's so many cultures.Francis P: 00:14:56 I think they, there was a magazine once that they say, well, who's the Canadian. Like, if you can, and then there was different, you know, they took a, uh, little cartoon and they just draw like what it would look like. And so you had part of it, east Indian, part of it, French Canadian. And there, it was all different. The unity was really the tolerance because everyone's sitting in the same melting pot. Now, if you look at us, I think one of the value that's really cool is freedom. And I think that people really want to, they stand by their freedom. And so for me, like, I, I just wished that in the world that people can talk freely about the side of politics that they have, that the religion is to me, it's more about why, why are you talking this way? What makes you think that this is, this is so good.Francis P: 00:15:43 Just in being curious, not judging, just being curious and say, oh, that's interesting. I didn't see it from that angle. I see where you're coming from. And, uh, I'll give you a really cool example. That again, in terms of culture really changed my perspective because in Sweden, they told us that, uh, I don't know exactly when I, I'm not sure if it's still being done, but the woman that are the mothers, when they go to the grocery store, they would leave, leave their children in the stroller, outside the grocery store. And so at first, and they say, yeah, of course, because for them, children are jewels of, of, of the economy, jewels of, of the society. And so they will never, ever even do anything against them because they're so precious. And so what happened is that the mothers that are leaving their babies in the stroller, other mothers are taking care of, of the babies while the mothers is inside the grocery store.Francis P: 00:16:43 So it's, it's almost like, yeah, of course, I'm going to take care of your kid and you take care of mine. I do my thing. I come back, everyone's protected. But at first I felt, and I imagine that like in Canada, us, you will be, you would maybe go to jail. They would say, are you kidding me? Like you left your kid, but, but the mentality was so different that I understood what it is to have a different culture. And who are you to judge if you're brought up in that environment? That's how you think since you're, since they won, you would not even, you would not even think that it's wrong. You would just say, yeah, of course. Like we would never do that. Like even a criminal would not even touch the baby because that's part of ingrained in their, in their mind. Yeah. So, so now when you do that, you're thinking, okay, so who am I to judge? Because if I was brought up in that same mold, I would probably have very different values, very different opinions, very different things. So when you meet other people from different countries, it's good to just be really neutral and say, Hmm, why are you guys thinking just curiosity, come out of with curiosity?Mischa Z  : 00:17:49 What, what can I learn here? What can, what can, what can this add to my experience versus I need to change your way of thinking.Francis P: 00:17:57 Exactly. And, uh, and I think that personally, I feel, and that's just my opinion, but I think that America needs to be a little bit more like this it's it saddens me to see the polarity of people that are labeling themselves. Okay. Your red, your blue. Yeah. Okay. And, and, and it's almost, it feels like it's, if you're this color, then you will never change. And you're that type of person. And I'm thinking, well, that's just one politician this time. Do you know? It's, it represents a party. It's not a hundred percent of all the things, so there's good and bad in everything. And so let's just be a little bit more curious and what's the end goal. Everyone's wants to be happy. Everyone wants to have a good economy. Everyone wants to get along. Nobody wants to hurt each other. So then who's the best for that. And then, so that's my opinion, but I think so I feel like, uh, it's, it's important that people, you know, are not putting, putting labels on everything and say, this is your category. Don't talk to me. Hey, you know, we're human beings. So it goes back to, you know, the, the melting pot of all the people at the same table. And I think down deep down, people wants the same thing. They want the same thing.Mischa Z  : 00:19:10 Yeah. I would agree. And I generally speaking, I mean, you have some outliers, but I think the, of course, you know, the, the, the 22, the 80% that band in there.Francis P: 00:19:21 Yeah, yeah. You know, most, most of us, or all of the same two standard deviations, you know, people far remotely on that line, but I mean, I think it's normal. It's also more yeah.Mischa Z  : 00:19:33 Yeah. And then there's room for them to right. So exactly for them. Um, I, yeah, I think, I think, well, I want to, um, we can circle back around to this, but, uh, I, I just wanted to touch on a little bit of what you do and I like your, the resilient, I'm looking over here at your, at your website and resilience, the resilience element, or R E you've got, it's like breaking bad for any Americans or, you know, the breaking bad TV show. Uh,Francis P: 00:20:08 I heard about it. So what is it, solar? Why is that?Mischa Z  : 00:20:11 Oh, well it's because breaking bad, they have that. They do the B I think B E. So they do like an element element as well. And then elemental sign they've localized it or whatever. It's really cool. So your R E is reminiscent of that.Francis P: 00:20:26 Good. Well, I wonder when did the show start? Cause I mean, this logo for me was started five years ago. So maybe talking right now. No, but you know, what's interesting is that R E when you, uh, when you look on the periodic table, it means rhenium and a rhenium that's, that's the reason why I became the logo because rhenium was at the time, the element that had the highest boiling point of all the elements. So it was the most resilient element of all. And then they also used it to launch rockets. And so launching dreams, launching, you know, there's, there's something associated with it. And it's also a, uh, it's a byproduct. So it's not like readily available like that. It's a by-product of different things. And so for me, when I describe resilience, I don't think you can say that resilience is resilience.Francis P: 00:21:16 So what is a native? And so there's five components to it. And to me, if you have a goal, if you have a big dream and you want to know what the components are to, to achieve this dream and this goal, well, there's five components and the five components are first one clarity. I need to know where you, where you are, where you want to go. Uh, the second one is conviction. So really the reasons why you want to accomplish something. If, if you don't have enough motivation, then that's not, as soon as you have an obstacle, you're just going to give up. And then the third one is certainty. You know, is that in your mind a certainty that this is gonna, is going to happen, or that if something, if your goal is not achieved, that the certainty is that there's always a lesson and that it's gonna lead you to something beautiful.Francis P: 00:22:05 Then the fourth one is commitment. So obviously you got to take some actions and on a daily basis. And I think when I described commitment, what I'm seeing in general, when people are establishing a really resolutions in the beginning of the year, is that their commitments are too big. Meaning, you know, it's too big of a chunk. Like they, they will not do any, any, it would not go to the gym for a year. And then they would say, oh, I'm going to go three times a week. And that's going to be an hour each. And then I think after two weeks, 92% of the people are actually just giving up on their, on their resolutions. So just let's have small chunks that with the compounding effort effect of, of, of that, that's going to create your goal and that's going to be easy to accomplish.Francis P: 00:22:48 And most of the time, it's just going to be motivated to spend way more than 15 minutes a day on something as an example. And then the fifth one is courage because you can do all of these things, right? Knowing where you're going or where you are, where you're going, have a lot of reasons why motivations, and then you don't have this certainty factor, certainty factor. It can also be, imagine if you had this certainty as a baby that knows they're going to know they're going to walk. You know, they never questioned, they know they're going to walk, but they could fall a million times, but in their mind, of course, I'm going to walk. I'm not going to crawl. I'm not going to say, oh, you know, I've, I've, I've tried it all. I'm stopping analogy, but for them it's of course, of course.Francis P: 00:23:33 Yeah. So imagine if, if in your mind, of course, I'm going to do it. Of course I'm committed to it. And so that's, that's certainty. And then, you know, when you do commitment, then of course, it's going to lead you to, uh, to your goal as well. And sometimes you hit the wall and that's where courage comes in. That's where the science of happiness comes in, where, you know, you can do the things to kind of raise your vibration back to why you're doing it. Then you can slow down and rest and recoup and, uh, do the things that are really helping you in terms of your mind, your body and your soul. So it could be just, you know, meditating, exercising, but it's all based on the science of happiness. So those five components, when you have it, I would, I would, I would ask anyone, challenged me. Like if you have these five components, I think you will definitely achieve your goals. Definitely.Mischa Z  : 00:24:27 I love that. You know, what's interesting. I just thought just occurred to me. Um, I get to interview a lot of people, obviously for my podcast and I, and I, I get it interact as I'm sure you do with lots of different styles of people. And there's such a, there's such a, um, you know, you just talked about meditating and, and, and exercising and it, in a way that's like, yeah, that's natural. It's what you do. And that's just part of the routine. Right. And how then you've got sort of this, it's, it's very clear sides of that lifestyle. I don't know if lifestyle is the right word or ideal or mentality mindset call it, what you will, but you would have, then it's people are either like, oh yeah, I just do it. That's what you do. It's how you have a good life. Right. It's part of what I do. And then you've got other people that, that is such a, how can I say it? Um, there's resistance to it, right? Like, like it's, uh, if you were to talk to someone about it, it would be an, a very elusive ideal for them. Does that make sense when I say that?Francis P: 00:25:40 Yeah, I think, I think I understand it. Yeah. Uh, part of what you're saying, definitely. I mean, for me, it's just natural. It is natural. I've never realized that I'm this way, but I mean, I've been meditating for at least six years. I think if I look at my stats, you know, cause I'm using an insight timer, probably over 2003, 2,250 days, uh, that I've done at least one session of meditation. So, and, and the biggest thing that I've done also in terms of meditation was a 10 day silent meditation and in South Africa, which call it, which is called Vipassana. And I see, so for me a day without meditation is, uh, it's not the same. I see so many benefits. Cause you know, it's helps me to slow down to prime my brain to visualize when I want, and it's not always the same.Francis P: 00:26:29 So sometimes I would, I would do guided most of the time. It was not, but I'm also, uh, a student of Dr. Joe Dispenza who was phenomenal in its own way for creating the future that you really want creating it, uh, not being, uh, and also what I'm doing with Proctor Gallagher Institute, which is the same thing. It's, you're, you're seeing yourself with a goal already accomplish. So the meditation for me is that time, my time to start my day and end even before retiring and going to sleep. So this is, uh, I love, I just love this lifestyle. And I think I heard that Ray Dahlia, one of the most successful people in, in terms of wealth management is meditating at least two times a day, 30 minutes. And he's a very busy guy. So to spend an hour a day for someone that's really successful. And usually the argument is, well, I don't have the time, but the thing is, it slows down everything. And then instead of panicking or taking actions on the wrong things, you just have way more clarity. And with clarity, you're saving time. You're like, you're, you're a supernatural person. So that's, that's how I see meditation.Mischa Z  : 00:27:43 I would guess that six years ago you would have not had that there would have been more resistance or I don't know if contempts the right word. Um, what's what is the word? Uh, when you, uh, you question the viability of something.Francis P: 00:28:03 Yeah. Maybe there's a skepticism skepticism.Mischa Z  : 00:28:06 Thank you. So clearly something happened six ish, years ago, you start meditating, you develop the resilience element, like what's going on six years ago.Francis P: 00:28:18 Yeah. I think, I think I started to meditate a year before I created those resilience element. And the funny thing is that talking about commitment and you know, when I set a small, small little chunk at the time, for whatever reason, I felt that 10 minutes was too short and 15 too long, just like just five minutes difference. Right. So I decided, I decided to start with 13 minutes. I'm like, I'm going to set it at 13. I've been in sales all my life, I guess. Yeah. I'm going to cut in the middle it's 13 minutes and the two minutes I can believe it, but it was the time that I needed to remove the resistance and say, okay, I'm going to do that sometimes days where that's why I like incite them or it's just going so you can time it. You know, if you have three minutes, you have three minutes and that's it.Francis P: 00:29:07 But, uh, so I started to do that. And then a year after, I mean, if I go personal, I, you know, I've been engaged twice the first time it was when I was 24, I think. And three months before the wedding, my fiance just kind of talked to me in our living room. She said, I want to cancel the wedding. I thought, wow. And that was when I started the new job at Xerox, which is kind of the, the, uh, I call it the army of sales because they drill you. And if you're not good, you're out. So I had a lot of pressure to, to be good. And then I had that, that happens at the same time. And I was studying, you know, studying the specs of photocopiers, which was far from what I wanted to think about. Then I wished that it was on, on the construction site.Francis P: 00:29:54 Just no, not thinking. And, uh, so I was in my cubicle learning everything and I had to go through that. So that's just one thing that happened. And then years later, maybe 10 years I got engaged again. And, uh, and it didn't work out. And five years after that I saw I met this person and we thought that we can rekindle their relationship and it didn't work out. So maybe a month or two after I decided, you know what, I'm talking to my coach. I said, I'm, I'm, I'm good. Now I've moved on my time to, to work on my dreams and do what I'm good at. And so I, the idea at the time was I'm going to speak about communication and sales always love public speaking, done some standup, like maybe 10 times, just because I wanted to explore different ways of talking.Francis P: 00:30:43 And, and then I said, what about the big dream? What do you mean? And, and I was a bit upset that he asked me that question and I'm thinking we've been talking for a year, at least. And now you're asking me this questions. Why are you asking me this question? So, you know, cause I want, I, I thought in my mind, I'm going to work every day on, on my goal. And I'm going to create this course in 21 days. And now he's saying, what about the big dream? And I'm thinking, are you listening to me? And he said, okay. So I'm going to ask you to do something that you will not like, do you want to do it? The, what is that question? You're asking me and you're not telling me what it is you like, yeah. Do you want to do it?Francis P: 00:31:22 So maybe because of frustrations, I'm like, sure. I'll do it. What do you want me to do? I want you to do nothing for three days. I'm like, I just told you, I want to say, Hey, you just say you would, all right. So what am I supposed to do? Nothing. And so what does, what does that look like? It's like, well, no journaling, no looking at the TV, social media. And then I was asking, can I meditate then I, yes, you can. And you can see my friends. Yes. Can I go in nature? Nature. Yes. Uh, but then I said, well, what about my clients? You know, I was in real estate at the time. It's like your you're sneaky like, I just don't want you to start anything if they call you fine, but don't just, don't have your open houses. It's just don't do anything.Francis P: 00:32:06 Okay, cool. And then just before I left, I said, I want you to do, and other thing, and, um, I want you to go in five years from now in your agenda, and I want you to write this. Okay. What do you want me to write? It's like, you're going to write, this is the day that I die. So what do you want to do in between Francis what's? What's the point of living? Why are you here? What's your legacy? What do you want to become? Who do you want to with? And then, you know, I saw my big, big dream, what I wanted to do. And if there was a needle, they went bam, like in my big dream. And then you said, I don't want, I don't want the answer. Let's talk in three days. And, uh, so now I'm just left with this idea. And by the way, my coach at the time decided to do the same exercise, which was really cool. So we were actually, actually, I think we were three people not doing anything. And, uh,Mischa Z  : 00:33:09 Yes. Your question quick. Yeah. Ask you a question quick. Yeah. That you just said that moment of the big dream did that happen in that moment that he was like,Francis P: 00:33:21 Oh yeah. I mean, I, I mean, I knew that. I knew that if, you know, seriously, if I, and if I even would ask you or any people listening, you know, you have five years, if that's the case, what do you want to do? So my mom, I don't want to leave this world without achieving my dreams. Like, of course, like, and then I knew that it was instant, but then he didn't want me to answer that question right away either. And so I started to ruminate, what is it exactly that I wanted to do? And so during that three days, you know, you can journal, so you get the ideas. And then I would just pray, please. I just want to, like, you know, what can I put it in my mind somewhere? And you keep it, you know? And then like recycling, it's almost like it was filtering.Francis P: 00:34:06 And then some ideas would, would leave. Some would stay, but there was a predominant thought that stayed. And I was so looking forward to jot everything down, as soon as I, this exercise is done. And, you know, I, it was a very interesting, because the first day when they gave me that exercise, I thought, you know, I'm leaving my coach's office and I'm thinking, what am I going to do now? So, uh, I remember driving and saying, oh, maybe I can go for an ice cream. Nev I never go for an ice cream, but I thought, you know, I just saw a sign. And then, um, I'm, I'm stopping. And there's a huge line for people to wait for their ice cream cones. And I'm probably the only one with a big smile on my face. And I'm like, Hey, I'm waiting. This is good. I have nothing to do, you know, great 45 minutes that I don't have to worry about.Francis P: 00:34:59 And, uh, and then I remember walking on the streets and people would look at me and say, hi, you know, they, they, I guess I had a different vibe and I remember even meeting a friend and he said, you're so calm. Like you still come like, Hey, by the way, do you have time for another hour? I'm you know, and, and I was so present. Cause I had, like, I had nothing to do. I had no thinking of things to do. My exercise was you do nothing. So then I'm present, I'm fully present with what's happening.Mischa Z  : 00:35:34 What's next, what's coming my, or just open to, to let's see whatFrancis P: 00:35:39 I like. And there's no work to be done. Like it's clear you do nothing. Okay. So, and then what, like, I enjoy this moment. And so it was very, very powerful. And then, uh, three days after it, you know, in my mind, I thought, okay, so if I have only five years, which five years a great timeline, because if I say you have a week, it's very good to meet you for the podcast. Sorry, got to go. I have other things to do. Or if it's three months, six, you know, you might say I'm going to sell everything that are traveled, going to do everything that I want. But then at one point, if it's after a year, let's say you had a year of traveling. You do ever, you go everywhere, then what, then what? So then you're thinking, okay, so there's something bigger than I want to do. I want to leave something. And then to me, I thought, okay. So for any dreams that people would have, or that I want, I've seen that the successful people always had at one point or the other, a choice to make between giving up or continuing. And I thought, I want to share this mindset, this mindset of resilience to make sure that, you know, you're you keep on going, even though you have obstacles and losses in your life and setbacks, and then yeah,Mischa Z  : 00:36:56 Yeah. Hold that thought. Um, let's go back to, to you. And there's two other people. So you, your coach, your coach is going to do this with you. And then there was a third.Francis P: 00:37:08 Yeah. It was another of his clients. And, uh, and then we all, it was all very powerful, very powerful for all of us.Francis P: 00:37:18 Uh, I don't know the other guy, my coach is still my coach. So we, uh, I remember that for him too. It was something that changed. Um, just you just realize, why, why are you doing what you're doing? And what, what does it matter? You know? Uh, and so for me, I decided, okay, I'm going to build this company. And then I just knew that it was resilience. So yeah, it, it was, it was clear, so much clarity, uh, which is an exercise that I had to do. And if you say you don't have time, what's the point of today? What's, what's why here and, and, and really things can, can be the light. And we would, you know, if you really had that life sentence, you would take that time. You would. So, you know,Mischa Z  : 00:38:06 One thing I'm working on myself right now, um, or is so, you know, I'm building new things podcast and just did this summit. I've got other bigger, broader ideas, and it can be so easy to feel like I'm behind. I don't have time. Um, I will start comparing where I am to where you are, all these things. And I'd love what you said, because I'm trying to, like, if we can stay in the moment, which is so powerful and trust that, you know, I'm right where I'm supposed to be, and everything's happening when it's supposed to. I like this idea too, that there's the illusion that I can make it happen faster or slower. Right. So, um, what am I trying to say? It's early. I guess what I'm trying to say is, uh, so I'm, I'm, I'm literally have been writing down, you know, what, what if there was no hurry? What, what if things can be delayed? That's you said that, and I love that. It's like, Hey, wait, I can feel like there's this urgency that these things have to be done. And if they don't, it's the be all end all and whatever my vision is will collapse, but that's an illusion. And, and so, yeah, that's, that's what, maybe speak to that a little bit more of that.Francis P: 00:39:24 Yeah. There's definitely some illusions. And I think the illusions are coming from what the society is saying to our education, our parents, uh, I mean, at the end of the day, we have 95% of everything that we're doing that's unconscious or is, is it's just habit. Sure. It's habit thinking. And so we're being driven by our subconscious most 95% of the time. The beautiful thing is that we do have a conscious mind that is able to reject or accept any ideas. Uh, and then, you know, when we have a new idea that comes in and it goes into the subconscious, and then there's some conscious kid, and usually the subconscious will always accept, but they create some sort of a conflict. So because it's, it's, it's how you've been living for a long time. So, uh, the way to change things and change the illusion is to impress a new idea with repetition.Francis P: 00:40:16 That's, that's why, you know, the program that I'm in the Proctor Gallagher Institute is, is so, so amazing. And that's, and that's based on thinking we're rich people that had a lot of success. And so it's like meditation. It's like everything, you know, I, I couldn't even imagine that, that I didn't think that repetition was so important because, you know, we go to the gym, we know that you're not going to change your muscles in one day, but we read a book once and that's it. And then we end and it's because we go to school, we get information and then we're being tested once on it. And then we move on and we're being rewarded for gaining more information, but we're not being rewarded for the application of that information. So, so to change your subconscious mind and to change the illusions, to impress new ideas.Francis P: 00:41:10 And, uh, and then that's, that's why I'm fascinating about what I'm doing and helping other people to do that. And really we can do anything. And, and, and, you know, the fact that we think that there's not enough time or that, you know, it's, it's pretty amazing. When you ask questions, what is your concept of time? What is your concept of money? Do you feel that you have enough money making money as these, you know, in society? It's no, you got to work hard. You're going to hustle. You're going to do this. And the more and more I'm realizing with what I'm doing is it's all about the vibration. It's all about the being it's, it's, uh, you're not gonna, and it's who you are that creates everything. It's the be, do have a equation versus there have. And what I mean by that is when I was young, I always felt that I would be someone once I have XYZ, once I do this, and then I'm going to become a happy, I'm going to be happy once I have the house, once I have the dog that the marriage and everything, but it's the other way around, you're being the way you're you are, is creating the type of actions that are going to lead to what you have later on.Francis P: 00:42:21 It's not the other way around. So otherwise, if you're, if you're on the other side of the equation, then it's a chase. It's a, and then you go to the, the goalpost and then the whole journey is, is being miserable. I was one of them. You know, I, I was always, I stayed four years in a company for bonus and I was miserable and it caused me, I'm pretty sure my first relationship, the marriage, because, you know, my flame was diminishing and diminishing, diminishing instead of being happy in the journey. And we don't know when that life is going to end. So that's why I was so passionate about, you know, make, make, make it living, not being scared of dying, being scared of not living while you're here. And I think it's really, really important. That's why, and I have a friend that passed away two weeks ago, actually on my birthday, and I'm going to try not to be emotional, but it was, uh, you know, two weeks before that, uh, we had a conversation and I know that it was the last one because, you know, he had cancer for two years and, uh, and I wanted him to maybe participate in two or what we call a remote healing.Francis P: 00:43:36 So it's sending energy from different people to him. And he said, I'm good. I don't need this. I'm like, so what's going on? It's like, well, you know what? I think I'm, I think I'm done. I think I, I'm just sick of, of being sick. And, uh, I've had a good life, you know, I've, there's of course there's things that I wish I had, like a family and kids, but, you know, for the most part, I'm pretty happy at what I, what I, what I've done. And so imagine having a conversation with your best friend and you just, you know, it's the last one. So every second counts. Right? So you're, and then, um, I, it was a beautiful conversation, human conversation where I said, so what do you, uh, what do you recommend? Like if you had to send a message to the whole world, what would it be for you?Francis P: 00:44:26 And he said, well, just be yourself. Just be yourself. You're authentic self. He Said, don't let anyone sway you or anything. So where you from your past. And, uh, and for him that he see, you told me the story, his name is Neil Anderson. And he told me to study when he was young. And he used to go back at, at, at home. Cause his mom was asking him to always go back at home before he would do anything else playing or anything. And he said, at times when it was raining, I was watching it a TV show. And I think he was in Scotland at the time. And the TV show was that there was a psychologist that was bringing some actors and I guess talking about some different concept. And he was fascinated by it. He was fascinated, he told his dad, that's what I want to be.Francis P: 00:45:11 I want to be a psychologist. And his dad was more of an engineer type. And he said, no, you know, you're either an engineer or a doctor or you're you go in business. And so he ended up going into business and doing a lot of different things. It was successful. And then at one point I decided to be a psychologist and he did, and it was a really, really good one. And so he followed his heart and then later his, that was brought up. But so that's, I think that's why you say, you know, don't let anyone sway you from your path. And the path is very unique to everyone. And then he also said, I would wake up every day and I asked myself, how can I have a life of abundance and vitality? And then I said, uh, how do you define abundance?Francis P: 00:45:52 He said, well, that's, that's the beauty of life. You're the one that created this one definition. So it was, so to me, I say that because after that, they kind of gave me a kick in my butt to a refocus on my project of documentary, on resilience element and interviewing the people because life is so precious and I want to live my life to the max and not let my fear and not let the society, the people, anything sway me from my path. And I think you really know what your path is when you're asking yourself like this kind of fake life sentence of five years, and it could be less, it could be more. And so really why are we here? Is that, is that to live in fear most of our time or more most of our life, or really go for it and, and do anything that we can to have a legacy, to have an impact, to help others and, and make, make something good out of our life. And that's why now I'm, that's, that's my driver. Driver to honor what my friend was saying and just help people to live their best life with their dreams. And if there's any obstacles, they're going to know what the resilience element is. And they're going to know the stories of people that against all of the, uh, they made it happen. And then now there's no excuses. You can use all the science, you can use the stories and they can do anything. So that's, that's why I'm doing what I'm doing.Mischa Z  : 00:47:22 Do you remember the point when Neil, um, I guess left his business life to start his psychology?Francis P: 00:47:30 That Um, I, I don't remember. I know that you just, uh, there's a moment where I wish I knew the answer, but he just decided to go forward. Cause I think at one point you realize why, why am I doing what I'm doing? And so maybe for some, you know, if they can ask themselves, is this really what I want? I buy Bower of that from somebody else? Is it my thing? Or is it somebody else? My parents, the society, whatever, because I believe that, you know, even my godfather told me when I was 16 and it was my birthday and he gave me a birthday card and he said, Francis, you know, now you're 16. That's awesome. And you're gonna make decisions for, for, for your career. Please don't make a decision for the paycheck. Do what makes your heart come alive. Otherwise you'll be poor all your life. And I've been following the advice.Francis P: 00:48:26 I, first time I had a job offer to job offer. One was 55,000, you know, when years ago, 20 more, and then the other 1 35, it was just 20,000 difference. But, you know, I felt 30, 40% more and international business or international company, a multinational, a great salary path. I don't know, but it was selling electronic parts. I didn't care about electronic parts, but Hey, you know, there's all that path versus another one, which was a smaller company traveling around the world for, I think it was dentistry, but you know, I was passionate about traveling and the cultures and everything, but the salary was not good. And so imagine if you take that same person, you have the one that's on the trajectory of fully living your passion fully being alive every day, not being in jail, not dying every day. And the other one that's alive, does what he loved.Francis P: 00:49:25 And then you become an expert. You would just use your, your you're gonna love what you do that, you know, your people are gravitating around you because you're the, your, your enjoy, your vibration is high. And 10 years later, I mean, money was not in be, even be part of the equation. First of all, you're happy every day. And I would probably guess that actually your fortune, whatever, how you call your fortune is, is way better. Like in terms of your health, your relationship, uh, maybe salary, maybe money, but, you know, it's, and it doesn't even matter. So I discovered that card 20 years after and, uh, wow. Okay. And that, around that time I decided to go for, and with the exercise and my coach and everything I decided to go for my dreams.Mischa Z  : 00:50:13 Do you think, um, it sounds to me like, uh, I'm my condolences for your, for your dear friend, Neil. Um, what a, what a heavy moment. And I mean, and how powerful that you could be there and, and show up for those conversations too. I think that that's, uh, that's, um, it's a gift, you know? And so thank you for sharing that. Um, that's, uh, it's good. It's good. I mean, those tragic circumstances that the beauty comes out of, right?Francis P: 00:50:50 Yeah. And you know, the funny thing is that he actually did die on my birthday, so I don't think it's a coincidence. So I see it as a rebirth day now every year. And, uh, and he took the time to even send like a message on Facebook, I guess, maybe a couple of hours. Cause I learned about it the day after. So I knew that it would come, I didn't know when, but yeah. What a beautiful gift you gave us or he gave me to, uh, and my friends, cause I thought about it, but you know, he's yeah, that was very instrumental.Mischa Z  : 00:51:24 Yeah. Sounds like maybe up until that moment, you were sort of, uh, lost sight of your vision for a minute. Okay.Francis P: 00:51:32 I mean, I was, I was recommending it, but I think it's just like, it's almost like the mail that just closed, you know, it's it's, it was, it was up in the air, but now, you know, it's, you know, I know. And uh, and that's, that's, that's his biggest gift, you know?Mischa Z  : 00:51:54 Yeah. So at your website, um, FrancisPiche.com and that's F R a N C I S P I C H e.com. That'll be in the show notes. Anybody can click, um, check it out. You have some great, a couple of cool interviews. There's one interview with uh Baptist de Pape. Yeah. Yeah. How awesome is that? Um, but I'm just looking at your, um, do you have extensive training and, and, and, uh, coaching and personal development and all this stuff, and it sounds like currently the Proctor Gallagher Institute, is that Bob Proctor or is itFrancis P: 00:52:37 Yeah, Bob Proctor is behind with, uh, Sandy Gallagher's. So it's Sandy Gallagher was an attorney, a merger acquisition attorney, and she just wanted to expand, uh, what Bob was teaching. And so right now, thanks to her and the merge of this organization, they're in more than 90 countries. And so, uh, it's a ripple effect of, and I, I, to be honest, the only thing that I knew about Bob to me and my mind was the movie that the secret. And I felt that I wasn't sure if I really liked, uh, Bob, I knew I had a lot of respect, but I, but now when I, when I discovered what he's talking about and merging what I've learned from Dr. Joe Dispenza and, and really talk, it's almost like a bridge of what I would call the 3d society, you know, the hustling and everything, and a five D, which is, you know, you, you tap into this field of consciousness and now magic starts to happen.Francis P: 00:53:30 And now it's quantum leaps. It's not a, you got to work hard for it. That's the merge that he has. So he is, so it felt that it was me, was me totally. And, and all the language that he's using in terms of the, is really a mindset program, business wealthy, or however you want to call it, but it was, it was me. And so I felt equipped to talk about it, coach it right away. And, uh, and I really underestimated how powerful it is until I started to do the program. I'm the product of the product, you know, and consulting and I apply and that's, and to me, I think I see him as a, as almost a, a grandpa, you know, the grandpa had a lot of success, the followed a mentor called Earl Nightingale, who had a lot of success who was talking about the thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking, grow rich book.Francis P: 00:54:18 And so, you know, of course these guys, there's a reason why they were successful. And so what Earl Nightingale told Bob was do what I say until we can prove me wrong. And, and then to me, it was okay. So if Bob did what he said, and then I'm going to do what Bob is asking me to do. And, uh, and that don't question it and it works. It's, that's why, you know, in terms of goals there, we're not even asking people to think about, Hey, how can you improve by 20% or 15%? They're saying, you know, you take your monthly, your annual income and converting into annual monthly income. So it's 12 times more. And the funny thing is that once you started think that way, and you raise your vibration to that level, your ideas are completely different. If I ask you, like, how can you improve your business by 10% or how can you 10 X your business, the ideas are not the same.Francis P: 00:55:16 And you know, everything that comes now is bigger ideas, bigger ways to accomplish it. And so now the sudden it's possible. It's completely possible. And, and, and the only reason why it's not possible is because of what we call the paradigm. And the paradigm is all your subconscious that you've been thinking about for a while. And so from people that they would probably say, it's impossible, 10, 10, X, it's impossible, but there's a million ways to create abundance. You know, people, even in the ones that have a salary, why, because, you know, you can start to do what you love and, uh, and do offer a service and you'd better be rewarded for it. You can establish a store, you can, there's so many ways to do it. Right. But yeah,Mischa Z  : 00:56:01 Yeah, I was gonna say it, uh, it, um, those ways are expanding exponentially just with technology and all this stuff. And, and there's, there's a thirst for, for that information to, or for, yeah. Um, I, I, um, you did some landmark stuff too. I see. You've done a bunch of stuff. Some Tony Robbins, uh, uh, I'm just, you know, uh, looking on your, on your sort of your history of, of coaching and your passion for it, and you love it clearly. And it's, and it, it's fun. It's fun to talk to you because you know, you, you definitely have a, a presence and, and, and that calmness that you're talking about and that being in the moment is, is very evident. And it'll be fun to see for people if it, if it transfers through, through the podcast. Right. Um, so I just want to acknowledge that.Mischa Z  : 00:57:03 So thank you for that, but I have, I, I, what I'm thinking is maybe you could speak to this quick. So somebody is in that spot where, where maybe there's a breakup in their life, right. That, that the woman of their dreams evaporated, or the man did, or, you know, you've been through a couple of heavy breakups along the way. Um, or perhaps there's that burnout moment, um, that burnout moment at work or career, or what have you. Um, and it's like, we know things have got to change for some of us, right? Some people not, but some of us it's like, wait, things have to go a different way. And thinking of your resilience element in your, you know, your clarity, conviction, uh, certainty, commitment, and courage, if someone's on the very front end of that. Right. So someone's like at the breaking point and they're like aware and ready to like, maybe plow forward in a new direction or take a leap or something like that. Like what, give me some like, tangible, workable tools, like a few things you're like, all right, if someone's in that spot and they know they are ready to change, or things have got to give, like give me something that somebody, some of the very front of end of that can doFrancis P: 00:58:30 Well. I think I'm going to give, um, I love to give a lot. I mean, I'm going to give a, what I always feel is a foundation of everything for before we even start to talk about the five components and those are very, and that's that's, if you, if people would be my clients, they'd be surprised how often we would actually go back to that basic and that foundation. And so there's a couple things that I think are very important. One, uh, is, is to say there's a book called "The Way Of Mastery". And, uh, one of the things that they mentioned is that, and I think landmark would probably touch on that as well, is that all events are neutral. Okay. Let that sink for a second. So what if I asked you, what do you think that means?Mischa Z  : 00:59:15 Yeah, to me, that's like, that's, that's this idea that the breakup was bad, but perhaps it's neutral, neither good nor bad. It just is.Francis P: 00:59:26 Everything. Yeah. Everything is, everything is just neutral. And so, because, I mean, maybe people are not going to see it, but it can imagine in their mind. So I have a cup, a cup that has my logo on it, and then you see, uh, something black and white. And then on the other side, that same cup there's, it's only black. So if I, if I would ask someone like, so what do you see? Like, what colors do you see? And it's a while I see white, then the black, what are you talking about? This is not white and black. This is, this is black. And you're like, what are you talking about? And then, and then you just realize that, you know, like turning on the other side and then, oh, it's black, you know, but it's just because it's a different angle. It's a different perception.Francis P: 01:00:07 Yeah. So, so what's in the way of something that's like, the cup is the cup. The cup is just the cup. Like an accident is an accident. What breakup is a breakup, everything is just is, but then you have, first of all, the first filter is perception. So all, if I look at, at a different angle, then I would discover that, oh, you're right. Like it's actually white and black, but then on top of it, there's also meaning. And so if I show you, if someone says, do you know that I don't like to mix white and black together? Or what are you talking? You're making me mad right now. You know, I hate that. You know, what are you talking about? This is only black. No, it's white and black. And so now this sudden, like the meaning on top of it is huge.Francis P: 01:00:50 So, you know, and then, so it's imagine your mom is saying Mischa you're, you're a piece of nothing. How would you feel? And then there's a two year old that says exactly the same thing. You are just a piece of, you would probably laugh. It's exactly the same, but you know, all of a sudden the meaning, because it's your mom, then now it's big thing though. Like now it hurts your, your, your heart, but essentially it's all the same. It's just all events are neutral. So the beauty of that is that now that we know it, we can choose, we can choose. This is very important. What I'm saying, choosing the perception, choosing the meaning. And then it's a different story. And if so, for someone that had a bleed or a breakup, and I think what's also important what I've learned with the Vipassana meditation and observing the thoughts and, and knowing that everything is in permanent is to go through the pain, really go through it, feel it, you know, I remember when another relationship where I wasn't sure if the person was cheating on me or not.Francis P: 01:02:00 And I remember having this meditation and I decided to go through it, like, let's say, okay, let's, let's go through the graphic of her cheating on let's, let's go like, instead of resisting, because the resistance is just creating this pain even longer. So now I decide, okay, I'm going to go through it because I had this experience in my body of having the pain during the meditation. And I went through it and I lived, and I felt a sensation, felt the sensation fully. And it's fascinating, whoa, this is intense. Wow. And the, and then eventually it evaporated. Yeah. So it was, it was an amazing learning experience. So I decided to go through this visual. Okay. Let's say she's cheating on me and everything. But then I realized, is this really above me? Is she really considering mean the whole, if like, if that would happen, would she even say I'm going to do that against Francis.Francis P: 01:02:52 I'm just totally going to him off. And, but it has nothing to do with my value. It has nothing that would be her decision to do something because of whatever the perception in the meeting sheet she had. Yeah. It had no, but so then when I discovered that I felt, well, it doesn't even matter. What I know is that if she doesn't, then it would be over because that's not my value, but it has nothing to do on my value, my worth. So, so, so now that I know it, I just, and then as soon as this meditation was over, I remember that the little inner voice was you got it, you got it. It doesn't matter. It's. And then five minutes after she called and she broke up. So, so I had a beautiful meditation right on time. It's almost like, yeah, you got it.Francis P: 01:03:45 Exercise. That's done on. And she did, in fact, uh, was with someone that I thought that maybe there was something, but, and you know what? It didn't matter because I felt well, of course, it's not, I'm happy for her. I'm really happy because this is a match for her, not a match for me. So the first, that's just the first foundation of saying, you know, all events are neutral, uh, and choosing. So, you know, it's when people say it's in a language, your language is a dead giveaway of your belief. So if you say, Hey, Mischa, you want to go to my party? You're like, uh, I might, I might be like. "I might" what is that? So it's not commitment. And a lot of people are keeping their option, be all open, but you're not committing to anything. So it's a, an old people would say, I have to do something.Francis P: 01:04:33 I got to do something. It's basically being a victim of not taking ownership of, of what you really want. It's not true that you have to do something because it's actually a choice. You know, I have to work. No, you don't, you don't, if you don't want to work, you don't while there's a consequence to it, but you choose. Yeah. It's better to say I choose something versus I have to, uh, Sufism. Now, this thing is bigger than you. So that's another distinction. So when I hear my clients, I say, Hey, what I choose? Yeah. And choose is now, this is beautiful because you feel empowered right away. You're choosing something. Nobody's telling you what to do. You're choosing, you're choosing your perception. You're the meaning. You're choosing all the time. And if you don't choose, if you don't do anything, you choose not to do anything. And, uh, and then, uh, another last aspect is, and Einstein said, the most important question that people can ask themselves is, do I believe that God or the universe is benevolent?Francis P: 01:05:39 So imagine how you live your life. When you think that life is bad, life can always have catastrophes and setbacks. And it's not. It's a, it's a bad world versus I believe that everything is benevolent. So that means that. Now, when I have a challenge, I know that this is for my highest good, it's a very different way to live life. And it's in some ways. And that happened to me a couple of times, is that when something happens out of nowhere, I'm almost excited. Cause I'm thinking, well, the universe, God is really helping me is saying, Hey, sorry, you're going to, you're going to fall right now. You're really going in a wrong direction. I got to help you. And that's what happened to me. Like, I mean, three months before the wedding, cause I was on the verge of like really pleasing, uh, not being happy and deciding that this is how I would live my life.Francis P: 01:06:33 And I would have been miserable, probably fight all the time in front of the kids and that's not good and be, and really not be happy and maybe die before. So we noticed that, yeah, it was, it was a gift. It was a re so when you see, and that's what I love also from Bob Proctor, he said, I have never learned anything from my failures. I started in my, from my wins. I've never learned anything from my wins, but I've learned so much from my failures. That's why I love failures. As much as my wins. That's a beautiful way of looking at things, right. So now you're saying, well, everything's for my is good. I believe the universe is benevolent. So I accept it. I embrace it. I go through my pain and then I'm free on the other side. And so that's kind of the foundation, I would say for anything that happens before I started working with anyone it's to really grasp these concepts.Francis P: 01:07:28 And then of course, you know, in conversations we Slater or something would happen and it would just be upset. And so I was so upset that this person did that. I'm at work, all events are neutral. Uh, so now with that, you go back and you go back to the event and now you work on the beliefs, where's this belief coming from and you kind of tweak it and you, and that's how I know that for me. I think one of my strengths is I can unlock someone pretty fast. So in an hour, you know, I can do something. That's, that's why I love what I do. And that's why there's a premium to what I do as well, because I can really get people on lot fast. And I think it's because, I mean, I've had these, these problems in my life, either breakups or, uh, it's financially, uh, you know, and I talk about it in the, uh, what I called, uh, it's a book that was from JB Owen.Francis P: 01:08:24 And, uh, we became best celebrator compilation book and it was called the in night possibilities. And, uh, and so I know what it is to sometimes go to the cashier and you don't want to fix, you're going to be able to pay. And it's an awful feeling, a very awful feeling. So another thing that I would say for as an advice to people is really pay attention to where you put your, your attention does. That's where you put your energy. And so are you focusing on the lack? Are you always in fear or you're like, okay, that's enough. I don't think that it serves me anymore. Now I'm going to create, I'm going to choose to put my focus on abundance on ways to generate and to generate it. And because when you put your attention to that, that's what you manifest. That's your vibration versus really saying, I believe in myself, I believe I can do this.Francis P: 01:09:10 I'm going to get out of it and I'm going to succeed. And that's all I put my attention to it. Then that's, there's everyone. I see a book right now. It's called "Your Invisible Power" from Genevieve Behrend I think, but the point is is that we all have this power. That's accessible to everyone. There's a power that exists that helps us, helps us to take this oxygen in our lungs. Where's that coming from? There's something that grows trees that grows flowers, and it's really effortless for trees and flowers to grow. They they're not, you're sustaining it. They're actually using the power. So the beautiful thing is that we all have access to the same power. So why is it that some people are able to succeed so much and some don't, there's only one common denominator and that's you. So that means that you, the beautiful thing is now you can reassess and say, oh, I'm, I'm the one that created it. And I could be the one that creates something new. And that's why it's so fascinating. And I love, I love working on mindset. I love that. Hold on one second, one second.Francis P: 01:10:19 Ignite Happiness. Yes. This is the book, uh, that was Ignite Possibilities, but Ignite Possibilities and also Ignite Your Inner Spirit. So I've had the chance to be in two books. One is relating the story of my plant medicine in Peru and the lessons, very powerful lessons that I've learned. And then the other one is really about 2020, what happened? And the business partners that faltered into their commitment that put me in a situation, financial situation was that that was not easy. And I realized at the end of it, I'm summarizing that I didn't act in the beginning to ask my partners to keep their commitment, because it was out of fear. What it gave me after the whole year is that I am a creator and I could have created that. I had the power to create from the get go. So I like to say you either wait or you create it's really just that you wait or you create, so you don't like this situation while you're waiting.Francis P: 01:11:23 So what do you want to do? And I was waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting. And then to realize that I could have created this conversation from the get-go my fear manifested. They didn't pay, they didn't do anything. I could have just acted out of power and love and just say, this is not acceptable. If you want to work with this project, this is how it works. I don't, I don't want to hate you. It's all good. You just tell me, what's your choice. I'm choosing that you make a choice. You either keep your commitment or you're out, but you know, your beauty is you choose which one do you want? Because working with me, that's how it's going to work. We're going to keep our commitment. So, Hey, I don't want to force you anything. You, you choose which one you want. And that's the conversation I had at the end, but I waited a whole year. And so that'sMischa Z  : 01:12:14 Why I'll say prophecy that you're talking about. Exactly.Francis P: 01:12:17 So, and that's also where you put your attention, right? So I was trying to be nice the whole year. And, but, you know, and I have absolutely no problem with these people at all. Actually I have a lot of compassion because they gave me the one of the most beautiful lessons. I know that now I can create anything really. And so it was a $190,000 lessons, but, but you know what, I know I have the power to create millions. So it doesn't matterMischa Z  : 01:12:48 Everything you had at that point.Francis P: 01:12:51 Oh yeah. I mean, and you know, I still owe some money that's that's but the beauty is that I know I have the power of creation and that's why, I mean, I, I feel that I've had a lot of gamut of different emotions and different events in my life that I feel that I I'm thanking God and the universe that I, I haven't had. Like, I mean, at first I remember days where I was first thing, but now I know that this was for my highest good. I know.Mischa Z  : 01:13:18 Yeah. Yeah. And you can have compassion for the situation and the people within it, which is what a gift is that. So what year did that go down?Francis P: 01:13:28 Uh, 2020. It was really when things didn't go as much as well as we wanted, but then, you know, and I'm laughing, this is good. This is a good sign.Mischa Z  : 01:13:38 Right. You can talkFrancis P: 01:13:39 About it now. This is great. I be healed. Uh, but you know, at the end of 2020, then, you know, I think I just decided, and I'll give you another example. You know, sometimes we, I had my pension funds that I created a long time ago when I was a salary person and a at the end of the year, really wanted to go do the event with Joe Dispenza and then I didn't have the money. So here's another gift I'm going to tell people is that you can never, ever, ever say, I cannot afford it. That's impossible. So can, you can say you don't have the money in your bank account. That's, that's true. That's a fact. But to say that you cannot afford it. The best story that I've had for this is my friend, Crystal Russ, who's a mental toughness coach. And he was telling him about his story, but they basically had a challenge and he didn't have the money. But once you realize that you are resourceful, that means you can afford everything because what's in the way is maybe just you making a bold request. Because if I say, Hey, Mischa, you know your best, friend's gonna die tomorrow. If you don't bring $50,000 by tomorrow at 10:00 AM, what would you do? Yeah, I'm going to go,Mischa Z  : 01:14:50 I'm going to start talking to people and I'm going to rally the troops.Francis P: 01:14:53 Right? You would do anything. Right. So, so that's, what's available for everyone. You can do that. And so, uh, so what are, so what happened is that for me, I have this pension fund, but then I realized that the reason why I didn't want to use it is because unconsciously, I felt that I could not be able to replenish it. And then I felt, this is a BS belief. No, if I really believe in myself, of course, I will be able to replenish it back. So yes, I'm going. And then my life changed because I didn't in December. I ended up staying a month in, in, uh, in, uh, Mexico, met beautiful, amazing souls, met the one of the same guy, uh, two weeks, uh, two months after who is the one that introduced me for the program that I'm in right now. And I have friends that are completely amazing and it just gave me so much more abundance.Francis P: 01:15:47 And, and I, and I even went to Costa Rica and, uh, April of this year. And so there's a lot of things that I've done. And I think it would have not been possible for me without going to that event. This was one week. But the point is, is that I decided to, to believe in myself and say, no, if I know that I let's say let's pick a number, a million dollar. Why would I be afraid to spend 10 K if I know, really know that I'd be able to make a million. So one of the things that people do is that they, they look at what they're losing versus what they're going to get. And sometimes what we're going to get, we don't know exactly that's the unknown, which is why we read, or just not take that leap because I know what I'm losing, but I'm not quite sure exactly what I'm going to get.Francis P: 01:16:34 And the only person that can help you to do that is you to believe internally that it's possible because everything is created twice, once in your mind. And then outside, it's not, the phone was not created physically. And then, oh, you know, this is a phone. Now we're going to create the phone. Now the phone was created inside. Same thing with the plane, you know, they were crazy at the time, but they had the creation inside them and then it became a manifestation. So yeah, I think hopefully that's a lot of value for the listeners. Cause I mean, there's, there's a lot of different concepts that were already talked about, right?Mischa Z  : 01:17:11 Yeah, no, that's beautiful. Everything's created twice. I'm going to take that in your language. You said this a few minutes ago, but your language is a dead giveaway of your beliefs. Love that. Um, I liked what you said too about, about when you were talking about your pension and you're like, well, I, I, I, cause I can have the propensity to do that too. I'm like, well, I've got some resources if I invest it here, I'm, I'm, I'm in the, the, um, you know, the limited mindset of, of, well, I won't have it anymore versus, and I can't replenish it versus look at the, what, the opportunity that it's going to create for you. And perhaps it might not even be financial replenishment, but theFrancis P: 01:18:01 Spiritual awarenessMischa Z  : 01:18:02 Or friendships or yeah.Francis P: 01:18:05 Lifelong or a yeah. A loving relationship or whatever. I mean, I mean, I, I sold my condo in Vancouver years ago and you know, if I look at the cost of opportunity and the whole and what it's worth now, I mean, everything that I've done so far, it's probably well over a million, something of, of things that I think get like the salary that I used to have and everything, but now it's, it's like the it's, I've turned a corner and now it's being accelerated. And I know I'm going to get it 10 times that. And so being in that moment where let's say there's a span of 10 years, then you're in this mud. Yes, of course it feels like it's, it's not good, but you don't know yet until you've learned all the lessons. And I, that's why I firmly believe that I've had so many different situations that I can help so many people. And now with the documentary, which will be given to people at large. And my goal is to make a global so that, uh, we know our inner power. We can reawaken our inner power. Yeah.Mischa Z  : 01:19:09 That's great. So ignite possibilities and ignite. What was the other one that youFrancis P: 01:19:13 Were in your inner spirit,Mischa Z  : 01:19:15 Inner spirit. Um,Francis P: 01:19:18 And you know, I, and I'd love to, to give a gift for the listeners. I mean, I created like a little PDF so they can have my chapter. I can give it to you guys and they can read it. So that would be like,Mischa Z  : 01:19:32 Perfect. We could put a, like a link in the show notes where someone could download it for example, or is that, or, okay. That'd be great. Um, so you had, you'd mentioned, so the story that's, uh, where you've lost everything in effect by delaying conversations that if I heard you say this correctly, you had some fears, you were in a business relationship and you let your fears hold you back from having necessary conversations. Um, which, which, which book is that story in?Francis P: 01:20:10 Uh, this one is Ignite Posabilities, cause I called it awakening your creator within because you have this power of creation. It's really? Yeah.Mischa Z  : 01:20:19 So you, you, you had mentioned, and I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but you, you were like, yeah, I was, I was at the grocery store or talking to the cashier, how am I going to pay for this? You had some of those meals,Francis P: 01:20:33 Uh, those moments where I was just wishing that it would go through. Yeah. And when, you know, surprises where it's, you know, they say, no, it's not working. And you're like, what the, and then, because they charge interest and I was always being on time and, you know, having credit card debts and all of it. So it's, it's not, not a good vibration, definitely not a good vibration. And I had to go through that to understand that, you know, at one point you, you make a decision. You're like, no, this is not how I'm feeling. This is not my personality. Um, I'm better than that. And, uh, and that's where you start to book to work on your being. Cause the being like it's a different type of person to go to the store and the fear or the one that unconsciously truly believe that you're going to get it all back.Francis P: 01:21:19 So it doesn't matter that you're spending money because you know, you will make some money versus being in fear and just, you know, like, and, and I, and I know like you can be stuck in that for a while, but then you realize, what am I saying to myself? Do I really believe that I have all the skills and the abilities to get more than that? And if you do, then you're being as different now. You're I think out of love, you're acting out of faith. And then you know, that what you have to offer is so big. That's why, you know, as soon as you make that click of being, you can, all of a sudden, even ask for a raise or change job, cause you know, your worth and all of a sudden, boom, you make $10,000 or more because you believe in yourself.Francis P: 01:21:59 I mean, I have a friend, I think he told me that, you know, if you look at the market, he knew that it would be, he was 30% lower than what he was supposed to be paid 30%. So if it's a salary of a hundred, that's 30,000. Yeah. So imagine elevating your being to a point that, you know, your value and you're going to ask for it because of course you bring value. Of course you bring, and then by default, you're going to be rewarded for it. And so they say that there's a beautiful saying that said, you can never outperform your self image. You can never outperform your paradigm. If your paradigm, or keeping you at this level of temperature, like a thermostat, that's where you are. You're going to go a little bit above, maybe a little bit below, but you will always be on that line until you change the temperature until you change and you rewire your brain and with new beliefs, then you're going to, that's where you're going to go.Francis P: 01:22:54 And, uh, and by the way, I just want to make sure, cause then in the integrity of what I said with, uh, uh, your language is that giveaway of your belief that that's coming from my friend, Chris Doris, and he's an amazing mind demand, like the waste as it. I just loved it. So I borrowed it. So it's a crystal or it's a mental toughness coach as well, but yeah, so you can never outperform your paradigm. Yeah. So the key is really to change your paradigms and then you change all your life because your paradigms are, are driving the way you use your time, the way your, you have your relationship, the way you have your belief about money, everything. So that's fascinating. That's beautiful. We can change all that. Yeah.Mischa Z  : 01:23:33 How cool was that? I, we could keep going and going and going. Um, I think I covered most of, I would love to talk more about JB and that experience, but we can save that for round two. Um, because how cool is that, that you got to participate in that and a couple of books. And I think what's interesting there too are sort of what are the, was there a financial benefits from that? Not that there should have been. I was just my own curiosity. I'm like thatFrancis P: 01:24:03 Do a quick, quick story is that, you know, I decided to, uh, take a leap of faith. And that was again, like at the time that I owed a lot of money and uh, but I, but I, and I was also working on a visa to, to be in the United States. And so before I got the visa, I couldn't generate business in USA. It would have been illegal. So I knew that all I could do is networking or do something else. And so there was a moment where I was still in real estate and I was waiting for a deal to come through. And, uh, and then I had the idea, I'm just going to go to Peru and do this, this iowaska ceremony, the deal came out of nowhere. And then it was a chance for me to go, but it was not confirmed yet.Francis P: 01:24:40 And I was waiting for it. And I was in fear of, if it doesn't go, then I owe 6,000. I could have the six and then it doesn't cost me anything. What am I doing? And I was riveted on my screen for an hour. You know, when the car come down and all my credit card information was done, all I had to do is click, but I wasn't sure. And I'm like, oh, and then I decided to close my computer, go through the washroom or the restroom. And then in the restroom I thought, oh my God, you're doing the same thing. Like 20 years ago, we decided to go for a job for the money. You canceled your trip to go to Peru and you didn't see the metric, each shoe. Now it's available. You're using the same argument, same thing, money, money, money, money, and i thought...Francis P: 01:25:20 You know what? I want to break free of that and I'm doing it. So I reopened my computer as soon as it was out when, as there where the check-in counter thing. And I did it. And then my flight ticket was booked half an hour after boom. I got like a confirmation on the deal. So I was rewarded. So this isn't a very important thing is that we wait for things, but sometimes we just need to do this leap of faith. And we're being rewarded. I had asked her and the reward was that I went to do the plant medicine ceremony and through, and then the ceremony, I got the idea because I met JB only once, one time before. And the, the, the, what I got as an inner voice was you talk about this experience. You talk to JB and you tell her in the book and I was very unapologetic about it.Francis P: 01:26:06 I just said, Hey, JB, I'm inside your book. What's the next step? I didn't even say, can I please, I guess with that level of certainty and vibration, she said our, all right, so which one do you want? I said, which one do you have? And it was the concept that I had in, during the plant ceremony was being the Viking, you know, re like using your voice and everything. And I, so she said, well, we have the ignite, the warrior soul available. And I felt, wow, this is exactly in line with my, the Viking thing and everything. So I, and that's how, that's how it happened. And then it morphed into inner spirit, but that's all, that's all. I, I, I did it, it was just for me out of the, the, the inspiration to, to talk about the message that was really powerful and that ceremony, uh, and I think people would enjoy that one too.Francis P: 01:26:56 Maybe I can give two to two lengths and, you know, they can choose which one they want, but, um, yeah. So that's how it happened. And then, you know, since I've done one book then JB and deciding need to do another, and that's all it rolled out. So the point is by saying yes to life, by, by having faith, taking a leap of faith, it leads to different things, and it could be friendship. It could be a book, but, uh, and I've done that lately recently, two weeks ago, I decided to take it a leap of faith, go to Mexico to celebrate birthday and the amount of things that I would have missed without going there. I said, yes, to opportunity. I met new friends. It's unbelievable. So life is meant to be lifts and not, not being afraid. And so I honored Neil on that, and it was just being your true, authentic self and not let anything, or anyone sway you from your path. So obstacles, setbacks, whatever it is, we have the power to create. Yeah.Mischa Z  : 01:27:50 Yeah. It's, it's beautiful. Um, yeah, I think we've, we've covered most of the stuff. Thank you. We could go on and on about your, your experience with JB. But I think that, that, I think this is a good spot to end, uh, Francis. Um, was there anything that you wanted to add that maybe we missed orFrancis P: 01:28:11 No, I think we've covered a lot of ground and I would just say, uh, to people that, you know, believe in yourself, believe in yourself, everything is available. And if you think it's not, it's just because it's a, it's a paradigm, that's all, you can just work on it. I know I can help them in many different ways and that'd be more than an honor to help them. And, you know, just, just so they remember that they can do anything.

I’ve got to write a bio for a summit that I’ve been asked to speak on.   I write one up and don’t ask for any feedback or comments because I don’t want it to turn into a 6 month process :).  I just let it fly.  The Google also told me how to write a 3 sentence bio.Episode notes:Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitI seem to be back on track with my consistent episode recordings while I walk and at home.  The stream of consciousness channel seems to be open and vibrant.Today I want to talk about one thing or perhaps two.one a.  I once said, I will probably be on my death bed wondering what I’m supposed to do with my life.  A young 53 as I record this.  There is no doubt if I get to have gradual death.  Versus, as Barbara Karnes says, a sudden death.It’s what I’m doin right now.  What am I supposed to be doing with my life?  It’s what I’m doing right now.What am I going to do with my life.   Turns out what I’m doing right now.  Why is it supposed to be any different?I’ve been asked to speak on another summit and I’m supposed to have a bio.  This is what I came up with after a few days of avoiding…This is what I came up with.Mischa Zvegintzov, aka Mischa Z, is director of Be Love Media where he uses his irreverent personality and real life experience to create content focused on personal growth, pivoting forward, and serving the world through change.  Never scared to ask the hard questions, Mischa helps growth minded High Performers move beyond the constant worries of money and the need for relationships so that they can thrive in the 2nd half of life.Coach Vince says pick a style for your bio.  Either transparent or formal.  But not blended.I googled how to write a bio…  And came up with “how to write a 3 sentence bio”What do you do?How can you help?Your call to action.I did not forward it to anybody for review or commentary because I do not want to spend 6 months doing this.  Just let it rip, let it fly.Often times high performers do not want to admit they are not performing or that they are worried.  I am not here to convince anybody that they are anywhere other than where they are.The bio is just for one summit.  The great news is it will be out there forever, until I die.  Hey man,  you’ve just got to let it fly!  Let it go.  Embrace the messy action.  So there’s my ode to messy action.  So what I’m supposed to be doing with my life…  It’s what I’m doing right now.  If I’m going to be continuing down this path, one day at a time.  For the foreseeable future.  How do I not have it be stressful.  Start podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/2Mnba3QAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peace    See more resources at https://belove.media/resources.   Email me: [email protected]   For social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/  https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzov     Subscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Register for the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummit  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

I go through a series of questions around “The world is as I choose to see it”.  And we can chose to see the world as “Good, beautiful, magical, loving.” How do you see it?  Are you willing to see it differently?  Do you need help seeing it differently?  Do you want to see it differently.Episode notes:Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitYou know how I fond I am of “A Course In Miracles” (ACIM).  I read it everyday come hell or high-water.  I am currently in the text portion of ACIM.  I started with the workbook for students.  I was reading it this morning and I am in Chp 29, section 6, The Forgiveness and the end of time.It is the idea that when you can find forgiveness for everybody and everything, including yourself, time slips away.  On the surface it can seem flippant.  Paragraph 1 sentence 1.  “How willing are you to forgive your brother?”  And that is a great question to ask yourself.  And I encourage everybody to do that.When we say are brother that can be literally.  How willing am I to forgive my siblings?  I am extremely willing to forgive my literal brother.  Some people are not, there is tension in their family.  And we can stretch that out to friends.  And then of course it’s our enemies.  And then of course it’s anybody.How willing am I to forgive somebody.  I’m very willing.  I’m working on it.  It’s been very powerful for me the more willing I am to forgive people.  People, places, and things.Paragraph 1 sentence 5. This is the sacrifice salvation asks and gladly offers peace.  You forgive your brothers you will find peace.  Super powerful, super simple, I find it to be true.  It is so powerful when you hear people get on the news after an extreme criminal act has happened to them or their families and they offer forgiveness to the accused or perpetrator.  We can wonder of course how can they do that.  But it provides ultimate freedom.  Can I offer forgiveness to the person who cuts me off.  To the, the simple things.  I wrote down some thoughts.The world is as I choose to see it.  It is very clear that that is the case to me right now.  How do I choose to see it?  How do I choose to see the world?  Loving, beautiful, abundant, infinite?  Shiny, radiant, magical, awesome.  Full of love?  All these things.Do I need help seeing it differently?  If I can’t see it like that, do I need help seeing it differently?   Learning how to see it.  It’s such a great question.  If we could see the world like that why wouldn’t we?  Why wouldn’t you?  Why wouldn’t I?Or we can see it as dark, evil, death.  Everything comes to an end.  There’s evil.  There’s corruption.  There’s BAD people.  What if we could see it the other way?  Ignorance is bliss perhaps?  Do I need help seeing it differently?  More magical, loving, creation.  Do I need help learning how?Do I want to see it differently?  Some people don’t want to see it differently.  You could offer them a beautiful vision of forgiveness, love, freedom, hope, creation, life, expanding creation.  People are going to go “No! I do not want to see it like that.”  “I don’t!”I had this thought that we could help people see it differently.  Not that they should.  No right or wrong.  Let’s strip away all judgment.  It takes all sides of the coin and some people don’t want to see it differently.  I do! I have those moments where that alludes me.None the less.  How do I choose seeing it?  Do I need help seeing it differently.  Some days yes.  Do I need help learning how, some days yes.  And I am open to that help  I am willing to see it differently.  Ignorance may be bliss.Go get a copy of ACIM at www.belove.media/resources.  And join along!Start podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/2Mnba3QAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peace    See more resources at https://belove.media/resources.   Email me: [email protected]   For social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/  https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzov     Subscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Register for the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummit  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

Yara Golden’s has a course called Subscriber Reviver.   On this training she says part of being authentic is talking about where you have gotten help.  Where it has been a team effort.  As a my friend Earston is telling me how much he liked the summit interviews it strikes me how much my coach helped.  And I give some love to the rest of the coaches who pushed me forward.     Episode notes:Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitWhere I needed help, how I got help, and how it helped with the success of the summit.The summit success that I had is absolutely attributable to a team effort well over and about just me.The next round of training that I am going through is to help with telling an authentic story to your audience.  And I now have an audience. In the 2CCX coaching group that I’m in we have access to the “Subscriber Reviver” course via Yara Golden.  Her method is story selling.  One of the key points she brought up; part of being authentic is saying where you have gotten help or people have helped you.  Where was it a team effort?  Make sure you say where you have stumbled, where you have had help, where the team effort was part of your success.As I was listening to Yara say that in her course, I was thinking maybe I could address that a little bit more.A buddy had checked out the Summit while he was on vacation.  And he spontaneously said how much he liked the summit.  How powerful the speakers were, they were legitimate.  They weren’t hacks, how much value they brought.  He was talking about home much he really really liked it.He continued with how well I did as an interviewer, anytime he wanted to ask a question of the speaker I seemed to know and would ask that question.   He was very excited and “was not blowing smoke”…Of course take the good with the bad :). As he continued to go on about certain things I that I did during the interview.  It was very clear to me that Vince, my coach, gave me those tips.  Vince gave me those tips right before I started doing the interviews. That morning or the day before Vince said, drill down on those steps, ask about them, make it real…  “Ok I will try”.  Vince helped so much with copy.Vince, NJ, Kyle, Steve, all the coaches, Andrea Peer - my tech person, helped me so much!The point is Earston, my buddy, was shining a light on how much vince helped me.  I’m giving homage to Vince!There you go, me being vulnerable and talking about the team effort!Start podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/2Mnba3QAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peace    See more resources at https://belove.media/resources.   Email me: [email protected]   For social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzov    Subscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Register for the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummit  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

Here are the top 3 prayers that I am using right now.  The first one is for when I’m wondering what the hell am I doing with this life.  The second one is for when I’m feeling competitive and judge’e.  The third one is for whenever I think I know what is best for someone else and I’m conflicted about what to do.  Or I want to tell someone what to do.Episode notes:Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitThe top 3 prayers that I am using right now.  And that can change.  Prayers can be more or less potent.  They can effect you at different times in different ways.  Perhaps the come top of mind due to circumstances.  Or we learn new ones along the way.I’m trying to record everyday. If I record earlier in the morning it’s better.  What ever better means.  Usually I’ve meditated.  Some ACIM. ect.  Mind is crackling.  Vs recording at end of the night when I’m burnt out.  I came across this idea; If you are running out of things to say on your podcast, blog, etc.  It is because you are not being your authentic self.  And I loved that thought!Prayer #1.  This one came to me via “A Return To Love” by Marianne Williamson. There’s lot’s of good prayers in there and I’ve dog eared a lot of them.  The poignant one from there is:  “God, where would you have me go? What would you have me do?  What would you have me say and to whom?”  Providing me solace coming out of the summit.Prayer #2.  For when I get competitive or judge’e.  That competitive is poison for me.  I saw someone who had a summit very much like mine.  That started after mine.  And I was not hoping for the best for them.  And I caught myself.  I don’t want to feel this way.  “God, give everything I want for my self to __________.  Give them their health, their happiness, and their prosperity.”  And give that stuff to them before you give it to me.  Prayer #3.  “God how would me support your path for ___________?  Setting aside my own selfish wants and desires.”  Anybody who I think I know what is best for them I need to say this prayer.   For anyone who we think they need to do things differently.  Or if I’m conflicted on what I should do in many circumstances.  And then breath, and then listen, and then take action when the signs comes.  My own selfish wants and desires skew everything.  I want me kids to make me look good.  I don’t want to loose something to somebody.  Ex’s.  I get along great with my X but I say that prayer a lot if necessary.  My ego, I don’t want to loose something.  Or I’m afraid I won’t get something.  Or how am I gonna look.  How is this person gonna make me look.  I don’t want to feel stressed.  I don’t want to fell loss.  I don’t want to feel sad.  I don’t want to feel this.  Or I want to feel xxxx.  I want! I want! I want!  Or, I don’t want! I don’t want! I don’t want!  And that’s all my selfish and egocentric wants and desires.  It skews stuff.  So I can be willing to step aside from that and how powerful that is.God where would you have me go, what would you have me do, what would you have me say and to whom?  If I feel like what the hell am I doing is this life that’s a good one.“God, give everything I want for my self to __said person__.  Give them their health, their happiness, and their prosperity.”  When I feel resentful judge or what have you.“God how would me support your path for ___________?  Setting aside my own selfish wants and desires.”  So I can take heart centered action.  When I take those actions I am free of the results.Start podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/2Mnba3QAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peace    See more resources at https://belove.media/resources.   Email me: [email protected]   For social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/  https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzov     Subscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Register for the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummit  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

Now that the summit is done I’ve been tasked to work on 3 things by my coach.  And to be honest it is extremely overwhelming. 1) Take control of my calendar and schedule my next campaigns.  2) Refine my avatar and who I want to help. 3) Start creating frameworks and deliverables that I can take to my avatar. Episode notes:Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitThe purpose of this episode is to talk about next steps.  The continuation of the summit.  I got done with the summit and there is all this space. Holding space for people.  Creating space for next. Next steps now that “space” is there.  Next steps, holding space.  There is now new space.  Literally, energetically, there’s new space.  Perhaps 10 years ago if I’d have heard the term “new space” or “holding space”, I’d have been like “yeah right!”.My coach vince…  You now get to solidify, or put words on paper.  Who are you looking to help or guide?  Who do I want to help?  Get that codified, solidified on paper.  Now that I’ve asked to be on somebody else’s summit I need a concise vision of who I am looking to serve.“What an order!

After the summit is finally done I have a day to decompress and then the over whelm of next steps hit me.  Now it’s the fight to get back into the moment so I can keep the momentum going. Episode notes:Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitThe aftermath of the summit and OMG what’s next.  That is what I am going to make an attempt to talk about today.The live portion of the summit finished Friday and it’s Monday as I record this.  Worked a bunch Saturday tying up loose ends and took Sunday off for self care.  Take a day off, it was hard.  Take a day off.  The summit took up so energy and so now there is a little bit of a hole…  All of a sudden it’s done.  So there was a little emptiness.So how do I spiritually fill that hole?  I had to do some spot check meditating through out the day for sure to get back centered. The aftermath.  It’s like this big bomb wend off!  The summit bomb.  Boom!  All of a sudden there is all these next steps.  I’m definitely in a state of overwhelm projecting forward…OMG the aftermath what’s next.  Complete overwhelm.  There is getting email seqeneces to all the people who joined the summit.  You’ve got to connect with them all this work I put in.  I have no idea what I’m gonna say what I’m gonna do.There’s perhaps creating products for the bigger vision.  Ask campaigns.  It’s like putting the engine in a car.  Hand me the instruction book and if I stay in the moment and do the next indicated step you look up and the engine is in.  How do you eat an elephant?  One bite at a time.  I’m trying to get back into the moment and breath.  What’s the next indicated step. We are trying to get our message out. I want answers.  I want to know what next year looks like.  I want to know what one year down the line looks like.  I want to know that my time invested is going to be worth while in the way that I want it to be.  I want to know the shiny object that I’m hoping for is waiting for me.  All this egoic stuff.  All these fears.  All the financial insecurity that was hiding in the summit is flashing back at me.So I get to work to get back in the moment with all the tips tricks and tools.  So many of which were talked about on the summit.So yeah, the after math of the summit.  Breath, take it easy.  Next indicated step. I don’t need to be farther along then I am.  That’s one big thing that’s gripping me from moment to moment.  OMG I’m behind in the process.  Things need to be bigger than they are. I need to be farther along.  I need to know answers to many things that I don’t know answers to.  So come back to the moment, do the next indicated step.  Send the thank you's to the speakers.  Do the debrief with the who.Watch the next instructional video.  How to get in front of an audience of 100,000 people and how to do that every day.I as I was leaving the house to go on a walk, the intuition was grab the microphone and record, even though it might not be shiny, well thought out, etc.  I get to keep producing episodes one day at a time…  etc…  etc…  and hopefully be of service :).  Trust in god that this is of service.Start podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/2Mnba3QAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peace    See more resources at https://belove.media/resources.   Email me: [email protected]   For social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzov    Subscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Register for the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummit  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

Amazon best selling author Damien Culhane and I cover all the basses.  Male eating disorders, Brexit, and intuition.  Becoming awake/waking up, co-creating with the universe and more :).  His greatest bitch slap moment is in 2005 when his son was diagnosed with MS (Muscular Dystrophy).  It is the catalyst for massive change.  There are so many powerful nuggets in our conversation you should give a listen!Episode notes:Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitFind Damion Culhane and his best selling books here:Ignite Your Life for Conscious Leaders: Elevating and Transforming the Way We Lead Ourselves and Others in a New and Conscious Way https://smile.amazon.com/dp/1792306687/ref=cm\\\_sw\\\_em\\\_r\\\_mt\\\_dp\\\_C8QKE7T350Q3M890N1A1Ignite Your Life for Men: Thirty-five outstanding stories by men who are supporting other men to become the powerfully- enlightened, courageously-awakened, conscious role models they were born to be https://www.amazon.com/dp/1792306679/ref=cm\\\_sw\\\_em\\\_r\\\_mt\\\_dp\\\_TBHPA0F3TYMFP3CA9Q16Ignite Your Adventurous Spirit: Inspiring travel stories by individuals whose lives have been deeply transformed https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083LGWY6K/ref=cm\\\_sw\\\_em\\\_r\\\_mt\\\_dp\\\_GCD776WNPQ9M8TM8MT8Dwww.Damianculhane.co.ukHis podcast the Self Sabotage show.  https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-self-sabotage-show-with-damian-culhane/id1538003861Regarding bitch slaps from the universe…  And noticing things that he hadn’t noticed before.  The first one when he was completely asleep to all of this, when he was a kid, something wasn’t right and something was up at a family gathering.  He was 7 years old and aware that his father wasn’t there.  His parents were divorced and he didn’t have the maturity to talk about it.When that event happened and it went by unnoticed. It created a tension, a universal tension and I was able to mask that by over eating…  His first example of when he was over eating and binge eating even at that young age.  As an ego centric 7 year old.I ignored that one and it caused me a significant amount of emotional suffering and psychological harm that perhaps if I’d have paid attention may never had existed.So he his binge eating disorder starts at that age.  An air of secrecy and a whole load of stuff mixed up in that.He did not get to the point of bulimia or anorexia which seem to be a whole another level.  The binge eating was absolutely like an addiction for him.  It turns into other addictions.    Damian and I meet through JB Owen.   Damien meets her at a 2019 event “Mind Valley University” in Pula Croatia.  Probably about 1000 people there.  Best selling authors…  (Btw Damien lives in Italy).We get on Brexit.  Which is perhaps a conspiracy he says.  His decision to move to Italy was based on his ability to be able to continue to move about freely through Europe post Brexit.The way that Brexit was posed by both sides…  There was a lot of mis information.  “Take back control” was some of the propaganda he believes.   He likes the melting pot of Great Britton.  The richness of it.  Brexit is taking that away.  It was pitched as a utopia and is more of the government ceasing control of their agenda and the people.  It’s about control of peoples behavior.  What they can and can’t do.  Re lock down.  How to wash your hands for example.  So reliant on the government telling us what to do.  So many businesses in the UK hang on every word of the prime minister and that is not a great place to be.  The main stream media.  Gov policy.  etc.  That’s not always the best thing for the people but perhaps just the best for a few.  Not necessarily the best thing for the nation.People will agree and disagree and that’s ok.Money has been given to VIP organizations and companies aligned with the ruling party.  Defective equipment, little oversight, little audit.  Brexit has affected food distribution to the negative into Great Britton.  Tapping into that higher source or intuition.  AKA “awake”, my own impact on the world.  As soon as you are awake, and out of the matrix…  You can stand back and see what’s going on…  Maybe there’s something more to life than what is being offered by the government and and the mainstream media.The people who have the biggest influence in the media, politics, and in finances are almost becoming drunk on their own power.  They are blasé about it, to the point where they are doing it anyway.  People are waking up and saying “wait a minute”.  Now he’s an international bestseller thanks to his working with JB Owen and contributing to her books.Some of the organizations I work with are involved in that market place.  I’ve got to the point now where if they don’l like my view point…  That’s ok.  Two or three years ago I wouldn’t have been like that.  I would have been much more worried about what people think.What became obvious to me was my vision.  Two or three years ago…  The purpose for my suffering and why it happens.  I want to help others heal from their suffering. The suffering was there for a reason.  I had to experience it, I had to get through it, I had to work out how to overcome it.  And now my role in life, my vision, is to help others heal their suffering.  I do that through helping them understand where they sabotage their life, where self sabotage shows up in their life, why that exists, what they can do about it, how they can overcome it, and not be defined by their past, and create a future they love.Men, generally are not aware of their emotions or how they can deal with it or the impact it has had on them.  Women are much more tuned into somethings not right and I need to get to the bottom of it.The Ignite series is a very powerful series of books.  Ignite Your Life For Men which was the first book I contributed to.  And also Ignite Your Life For Adventurous Spirit.  And there is “Ignite Your Life For Conscious Leaders.The process of working with JB and her Ignite team of editors has helped me to really clarify my writing and make it more engaging and interesting for the reader.Lifestyle is more important to me instead of accolades and status.JB was the catalyst for taking his writing to the next level.  His biggest break through was a few years before…  Sabotage ect.  JB helped him articulate that to help other people.When I was younger I loved material things and I liked to have nice cars and gadgets and things.  And so when I was younger I was much more interested in that and led by those choices.  If it meant I could change jobs and get a better car with better salary I’d have done that through my carrier.  I guess I would have put that down to ambition and striving for something more than I had.
Now the focus is much more around relationships are much more important, the ability to be able to travel and hang out with people on a similar vibration.  I would rather create opportunities to walk on my favorite beach rather than being the number one coach in the UK.  That’s not even in my field of vision.Do you have 12 step stuff in your life to transcend your addictions and compulsions?  His great aunt in Ireland, was one of the founding members of AA in Ireland.  But I have never been through the 12 steps.  (It sounds like he’d call them addiction light.)The turning point for him: In 2005 his younger son was diagnosed with a life limiting condition.  “And that was truly truly a bitch slap moment you would never want anyone to experience”.  I was being strong resilient and emotionally strong but on the inside I was crumbling I was crushed.  And the addictions became worse at that point.  I was making really poor choices.  It worsened when I separated from my ex wife now.  In the end I became so addicted to my own negative emotions…  etc etc.  Anger, sadness, fear.  I got to the point where I was addicted to that.  I was effectively long term sadness was a big impact for me.  It took me a few years to get beyond that.  Recover and heal my suffering.  12 steps my have helped accelerate that.  And the opportunity to develop a relationship with a higher power.But he does that anyway.  Higher powers, gratitude, the abundance of the universe.  When I first go this and I was awakened and got a different perspective.  At first I was setting about trying to convince others and it became obvious that you cannot wake people up if they are not ready for it.Look there is  this whole world of possibility around love, around abundance, around creativity, around what you want to create in the world… there is an abundance of everything you need.  You can tell people about that but you can force people to want it or have it they have to choose it.  I love it that it is an active choice that people have to make.A mentor tells him, 90% of the people that are completely asleep to their possibility of what they could create or what their potential is.  There’s about 9% that are awakened to it but haven’t achieved it yet.  And there’s 1% of people that actually step through go into threshold and create what they love.  Tapping into that 1% of people…is a joy to experience and watch and see people do that.“I’d say I’m in the 9% definitely” “Occasionally in some areas of my life I’m definitely in the 1%”.  Moving counties was definitely and intuitive choice.Some cryptocurrency shenanigans…Astrology wise - He’s got people who are tapped into that and use the astrologies rhythms and planets to tap into their intuition.His 5 year go mentor?  Ryan Pinnick.  A South African guy based in the UK. His choices with addictions resonated with Damien.  Damien was all in with Ryan.  He has been very good at helping Damien heal from his suffering.  Ryan is gifted at teaching you how to tap into your own intuition.His son has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.The coincidences of seeing a few bricked up windows…  What’s the universe trying to tell me?   A vision of healing suffering?  What was obvious was…I couldn’t see beyond what was in front of me to see my vision.  These messages are coming through all the time, everyday, you just have to be present.  You can tap into amazing choices, opportunities.  A cool mediation.  Go in with innocence, ego stripped away.  What am I to create?Breathing techniques.  You go into a different state.  You change your state of consciousness  as a result of your breathing.  Suss out some topics, make choices from those ego free topics.  And what you can do to honor that.  Are you still focused on the vision you want to create?  In my relationship “I choose a beautiful loving relationship where are hearts touch together to create magic.”  If I’m in the relationship from that choice you can’t do it from anger.The scientists, what are they trying to do?  Well, they have a true belief that they have the ability to cure incurable diseases.  They work inside structures that suppress that.   Lots of red tape.  When you look at the purpose of a biopharmaceutical company…is to create customers for its product.”Scientists are incredibly intellectual and incredibly clever.  In some respects that’s probably their biggest barrier. Getting out of their brain and into their heart that they would love.Perhaps bridging eastern and western medicine is a worthy utopia to head for.Just because your inelegant does not mean you can tap into your intuition.  A great thought.Albert Einstein talking about shifting your level of conciseness back in the 1930’s.Steps to tap into intuition - Starting points are always to get out of the head and into the heart and one of the quickest ways to do that is to get into nature.  Remove your shoes and socks and walk barefoot on the grass or the sand.Book recommendation: The Kybalion.  It’s a great way to tap into what’s possible for the universe.  There’s some principles of the universe almost.  Hermetic/Hermes.  Hermetic Philosophy.  Listen to it on YouTube.  It’s quite a complex piece of work but it is worth it.The big point from the Kybalion from him.  “The all is mind.  And the universe is mental held in the mind of the all.”What could people do if they were on stage one of their wake up?  I would love to share some more things around that.Understanding your uniqueness in the world is very very important.  Your odds of being born are ridiculous.  We can get trapped in this rat race in this matrix.  Waking up from that…Get out in nature.Tap into what are your talents and what are you really really good at they have fun and pleasure doing it.  Then you can have fun and make money doing that…Ikigai - Japanese - What are you here to do, what is your purpose.  We can see things from a different perspectives.  Alan Watts was genius at this, bringing eastern philosophies to the west.There is ancient wisdom that is there, all we need to do is remember it.  Don’t be attached to your own identity, be prepared to strip yourself down to the bear nothing…  Psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, to then really start to layer on who am I and what am I here to create in the world.  And that’s a beautiful thing if more people could understand that journey and be on the journey that is a rewarding place to be.Nature is very powerful at creating things, maintaining things, and destroying things.  What are we here to create and what are the things that we need to destroy and leave behind.  It is around you you’ve just got to pay attention to it.He encourages you to check out anything by Joe Dispenza!Find Damion Culhane herewww.Damianculhane.co.ukHis podcast the Self Sabotage show.  https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-self-sabotage-show-with-damian-culhane/id1538003861Ignite Your Life for Conscious Leaders: Elevating and Transforming the Way We Lead Ourselves and Others in a New and Conscious Way https://smile.amazon.com/dp/1792306687/ref=cm\_sw\_em\_r\_mt\_dp\_C8QKE7T350Q3M890N1A1Ignite Your Life for Men: Thirty-five outstanding stories by men who are supporting other men to become the powerfully- enlightened, courageously-awakened, conscious role models they were born to be https://www.amazon.com/dp/1792306679/ref=cm\_sw\_em\_r\_mt\_dp\_TBHPA0F3TYMFP3CA9Q16Ignite Your Adventurous Spirit: Inspiring travel stories by individuals whose lives have been deeply transformed https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083LGWY6K/ref=cm\_sw\_em\_r\_mt\_dp\_GCD776WNPQ9M8TM8MT8DThe book he’s working on How To Pivot Your Mindset Post Lockdown.Start podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/2Mnba3QAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peace    See more resources at https://belove.media/resources.   Email me: [email protected]   For social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/  https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzov     Subscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Register for the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummit  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

I reflect on the two of things I’ve learned since starting the summit two and a half months ago: iMovie and how to post from a Google drive onto the social media.  And also how I have already have gotten to take my limited summit experience and use it to be of service!   Episode notes:Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitTwo things I am going to talk about on this episode.Things I could not do before the summit and things that I can do now (There are at least two)How I got to be of service.  I got to take my current summit experience and help somebody else who is going live with there summit the same days as mine.  I had something to offer them and help them.Sorry to yawn at you.  I’m getting close to the official summit being live.  It is the final push.  It’s two days away.  Sleepless nights. (When I recorded this the Tools For A Good Life Summit was just about to go live.) The first thing that I could not do that I can do now.  iMovie - 10 weeks ago when I committed to producing the summit I needed to edit the summit interviews.  Or pay someone to edit the summit interviews.  I decided to do it myself.  And I had zero experience with iMovie.The first time I opened iMovie I almost lost it and it was almost the end of it all.  Sorry Apple, I hate to say it, but iMovie is not intuitive at all.  With a little bit of fortitude, wherewithal and trying…  Fast forward to now where all the videos are edited with intros, outros, seamless transitions…  It’s really fun and making all of that work.  And actually getting fun commentary in that regard.  Your transitions are awesome, your editing is cool, it’s a lot of fun.  That’s the feedback I got. That is just  amazing to me.  I’ve really been reflecting on that fact that “Oh my goodness, two and a half months ago iMovie was the bane of my existence and now it’s a tool for fun”.  So supper cool.My registration page video I needed to change something about a week after it was already on the registration page.  So I had to find my same shirt, make sure my hair the same messy.  Having it look unruly is not the challenge.  Having it look unruly in the right way could be challenge.  I had to have the camera at the right angle, the lighting, all of this.  I reshot, spliced it in and it came out great.The next thing is the Instagram and the Face book.  How long have these things been around 20 years by now.  In a lot of ways I’m way behind the curve.I’ve been needing to market the summit, specifically this is about the instagram.  I was needing to access the promo center that I made and pull down the imagery to make the post…  And suffice it to say it was a challenge.  The first time I tried it it was a “Challenge” and I wanted to throw the phone across the room.  Now it is easy.  It is all linked up and it is pretty awesome.I had somebody go to the “Link in my Bio” and register.  Oh My Gosh so it worked.  And it’s like the lightbulbs just went off in my mind.  Mind blown.  I start to see the broader vision, the bigger picture.The whole can of worms is open.I got to help someone.  I have a ton of sales experience.  Follow up Follow up Follow up and how to communicate with people you are trying to work with.  I have managed to drive some registrations to the registration page via the speakers. A person in the coaching group I was in has a summit going live same time as mine.  She was focusing on adds to drive registrations vs speakers promoting.  So she was asking me how was I getting registrations and how can I do this.  I was able to give her all the texts that I was sending to the speakers and to my sphere of influence to encourage people to promote and register.  Along with some email templates.  So that felt real good.  It just felt really good to be able to help like that.  “Here’s what I created, it’s yours to use”.  That felt really good.  She was so excited! To use what I made…  To be able to give back like that and encourage somebody and give them a little hope… Being of service is a big part of why I do the things I do.  I’m hoping to be helpful.  To be so new at the summit thing and then have my limited summit experience be able to help somebody felt real good.Things I’ve learned in the 2.5 months since I started the summit.  1) iMovie 2) How to post from a Google drive onto the social media.I was able to help somebody with their summit marketing. Start podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/2Mnba3QAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peace    See more resources at https://belove.media/resources.   Email me: [email protected]   For social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzov    Subscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Register for the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummit  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

I am going back and forth with one of my main summit speakers about the nature of some of my content.  If I get creative and make some changes he will continue to promote.  If I remain stubborn and leave it as is he will step back.  His excitement to work with me and for the summits success inspire me to change.  I think the real word is surrender.Episode notes:Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitLast we heard I was in the midst of going back and forth with Craig Weiner and will he continue to promote.  And I had just started to learn iMovie and iMovie is a burly burly beast.So I was in discussions with Craig and I could just edit the intro to the summit registration video…  Change it to “I’m the creator of Be Love Media” vs “I’m the creator of the Bitch Slap podcast”.Craig was so excited for me to make these changes…  And then I got a little stubborn.  I was pinging back and forth between stand my ground and make the change.  But then it hit me, I am the creator and director of Be Love Media and with in that is the Podcast and the Summit.  So as far as a bigger picture move and what I’m doing ‘I love it”. But my stubborn side was like “hold your ground”.So in stead of doing anything I decided to just not decide for a day or two…  And then all of a sudden Craig emails me and says “are you going to make the changes” I’m excited to get you on the news letter today, but I could wait until Wednesday…  He was so excited and wanting us to have success, so I capitulated!  And committed to make the changes…So I had to re shoot the intro to the video, find the outfit, the light, my hair, the scene, the look, lol!  And the camera was at the wrong hight so I had to reshot again…  and the clock was ticking.  And I got it all done by the very last second and meet his deadline.I was willing to put my ego aside, capitulate and make the changes…  The definition of Capitulate: Cease to resist an opponent or an unwelcome demand; surrender. The final copy “Hi, my name is Mischa Z and I am the creator and director of Be Love Media where we create content focusing on personal growth, transcending life's rough patches, and serving our world through change.”Start podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/2Mnba3QAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peace    See more resources at https://belove.media/resources.   Email me: [email protected]   For social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzov    Subscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Register for the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummit  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

A Course In Miracles is talking about the idea that Pain And Pleasure are both illusions and unreal.  Ironically I get to take some negative commentary and some minor successes and put those ideas to the test.Episode notes:Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitA Course In Miracles (ACIM) and pain and pleasure are equally unreal.  They are both illusory and they are both the same.  ACIM had been hammering home for months that pain is not real.  It’s just playing god.  Our ego’s being out of control. It’s all in my perspective in the moment.  For me as I’m closer to source, if I’m feeling that in the moment purity that illusion of pain goes away.We can talk about physical pain.  The idea that we are going to all die.  The way that we relate to this world, this existence, our bodies are no longer going to be of use on the planet…And by the way, pleasure is just as unreal.  Pain and Pleasure are equally unreal.  Just to drive this home.  There is a guy, who in front of lots of people, says “it looks like a poodle is fucking your head.”  Kind of aggressive but you’ve got to be able to laugh at yourself…So then I go out on this boat trip, some pictures are taken, I’m in the background, someone who is not on the boat trip, sees a picture and says “Who brought the poodle?”   What I wanted to reply was, “you must have got your ass kicked a lot in high school…” but I didn’t lol.And then what I was going to reply was, “Steve brought the poodle”.  Because I car pooled with Steve, which I thought was rather witty :).As this is flying around in my head I’m like “I’ve got to let this go.”  And then the idea struck me that this pain and pleasure is equally unreal.  So I give a quick resentment prayer to this dude…  And then I’m like wait a minute Mischa, I like when people say, “Oh, you're so insightful”,  or “your hair looks great”, or “You look like Robert Plant.”  That’s the pleasure piece.  The good with the bad.  This is such an opportunity on a nuanced level to take the good with the bad.To not let a negative comment create operation from source.  Just like if I get positive commentary not let that affect me in the same way.  Not let either go to my head and affect me.So ironic on the day ACIM is like Pain and Pleasure are equally unreal, I get the opportunity to pay attention even more to the positive commentary. I need to be prepared and let the negative commentary flow through as I need to be prepared to let the success flow through. 1000 people register for the summit I get to let that go.  10000 people register for the summit I get to let that go.I notice as I check compulsively the registrations.  If there’s lots of new ones don’t take it personally, if there’s no new registrations don’t take that personally.  Or even better how about just don’t check compulsively. Start podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/2Mnba3QAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peace    See more resources at https://belove.media/resources.   Email me: [email protected]   For social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzov    Subscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Register for the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummit  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

I really enjoyed my interview with Philadelphia policeman Curtis Ghee.  So much so that I run through all the highlights here and how it inspired me.  It also gave me a kick that he liked some of my podcast episodes.  Episode notes:Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitI am fully on the walking and recording train again and loving it.  I was all about it for the first 3, 4, or 5 months.  Then they were all from the desk.  But I’m all in on it again and it’s so fun!I have not taken singing lessons yet.How fun was my interview with Curtis Ghee, listen here:  Interview #33 Philly policeman Curtis Ghee: Cops, Robbers, and your God given destiny.I really enjoyed it.  My first 30 minutes of it were very disjointed, it felt like it was disjointed and off track, I had all these questions, the way I wanted it to go (but I went ahead and edited it out…).  And I finally I was like “You know what Curtis, you are up to all this amazing stuff, tell me about it!” and then it erupted from there :).  I really enjoyed it and it flowed…  I was in awe and aghast sometimes.  He is a black policeman from Philadelphia and has been on the force for 29 years or so.  And he was on the streets, patrolled the streets for a good 10 years, of the gnarliest parts of Philadelphia.  He’s got perspective, stories, awareness…  He’s got this massive heart clearly.  He wants to help young people in his community to find God inspired action or purpose.  (Said in a non dogmatic way).He does a huge amount of work in facilitating that and he’s out there changing lives.  We got to talk racism, black white perspective.  Black cops white cops.  Black criminals white criminals.  He’s got a couple books coming out.  He has a really cool program to help prisoners and “normal” people…  There’s the literal prison of being behind bars and the prison of your mind.And he helps police officers and families and the trauma that helps with the job.  And when he was talking about police officers as human begins and being human beings like you and me…  There was this moment that was so profound, I started to cry.  I felt the humanity for that.In the conversation that is on the podcast…  This is the analogy he used.  If someone is cooking at MacDonalds and they mess up your fires and they make a mistake, they just make you another batch of fries.  But in the police officer world, if they make a mistake sometimes lives are on the line.  And how brutal and heavy that can be.God bless you Curtis.  You are the real deal.  He is about helping community and people.  He had so many bombs and nuggets.  He’s got such a big heart, but when he’s talking about roughing people up on the streets because that’s part of the job.  OMG so amazing.Go back and listen to it.  Here’s the link:  Interview #33 Philly policeman Curtis Ghee: Cops, Robbers, and your God given destiny. He was referencing how he was listening to the episodes and how the do the dishes for god episode…  He really loved that.  You can listen to that one here: “Do the dishes for God”Start podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/2Mnba3QAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peace    See more resources at https://belove.media/resources.   Email me: [email protected]   For social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/  https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzov     Subscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Register for the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummit  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

Updated title: John Abate and a miracle of forgiveness.  My friend John Abate and I are both changing.  We are learning how to slow down, hold our tongues, and find peace.  Me, I had to go through a divorce and a couple other things.  John, well…he almost gets killed while riding his bike.  There’s broken bones, fused vertebrae, and the miracle of forgiveness.  Don’t be afraid to listen for the rest!  Episode notes:Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitYou can find John Abate and his 8 week MBSR class here: www.mindfulfoundations.orgWe worked together in the mortgage industry 10-15 years ago. I was his boss!It was high stress. The game of it. We were hunters. Type A.  Firing away. Sales.We were trying to be helpful and find people where it made sense. He started working with me 2008…. After the melt down.We are different people today. They wouldn’t let us in the door w the hair we have today.It has been a steady progression of him slowing down.John is an avid cyclist.  He started racing around 07 and it was his cathartic outlet.  Him needing a release.  He did his first bike race in 2007.  With the Swamis cycling club in Encinitas. Their tag line “The gurus of cycling” lol.  Racing road cycling fuels our personality types.  The A types. Highly competitive.  It fed that for him.He gets hit by a car August 2016. Heading out for his 89 mile Sunday ride.  Him and his friend.  Just leaving, a half mile from his house.  He’s mid sentence with his friend when WHAM.He wakes up 3 days later in the hospital.  And he is beat up.   Compound fractures, broken back, et all.Kelly, his riding partner, they are still good friends.The rub.  It was a hit and run accident. They have never found the driver. This is where the story that’s interesting.  Forgiveness.And it’s the start of his most recent transformation.  He was gifted with forgiveness quickly.  “I don’t know where it came from”.His sobriety community is rallying around him. On day 3 in the hospital I asked everybody to join hands and just pray for the driver. “Please I need to do this.” That the driver is not suffering and to help me forgive him.It turned out to be one of the most beautiful moments that I have experienced. And certainly other people that were there would attest to it.I needed this to start healing man. Because I had a lot to go through (moving forward).Did that actually help anybody.  It truly helped some of those men.That hospital room is a beacon of light. It was really cool.Now John teaches mindful based stress reduction (MBSR) classes.Now the swamis guru bike club has new meaning.Getting sober had started his spiritual practice.  Playing w meditation etc.  The accident introduced him to MBSR as a modality to heal himself from the accident.He literally can’t move due to the casts, traction etc.  John is devouring books.  And stumbles accoss MBSR as a modality of healing not only the body but the mind.  For people that have suffered traumatic injury.  I wanted an alternative way to heal along w western medicine.  Physical therapy and all that. I wanted to heal w o staying on the medication. And I wanted to be w my experience.I had a lot of questions.  What happens to the driver?  Will I ever br able to ride again?  What’s going to happen w my body.  MBSR helped me sort though that.“Good thing you were sober and hadn’t pushed everyone away still!”And there’s the company JoJa Bars. Which he had just started when he had accidentMBSR didn’t free him from pain.  It helps him deal w it. Survive the PT the doctors appointments. The attachment of pain.  The fears of what’s next.  I overcame some serious obstacles. It was the touchstone moment from his accident.  It gave me the opportunity to see If I put my mind right I can do almost anything.  That was the shift for me.I ended up taking the 8 week MBSR course at UCSD.  Which is the flagship university we’re all day teacher training and etc. happens. UCSD Add university of Massachusetts.  They are the center for where a lot of this comes from.It affirmed everything I was learning on my own.  It gave me the tools to heal.  It helped bring me back to 100%. I was happy content and at peace.  Forgiveness and compassion.A working definition of Mindfulness as defined by the courses that I teach. Founded by Jon Kabat-Zinn. (Some history of MBSR).  “Mindfulness is when we are able to pay close attention on purpose, without judgment.”There is no striving to be perfect. There is no striving to be right. It’s just looking at. Paying close attention.“You find a creative way of responding, if it’s even needed”His next 5 or 10 minutes are awesome!  An explication of mindfulness in action.  There is a lot of flow in bicycle racing.I’m just trying to explore the recesses of the mind. What makes thoughts tick?  How do those come up?  Consciousness is a wonderful thing to delve into.The by product of that is how we treat others people.  It gives me pause which is what I need.  I need pause!  This mouth runs fast when I allow it to.Now John is actively teaching MBSR. Teaching what he learned.  An 8 week course.  If you would like some new tools to heal your body and your mind you can find John Abate here: www.mindfulfoundations.org“I just get to keep learning man!”Start podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/2Mnba3QAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peace    See more resources at https://belove.media/resources.   Email me: [email protected]   For social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/  https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzov     Subscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Register for the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummit  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

As I contemplate singing lessons I’m remember how I was told when I was young that I can’t sing.  And was often asked to stop.  Which makes me wonder do I have doubts about the sound of my voice.  Both literally and figuratively.   And then there’s one of my mommy issues…Episode notes:Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitAs people keep referencing Robert Plant, Robert Daltry, Brian May I’ve got it in my head that I should learn how to sing.   Sing the blues.  I’ve always wanted to sing the blues.  Play the Geetar and sing the blues.  Man I should go see if could take singing lessons.There is a route where I walk in the mornings where there is a place where they teach music lessons.  I went so far as to walk by it and see if they teach singing lessons.  But to no avail.I have an old memory from back in the day.  I had an old Walkman.  Back in 7th, 8th, 9th grade…   I would listen to my music and I would sing.  And my good friend Sam Day did not like my singing and would ask me to stop because he did not like my singing.  My father used to ask me, Father: “what did you do with the money?”  Young Mischa: “What money?”  Father: “The money that I gave you for singing lessons.”  Cause I guess I can’t sing it turns out.Can I put all that aside?  It’s such an interesting thing these ideas that get planted in our head.  Perhaps I’ve been worried about my voice my whole life?  Both literally and figuratively.  I have been insecure about the sound of my voice for many years.  I got into cold calling and I got over it.  I was told to practice and listen to yourself.Also figuratively. It can be like my ideas don’t matter.  My ideas don’t hold value.  My thoughts aren’t worthy.  Perhaps there’s nooks and crannies where that idea has still taken hold.  I think it’s kind of a cool concept as I talk about it.I should probably go take singing lessons it would be so good for me on so many levels.I’ve always had a thing for cute moms.  Even in my youth.  And still to this day.  I wonder if it’s because my mother was gone for much my childhood.  And I wonder if that’s what’s so alluring to me, that mother child relationship that I still subconsciously crave. I believe I’ve transcended many of my voice issues.  Definitely literally as I will jump on a microphone and a video.  I even finally sang karaoke 3 or 4 years ago.  I thought there was no way I’d ever be able to sing Karaoke.   Kind of like dancing durning a wedding.  I’m not happy about it but I’ll do it :).I do get fun feedback that I’ve got a good podcast voice.  So that’s kind of fun.No figuratively…Definitely refining or searching or find that voice I feel like.  I’m having fun exploring it and going for it.  Just grab the mic go and start talking.  You have no audience anyway.  You literally have nothing to loose.  Other than blowing up whatever massive or meager audience you have and then dying a slow painful death of humiliation.  But other than that not much to worry about.Start podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/2Mnba3QAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peace    See more resources at https://belove.media/resources.   Email me: [email protected]   For social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzov    Subscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Register for the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummit  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

As I was coming out of the summit build and opening registration I thought that all the work was done…that I was going to be able to chill but it turns out I just opened up a whole new can of worms…  And it’s funny as we grow and change some of our friends may not like it. Episode notes:Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitThe hair keeps growing… I thought the launch was gonna solve all my problems…it just opened up a new can of worms.  I thought the summit launch was gonna free me up and free my mind and release me from the tiredness, the exhaustion, the stress.  I just opened up a new can of works.  I am so burnt and tired as I record that at 10:45 in the evening.Today was day two of registrations.  Midway through the day I checked the registrations and there were 4 or 5 or 6 and no-one had bought the upsell…  emails were going into the spam email boxes.  And it was so anti climactic.  REGISTER NOW.There is a thing called an order bump over and above the VIP All Access Pass, and if someone takes that there is an order bump on top of that for $7.  Which includes a summit workbook.  (Spoiler alert…  I got rid of the order bump). Creating the order bump was gonna be a ridiculous amount of work and no one had bought the order bump yet so I said no way, and got rid of the order bump.Now I’ve got all this promoting to do.  Repurposing the interviews and such, honestly I just want to go on vacation.  God bless you, go to the summit people!As you are breaking free don’t expect them to cheer you on from your cages.  When you are trying to grow and make changes some of your friends may be like “don’t do that it’s lame” etc.Good thing that guys suffering so I can help him.  When we have an opportunity to help someone and be of service it makes us feel better…  This is what happens to you when you are burned out from putting together a summit.Start podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/2Mnba3QAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peace    See more resources at https://belove.media/resources.   Email me: [email protected]   For social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/  https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzov     Subscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Register for the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummit  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

I was walking and taking notes on the summit, making a “to do” checklist before launch…  So I thought why not record it and make it an episode. Episode notes:Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitWalking and recording today…  As I was leaving the house I was like grab the Shure MV88…  I was sure that all this inspiration was going to flow through and I would record like 5 episodes; and that was not the case.  Nothing was coming actually.I’m walking on the beach (hence the background white noise), no music, no podcasts, no content.  Not listening to anything.  Really just focusing on breath and letting thoughts flow through.  Letting thoughts flow through is such an illusive concepts.  What’s the difference between letting a thought flow through and not letting a thought flow through.  It is really such an illusive concept.All of a sudden I was inspired to do a checklist for the summit so I thought it would be fun to do an episode on the to do list.Of course The Apple wrote it down as “two dues”… Two things that are due lol.  Siri definitely did not write “to do’s”…Verify all speaker email addresses are correct in the CRM (Active Campaign)Dawson Church and I had a great interview.  He is a force of positivity.  And he has 1000’s of hours of science and research behind him.  He was no strings attached…  But I’m going to put him on the email list.Verify Christine Bradstreet and Andrew Schultz emailsFinish the Email body copy of the emails going to speakers and registrants.  Within that are 6 or 7 of the thoughts and tools that the speakers had said.  Christine Bradstreet had one of “How to salvage a relationship in an instant”.  And find the timestamp and get it into the bullet points of the email.Trust my instincts of putting the part of the interview that is before “THE QUESTION” of the interview on the podcast.  There is a question that I ask every speaker, but we go through a little fun facts before we get to the question… An idea!  I could, on the pre interview post, put “hey, when you register for free, and keep listening, this is when and the nugget you will hear”.  Trust my instincts. Register for the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/2Mnba3QAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peace    See more resources at https://belove.media/resources.   Email me: [email protected]   For social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzov    Subscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

By the time of this episode the bulk of the work has been completed for the Tools For The Good Life Summit.  The registration page, copy, membership area, affiliate area all done.  Now just time to promote.  And there is a definite calm about my psyche.  Also - I get some ego gratifying comments about my podcast; it is actually helping people!  And that feels good.Episode notes:Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitFinal push to open registration for the summit.  20 speakers good to go.  1 more speaker to interview.  The other 19 completed edited and uploaded.  Copy good enough for registration.  Email sequences getting dialed in.  Now it just work with the other speakers to promote.By the time this is out you can go to the Summit as it is in “evergreen” mode.  Go to ToolsForAGoodLifeSummit.com and register.  You can watch 3 days of amazing interviews as it’s evergreen!  As it is registration goes live this Monday 2 days and then 2.5 weeks to promote the actual summit which is Aug 4th-6th!  (Now it is in evergreen mode!)The point of this episode… A huge amount of the heavy lifting the big bulk of the work, DONE.  And I can’t believe it.  Andrea, my who, who is handling the tech, the registration page, the membership page, the affiliate site…  we did a punch list today and it’s going down.  In a good way :). It’s been a while since I had a project that I put a lot of work into and then you go live.  I would relate it to some of the Lead Gen Campaigns that I did in mortgage.  Big data searches, refine the list, work on the flier, get your database get set up so when the calls come in it links to your database…   There’s the point where you’ve done all the work and then you start dropping the fliers in the mail…So now I’ve done all the upfront work and now the emails will start going out hopefully from the other speakers…   Then the social media posts start going down.  We get to see if people are actually registering.  Then we get to see if people are purchasing the upsell. Definitely shifting phases and it has brought a calm about.OMG all the back log of my recorded episodes are getting published and I have not been recording new ones nearly as ofter.  I built up quite the back log.  I better re get back in the habit of recording episodes.  Re make sure I can talk to the public.Another cool thing that happened is I’ve been getting fun feedback on the podcast…  Randomly I will get texts from people pointing out quotes.  It’s compelling enough for them to reach out to me.There is one person who said, “I’ve listened to these specific episodes and they’ve really helped me”.  How cool is that.  As a fledgling podcaster it can seem like this stuff is just going into the void.  Egoicly, it is fun to get some feedback… one is the “and I love that”.“And I love that.”  Say that about the thoughts that go through that are disrupting you…  “I’m scared if people are going to register for the summit… And I love that.”  “I know no one is going to register, and I love that.”  “that shouldn’t bother me… and I love that”.  Whatever, insert here, and I love that.  You can step back a couple layers with that.  It’s a power powerful tool.  (Thank you Kyle Cease). And the other is, how powerful it is to follow instructions.  The next thing you know you’ve put an engine in a car.The person who listened to these was saying in many areas he’s good at following instructions but I see that in many areas I’m piss poor and following instructions and if I don’t change I’m gonna die!  Flair for the dramatic…Register for the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/2Mnba3QAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peace    See more resources at https://belove.media/resources.   Email me: [email protected]   For social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzov    Subscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!

I was pretty resentful coming out of yesterdays coaching class…  Going into todays one on one with coach Vince…  I had to get my mind right or I was going to “tell him off”.  This is all in my mind of course.  So you know the drill, prayer writing, meditation, a little talk with god.  I went into the one on one and it was the most amazing thing ever.Episode notes:Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitA wonky mediation this morning.  I meditate for an hour in the mornings and this one was wonky.  Yesterday I was in a state because the classroom was hard on me and my summit copy but it has been a great rebound non the less.I had done some poor copy yesterday and I knew it.  And I took it personally when I got the negative reviews…  I did get some good new copy down after praying and meditating and such.  And I did some writing on my resentments…  Yesterday I had gotten to a space of if I had wasted my money being in the couching group for a year.  Financial insecurity starts creeping in.   And then I was worried that I was gonna have a fitful night sleep which of course happened.  I was having interview mares…  Like night mares…  I went into a mantra that the dreams aren’t even real…  and that helped.So in meditation this morning…  as I’m meditating for the hour this morn…  Can you breath through the thoughts that want to get you of off the couch.  Out of your meditation spot.  Or pull you into moving and doing something else.   That’s one of the great things about mediation.  I woke up and there was all this summit stress fly around.  All these copy ideas…  etc.  And I was able to breath through it :).   What’s so powerful about that is that you can carry that into your day.   One of the many benefits of mediation.My mind was working hard to lift me off the couch!  There was none of that bliss-e, blip out, you’re going in and out of the blissful state.  No I was on the couch and I new it.  I like that sometimes, there was discomfort and I new it, there was stuff trying to upset the moment.Then on to my one on one with Coach Vince this morning…  All this praying and journaling to free the resentments.  Hey god, give everything I want for myself in this world to Vince.  Give him his happiness his health and his prosperity.  Which was quite a shift from “I’m going to tell him off!” on the couching call.  All right how can I learn what I need to learn, how can I be a good student to vince?  I took a breath and a prayer right before the coaching call.   And when I went into the call with an open mind setting aside that baggage, it was the most amazing coaching call.  And the copy that we worked on and what I learned by holding an open mind and being willing to be a student in that moment so I could apply it immediately was so so powerful.  Man I mad some major ground on the summit today.  I am on track for the summit opening and the summit going off.The Tools For A Good Life…  There is so much in that summit.  Join the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummitStart podcasting!  Get the Shure MV88 mobile mic, you can literally take it anywhere on the fly https://amzn.to/2Mnba3QAccess my “Insiders Guide to Finding Peace” here: https://belove.media/peace    See more resources at https://belove.media/resources.   Email me: [email protected]   For social Media:      https://www.instagram.com/mrmischaz/  https://www.facebook.com/MischaZvegintzov     Subscribe and share to help spread the love for a better world!As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.  Mischa's Stuff!Join my Podcast guest speaking Masterclass: Register NowThis Masterclass will teach you:How to speak with confidence and authenticity.How to find podcasts that attract your ideal audience.How to get booked without the hassle.Ideal for coaches, course creators, and heart-centered entrepreneurs who want to generate leads, customers, and sales in a genuine way.Join us and start your journey to becoming a podcast guest-speaking pro!Register Now______________________For social Media:      LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mischaz/Subscribe and share with your business associates who could use a listen!
